Quotes from the Field are real quotes overheard by the Clog on and around campus. And if you’ve heard something stupid today, feel free to comment the love.
“Why does everyone look so unattractive? At least put more good-looking people on the mural.”
Two words: Berkeley goggles. You must be a freshman. Worry not, your standards will lower with time. This ain’t no Santa Barbara! We are Berkeley! We’re smart, we’re well-rounded, and we’re hungover from Thursday night!
“Ugh. These are supposed to be the ‘faces of Berkeley’, why are there so many Asians on this mural? Where are all the athletes?”
Hey, those Asians might be athletes … OK, they probably aren’t. If you, speaker, are willing to ignore the fact that three-fourths of our campus population is “Asian,” then we’ll just have to move on to our next conspiracy theory: Asians love taking pictures? Peace!
“Obama wants to stop drilling for oil in the Middle East and open up drilling in the U.S. — we’re all going to be dead in ten years!!!”
Ten years, eh? So do we start adding or subtracting life years when the powers-that-be switch to nuclear energy? Or something? Anything?
“…she’s twenty-three years old, do they [presumably the subject's parents] expect her to be a fucking virgin? I mean, what are they, Christian?”
For today’s last quote, we decided it would be fun to Mad Lib the last word:
- “… Jewish/Quaker/Protestant/Jehovah’s Witness?”
- “… virgins?”
- “… concerned parents?”
- “… Republican?”
Well, you guys can probably come up with some more.
