Show Yes Virginia, there is a Lagoon day by Mike Whitney Fun and Games Editor Hey kids, Friday is Lagoon day! Wheeeeee, doesn't that sound like fun? Just think, all you fun-loving students and faculty members can trip on out to ol' Lagoon and not even have to pay 50 cents to park. Besides that, you get to swim, go to a stomp and listen to live music (at 8 p.m.) for free. The amusement park fairy also informs me that there will be reduced re-duced rates on food, rides and all concessions. If the great rain god doesn't send down another cloud burst, you will all get to do the things you have waited patiently all year to do: take all the skin off your elbows on the giant slide in the fun house, dislocate your shoulder throwing baseballs at milk bottles, get a whiplash injury driving the dodge cars and throw up in the hammer. How could you ask for more? And while you're there, don't forget to buy a pornographic post card in the penny arcade, hold up your hands and scream when you ride the roller coaster and, make obscene- faces in the fun house mirrors. You should also plan on going out early enough to get a sun burn (without which no Lagoon trip is complete), eat enough hot dogs and cotton candy to warp your digestive system for life and wear at least two blisters on your feet from walking around. Why the list of fun things that you can do on Lagoon day is almost al-most endless. And the beauty of it all is that it probably won't cost you over 20 or 30 dollars (unless you take a date of course), and if you survive it all this year you can go back and do it all over again next year. s j ill, ---- m y Typical fun seekers get a gas out of raceway cars at Lagoon, which will be the scene of further frivolity on University Lagoon Day. |
