I just hope there's more banyans.

Timexwatch · September 16, 2003, 15:46

There's a conspicous lack of a hot jock, opininated latina and a token black guy. What kind of teen horror story is this?

The first successfully completed tunnel under the Thames is still in use.

Jon Miller · September 16, 2003, 17:05

there were tunnels under my college too

I never went in them, but most the people I knew had

Before the new dorms were built at my college, every building was connected either by tunnels or by bridges.

Oerdin · September 16, 2003, 20:39

I don't think there were ever any tunnels under UCSB. Though when I first graduated I couldn't find a job so I worked a couple of weeks on the New Ball Park they're building in Downtown San Diego. During that time I saw workers from SDG&E (the local gas and power utility) go down into a giant utility tunnel they have running under Imperial Ave. They let me go down there too just to take a peak and the place was big enough to drive a truck through but much of the tunnel was flooded with salt water from the bay.

there are tunnels that connect burton judson courts with the main quad across the midway.

they've been blocked, though.

Back in the dorms, when we were in our first and second years, we heard rumours about "tunneling." This involved the subterranean maintenance tunnels that ran under the entire campus of UCLA and part of Westwood - a labyrinth of round, warren-like tunnels flanked by pipes and wires and dust. It was further rumoured that if a student was caught in the tunnels, he or she would be immediately and summarily expelled.

Weird. There was the same rumour about Birmingham university when I was there.

DaShi · September 17, 2003, 09:08

Damn it! Haven't you watched enough Buffy to know what kind of creepy things live in tunnels beneath schools.

KrazyHorse · September 17, 2003, 09:35

I was pretty sure this story would end up in a "so that was my first lesbian experience" type of place, but it didn't.

And yes, I'm disappointed.

MikeH · September 17, 2003, 09:40

Yeah, she could have made something like that up. If not I'll do it later.

st_swithin · September 17, 2003, 13:35

Oerdin · September 17, 2003, 13:38

Why would anyone build tunnels under westwood?

st_swithin · September 17, 2003, 13:43

I'm getting to it, I'm getting to it...

Hueij · September 17, 2003, 13:54

Wow, great story so far. It's my one big fantasy to go tunneling with a biology major but so far no luck...

Nubclear · September 17, 2003, 13:59

And then I went back to sleep.

This start kind of reminds me of trainspotting.

Unfortunately, post-Trainspotting, all things Scottish and heroin-related remind people who've seen Trainspotting of Trainspotting. Except for Phantom Menace.

I liked it better when people ran around saying "Ef et's nae Scottish, et's CRAP!!" (for all you SNL fans out there).

Straybow · September 19, 2003, 20:51

Doesn't this belong in NES??

Jon Miller · September 19, 2003, 20:54

so Phantom Menace was Scottish and heroin-related?

There's a pretty good tunnel system at Wesleyan University. Student are always breaking down the locks and its has some of the best grafitti I've ever seen, including the serialized story of El Wes's quest for Trust, Justice and Cheap Drugs.

For God's sake can someone just invent a phrase that describes opening a post, reading it, thinking about it, having a point of view and then finding that at the bottom of the post someone else has said EXACTLY the same words as you were going to.

For me, from this moment on, this feeling will always be known as "Millerism."

Oh , and if any one quotes the above Jon Miller line and says " No.It was shite." I am just going to cry with anguish and claim "presqu-millerism"

Edit: I wouldn't have put Jon Miller at the bottom.

Great pervert minds think alike.

st_swithin · September 19, 2003, 22:47

You know, I'm spilling my guts here and it keeps coming back to the lesbian thing. You guys need to buy more porn, or else I'm writing the wrong kind of stuff.

I know, obvious answer, and honestly, if you've ever had a psycho girlfriend, you know why I'm not going there.

However, I should have a pretty good explanation for having those tunnels under Westwood soon, so maybe you'll forgive the lack of hot girl-girl action.

flipside · September 19, 2003, 23:22

Are the tunnels related to the lack of girl-girl action?

Have they caused them to spill their guts?

For no good reason, and hence, we should not go there?

Psycho girlfriends are kinda interesting for control study purposes.

Are you really 6 feet swithin? That's like the biggest Chinawoman I've ever heard of.

You "behind the scenes" narrative style is very good.
