Rhode Island Terms
I am a native Rhode Islander and recently I have noticed that a lot of out-of-staters are unfamiliar with certain terms. If you go to URI, you gotta have the right vocabulary. So here you go:
- cocked (adj.)- drunk, wasted, hammered, belligerent
- geeking out (v.)- laughing loudly and uncontrollably
- zooted (adj.)- high as FUCK (it’s debated that it’s from somewhere else, but fuck no)
- cabinet (n.) – MILKSHAKE, FOOL
- dough boy (n.) – fried dough. Now go get one at Iggy’s in Narragansett.
Wanna Know What Grinds My Gears?
Wanna know what really grinds my gears? Rhode Island drivers. Now, I know my team and I have blogged about this countless times, but this is different. When you drive in the snow, you have to put your fucking headlights on. When the snow is blinding and you are driving your silver or white sedan down the street, how am I supposed to see you? You know in some states, its a fucking law!? Just do your part to make the roads safer and turn on your damn headlights!
PS:
RIPTA Is Great
A lot of people are scared of RIPTA buses, but really the RIPTA is just like college. There’s an excellent chance of the person next to you being drunk, and there’s always a slight suspicion that someone has peed in the corner. I rode the RIPTA home today and this is what I saw:
- A man pouring a Gansett into a Dunkin Donuts cup for covert drinking (gimme one)
- A hypodermic needle on the floor!
- A girl who smuggled her pet rat onto the bus
What’s not to love! Take the RIPTA. Embrace the sketchy.
Marriage Equality Passes in Rhode Island
I am sure you have all heard the news already that marriage equality passed in the state of Rhode Island but this is blog worthy material. As much as I despise Libtards and tree hugging hippies, I fully believe in marriage equality. If 2 human beings are in love, it is their damn right to get married no matter what sex they are or preference. Congrats to everyone in Rhode Island which this law effects and go live a long a prosperous life. Lets just hope Senate also agrees.
P.S. No, I am not gay, I just believe in equal rights and freedoms.
School Canceled Tomorrow!
In case you haven’t noticed, its blizzarding outside. As if Rhode Island drivers needed any more impairment…
URI Photographer!
Only a fantastic photographer could make Fayeweather look like an appealing place to live. I was scrolling through Facebook today and came across Dario Rodriguez, a URI student and bomb photographer! The pictures he takes on URI campus are sick and make me even more proud to be a student here. I’m tempted to frame one and give it to my roommate for Christmas. Check his photos out on Facebook!
RI Cop Makes Hooligans Do Pushups
Source- The push-ups given as instant punishment to a group of juveniles by four Rhode Island police officers for vandalizing mailboxes have become a controversial issue which could result to the suspension of the officers involved. According to officials, the incident started when a woman reported on 911 Friday that her mailbox had been ruined, and officers witnessed a car full of teenagers doing the act.
So this story has been making the rounds today. I figured I’d post it because it happened in RI. To be honest, I’m not sure how I feel about this story. On one hand, the police don’t have the right to make these kids do pushups. On the other hand, these snot-nosed fuck-wads deserved to be punished. But are pushups really the best punishment? I think not. Pushups are way too easy and easily forgettable. These would be way better suited punishments:
- A Dan Hurley workout. There’s a reason why our basketball team is the best conditioned in the country.
- Force the kids to use Windows Vista for the next year.
- Trade in their iPhones (we can assume, right?) for Motorola Razer flip phones
- Force the kids to have mullets
- Replace their music library with only Nickleback and Kenny G Albums
- Force the kids to root for the URI football team and the Jets
Another Bad Weather Rant
Rhode Island weather can suck my left nut. I check the weather every morning before I go out so I know how to be dressed appropriately. It says “snow.” What do we get? Fucking wet rain. Cue Forrest Gump:
