Theatre exam done! Psychology in two and a half hours! This punch will help get me in the mood.... 
Sorry to see Fiend go 
I can't understand how one can ban a website from a college. Must be a private school. Why would anyone ban H2G2, anyway?

They probably have some sort of filter running on the college server.
(probably college as in uni., not college as in school)
This will filter out such things as any site with the word 'sex' in it. Also chatrooms, etc. My work does this and I can't even check my personal emails online, as it comes up with 'Denied by Smartfilter for:CHAT', however I have just found a workaround. Unfortunately you can look at a website one week and the next it has been banned!

My University lets me look at H2G2, as well as any site with the word "sex" in it. A ban on the word "sex" would be a funny thing at a University that is known as one of the top medical research facilities in the nation -- I'd think alot of medical sites use the word sex...

True, but it depends on the network administrator, I was only citing an example of what has been done at my place of w***
Each place will be set up differently.
If access is granted to a large body of students, you don't want them filling up the servers cache will lots of porn.
I remember that when I went to Uni., we had so few priveledges on the network because the year before us had hacked into Manchester Uni, in England, and had wreaked havoc!

Well University of Arizona students seem to be allowed to download as much porn as they like...

Hello, and happy trails, Irv. We'll miss you.
*gives box of guitar picks to irv*
A little something to while away the time. If you're not taking your guitar, you can use them as poker chips or something (others can post thier suggestions on how to use them too )
*Scoops deep in the punch bowl.*

I wouldn't *think* of leaving on a trip withtout my guitar! Thank you for the picks (and thank you Fiend for the call smell thing!). Also, thanks Garius for reminding me to pack a deck of cards!

*Appears out of nowhere*
Hey, I heard there was a party with *DOUGHNUTS*!!!
*Notices the slightly unstable expressions on everyone else's faces. Ponders*
Hmmm . . . I was programmed not to get drunk . . . besides, I don't know that these people got drunk here . . . after all, it is a party . . . one glass won't hurt, right?
*Decides to partake of the snacks and perform tricks instead. Munches on a doughnut, and shuffles a ridiculously large deck of cards, while a folding table unfolds from thin air*
Anyone for a game of Double Fanucci? We'll play with the the Revised Miznian Rules, 7th-Level Amendments, with the following exceptions: No side-handling after an underfunded discard, two draws after a Skybreaker, and an extra muttonation if the conditions of Rule 17.4.1.B are met.
*Grins evilly as he shuffles the 174 card deck, waiting for a tipsy party goer to wager too much money*

*Incorrectly assumes this is because his act is funny*
Hey, I've not even started the act yet! I'm serious about Double Fanucci! I spent years learning how to toss cards!
*Picks up the deck of shuffled cards, tosses them through the air, where they form a house*
Oh. Look at that. A perfect model of the Aroma Cafe.
*Tries to gaurd it from anyone who might knock it down, fearing that doing so would crush the people in the Cafe*

*as is usual in these situations, tries not to giggle, but Lil's laughter is, as is usual in these situations, infectious, and starts to giggle uncontrollable, as is usual in these situations, along with laboured points and repitition, repatition, ripi...saying the same thing over and over again!*
*collapses on floor with tears streaming from eyes, holding sides, while convulsing with fits of the giggles*
