A diamond to negotiators from the University and Dining Services, who reached an agreement on a new contract just before 2 a.m. Thursday morning in a New Dorm conference room. Nothing puts the pressure on like the last call for Jo's fries, eh?
Coal to news of a city law that says residents cannot expect trash removal unless they also put out their recycling. A week after we learned the city is planning a future streetcar system, now this? We know Providence wishes it could be San Francisco, but we can never call ourselves a true Golden Gate City as long as we have that crappy green bridge over India Point.
A cubic zirconium to the pro-Columbus ralliers on Monday, one of whom protested that "American Indians knew not Christianity" before the explorer's arrival. We're glad your opinions have contributed to a lively debate, but we knew not people still talked like that.
Coal to the Sustainable Endowments Institute, which gave Brown an A-minus on its 2010 green report card. You know that just shows up as an A on our transcripts, right?
A diamond to the Brown students who traveled to a marriage equality rally in Washington last weekend, which featured speakers including Lady Gaga. This must have been the greatest equality rally ever! (As long as you don't mind the swarms of papa, papa, papa razzi.)
Coal to DPS for making a clearly erroneous entry in last week's crime log that a cement flower pot found broken had "a value of $500." Either that, or an even bigger coal to whoever is leaving gold-plated, extremely rare Augustan-era flower pots out on Manning Walk.
A diamond to the plucky wide receiver on the football team who kicked the game-winning field goal in the team's victory over Holy Cross. This heartwarming underdog tale has all the makings of a Disney Channel TV movie. (Just throw in a talking golden retriever, maybe.)
A cubic zirconium to the buzz-killing city councilman who told The Herald he was concerned that "word has gotten out" that Elmhurst, the neighborhood around Providence College, is a "party district." Not sure talking to our reporters is going to help that problem, but we appreciate your openness. In other news: party in Elmhurst tonight!
