Sparticus Dies

Our beloved plant succumbed to the nematodes today after a long fight. We laid him to rest in the dumpster and, despite the random shouts of obscenities from open dorm windows, had a nice service in his memory.

The corner of 313 is now vacant. All that remains of Sparticus is his apron and bow tie. We have a small pot of daisies, but they cannot compare to Sparticus's splendor and oxygenating abilities.

We remember Sparticus - the plant, the personality, the legend.

we should write obituaries for a living- i recently received an A on my obituary assignment in my journalism class, and yours is brilliant.

Haven't you seen "Doug" Boges?



Ah, the uncultured youth of today.

Yes I have seen "Doug"... but it was on when I was in elementary school so it does not count because I do not really remember much.

Is there an echo in here?


And if you don't remember it, it doesn't count.



Is it wrong I had a crush on Patty Mayonaisse?

Remember when Doug went Disney in 1998 and sucked from there on out?

I do remember the movie, infact I had the VHS, but now I do not know where it is... darn, there was something about nematodes in it.

Thomas Clark said...

What movie?



Yeah, wasn't Skeeter (what a tragically funny name) a genius or something? Or was the the old one?



The new one couldn't hold a torch to the old one.
