<p>Obviously, I stand with Currier.</p>
<p>Fight fight fight fight.</p>
<p>This amuses me no end.</p>
<p>@exultationsy: Has the CEB organized an all-campus Risk tournament recently? That was pretty epic when I was there. I was still in Lowell House then, and we lost pretty badly. Pfoho (my adopted home) won in some sort of weird 3-way-tie with Leverett and Quincy. This, mind you, was during reading period because we were all looking for an excuse to do something other than papers and studying. It was epic.</p>
<p>No, they haven’t. The various in-house assassins (etc.) games are starting to take place, if that counts. In the inter-House war, the alliances in the war are still shaking out–Pfoho, Cabot, and Mather’s Hocos have recently sided with Currier against Adams. I think Adams is looking for allies. Winthrop just declared an unrelated (but inspired, the copycats) war on Lowell for always keeping their rear gate closed and for playing out-of-tune Lady Gaga as early as noon (shock, horror!) on Sundays. Leverett may just have been co-opted, even if not very enthusiastically, into the Quad-Mather group, and the Winthrop-Lowell war will probably align with the primary war just because it’s more fun that way. I don’t know which will go with which team–I’d guess Lowell would go with Adams, but Adams might also be mad about the bells. Basically, it’s getting all World War I up here in Cambridge.</p>
<p>Anyhow, my house list has been suggesting some sort of tournament to settle things once the full list of houses has settled into the Central Powers and the Quad-etc Entente. (We are of course both the “good guys” and the winners. There will probably be a couple Switzerlands, although they might be more like Belgium and become occupied territory.) I think my email list said the Pfoho-Adams War where Pfoho won dining privileges in Adams was settled with a field day style thing, but what–if anything–will be used to settle this one has not yet been determined.</p>
<p>Yup. Being able to dine in Adams was highly convenient…though I was only a beneficiary. The Pfoho-Adams War was before my time. </p>
<p>I love that this might turn into WWIII (I think this might be the only appropriate situation to say that un-ironically) in Harvard Yard. I’m an ex-Lowellian, but dear lord were those bells annoying on Sundays when you’re trying to sleep in past noon.</p>
<p>P.S. I’m hearing rumors that Henry Kissinger is (was) on campus for some event at Sanders(?) and was questioned about the Currier-Pfoho squabbles. Being a former Sec-of-State and National Security Advisor/Nobel Peace laureate (deservedly or not) as well as an Adams House alum, he should have much to say. -_^</p>
<p>As a Quadling whose ability to eat in Adams has just been affirmatively denied, I’m thinking of actually starting going and eating lunch there. Can’t catch me I’m the gingerbread man. (The food, it would not tempt me otherwise, no matter how close it is.)</p>
<p>Also, not only are the bells annoying, apparently they’ve been trying (note the trying) for months to play Lady Gaga. Boy would that ruin a morning for me, haha.</p>
<p>[Not</a> only was he on campus, not only did he have a comment, he had a full-fledged endorsement of Adams House! Boo hiss.](<a href=“http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2012/4/11/kissinger-support-adams-house/]Not”>The Harvard Crimson)</p>
<p>I have to go write a paper, but you’re going to want to be following [the</a> Crimson’s blog,](<a href=“http://www.thecrimson.com/section/flyby/]the”>The Harvard Crimson) which has been taken over by War stuff lately.</p>
<p>This is all so confusing but amusing. What is this place? I’m dying.</p>
<p>1) He has a Nobel. He should advocate for peace, not war. (Of course, there are people who think he’s a war criminal. Granted, they’re mostly extreme lefties, but…I digress.)
2) They played John Williams’ Hedwig’s Theme all the time when I was there. Going Gaga is really quite a few steps down. Though, at least they’re not playing Ke$ha. (Though I’m not sure if I’d be able to tell the difference between in-tune and out-of-tune Ke$ha)
3) You MUST DEMAND to be allowed to dine in Adams.
4) Good luck with your paper!
5) Don’t be confused! Rejoice! Who said we’re a bunch of bookworms who do nothing but study? What?!?</p>
