And there we were all in one place, a generation lost in space

I heard "American Pie" on the radio today and it made me wonder... have I got any former TIPsters on my flist?  Me, I did one summer ('96) at the Beaufort marine lab and three summers ('97-'99) at Duke East Campus first term -- two years in The 'Spaugh and one in Brown.  Some of the best times of my life, right there.  Anyone else remember Quadfest?  Wear-a-Skirt Wednesdays*?  Hazing the Pegramites?  Blasting REM (munnuhmunnuhmunnuh Leonard! Bernstein!) and spinning around until you puke?

Dude, that was what college should have been like.  ::sigh::

*Hint: not applicable to girls.  Also, do not lend a skirt to a boy who will look better in it than you do.

I understand that you heard "American Pie" on the radio today. This is all the meaning I can properly extract from your post. Therefore, I suspect my answer to your question is no.

Eh, no worries. It's mostly a southeastern U.S. thing anyway, and from the looks of it, no one else knew what I was talking about, either!

I was not a TIPster, but I did once lend a skirt to a guy and he looked awesome in it and I hated him. lol!

In my defense, I had NO idea the guy had such nice legs before I lent it to him. Never really wanted to wear it much after that...
