Post Letter: Students celebrate fest irresponsibly
May 15, 2010In the great tradition of Dionysus, students from Ohio University and other universities lost themselves in the celebration of Palmerfest.

Wasn't it awesome when we set a couch on fire last year and embarrassed our entire community? Hell yeah! Let's do it again. Let me grab a couch and yell U-S-A a whole lot. George Washington is rolling over in his grave. People this intelligent would have difficulty winning an argument against a grapefruit, and for some reason they are allowed to buy lighters.
