British slang meaning to hide and keep quiet, possibly deriving from the phrase let sleepingdogs lie in the sense of not making a noise or causing a disturbance. It probably originating in the 19th Century, and was used by poachers who would hide and keep quiet in order to snare rabbits or to avoid being found by gamekeepers and their dogs.
The annual St. Patrick's Day party at Colby College. Traditionally celebrated on the Saturday closest to St. Patrick's Day, students wake up at 4 am to drink green beer and other alcoholic beverages with their friends. Swallowing a live goldfish is also part of the tradition for some people. When the event was jeopardized by local police and school administrators in 2004, students rioted, causing over $20,000 in damage.
I'm so excited to drink for 24 hours straight on Doghead...I just hope I don't get written up by security.
The dogcow is a drawing of a rather indiscriminate-looking animal (it looks mostly like a dog but is said to have the spots of a cow) that is used in the Apple Macintosh operating system (versions before OS X) to help tell users about their printing options. You can see the dogcow (in Mac OS 9.x or earlier) by going to the Finder, looking under "Page Setup...", and then looking under printer options. The dogcow is used to show you what kind of option you've selected. For example, "Flip Horizontal" flips the dogcow to upside down.
If you click on the dogcow, the Macintosh sends you the animal's characteristic cry of "Moof"! The dogcow icon was originally created by graphic artist Susan Kare in 1987. Susan is the same artist who created the graphic interface for everyone's favorite Windows 3.1 card game, Solitaire. Microsoft has adopted its own version of the dogcow and uses it to demonstrate slide transitions in its PowerPoint application, although Apple retains its copyright on the original image and, believe it or not, the "Moof"!
A Colby College event that celebrates St. Patrick's Day on the closest Friday/Saturday to the holiday. Students start drinking in the evening Friday and stay up all night (while drinking like champs) then watch the sunrise (drunk) and attend a special breakfast (even drunker). The drinking lasts for at least 24 hours and students wear green, drink green, and vomit green goldfish.
Viva La Colby
I have NO memory of this year's doghead! Lost my ID, phone, and my dignity at Colby College...
