So I’d just like to inform you all that I got dumped again last week – and yes, by a woman. It seems that she felt I was a bit too immature. Apparently “mature” human beings don’t come home drunk, get naked in the bathroom, and push their shoe around in the toilet bowl – all the while making tug boat noises.
You know society is crumbling when media pundits Matt Drudge and Bill O’Reilly are sympathizing with a drug abuser. When these two hard-nosed pushers of rightist ideals exhibit sorrow and loss for someone addicted to legal heroin, apocalypse is upon us.

That is the very reason why horror films have had a continually enduring popularity. They allow us to become scared but within a realm of safety.
You buy larger clothes. You try to act happy and proud when seeing old friends who managed to stay trim since you saw them last. People think you’re lazy, you’re a slob and you’re ugly. Your doctor preaches to you about how you’ll die of a heart attack at 30, but that is the least of your concerns right now.
For the eighth year in a row, the brothers of the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity are making every effort possible to scare the hell out of the University of Maine and surrounding communities. Their annual haunted house, which benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, is scheduled to be held tomorrow from 7 p.
No member of the 2003 University of Maine football team has ever played at Delaware Stadium, but this Saturday, each player will get to play in the best football atmosphere of the conference.
The stadium, home of the undefeated Blue Hens holds 22,000 fans, and has averaged almost 21,000 in attendance for each of its five home games this season.
On Sunday, Oct. 26, the University of Maine women’s soccer team ended a two game road trip the same way they started it: in bitter defeat. Playing nearly five hours from home in West Hartford, Conn., the Black Bears suffered their second consecutive loss after dropping a game to the University of New Hampshire on Friday afternoon.
