    I like these. I like em a lot. Maybe my hobby over the last year wasn’t as difficult as I always told myself it was… oh sweet humility.

    You have probably never been drunk dialed then. It’s never happened to me but i would guess that you just block your outgoind caller id and send a text message saying “I’m watching you” -God or sumthing.

    My guess is bernstein wanted to get his edgey swear word in this week and was running out of ideas… the sports one was great tho.

    Vindication! Thanks for the pessimism luke, good to know I’ll always have people to try and impress. And that one was actually written by me too… I thought only having 5 headlines was a little weak, so I padded the field. But I swear all the rest were reader submitted.

    Well…I think whoever submitted the “Awesome Dump” one is either sick in the head or was just scarred by the every-day atrocities of male dormitory life at NCU.

    I like the new addition on the upper right side of the site too:

    THE NORTHERN PLIGHT IS IN NO WAY SANCTIONED OR MAINTAINED BY NORTH CENTRAL UNIVERSITY.

    Beautiful. I’m sure if they could shut it down, they would.

    On the contrary, there are many within the faculty and staff at NCU that enjoy and appreciate TNP. They’ve let us know in emails throughout the year how much they like what we do.

    The disclaimer was added solely for the benefit of someone who might be confused with how blogs work and hold NCU accountable for its content.

    The point of an authentic conversation is to insure no one can control its content. We’ve always encouraged that but before this wasn’t absolutely obvious without clicking our “About Us” page.

    True story . . . it’s happened!

    Oh . . . and the headlines are fairly accurate for satire!

    That list was stellar. “The heart of worship” one was the best by far. Where did you get that picture of the squirrel?

    So was that list the official end of the Plight?
