You get the Todorovian implications, right?Cal to Protestors: "Yeah, We're Gonna Need Those Trees Back"
Bye!
Over a year and a half after taking to the trees, Save the Oaks, a group protesting the University's plans to build a "Student Athlete High Performance Center" on what is now a grove playing host to 150-year-old oaks, may soon no longer have a branch to call home. That's right: The tree-sitters have lost their legal standing, which is mos...

This Summer's Thirstiest Fashion Statement
A (what I presume to be German) company is now producing-- I kid you not-- wine bras and strap-on beer bellies.
Humanity is awesome.
Girls, make sure he's getting his fair share of that wine. If you go to a party and are literally drinking your boobs, you're gonna want him good and drunk.

Thoughts on the new design? I think it's kind of neat. Not as yellow. That always made me a little nauseous.

Cal to Protestors: "Yeah, We're Gonna Need Those Trees Back"
Second, I completely agree with you. I know that athletics are important to a well-rounded university; I know that lots of people need this gym--not just athletes, but their trainers and masseuses, too; and, while I did not personally know that the oaks were planted after the university was built, I appreciate you having the journalistic integrity to do some research before posting anonymously on this anonymous blog. What I'm trying to give here is a different perspective, one that doesn't take all this bullsh*t so seriously. It's been nothing but "those goddamn mangy hippie tree-sitters" and "If I Were A Tree I'd Die For Cal Football" for the past 2 years, almost, and I think that's ridiculous. People are more up-in-arms about building a gym (and, I guess, office space) than they are about things that really matter--like, I don't know, the war? I'm putting aside reason, for example, the fact that none of the protesters were affiliated with the university, that they were all crazy, that the stadium needs to be seismically retrofitted, and that those women's lacrosse players need to have a gym to change in, so that it looks more like it really should: A squabble between two opposing viewpoints that, while costing everyone and their mother millions of dollars, isn't really going to mean that much in the long run.
