...vanished too, speeding downhill toward a dubious breakfast. A snow rat poked its head out, hoping for a crumb. I broke the park's rules and tossed him a piece of cookie. Feeding anything that lives at this desolate height has to be good karma. So long as you're not offering a deep-fried sandwich...
...disturbingly happy to see what an unsanitary mess William K. Weaver ‘98-’03 had let his room become. Interviewed while attempting to clean relish stains out of his sheets using Febreze, Benstein said, “I thought my own rat-hole was bad, but seeing William’s shit-palace really made me feel better about my own crap-lagoon.” He then started on an effort to clear the newspapers off his futon by igniting a controlled blaze?...

The West Virginia and the California started to explode in a chain reaction.

The Danang People's Committee has launched a campaign urging residents to rat out any panhandlers they see, even setting up a 24-hour telephone hot line for snitching. Drop a dime about a raggedy man begging for change anywhere in the city and gain a reward of 200,000 dong (about $13). "Beggars are impolite, an annoyance to visitors," says Nguyen Hung Hiep, head of the Danang Social Benefit Bureau. "We want to keep our city beautiful and civilized...
