You have all been pawns in our grand social experiment. Colin posted the link to this blog on my facebook wall, not as a status update. Now, this means that anyone who read the blog was creeping our conversations. You are all disgusting. Literally, I just vomited.
But seriously though, thank you for frequenting our small, but ever expanding corner of the blogosphere. We hope to continue entertaining you with our verbal prowess and discussions of (our) interesting social quirks. We shall post indefinitely - in fact, until the internet is outlawed forever, we will post. We will never give up.
Mostly this blog is an outlet for our over-stimulated brains. School is winding up and we would rather think about anything other than ancient Greco-Roman religion. It's quite boring. So sorry about the randomness of all of this.

Now for our first topical post.
We want to discuss a major flaw in the cultural fabric of todays male dominated society. There is major inequality when it comes to this one area of social interaction in colleges and universities. As men, when we do not know the given names of other men, we can avoid the awkward social interchange where we must inquire of their names, when we should really already know it. For example, a simple "bud", "dude", or "man", can be used instead of the individual's unknown name.
This unsettling interaction of which we speak can only be employed when the individual whose name is unknown is a male. This makes friendship between females harder to come by* because they do not have an appropriate unfamiliar pronoun such as is utilized by males.
The exception that proves the rule is the phrase "hey girl," especially when said in a so-called "inner city," or "hood," dialect.
This realization has brought us to a question of how we can further gender equality. To do this, we must attempt to find an appropriate unfamiliar pronoun which can be employed by women.
Here is out list, so far useless:
-heeey lady
-woman
-girl
-lass
-sister (sista)
-dudette
-baroness
-dame
*We have done no actual research, so please don't take us seriously. Seriously.
