[Vision2020] Jus' When You Thought Things Couln't Get More Stupid . . .

[Reggie Holmquist]

Oh, wow, that's where I live.  I am a 1l and I have not met Mr. Tribble.
Funny, though, one of the other 1ls who lives in the same housing was
talking to me the other day about the fact that South Hill Vista residents
are not allowed to keep firearms.  I'm not sure how I feel about it.  To be
honest, I'm half ambivalent and half apathetic.  The more interesting thing
is whether or not he has a winnable case.  I'm not really sure what the
answer to that is.  At any rate, I'm not fully sure if suing the university
is really a good way to make a name for yourself.

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what
the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be
replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another
theory which states that this has already happened.
