<p>Gee - sounds like the same kind of fun that UMASS enjoys all tooo often…</p>

<p>And to think I thought pot made people peaceful.</p>

<p>Evergreen was the home of “riot grrrl” music. So no surprise.</p>

5

<p>Yet they wonder why rap and hip-hop shows get reputations for trouble.</p>

<p>AND, surprise, surprise— the “Valentines Day Riot” is already listed on Dead Prez site on wikipedia. It relates that the group just “suggested” the crowd “do something.”</p>

<p>A recently imported African lion escaped from the zoo, grabbed a two-year-old, and was about chomp down when an Evergreen student ran over, hit the lion over the head, forced the lion’s mouth open, and saved the child.</p>

<p>The headline in the paper the next day read:</p>

<p>“Radical Evergreen student steals food from hungry immigrant.”</p>

<p>When I heard of the recent eco-terrorism arson event in Woodinville my first thought was, “Evergreen students at it again.”</p>

10

<p>Actually, from the first arrests it looks like “student-athletes”. (Didn’t know there were any at Evergreen.)</p>

<p>The Evergreen/Olympia ELF woman was just convicted in the UW arson case.</p>

<p>A real soccer mom. And convicted terrorist. You just never know. I guess I can’t get too upset when my wife gets the full patdown search at the airport.</p>
