Gongshow/ Heights Coincidence??

Today, while perusing The Heights, our favorite BC newspaper, we were dismayed to find glaring similarities between past gongshow@BC discussions and the most recent "Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down" (pg. A7, The Heights, Nov. 21) opinion column. As our readers certainly remember, we brought to light the story behind the "Smelly Quad" in our November 2nd entry. We also commented on the problems created by cash-paying diners in Hillside, a process which holds up the line and creates humongous traffic jams. Coincidentally, The Heights managed to cover both these topics today, in a very similar fashion to how we did it, in their Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down column. Do great minds think alike or have we uncovered the biggest scandal in journalism since the Jayson Blair / New York Times fiasco?
Here at gongshow@BC, journalistic integrity is of utmost importance. We figure that if we aren't putting our own thoughts out there, in our own way, then we have nothing. We are proud of our work, and it tickles us to think that we are nearing the 11,000 Hit mark. But if The Heights is going to start pulling ideas from the gongshow@BC, we are going to expect a little love from The Heights and some proper citation. As soon as Monday's Heights came out, dozens of gongshow@BC fans were calling us after noticing the similarities. Now we don't want to start throwing the P-word around, but we really hope this doesn't happen again. Talk about bush league.

News from the "Smelly Quad"- Now as if things in the Quad weren't smelly enough already, we have observed several elderly women harvesting the Ginkgo Biloba berries from the grass under the tree. We reckon that these farmers from the Far East are using the berries, which are widely known to benefit brain functions and circulatory health, for holistic purposes, Chinese gingko recipes, and for relieving the vicious aftermath of an evening of Sake Bombing. If you see these amateur harvesters, give them a hand and throw some Ginkgo three-pointers into their baskets.

Big Ups: *We want to recognize one of the most familiar faces on campus- Can Lady aka The Canimal. This Weekend Warrior can be seen poking around the Mods, collecting beer cans and throwing Ginkgo berries at unsuspecting froshy vixens. Godspeed, Canimal. *Chris Collins deserves a pat on the bum for his DIRTY snipage in this weekend's hockey win vs. Northeastern. Although the backhand toe-drag has never been successful on Pearcey in practice, BC's leading scorer aka Mr. BoDangles came through with the game-winner. *Craig Smith aka Mista Smiff aka Get 'Em Craaaig, BC's baddest baller who just recently got his braces off (watch out vixens!), just turned 22 and is now rollin' on dub twoz. CHEA! *The Miami Footballers who released the most popular football song (this song is rated R for adult language) since The Super Bowl Shuffle. Rumor has it that this is the new Miami Fight Song.
