Welcome to the New Blog

Well, if you weren't sure, you are at a little blog started by a few BYU students. Our idea here is simple. We wanted a repository to store our observances of the strange things people do around here. Or anywhere really, but being as we reside in Utah Valley, I can only imagine most of the strange people we see will be around these parts.

Like these kids:

If you can't tell, these three are playing a first-person shooter, presumably against each other, in the LRC. Thats Learning Resource Center, for those of you not hip with BYU (sorry, Brigham Young University) lingo. It's in the library. And the one on the far right, the girl, just had a conversation with what could only have been her husband or very close boyfriend.

Let's recap. Three students, one of them a girl (already spoken for) playing a run-around-and-blow-each-other-to-smithereens game, in the Learning Resource Center of the Harold B. Lee Library. And I felt frivolous for blogging from here.

Don't get me wrong. I think those games are great fun. But isn't there a time and place for everything, and maybe this isn't the best setting? Just a thought.

Or how about this group, spotted by D. Smith:

In the time between my finance and bowling classes I discovered a new spectator sport...beginning country dance.

Nothing serves as better awkwardness magnifier than a loud, techno, remix of the song "Cotton-Eye-Joe."
From my brief observation I've noticed one move executed by most of the students was the "nonchalant check for pit stain move." This move consists loosely of; sneaking a quick peak at your sweaty pits or while your partner is looking elsewhere, or on one of the moves where you lift your arms.
All jokes aside, they look like they're having fun being physically close with members of the opposite sex, which, after all, is the real point of that class.

That is just a sampling. If you happen to see anything blog-worthy in the arena of people watching, especially from Happy Valley, just send it on our way. Pictures are a must (I know you have a camera-phone) and any necessary background on the subject helps as well. We'll post it right here.
