You should have seen the men\u2019s: <\/b>Our October 5, 1992 issue had a letter from Camosun student Shelley Evans bemoaning the state of the women\u2019s bathrooms. \u201cRolls of toilet tissue were strewn haphazardly over the floor leaving nothing resembling paper to be had\u2026 The counters were thick with floating debris and dripping onto a sopping heap of rubbish producing an ever increasing mess of paper mache solution.\u201d Ouch. But she wasn\u2019t done there, ending off by saying this about the bathroom users: \u201cIf this is how they act in a public setting, I\u2019d hate to see what they do in the privacy of their own cave.\u201d<\/p>\n

Denim love blooms:<\/b> Those following the classified-section saga of Levi Guy and L.B. will be happy to know that in this issue, L.B. replied to Levi Guy, saying, \u201cLet\u2019s meet in the caf on Tuesday at lunch. Payment is inevitable\u2014but terms are negotiable.\u201d Oh, my.<\/p>\n

Sugar ain\u2019t so sweet:<\/b> A review of a concert by Vancouver punk heavies Tank Hog, written by Jono McGee (who astute readers will recognize as being the guitarist for Celtic punkers The Real McKenzies), tells the tale of a night that just gets worse and worse. The concert was at the Kaktus Bird Cabaret (today, the building houses Sugar Nightclub), and not only did it start hours late, but rain leaked through the roof onto the stage, almost electrocuting opening band Stone Face. The show was called off early because of the water, not that it mattered: Tank Hog didn\u2019t show up anyway. (Note: this could be a review of any number of early-\u201990s punk rock shows in Victoria.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
