Hey, That Place Needs A Name!
Like Travis said, the formerly vacant building on the corner near the GW Deli is no longer sad and lonely. It’s got a TV, chairs, free, hangout, candy, carpet: the works, I guess. It looks like it’ll be a nice place to watch people watch you:
- Study
- Bump into — totally out of the blue!!! — that girl/guy from your Contemporary Hunger class you’ve been jonesin’ after & finally make your move or allow her/his to make her/his move or to be informed casually and without regard that no moves will be made because the selfsame girl/guy you’ve been jonesin’ after is asexual/allergic to affection/not attracted to you/really fucking stupid/not that cute up close & smells
- Eat a small meal from the GW Deli
- Juggle one item
- Meet a friend
- Go on craigslist
- Drink coffee and cram for that final you have for your Dissent proseminar
- Think about politics
- Organize your notebooks
- Ask someone to please shut the door because there’s a draft and you have a cold
- Eat a large meal from the GW Deli
- Watch a movie
- Notice your hair’s been doing this weird thing and you can’t get it to just be normal
- Talk to your family
- Talk about your family
- Discuss bureaucratic bullshit with your asshole student org members
- Read
- Juggle two items
- Wonder if sewer systems might become sentient
- Conjecture regarding the current ratsplosion on campus this semester & the reasons it might be occurring (more on this soon)
- Read The Colonialist
That being said, the place doesn’t have a name & a building without a name might as well be an address and some walls.
So! Here are some potential names I thought up:
- Jack and Janessa’s Crabcake Lounge
- The Mary Magdalene
- Glass, Metal, Concrete, Bricks, Wiring
- Corner Building
- DJ’s II: Disinfected
- The Chimney’s Burden
- Titty Jungle
- One Small Step For Flan, One Giant Peep For Easter
- Did You Smell That?
- The Place That Just Opened
- New Student Lounge
- The Octaquad
- Uncle Caligula’s
- The Man Who Had Too Many Open Seats: A Choose Your Own Seatventure Building
- 273 Degrees Studyin’
- Did You Smell That?
- Mechanic Shop
- The Bedroom
- Put Yr Bag Down, Put Yr Feet Up!
- Not Lonely Anymore Spot
- Office of the Veteran’s Memorial Park Ranger
- Zebra Spotting
- Quandaries, Queries, Quizzes, Quorums, & Quyzs’ Simple Hangout Space
- Reserved
What would you call it?

Study Inn. “Wanna go study in Study Inn?” On a similar note, it could be called Awkwardlybeseeninpublictogetherbecausewehookeduponcebutneitherofusreallywantstodatetheother Inn.
*ahem* Awkwardly-be-seen-in-public-together-because-we-hooked-up-once-but-neither-of-us-really-wants-to-date-the-other Inn.
Well here is my suggestion:

I say we call it, FUCK CITY.
52% of the country is single. That’s a market that’s been dominated by apartment rentals. Let’s take some of that market. Let’s call it “Single City.”
It’s, like, “Hey, you want to go down to the whirlpool?” “Yeah, I don’t have a husband.” Maybe we’ll call it, “Swing City.”
But, How do we filter out the teases? We don’t let them in. This goes for the guys, too. Because sometimes the guys are tapped out. But check your lease, man.
Because you’re studying in Fuck City!
It has to be one syllable.
The Pit
The Pog
The Pad
The Plum
It doesn’t have to start with P, but that’s all I could come up with.
What I took from J J Cohen’s comment that led to a link about the space is that…
we should call the space: Bob Jones University
and there should be crappy coffee that nobody cares about the crappiness because it will only cost you “$o.59 to fill up your own mug!”
Let’s call it “Icarus Kitsch is not funny.”
Actually, I think FUCK CITY wins.
Where’d the lighter fluid come from?
I’m pretty sure I saw Colonial Clubhouse written on the side the first day… but that’s not a good name…
whoops, i see i commented prematurely. kirk’s post is the one to post name suggestions. So let me repost my suggestion here:
yeaaaaaaah lick it. lick that chocolate. lick. lick it. liiiiiiiiiiick. lick it. lick it. lick.
