...through this.” True to this whimsical attitude, the PfoHo House Committee rented out an inflatable moonbounce—just for Pfohosers. “We actually have a bunch of Pfohosers in front with a bouncer list,” Rosenblum said—pun probably intended. However, not all Houses prepared for the big day with such intensity. Leverett House, for one, stuck to the reliable T-shirts and goodie bags with rabbit candies, representing the House’s mascot, according to new Leverett resident Azeemah Kola ’10.

Beck did get something right: The Pudding is vulgar, crass, outlandish, pun-filled, and wrought with sexual innuendo to the point where one more reference to fellatio is like beating a dead horse.

...honest, I have a strong distaste (pun intended) for the recipient of the “HUDSIE Sour Face of Judgment Award.” This young lady has serious issues with how I conduct business in the dining hall. I understand that she has made the personal decision not to eat meat, but is the sour face she makes while she watches me load steaks onto my plate really necessary? Why can’t she just let me eat delicious animals with a clear conscious? Now even when I’m picking out silverware...
