DuReturn of DuSex in DuWindows of DuBois
We're going to level with ya-- we didn't expect this to be a recurring post, either. Sure there were the preliminary sexcapades. Ha-ha, naked people, back to work. Then Ms. Trish decided to issue an Advisory Email that called us names. We ran with it. But now? Again? You DuBoisites must be exceedingly horny / very afraid of window coverings. You do you, DuBois!

Freshman Makes Election Video, Twerks
Ever since the dawn of time, freshmen have been getting freaky with iMovie to say inconclusive things and win your vote. It's a delightful non-surprise every fall. It tastes like a Pumpkin Spice Latte and smells like crunchy leaves.
Campus Elevator Drops [It] Like It's Hot
Last night an elevator full of new Sirens (the lady Glee) stopped in the Sansom West lobby. Then it began to slowly sink. Then it PLUMMETED to the basement---(Pause. Deep breaths. Use inhaler if necessary.) Luckily nobody was seriously injured, and after being rescued by some yummy firefighters the girls went on with initiation as planned.

DuBacklash to DuNudity at DuBois
Notoriously strict DuBois house dean Ms. Trish saw our post about these body-bumpin' Quakers lettin' it all hang out a few nights ago. Just like their mothers would be, Ms. Trish was miffed at the brazen display of human skin to the Walnut Street commercial corridor. She sent out the following house email as a point of caution: Don't worry, readers--even though we are a 'lesser-known publication,' we would like to assure you that 'your business' is our business. Curtains are just symbols of the institutional suppression of natural sexuality, and Tap House is as good a place as any to watch people doin' it.
Dubois and Dugirls, Doin' It.
Thanks to a Tap House tipster, UTB has secured some blurry but implicitly racy photos of a couple who eschewed curtains in their late-night romp in Dubois. Let this be a lesson to you all: next time you get physical, try not to get visible.

Subway Opening Next To Nara
You know the old adage: when one beloved local sandwich place closes, another mega-chain-more-ubiquitous-than-the-actual-public-transit-for-which-it-is-named opens its doors. Spotted on 40th and Spruce yesterday, this peely notice announces that everyone's favorite repository for 5 dollar foot longs is moving into the neighborhood.
Filly Friday
If you're in Philly then you're probably soaked right now, be it from the torrential downpour or the Life-Post-Don-Memo-and-Lee's tears. It's First Friday, if you're into that, but maybe take the night off. For tomorrow...
