Nice 10 watt, bug attracting logic, bernse.
To know you is to… well, to know you.
Your lack of a vocabulary explains the reading skills.
Once and for all and s l o w l y . . .
It’s an unwise waste of a resource.
The temptation to always “make it bigger than last year’s” will eventually and unpredictably ensure it’s future collapse yet again.
Spirit and tradition can be generated in other, safer, equally emotional ways.
With your people skills the closest you’ll get to lays is with a frito.
excuse me, bernse. that above was directed to demise.
my apologies.

You must be running in “clue:optional” mode today because you sure don’t have one. I suggest you go here and realize that these were human beings that died.
And what on the IPU’s green earth does Columbine have to do with the bonfire collapse?
Maybe, some day, when you go to college you will realize that the social dynamics are substantially different than they are in high school.
Dead jocks.
And I’m 47, been through college and all the group dynamics shit you might want and still have little use for the classic “jocks,” as defined as “people with muscles instead of brains, testosterone instead of blood, and school spirit out the wazoo” versus people who happen to be athletic and

Its just a stupid tradition. Along the lines of Christmas trees (now, that is a waste, but another rant).
Is it deforesting the US south? Nah. Is it polluting the air we breathe? Not appreciably. It is something to be a little miffed about? Maybe. Is it a BIG DEAL worthy of a pit rant? Well, not for me but whatever floats your boat.
Its just not a problem for most people, thats all.
ooooops! Wrong button.
Actually, I’m just in a jagoff mood. I’d be real sad if one of my daughters had been killed there. Either place. And I’d be pushing to get something as moronic as that bonfire cancelled permanently.
But I’m mostly indulging in borderline trollish behavior. I should, and will, stop.
How ironic that you try to belittle my logic. Then again, I suppose that I shouldn’t be surprised.
My reading skills are fine; yours seem to be lacking however. I’m saying that you are so full of shit, you’re like a big turd volcano. Each of your posts is a crap eruption that showers this message board with squirts of liquid feces and dung bombs. The foul miasma that is rushing like a excremental pyroclastic flow from your odorous orifice is so potent that I’m surprised it hasn’t stained the surrounding posts brown.
If you have any evidence at all for your little rant, post it. Otherwise you’ll remain a super-sized shit spout.
Someday you might almost be clever. Keep trying!
Agreed, bernse.
Maybe if every Stevie Wonder wannabe driving a 2 1/2 ton phonebooth down here didn’t just happen to have “gig 'em” stickers plastered all over their ever lastin’, shit blastin’ maroon pick ups I’d be more tole’rant.
Butt they do and I’m not.
peace.
I doubt it. The problem was that the fucking aggies were drunk off their ass, as is the norm for that worthless school. It’s understandable though because most of the common sense in Texas can be found in the Austin area. A&M’s bullshit traditions are one of the plethora of reasons why I left the 8th layer of hell known as College Station in pursuit of a real education.
I’d also like to make it known that Miami University kicked the shit out of A&M in the US Cycling Federation track racing team pursuit and the Men’s points race this past weekend at Major Taylor in Indianapolis IN. Go Flyers!
My central log cracks and I’m going to have an accident too.
Sorry, for all those of you in support of those sheep rapers here:

Now, now. Sober AND intelligent people might not have, but it’s certainly possible that sober and stupid ones would.
I don’t mind so much. It just seems to me that if you’re going to routinely build a huge-ass bonfire, that accidents will happen from time to time, and people will end up dead and injured. Obviously it’s not much of a tragedy if the tradition’s more important than that inevitability. Not something to exult over, and certainly people dying is a sad thing, but a tragedy? Naw.
I asked Dropzone for the same thing, now I’ll ask you. Do you have a cite for your accusation that the people invovled were drunk?
The link he posted above stated that two of the students killed were drunk. Two out of twelve, good enough, let’s call them all drunk. :rolleyes:
cykrider, your sentiments are in the right place, but I’d have to say they are a bit extreme. While I despise Aggies, I don’t want them dead, nor would I celebrate them dying.
Besides, UT lost that game because we felt sorry for them. Can’t go giving Aggies advantages like that all the time.
a couple of notes from yet another “non-Aggie” who “wouldn’t understand”:
If you look at old A&M yearbooks (say, from the '40s or '50s), you’ll see a much smaller and simpler bonfire than the kind of multi-tiered wedding cake design that collapsed. Were the students back then sadly deficient in school spirit because of the size of the fire? To hear the recent squawking over scaling down the bonfire, you’d have to think so.
Has anyone at that school ever considered how much finer a memory a class could leave behind by working on a senior project that created something lasting, rather than lurching and hollering around a bonfire?
Out of morbid curiosity, how did you end up in what you call the eighth layer of hell? Did you not read the brochure carefully? Did you tour the campus with a blindfold? Were you accepted as part of an affirmative action program designed to give socialization opportunities to complete assholes?
I don’t really think that everyone was drunk. But the link plus the other news coverage etc. was enough to show that alcohol was involved.
Involved in what? Two out of twelve were drunk. Big deal. Saying “alcohol was involved” is a joke. Even the article you allude to says as much-
I’d add a bunch of reasons why I support the rally, but other’s here have done a better job than what I would do, especially MGibson- He nailed it, as far as I’m concerned.
*And Dropzone-
I haven’t read a more full of shit, ignorant, comment like that since FreakFreely left.
What the fuck is your problem?
This reminds me of the local “corn monument” here in Iowa. During Homecoming week, it was a tradition to create a monument made out of corn and burn it after the big parade. But over time, it became less practical to burn a huge cornstalk bonfire in the middle of town, and it became a quaint memory.
On the other hand, the A&M bonfire seems to have developed a case of megalomania. It just kept getting bigger and more insane, nothing could stop it until someone got killed.
Aggies are fucking red necks who get off to sheep.
I went to A&M last year and it was the worst mistake I have ever made in my entire life. Unless you are a narrow-minded, wrangler-wearing, tobacco-chewing, cousin-loving, cowboy, you would agree with me. I am not surprised at their carelessness with our environment.
