Garden grow-op?
Re: The woman who knew too much?, Sept. 14
If the organizers of the SAC Equity Garden actually want to turn a profit, they should convert the space into the city’s first student-sponsored open-air grow-op. Everybody else is doing it, and they’re located right in the middle of the target market for such fresh produce. The million-dollar debt the university apparently owes to the CFS would be paid off in six months, easy. SAC should lead the charge on this innovative idea.

• Enough with all this SAC Equity Garden stuff already! Gardens waste water, trap wind-blown garbage, look messy, and steal the air humans need to live. I say pave it over and replace it with Astroturf if you want some tidy green space. As for the people who depend on the garden’s output for sustenance, let them eat free-range!

Re: “Christmas gift rappers,” Varsity Classifieds, Nov. 28
Yo, what was up with your recent classified ad for Christmas gift rappers? I called the number and set up a meet, expecting to find MC Rudee, Shh-elf, Miss.is.claws and J-Frizzle spinning some mad tunez. But instead of rhyming holiday classics like “White Powder Christmas,” “I’ll Be Home For Christmas…If I Get Parole,” and “Gangsta Wonderland,” all these jokers did was throw some tinsel and tape over the bling I planned to give to ma peeps. I don’t need no help doing that-I just use bandaids and old newspapers like all the other guys. I wanted some holiday flow, not some shiny bows. Watch your damn homonym use, Varsity!

I’m very disappointed with all the discarded umbrellas I’ve noticed around campus after the recent rains. Students have obviously become more lackadaisical in their affairs since the days when I dated the young Bob Rae and headed the Hart House Morality Committee. Yes, the youth of today must be environmentally and financially derelict, based on the number of students who left their broken bumbershoot for the grounds crew to dispose of. I’m tired of having pleasant strolls through Victoria College marred by the sight of mangled metal frames and wind-ravaged canvases. Use a garbage can, you ninnies, or, better yet, show some ingenuity and repair the darn things! You ever hear of a screwdriver? It’s a handy invention, I’ll show you how it works sometime!

Man…whoever designed those crazy patterns on Windows Media Player did a great job. How do those mesmerizing shapes and colours know to mimic the beat of the music so perfectly, and how can they change with every song? It’s just so cool. How do they know?
