I have heard everything from roommate arguments and phone flirtation to impromptu shower a cappella and furniture construction.

This fall, the Yard has been full of fun: an impromptu slip-and-slide, nightly showings of a midnight marauder (the 11:50 man), and bizarrely competitive bean bag throwing contests.
