Everyone was in a tizzy this week about Georgetown being ranked the 10th-most hipster campus.

Hermione helped us realize what College Magazine meant by “thrift stores”:

They’re talking about Urban Outfitters, right?

Patrick:

Wait, “top-rated student radio station”? Whaza-whaaaa? I did 3 years at WGTB, but “top-rated” was never an adjective that came up.

The beloved Todd Olson defends his hipster cred:

I was into Georgetown before it was cool.

Really isn’t studying with Vox:

“Hariri Building. The hidden gem for on-campus studying.”

Hidden gem? Since when?

And we would like to thank study space commenter @really for being such a diligent Vox reader:

since this article was first written 2 years ago

Hoya thinks this “White Student’s Union” is much ado about nothing:

We already have a White Student Union. It’s called GUSA.

Tim has an idea for the future of the Corp:

Working cameras, pursuing a suspect, and getting a license plate? Sounds like the Corp should run DPS.

Babs isn’t impressed with our expansive bureaucracy:

I think the question should be: do we need a funding board that circumvents access to benefits?

Interrogative delicately poses a question that has been troubling their mind:

What the balls is Page 13?

In response, outraged hurts our feelings:

What they replaced the only good section of The Voice with.

Hoya must think they were protesting for the LULZ:

OWNED! Don’t mess with Egypt.

Steven sees the hero that Georgetown needs:

I’d be more than satisfied with Saferides’ departure if we can continue to rely on Batman’s defense.

Vox is as equally breathless as whoa:

Wow to the Voice for getting quoted on the Guardian!

And our favorite Canadian music legend, Chad Kroeger, returns!:

I want to give a hearty congratulations to my good friend Jackson Perry on his new position as Blog Leader of Men. Jackson and I first met on the Dark Horse Tour when he was a roadie for Breaking Benjamin and I was the lead singer of an internationally-loved band with a strong following from middle-age high school PE teachers. It was a beautiful friendship full of pancakes covered in Canadian love juice (aka maple syrup). We were inseparable, composing stirring ballads and writing A+ reviews for my latest albums. Alas, the world needs Chad Kroeger too much to limit myself to Jackson, so I had to say goodbye and from time to time look at that photograph to stir those old feelings of camaraderie. I needed to bring myself to the world, to inspire Asian people to hold hands and sing platitudes about garbage and people not caring (to understand up-to-the-date Nickelback references, please view this stunning work of art: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj4NVYtzlQA). Good luck to you Jackson, this blog needs a hero to save it, and I know you won’t stand there and wait. Meanwhile, I will continue to save this world through my poetry. See you in Detroit!

-Chad

PS Nickelback’s latest album, Here and Now, is here and now. Go get it! Now! Nickelback Monday!

Rock on, Chad. Rock on.

Are they serious? makes a comparison I can’t particularly disagree with:

Admirable post from JA, but there is no point in being thoughtful and constructive at this point. Waste of time. Neighbors will stake our most extreme position possible and then refuse to retreat. They are like congressional republicans.

C.H. responds to some Occupy D.C. haters in the comments section:

Some of these comments make me ashamed to be a Georgetown student. Many of you are proof of that our country’s leaders and (unfortunately) future leaders are totally morally bankrupt. Work hard! Get that internship! But whatever you do, don’t think about all those poor and unemployed people protesting around you.

And UNDERGOD is ready to tango with our new editor:

ONE NATION ABOVE UNDERGOD.

I AM YOUR NEW VOX-TROLLING UNDERLORD.

Who do you know here? is counting:

This is the second time the Voice has misspelled Healy.

JS wasn’t pleased with the roundtable discussion:

When I think of major issues Georgetown is facing, cement walls generally jump to the front of the list…

Did no one ask the Registrar why his department opposes centralized space booking?

One commenter derides the legitimacy of our Halloween costume contest:

one kid’s a junior and another doesn’t even go here.

Well played.

Bummer did some journalism of his/her own, investigating Lenore Rubino’s announcement to retire:

When reached for comment, Ms. Rubino said she was looking forward to spending more time opposing her family.

Lenore Rubino, Friend, Neighbor, Realtor has a nice property:

FOR SALE… ONE PRESIDENCY OF LOCAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ASSOCIATION… GORGEOUS VIEW OF HISTORIC (EST. 1789) BLIGHT ON NEIGHBORHOOD… LOVELY AMBIENCE WHEN NOT FULL OF ELDERLY ANGRY MOBS ANGRILY SHOUTING AT 18-22 YEAR OLDS… MUST SELL ASAP, OR ADJACENT EVIL INSTITUTION OF HIGHER EDUCATION WILL SUCCEED IN PASSING MODEST CHANGES TO TEN-YEAR PLAN… GRANITE COUNTER-TOPS… CONTACT COLDWELL BANKER PREVIEWS INTERNATIONAL FOR MORE INFORMATION

student is not so happy with the changes at Leo’s:

“Many stations at Leo’s are no longer serve-yourself for portion control. Also, because the “teammembers” like interacting with students.”

This is so ridiculous. It’s not like there’s a huge obesity problem on this campus – not to mention that we’re a prestigious university full of intelligent adults who are probably capable of controlling their own portions. It’s not the dining hall’s place to regulate how much we eat.

And frankly, I don’t care if the “teammembers” like interacting with students, if it means that we as paying customers have to wait in outrageously long lines for mediocre food.

Not a Belieber puts in a strong submission to our photoshop contest:

Abroad has a point:

So..what are they going to talk about how Georgetown teaches practically every major language in the world other than Hindi?

Vox Pupuli erupted in puns, starting with commenter puppies:

101 laumations

Celebration Foursquare Church needs a divine grammar intervention:

We absolutely enjoyed your posting. It is important to maintain a seperation of gender in the dorms as coed dorms and the abuse of alcohol promotes inappropriate behavior. Lets keep it clean. Lets keep it God Honoring.

At least Steven likes Vox Pupuli:

SUCH CUTESIE WOOTSIE DOGGIE WOGGIES

And Not Proud Burleither wants to renew mole people talks for Georgetown:

I think they should simply put the entire university underground. This will ensure that I have absolutely no human interaction throughout the year.

The gas leak around Maguire has JustSaying suspicious:

Healy Pub Liberation Front?

The battle over the legitimacy of Vox Pupuli continues, but is properly identified by Circular Posting:

Reading the argument about the value of this feature is like watching one of the Vox Pupuli chase its tail: entirely adorable.

boswell proposes some economics

coincidence that taxes and poverty keep going up up and up?

…And quickly gets shut down by Moose:

coincidence that ceo’s salaries and poverty keep going up up and up?
coincidence that the Georgetown tuition and poverty keep going up up and up?

All I have to say is sun goes up, sun goes down, you can’t explain that.
