Okay, we’re over a week late on this update. If this upsets you, you need to re-evaluate your life.
But it’s pretty unfortunate that we decide to take a break when a ton of news happens.
Last Monday, Edinboro graduate Dave Filoni decided to pay us a visit to talk about his work in the animation field. He’s most recognized by…
derp
Ugh. His fedora hat… Come on, man.
Stupid hats aside, it’s pretty cool that a recent Edinboro graduate has his own wikipedia entry. This, however, isn’t as cool:
Filoni’s hobbies include playing ice hockey; he currently plays goaltender. He is also a level 80 Night Elf Hunter in World of Warcraft, a longtime Godzilla fan, and an unofficial Dúnedain.
If YourBoro is ever privileged with a Wikipedia- our entry better not have anything to do with Night Elf Hunters or *shudder* Dunedains.
Regardless, rock on, Dave. I heard the talk was very informative and inspiring.
Chartwell’s actually did something good for Edinboro, for once.
From GoErie:
Chartwells Dining Services, which operates Edinboro University’s Van Houten Dining Hall, donated the ingredients for a complete Thanksgiving dinner to Carey’s family and to 99 other families served by the Edinboro Food Bank.
The company delivered 100 shopping bags — each containing up to a 20-pound frozen turkey plus stuffing mix, canned corn, and fresh green beans, carrots, potatoes and sweet potatoes — to the Meadville Street food bank Tuesday morning.
It’s easy to complain about their overpriced lousy unhealthy food and how having the Chartwells service has screwed over plenty of potentially cool Edinboro events, but you can’t rag on them for what they did for those families. Pretty cool.
Good luck having THIS slogan catch on
The people at Chartwell’s have a website where an animation plays at the begining showing all these fancy pictures of diverse kids growing into diverse adults with the help of Chartwell’s! Nearly every slide has something to do with how healthy their services are. Apples and veggies galore! Great, I think I saw like five people eating fruit at Edinboro once, and everyone else got the cold fried chicken fingers that sat under some stupid lamp for hours, or a hamburger with hair or tape in it or something.
The point is that if Chartwell’s wants to go nutty proving how healthy they are maybe they shouldn’t throw this slogan in.
(This is also from a while ago, much like everything else in this update, but…)
West Liberty and Edinboro collided on the 21st to make some record-breaking scores…
The teams combined for 1,394 yards of total offense, breaking the division record of 1,369 set in Chadron State’s 76-73 triple-overtime win over Abilene Christian on Nov. 23, 2007.
The final score? West Liberty 84, Edinboro 63. That’s a total of 147 points. One hundred and forty seven. We may have lost, but those are solid numbers. I don’t think anything else even needs to be written about that.
These are the kind of numbers that Slamball players dream about! You know, whenever they're not dreaming about being a contributing factor in society.
Now you don’t have to look at the sports section of the Spectator.
Also, a big THANK YOU to Erie Blogs for linking us and the kind words, and all that.
The blog has a young, recent graduate vibe to it, complete with strong community knowledge and the given sarcasm. I think the author, who is unidentified, has potential to be an excellent writer, but often falls into profanity when trying to make his/her point. To me, that’s just a poor excuse to not bring out the thesaurus.
None the less, Your Boro is often up-to-the-minute topical…
Shucks, you guys!
Would it upset you if you found out that this drawing is better than what half of what the graphic design students could do? ... You better sit down.
The article continues:
Blogs like Your Boro are “the future is now” of journalism; hyper-local and relevant. We want to encourage its growth in maturity and professionalism.
Wow, it really looks like we took the wrong week to take off and then write like we’re in middle-school.
Can’t stop imagining this
We’d be a joke if we didn’t mention this:
The driver of the vehicle Domenico J. Crea was passing just before a head-on collision that killed three Edinboro University students will not be charged with any wrongdoing, Erie County District Attorney Jack Daneri said…
…The name of the driver of the vehicle Crea was attempting to pass has not been released. Daneri said he is also an Edinboro University of Pennsylvania student.
Daneri said he and his staff met Friday with the Pennsylvania State Police trooper who investigated the crash and, after hearing the trooper’s findings, determined that the surviving driver’s actions were not criminal.
“The facts are that the surviving driver was within his lane,” Daneri said. “There’s no evidence he was traveling at excessive speeds, no evidence he did anything that would make him culpable. (Domenico Crea) is the one who passed at a high rate of speed.”
Yeah. Whatever.
It’s certainly heartbreaking to check this out on topix.com and see this as the first reply
First comment, Sheldon's aunt Vicki Harmon
If there is any good news in this story, it’s that the “What Would Sheldon Do?” bracelets group on facebook already has over 800 members in a little more than a week.
That’s definitely something to be proud of. Join it and buy some bracelets for yourself and your friends, if you haven’t already.
Hey, fedoras kick ass. They need to make a comeback. I don’t understand why they ever went out of style. There was a time that every respectable man (and unrespectable man) wore one. It sure beats the straight-rimmed hat with the sticker still on it.
i view that last comment as racist!!!!!
well not really i weas just saying that for dramatic effect but baseball caps are more in than vedoras will ever be. guy who wear vedoras are trying to prove something, like their manhood! vedoras serve no purpose. caps keep the sun out of your eyes, skull caps keep your head warm in the winter, sombreros keep speedy gonzales fast as lightning, top hats keep hidden rabbits safe. Vedoras?????? keep your ego up? make you feel like your cool? if your really cool you could be cool with a bald head.
