April Fool's!
Swarthmore, PA
This is the reason I was up at 4 am this morning - our epic engineering prank.
The best part was definitely hearing people's responses. :)

OMG what is that supposed to be? A buried park bench?
June: that's a precious expression.
it looks like a buried adirondack chair, the trademark chairs that usually lie around on swarthmore's grass field. jing has more details on that.

all those mannequin heads are scary

So, the "big chair" has become one of Swat's trademarks. I want to say it was an engineering student's senior project, but I'm not a hundred percent sure. It's pretty massive, you can definitely fit about 4 people on there at a time. It goes in for the winter and comes out in the spring. People do a lot of fun stuff when it comes out. Last year, I came out of the dining hall to find that someone had arranged all the chairs in a pattern to look like all the small chairs were around the big one, kind of like they were worshipping it. :) We really like the big chair.
So, the big chair hasn't come out this year, but the engineers decided to make it look like we buried it. We made 3 wooden parts (the top, and then the 2 arms) and stuck them into the ground, then put dirt all around it to make it look like it was buried. And left a shovel, so it looked like the whole prank was a Herculean effort by one person! I think a bunch of people eventually figured out that it wasn't actually the big chair, but it was really fun while it lasted!
June - who is that? And yes I love the expression! What was she doing?
And haaaaats! Darell have you gotten any new hats lately? It's straw hat weather!
And enjoy Czech! I can't wait for pictures.
