Bates College

Traditionally teased as being the weakest of the Maine schools, Bates has a real crunchy/ social consciousness /outdoorsy vibe not found at Colby and Bowdoin.

So, dude, you didnt get into Bowdoin? Forget those elitist creeps! You can work with Sommali refugees and wear your Berks at Bates College

abandonware

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.

Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.

The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
