Friday 5/23 Commencement Millings

Millting Points: Brown University Class of 2008 Thoughts:

• Four years already? That was fast...I can't even remember Joses's junior year.
• 135 Lloyd: How long before the MillBoard Charts Song of the Day is Flo Rida?
  
• Who's the baccalaureate speaker? Was Claire Huxtable booked this weekend?
• Famous parents tracking: Chris Berman and Dustin Hoffman return!
  
• The two-time Couple of the Year, Herman Hsu and Ling Phoun, are moving on. Which pair will take the title next year?
  

Daily MillStar: A MillCredit goes to my landlord Phil McMaster, who drove Nick to the airport yesterday. Besides that, Phil always tells it like it is and even wishes you luck when you go to parties (...whatever that means).

Daily MillDud: This Commencement MillDud goes to Brown Women (meaning females at Brown and not the hot latinas out there that didn't go to Brown). How in the world are you gonna let Jimmy and Joses go home single?

MillBoard Charts Song of the Day: In honor of the Class of 2008, the song of the day is "Leave the Memories Alone" by Fuel. Even though the repetition of the words "You'll Never Change" is contrary to the spirit of graduating, the song is just too catchy to not be the anthem of this year's graduating classes. This song also served as the retirement anthem for famed professional wrestler Ric Flair.

Milligan: When I was in Kindergarten, I cheated on a test for the very first time. And can you believe that I actually got caught?!? It turns out that I cheated off of some one who would eventually stay back in Kindergarten...bad move. (Disclaimer for the kids out there: Not only is cheating morally wrong...it's also not a fool-proof system...especially if you cheat off fools.)

MillBox:
Question: I know I let you down in Game 1, so I scored 25 points last night. Do you forgive me? ~Walter Ray Allen, Waltham, MA
Miller: Well, RayRay...you didn't win, but I forgive you. I was finally warming up to the idea of never winning on the road to prove everyone wrong, but I'm gonna agree with some of the NBA analysts who say "Maybe losing one at home will finally motivate them to win on the road."

Joses Lucas Ho's HoBag:
Question: Lucas, it must be tough being Joses's identical twin. What do you think of his topless photos on facebook? Do you ever get upset that he's not only flaunting his own body but also an exact replica of your body?
Lucas: What makes you think that my body is as flabby as his?

Jimmy Tull's TuleBag:
Question: What's the stupidest thing you've done in college?
Jimmy: I mean...realistically...it's probably the patented Jimmy Tull "Oh you thought we were dating for the past couple of weeks...not anymore...cuz I'm just gonna ignore you." It's been done three times. Remember 2004?

Millage People Shout-out: I want to give a quick shout out to my Grandpa, who as of Monday morning, is in heaven. Though he had many hopes for me, my only hope for him was that he would indeed go to heaven one day. Of his 89 years on Earth, it took him about 82 before he smartened up and reconciled with God. Since eternal life, by definition, is "knowing the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom He sent," my Grandpa is already moving on to his 8th year of eternal life...but now the suffering is gone.
