Paradise Found by Hilarious Bee
July 16th, 2008 11:42 PMThe clutter is ridiculous, in the news office especially where I focused my documentation. There are layers of books, back-issues and various odds and ends left by editors past. Occasionally one comes across items so odd, so out-of-place, it's a mystery how they would even and up in a student news office. The place also reminds me of my high school in a very good way. In short, I love it :)
I should also say that there is talk at the Varsity of actually cleaning the place up. If it actually goes through, I will miss the clutter, but I have a feeling that it will return somehow.
Some highlights:
A sampling of the odd objects one can find:
Paradise, no?
A second-story view of a gorgeous day and piles of books, how can you not call this paradise?
The view
The Clutter
News Editor Naushad sits amid the tremendous clutter. The bag on the left is shrimp chips, the other is sugar, just sugar.
Gross Futon
Many have napped on it, none should have.
Smashed
An editor who will go unnamed smashed a beer bottle into this design. Varsity parties are legendary or infamous depending on who you ask XD
Shame!
Hate mail to a past News Editor, his old camera and hat sit above.
Rummy
Some facts and quotable notables from good ol' Rummy.
Green Lady
I've always been rather fascinated by the murals here. Yes, that is an American dollar bill taped to her belt.
Blue Man
I should tape some money to him as well.
More books
At least this window isn't precariously open.
Back in the News Office
A year-old Michael Parenti flyer, sugar, and Advil among other things on the news desk.
Ummm
An old Varsity front page, an empty beer bottle, what I hope is flour (it's been there for months), and Jemima Puddleduck.
Andre, aging hippie
An affectionate drawing of one of our editors as an aging hippie (he's actually in his 20s).
Balcony
Bird poop and cigarette butts included.
Pidgeons
Yay pidgeons
Droppers
As an example of some of the absurd things we find in here, a case of glass droppers.
Lil' Homie
I think these are called "Lil' Homies," you can get them out of little machines in bad restaurants.
Animal Rings
I actually found another one (a cow, I think) right after I took this but alas there was work to finish :P
Naushad
I should be fair and include some of the people that make the news office an paradise. Here's Naushad again (Jane took this pic I think).
Young Andre
Here's Andre, not an aging hippie yet.
Jade
Here's Jade, ain't she cute?
Jane
Jane, probably editing something very serious and important (or reading webcomics, who knows).

Yeah, I think that's the simple explanation for why I feel so at home there. Thanks for the vote :)
Many have napped on it, none should have.
Hee!
I am inordinately affected by the place where you're getting a lot of work done being considered a paradise.
Damn, that DOES resemble Delta. Incredibly much so. Looking at the murals gave me vertigo.
