An annual football game between Ithaca College and SUNY Cortland. The rivalry is very intense even though both teams are kind of terrible. Students from both schools claim that their institution always wins, but as of 2010 Ithaca has won 34 vs. Cortland's 18.
Cortland kid: Omg Cortland always wins Cortaca.
Ithaca kid: As a literate and well-informed human being, I would like to point out that IC has almost twice the number of wins of Cortland.

Cortaca is more than the football game where Cortland State kick's Ithaca's ass, but is the mindset all should have during the year at Cortland State. It cannot be defined- it must be lived.
"Cortaca!"
"WOO!"

cortical dysplasia

This female inherited disease is one from birth and is a form of epilepsy. It's onset is during childhood and is defined by intractable seizures. In adulthood, it progresses to extreme sexiness and good looks. The females whom suffer from this are excellent cuddle buddies, make the greatest KD Mac n Cheese, and are well known for their moves between the sheets. In adults, a trigger for seizure like activity can be extreme humour. Their seizures can also be mistaken for a full tonic-clonic or grand mal with uncontrolled laughter. Girls with this are definitely keepers.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
