I just woke up from a KILLER nap after a half day at work - I feel great now! After yeras of not being able to, we here in Flotown had enough snow to make snowballs for a few hours. Snowball fighting is one of few things of snow that cannot be tainted by growing up. So is skitching, but it needs to snow more. Maybe someday I'll get to demonstrate it to everyone here...
In the midwest, they have plenty of snow, so organizing a mass snowball fight is easy, particularly in college. I was in one of probably 500 people back in Oswego when Funnelle Hall unprovokedly attacked it's sister residence hall, Hart Hall, and the great snowball fight of 1991 took place. They have lectures about in New York State History classes in the public schools there. Today, the record for the World's Largest Snowball Fight will be challenged.
Yes, the University of Wisconsin -yes, the same school that had to force it's marching band to stay home for sexual harrassment - will try to break Michigan Technological University's 2006 record of 3,700 combatants today. Thanks to Facebook, organizing the fight has been relatively easy. Unfotunately, other factors have not been so cooperative...
For starters, the guy who organized it didn't realize that Wisconsin had a basketball game against Illinois today at the posted time. Also, it is extremely cold, and worst of all, the snow is not packing well - a major problem with Midwest snow. But, they will be out there anyway, trying to break the record, and thus denying Michiganders of yet another proud mark that thye hold.....
