“Crossroads Dinor, 101 W. Plum St., Edinboro. (Old food residue, dishes or utensils found in hand-washing sink at bar; soap not available at hand-washing sink at bar; no single-use towels at hand-washing sink at bar; raw chicken stored above container of pickles in basement cooler; black residue and pink slime found on interior of ice-machine bin; food debris built up on blade of can opener.) Also 9 noncritical violations. Wednesday.”
First off:
“Black residue” and “pink slime” are the most technical terms health inspectors could come up with for the disgusting goo that the Dinor keeps your food in.
Secondly:
9Other non-critical violations. What the hell is going on there?
Wasn’t the Dinor supposed to be half-decent now that new owners took it over? What is going on here?
Coming to a Louis C. Cole auditorium near you: Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood!
Let’s pray to God they don’t do a fucking “hoe down“.
Colin Mochrie is a pretty funny guy- but I’m not sure anyone was ever a fan of Brad Sherwood. If only we could have gotten Ryan Stiles to perform with him, instead.
Hey, baby.
Oh well, you win some you lose some.
Here’s some information about where to get tickets, etc:

We haven’t done a “Pretty Important Thing” in a while. So here you guys go, a well deserved “Pretty Important Person”, instead!
Internet superstar “Spricket24″!
Spricket’s real name is Karen Alloy. You might not know her, but she has a hundred thousand youtube subscribers.
Yeah, yeah. So?
Well, Karen Alloy is related to Edinboro University- in a way.
She is Frank Taylor’s daughter. It’s clear to see, too. Much like Frank, she’s a really nice person, funny, and an incredible speaker! Looks like hundreds of thousands of people have realized this, too!
Well, unfortunately (or fortunately, as Karen explains in this video..), she just found out yesterday about her father passing away several months ago. It’s a very touching video, and we here at YourBoro hope everything turns out OK for her. It’s a very interesting situation, as you’ll find out.
She later says in the video that she’ll be visiting Edinboro soon, and hopefully producing some videos for us to watch. We’ll keep you updated, if you don’t subscribe yourself.
It’s nostalgia time! Inspired by the recent closing of Geocities.com, we reckon it’s time to look at the roots of Edinboro internet history. I think it’s appropriate that we start off this (hopefully) long-running series by pitting two Edinboro bigshot websites against each other
Round 1:
1998:
Edinboro.com
Edinboro.edu
Edinboro.com comes out swingin’ with completely irrelevant sheet music and ducks in a canoe during round one. For 1998, theres a beautiful use of tables, here. Not to mention an advertisement for muffins. Our first generic trophy clip-art goes to Edinboro.com, beating .edu by flying colors!
You lose. What the hell were you thinking? I guess back in 1998, educational websites still tried to look professional and boring- as opposed to the FUN Edinboro.edu we get today!
1999:
Edinboro.com
Edinboro.edu
BAM! Whats the first thing you see when you enter Edinboro.com? Damn right, an animated gif. Shit, they’re even giving out BEANIE BABIES! I’m sorry, Edinboro.edu, but you lose double hard because of your complete lack of effort. Thus giving Edinboro.com THREE total trophies, because I feel like it.
Here comes Edinboro.edu, just plain ole not giving a shit. Some fatcat sitting behind his computer must have been chomping down on a cigar shaking his head: “This ‘internet’ thing will NEVER catch on.”
2000/2001:
Edinboro.com
Edinboro.edu
The always evolving Edinboro.com has now found out how to make a sidebar with tables efficiently. Despite this being the year 2000, there are *gasp* NO FRAMES!!Not only that, but they offer FREE American Flag graphics! Hot damn! Edinboro.com was always ahead of it’s time. Thusly, we give it nine extra trophies.
Edinboro.edu must have sucked SO hard during this time period that archive.org shrugged it off “just fuck it. Who cares anymore.”.It’s their JOB, people.
2002:
Edinboro.com
Edinboro.edu
Upgraded to a three-column layout, now- Edinboro.com is REALLY ontop of things. From the looks of it, 2002 was it’s heyday and you can go back through their almost daily updates on the archive and see some great news. Plus they even got a new logo. Look at this fucking shit: Awesome. Rock on. You get another trophy for this.
*sigh* Oooh great. Someone in the media department finally found out what “graphics” were when they downloaded Paint Shop Pro 6. Easy on the randomly placed circles, guys. What IS this? Who approved this in the design department?
2003 and 2004 are also not recorded for Edinboro.edu. I can sum it up for you, though: Edinboro.edu continued to look like garbage until this year. When it looked like garbage even more, and is extremely hard to navigate. Not that it matters- students only goto blackboard or SCOTS, and half of them have to use the searchbar in the top right corner. The two (or three counting webmail) things that students most frequently use are HIDDEN in this website, through multiple pages. Way to go Edinboro University. If you had ANY clipart trophies, they would be taken away because of this alone.
Edinboro.com was eventually sold (or something, the owner talked about it in a comment here a few weeks back) and moved to http://www.edinboroweb.com/. It’s obviously not the same anymore, which is a bit sad. But regardless, they get the win here.
