Katrina Cash Cow Mice Madness

We at the residence of 314 E. Poplar St., more commonly known as the Monstrosity opened our doors and hearts to the thirsty students of Whitman College last Saturday night to raise money for Hurricane Katrina victims. With something like 8 other parties going on and a $3 cover charge to get in, we were worried. However, the allure of two bands and three kegs proved to be akin to white on rice as the evening raised over $900 dollars, meaning that for at least part of the night, 300 people passed through our house, one even left his ID card on our counter and retrieved it later. The next morning we all rose groggy and hungover to march onto ankeny to continue the hamburgerlurgers dominance in IM football and that dominance continued as Phi Delta Theta forfeited. This surely had nothing to do with the fact that their two best players happened to be playing for us. Then the girls Black Attack team, maimed, mauled and walked all over another senior team. Garrett took 140 pictures (actually) of the game so hopefully Drew can post some of those here soon. There is one of my ass that will make a grown man weep. It should also be noted that despite trapping and killing five mice in the last week, the sightings continue, and one trap was even dragged with captured prey in it from the third floor down to my room, where garrett found it and actually considered taking his shotgun outside and shooting it. WOW. Fortunately he could not enact his plan because one of the many neighborhood monstro-cats grabbed the trap, with slightly alive mouse still within and took off to a secret cat lair for a nice meal of feces and hair. I however, still maintain that there are no mice in the monstrosity as in two semesters of living here, I have yet to actually see a mouse, so don't believe the hype.
