Harvey Mudd College

1. A community of unicyclists, pyromaniacs, and computer nerds.

2. An exciting, if short-lived, resource for Scrippsie's sexual frustration. Mudders are preferred to CMCers because they are less likely to turn into sexual predators.

3. A campus full of men who break up with Scrippsies by telling them that they "can't see this ending in marriage."
"Dude, you go to Harvey Mudd College? Can you get me some free tentacle porn?"

"You're dating a Mudder? Does he have time to sexually service you, when all he does is play Warhammer and D'n'D?"

"What do you mean 'your girlfriend's a Mudder'? There aren't any women there!"

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
