Lex and the City: Merry Christmas
We here at Lex and the City couldn’t let this glorious day pass without giving you all a wonderful little Christmas gift. So here it is… the answer to the Lexington Blind Item two weeks ago (click here to refresh those gin soaked memories).
So which faculty member is ALLEGEDLY accepting the prize for biggest scandal 2010? If you’re expecting a name and tawdry details, I’m...
Lex and the City: The Office
Hello Lexers. I hope everyone is having a happy happy holiday. (In the war between Holidays and Christmas, I’m going with Holidays. I’m not trying to be accused of ethnic insensitivity.) And alas, I was going to take some time off and come back in January with a strong last term worth of relationship advice. However, it was when my friend and I realized that in 6 short months, we’d be (fingers...
Lexicon of the Week: Colonnade Club
Colonnade Club: A society of people who accomplish the task of hooking up in every building on the Colonnade. Though admirable, does not include hook ups in the Science Building, Library, J-School and Commons.
Etymology: From the root word Colon, not as in bowel, but referring to how the ancient Greeks pronounced Column. Refers to the columnus architecture of the university’s main...
Weekend To-Do List: F. Your GPA
Sure Fire Stop: Fuck Your GPA (Pardon my French). I’m going to be honest for a second folks, I really shouldn’t go to F Your GPA this Saturday. I’m already behind on my projected work schedule and to recoup I’ll be, in essence, cramming for the rest of exam week in an attempt to not actually F My GPA. But no test or paper will keep me from the last shit show of the year and...

– The plus side? DRINKING and driving in Lexington is going down…
On the Scene
What You Wasted While You Were Wasted: Now I love a good eyesore in social protest as much as, if not more than, the next guy. But members of SEAL, I have a problem with this inverted landfill and it isn’t the fact that it musts up half of my commute on my way to the hill. No, Lexers, my troubles with this protest are purely with the penmanship. Come on, SEAL. Those signs, albeit effective...
Lexicon of the Week: Pre-Lubed
Pre-Lubed: The act of lubricating oneself before going out in an attempt to save time later. Usually falls into the “getting ready” process after showering but before brushing one’s teeth. Sometimes involves scented Astroglide. People who pre-lube are usually uptight, promiscuous and generally douchey.
Etymology: From the root word lubricus which is Latin for Lubricant. The...

– Another fun night in Graham Lees?
Weekend To-Do List: Holiday Weekend
Sure Fire Stop: Work Hard/Play Hard. That’s not really a stop, some might argue. Indeed it isn’t, but it is the theme for this weekend, ladies and gentlemen. You see our Greek loving ever-intelligent administration rejoices in years such as this when the calendar conveniently places X-Mas weekend a mere week before exams as a way to curtail student binging and encouraging weekend...
Only in Lex
Here at Lex and the City we love perusing the Campus Notices and every once in a while we (or in this case an avid fan and reader Gozi Egbuonu) stumble across something truly great. Merry early Christmas Lexers.
DATE NEEDED! DATE NEEDED FOR THIS WEEKEND! A strapping young member of Phi Kappa Sigma needs a date for a night on the town in Charlottesville this weekend. The individual is , C. Tucker...
Lex and the City: Once You Go Black Friday
Why Hello there Lexers. Long time no see. I hope everyone had an incredible Turkey Day, but alas, it’s time to say goodbye to the families for now and get your head back in the academic and relationship game.
I always enjoy Thanksgiving because it means several things: the intricate balance of friends and family (a dance that doesn’t become any easier as you get older); it means eating food that...
