December 2003 BOTM

December.  Month of Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Generic Holiday Tradition, and other excuses to get together with friends and trade presents and get cool stuff from your folks.  Like the laundry you left behind at Thanksgiving.  EAT THE TURKEY !!

            Oh, there's also a new Bitch of the Month.  And exams, but no one likes exams.  

            The Bitch award this month is not awarded to a current student of Goucher.  Oh no, just like the Ghost of Christmas Past this person shows up at random and potentially inconvenient times to harass people he hasn't seen in a while.  When he's not around, this Bitch does things like get into car accidents - when he's not even in his car!

            He also professes to be a foil fencer who uses USFA-issued nomex flight gloves to fence with until a certain other former Goucher student who can't fence foil right to save anyone's life whacks him on the knuckles.  But then, this month's Bitch collects guns.  He doesn't use them on the fencing strip, which is good because that would really be cheating.  Or it could be like Indiana Jones in the Cairo marketplace, when that big Arab dude had the huge sword and Indy just shot his ass.  Okay, so Indy didn't shoot his ASS but he did shoot the guy.  Which the guy obviously deserved since he was trying to fight the good guy in the movie.  Silly Arab person. 

            We don't have any silly Arab people at fencing that the BOTM committee knows of.  If there are, we ask that they please keep their silly big swords and fighting good guy natures to themselves since blood is messy to clean up and no one wants a murder rap hanging over their heads.  

            This Month's Bitch also used to have a Tomato-red-orange Amigo.  That's a truck-ish sort of vehicle, not an invisible friend who was both spanish and a tomato.  That would be really silly.  But then, we always had fun teasing the Bitch about his Amigo to the point where he tried to run Mother Becky over with it.  That maybe wasn't so funny, but we of the BOTM committee who are volunteers laughed.

            The Amigo went away and was replaced by a cool blue SUV.  But that got wrecked in the snow, so he got another one.  And then THAT one got wrecked too.  So he got another one, which has so far survived even though it ran out of gas once.  Maybe it doesn't have a reserve light on the SUV, but it looks cool enough to have one of those too.  

            Anyway, the Bitch has an open invitation to attend Goucher fencing, and most everyone even likes him.  But he rarely shows up, usually because he's "tired" after "work" or something silly like that.  Recently, we hear he's found a Significant Other so we guess he has a good reason not to show up at fencing.  But certain of the BOTM committee have invited said Significant Other as well, so maybe he doesn't have such a good reason anymore.

Without Further ado, the Bitch of December is....
