So, Tim Best served me a beer last night. He seems to be in very good spirits despite what's going on. He's probably feeling lucky most of the people there last night are Western students.
Speaking of which, with the Overheard at Western website now gone, here's a couple gems I've heard...
Girl: "I have to get it from Dundas and First Streets..."
Guy: "Dundas and First?! WHOA! That is SO FAR AWAY, out near the 401!"
Me: "Let me guess, are you from Toronto?"
Guy: "Yeah"
Another one from a year ago:
Girl 1: "I got on the Wellington bus on campus, and I stayed on it for a long time, and it went SO FAR AWAY!"
Girl 2: "Where did you end up?"
Me: (thinking she ended up on Millbank Drive or something)
Girl 1: "Richmond and Carling!!!"
I hear the term "SO FAR AWAY" with extreme emphasis around campus to describe anything outside the university gates so often, it's not even funny anymore. It's like they have to go through Toronto and out past Belleville to get to Highbury Avenue. It's a stereotype some Fanshawe students have even commented on.
