People and things you should know

Welcome to my bi-weekly column, tabloid/yellow journalism style, Fanshawe College gossip column. Enough about what this is, let's dive into the dish.

Mr. InterrobangThe Blue Motel Party held in Fanshawe's automotive building began burning up FSU phone lines at 4:01pm on the Tuesday eve of the event, as would be party goers wanted to find out where in the world the secret party location was. The biggest gripe was that the party was on campus…duh…where did you think it was going to be held, a bar downtown?

Howard Rundle and Scott PorterAn interesting mix of people turned out to the Blue Motel Party, including college prez Howard Rundle, left, along with Vice President sidekick Scott Porter. The dynamic duo were treated to the sights and sounds of scantily clad women grinding it up on the dance floor. And hey, where were your wives? Let me guess they thought you were at another “boring” board meeting? Though the line of the night had to come from a student confiding to Howard that, and I'm paraphrasing here, he has been in the automotive building for two years now and this is the first time he's seen straight chicks in the area.

Contrary to Ivory Tower rumour mongers college VP pin-up girls, Cathie Auger (pronounced O.J.) and Bernice Hull weren't at the Blue Motel Party along with Howard and Scott. But it begs the question if they were would they have been…and…on the dance floor. Ahh, strike that thought.

Also spotted at the Blue Motel Party was former Oasis and Out Back Shack night manager Tyler Costello. Tyler left the FSU in the summer for greener pastures. It looks like Ty's been missing the college girls. Guess those prissy university girls at Ceeps/Barney's have nothing on the women of Fanshawe?

If you're wondering why Biz Booth Czar, Kevin “Beef” Masterson seems to be kinder and gentler (though he'll still call you a moron) this year as opposed to previous years, here's your answer. Beef got engaged over the summer and is planning on tying the knot in the summer of 2006. Sorry ladies, Fanshawe's most eligible bachelor is off the market, but you could always try FSU VP Entertainment Mike Kockich. We'll hook you up sooner, but probably later Mikey.

Those of you doing a double take in Oasis when ordering your food, ughh, that is former FSU VP and presidential hopeful James Montgomery cooking up your eats. Gomer finished third in the three horse race for FSU prez, won by Melissa Smart in February. During the election campaign Gomer claimed to have booked David Carradine for an appearance in Forwell Hall, and that he was the point man on making the First Run Film series go. But before I digress let's give out some props to Gomer, as all reports indicate that he works a mean grill in Oasis and has been a model employee. Maybe you've found your calling…and hey, you're doing it on the FSU's dime. Talk about killing two birds with one stone.

A recent xBox tourney featuring the game HALO in Oasis raised some interesting questions, like, I thought the Homophile Association of London Ontario disbanded a few years ago? Not sure if it's just me, but if you're going to have a video game tourney it should be a sports game, like NHL hockey. Anything else is just lame and gay.

Interesting conversation heard outside a washroom recently between a guy and his gal. The guy looked rather nervous as he waited for his gal pal to finish in the washroom, but upon exiting the guy was polite enough to ask if she had a “pleasant pee”. Thankfully she didn't blurt out anything to do with burning sensations because she was all smiles after the tinkles. I'm just glad she wasn't busy pinching a loaf in there as I shudder to think how that conversation may have went. “Nice dump honey?” And now I'm left wondering what other idiotic conversations fill the hallowed halls of Fanshawe.

Finally, feel free to drop me an email with any gossip or information you may have…about anyone and everything college related. Staff and student stories welcome.
