Sugar

[quislibet]

In the School of Theology lounge down the hall (some of you will know it as "that vampire conclave place" -- I'm just helping set the scene; mentally delete the the vampires) I just heard a TA and a student not-quite-arguing in a passive/aggressive way about an essay of the student's, neither of them quite willing to come out and say they thought the other was wrong.

I wonder why the coffee set-up in said lounge never has any sugar. Plenty of Sweet-n-Low and Equal, but no sugar. Surely theology students are allowed sugar.

I just wanted a little sugar; is that too much to ask?

you're talking about BU School of Theology, right? I've been there, myself...

That's the place. I'm in the Classics dept. in the same building.

(Many years ago the campus Vampire LARP group used to have monthly games here, which was fine so long as we were here on Saturdays when no one else was around. Then one day, for reasons that now escape me, we had the game on a Friday evening, and the Dean of the School of Theology, leaving his office around 6 or 7 pm, saw some idiot wandering around covered in fake blood and carrying a claw hammer, and so the following month we were in a less holy building.)

that REALLY makes me laugh! A old prof-friend of mine teaches Dante at the School of Theology. I also was involved in setting up the Faith and Film Festival there a few years ago.

yeah, I can see the dean getting a little troubled by that. the place is cavernous enough...

we have no sugar here for our coffee either. in fact, i'm ordering some from staples today, just to make a point!

And a chorus of theology students cry out "Jesus, if you love me, where's the sugar?"
