Help!
| The cover of my comic novel is being prepared, and I need some help. The concept is a dormroom door. Here's my question: what is the funniest stuff that you have seen on a dorm door? Vandalized pictures, flyers, stuff written on white boards--what? My editor said she once saw a piece of pizza stuck on one. Current students/recent grads, now's your time to show how thoroughly degenerate your university is. Thoughts? Katie, Jack, Mollie, Larry: you must reply or face immediate disinheritance. (My football cards are probably worth something.) |

post a commentI've only once lived in a dorm, and that was for a week, and there was nothing on the dorm.
But don't take inspiration from real life. But something ridiculously bizarre on it. Like used toilet paper, or a toilet, or a picture of a giant, red, four-eyed figure labelled "this is my god" something. You want to be as offensive and "incorrect" as possible, right?
Well, a certain guy named, let's call him Schmalex Schmagosti, decided that the four of us were, for some reason, "frigid." would leave us notes on the dry-erase board that said things like "FRIGID WOMEN LIVE HERE."
The funniest thing I ever came upon was one of those "I Break For Coffee" bumper stickers that they were giving out that year that he had altered and stuck on our door (and that was some strong adhesive; it stayed up there until June). He had operated on it so it now read "I Break For Gelid Babes." I still crack up whenever I picture it.
The second funniest thing I saw that year was a note Roy left that said "Dave, your wife called," but since that was only factual, it's not as funny.
How about a broken wand taped to the door with a note that says "Hey Barry, found this in my ass the other day, need it back?"
Well, call me a recently-turned-18-year-old-who-is-too-s/mothered-to-be-trusted-living-in-a-college-environment (my mother does) but I have no idea what sort of crapola gets stuck on dorm room doors.
But I'll try...
*A road sign that reads 'CAUTION: tar road ahead, next 5000 miles.'
*A 'baby change table equipped' sign.
*A messageboard like the one Lon and Hafwid had, being used by two people arguing whether Hilary Duff or Avril Lavigne is cooler. At the bottom is a third person writing 'Remind Dave to take those pills for his split-personality.'
* A shopping list that goes from everyday items into obscure S&M paraphernalia.
*A single footprint at the top of the door.
*A sign displaying hours of business.
*A room number that spells a crude word.
