teaching pigeons and phallic imagery

Nothing too eventful today... just two random guys wrestling in front of RVC (our dorm) and a girl playing with a pigeon, "teaching it how to pivot." Mid-wrestle, one of the guys said "yo is that girl still playing with that pigeon?" The girl replied, "she needs to learn how to pivot, I'm just helping her learn a lesson."

... Seriously, I couldn't make this up if I tried.



For our GHUM class, we are required to go see a few of the shows at Montreal's Fringe Festival. A fringe festival is essentially the borderline cool slash sketchy shows that are not mainstream but either could possibly be with some support, or will never be just because they're so strange, but they have a tiny following who insisted that they be included.
Melissa looked on the schedule for us and found one that she assumed would be entertaining. What title could possibly make her think that? "Pretending Things are a Cock." Again, I really couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.

Essentially, this guy went around the world for 4 years and took pictures of things that resembled... other things. The show was a mixture of photography, story-telling, and comedy, and though this was probably borderline sketchy, I enjoyed it. He had a cool way of presenting his stories and you could tell it meant a lot to him. I'm not quite sure why, but to each his own. We insisted on getting a group picture with him making his classic face. He's the one in the tie.
