An Ode to Maggie O'Brien

Miss u sometimes Maggie O.  Miss ur chill ~nonexistant~ vibes.  Kinda miss those days when seeing the President was a rare event that few got to experience.  Now any bro can chill with the Prez at his open hours, or do something dumb like invite Leslie and he over for dinner in their townhouse.

Missu wine producing prez.  Miss ur wine that apparently was not very good and given out to underage students on the reg.  Most of all, miss u RPG (EDIT: Apparently "it's a large flashlight with a scope made from spare plumbing equipment you dolt" [SUPER-EDIT: It's definitely something military related]) holding prez (see below).


Where is the wine and guns Urgo???  Can we really trust a President that doesn't have wine and guns???  Isn't the liberal arts education/Faulkner all about wine and guns???

Wonder what she is up to now?  I think she is chillin over in Oxford via heading the Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies.  I remember this annoyed some facultybros, not sure what the current situation is though.

Apparently everyone was into her for the first half of her being here (via honeymoon syndrome).  Also she really changed the ~vibes~ of the school into being more srs and academic (apparently) which is cool I guess.  Also she was a really good fundraiser, which is probs why she was never around.

I think ultimately, (13) thirteen years is too long for any prez to be around.  Maybe there should be a limit of like a decade or so.  People get burnt out, stop caring as much, etc.  But I dunno.

missu bb.

  1. I don't know if her wine was any good, but her grapes let Woodhall Winery (i.e. Ben Lang) make what they considered to be some of their best ever!

    1. Frank is going to grad school because he is one of the few people that can actually use i.e. correctly.

  2. this bitch was paid more than the president of the united states and she was a shitty, corrupt leader.

    also, that's not an rpg, it's a large flashlight with a scope made from spare plumbing equipment you dolt

  3. Actually is her with some kind of DoD weaponry mockup at a trade show thing. Remember seeing the pic on defense.gov sometime circa 2008/9. Can't find it now, and don't particularly feel like digging to deep. Legit, though.

    1. I believe it is still the desktop image for multiple TPN computers.

  5. Her last few years of ineptitude vastly outweighed any good she did at the beginning of her term.

    Rumor has it the BoD paid out a lot of money to get out of the contract that she created for herself over at Oxford.

  6. We don't even have a "BoD", it's a Board of Trustees... but yes, I'm pretty sure that rumor is true.

  7. You are one of the only douchebags I know who uses 'via' and 'i.e.' appropriately. Ergo, I grudgingly hate you. I have only broken two rules of 'legitimate' English in saying so. Props to whoever spots them. Or whomever? THE MYSTERY THICKENS!

  8. Maggie threatened to fire faculty members for expressing dissenting opinion regarding her paycheck. Massive power trip.
