The Theos Google Group is Public, Part 1

(10/22/13 3:44am)

Call it UTB After Dark, but we like to get a little naughty when it's late in the evening. Thanks to a savvy tipster, UTB has learned that everyone's favorite ~underground~ frat $tar$ have forgotten to make their listserv group private. We secured the link, blurred out the identifiers, and present them below. Take note: it's pretty expensive to be this eloquent. Click 'em to enlarge 'em.   And one for the road...

12 Ways To Make The Best Of Perelman Money

(02/05/13 8:17pm)

The Perelmans strike again! Ronald Perelman recently made a $25 million dollar donation to create the Ronald O. Perelman Center for Political Science and Economics,  a soon-to-be home for the PolySci and Econ departments. Wo0ho0. Amy G. must be thrilled. But what about the rest of us?  Let's step back and take a glance at where that money could be going: Rename the Medical School again for another $225 million, this time the RON Perelman School. Free shuttle service to DRL. An Italian food food truck (We're talkin’ penne ala vodka, ravioli, chicken parm—the works. WHY DO WE NOT HAVE AN ITALIAN FOOD FOOD TRUCK?) New APES house. We're sure you feel bad they got kicked off of campus, too. A jacket for the copy-of-the-paper girl who thought it was springgtime when she left her room this morning to hand out the DP. Compensation for all the stolen Houston food. Beyonce for Spring Fling. Ke$ha for Spring Fling. Molly included. Shower heads (that don't scream) in the college houses. Balsamic vinaigrette in McClelland -- because nothing is worse than having to put questionable oil and vinegar on your already questionable salad. Computers that only College kids can access. Or Engineering. Or Nursing. A new Math and Physics building that has no association with David Rittenhouse or laboratories. 




12 Best Meal Deals: Fall Finals

(12/06/12 7:15pm)

[Disclaimer: This post was part of our Joke Day series. Didn't the font tip you off?] We all know how the 'Finals' story goes: There once was a glutton who performed gluttony for about two weeks and then got a B-. That being said, campus restaurants capitalize on our gluttonocity by giving us meal deals that just can't be tamed, so our UTB contribz took it upon themselves to seek out the best final exams deals that simply can't be passed up. You're welcome.


Who's Thanking Whom? An Investigative Report

(11/22/12 6:22pm)

Gobble gobble and such, it's Sangskeebing, y'all! We're thankful that it's finally time to put on a nice chunky sweater for granny and shove a Wawa Gobbler down our gullets before waking up at 3 a.m. to grab a "Are you 18+? Then you can Tickle-Me-Elmo" at the local WalMart. Yum-o! But enough about us; what about the rest of campus? We asked some of our favorite people and groups around campus what they were thankful for, and here's what we found:


Pennetration, Edition 8: Wednesday Night

(04/30/12 10:12pm)

When I came to Penn, I thought of myself as a poster child for anonymous hookups. As a naive freshman, nothing seemed better, but the trouble with having a bunch of one-night stands began at my freshman year sorority bid party. I started making out with a good-looking guy. I was confident with him, kind of bitchy; it was hot. He asked me to guess which frat he was in, but I couldn't. “You'll see when we go there,” he said. It wasn't a suggestion or a question—and I liked that, because it was obvious I was going home with him. He was teasing, being kind of an asshole. Exactly what I wanted. He never even asked my name.


A Risqué Turn Of Events: Liquor Store Denied Porn Shop Space

(04/19/12 3:18pm)

Seems as though plans for the new University City liquor store at 43rd and Chestnut–  you'll recall that it's the one that would replace the porn shop– have fallen through. Unfortunately, the Zoning Board rejected the application, which was the second in five years following an unsuccessful attempt in 2007, as the DP reports. Though some small-business owners welcomed the proposed venture, the West Philadelphia Muslim community protested having a liquor store so close to their mosques.
