This Sunday, the sun finally decided to show up so I made the most of it and took a train down to Oxford, home of one of the most distinguished universities around. To say that the campus is impressive would be an understatement. The city itself is basically centered around all the different educational buildings - HUGE!! And the buildings themselves have been there for ages so you definitely feel a strong sense of tradition and history. A canal snakes through the campus and between the buildings are all kinds of cool restaurants and pubs. In fact, the pub down below was an old hang out of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Not bad, eh! I got plowed where the Lord of the Rings and Narnia dudes thought of all that craziness. I guarantee you they were plowed when they thought of some of that stuff! Talking animals? C'mon!!!!
It got me thinking, with all these brilliant scholars coming out of this university, can it possibly be even a little bit of a party school? I can't imagine Tolkien and Lewis doing keg stands so I began to lose hope. And then I stumbled upon a towering structure smack dab in the middle of town. The proof is right on that sign, my friends. The answer is yes, they do know how to party, and party like there's no tomorrow! I don't even think SC or UCLA has one of these "houses"! With a "house" like this, who would ever wanna graduate?? Not me, mi amigo! No way! Oxford University: Putting the "party" in party schools since 1096!

Do they have pasty there?
Y'know Larry, I have yet to have a pasty, which is sad cuz there's a shop on our 1st floor that sells nothing but pasties. I'll see if they ship them to Pasadena for you.
Hey! Don't tease me. You better ship em now that you mention it. I saw how they make em on the teley. I regrate not picking one up at Victoria Station.
Well, well... glad to see you getting around in England... and I can't believe you haven't eaten a pasty yet!!! And you have 1 in your building??? I'm so disappointed. ;0) Oh, and while you're in the touisty mood, and if the sun permits, you ought to go & see where shakesphere used to go drinkin' as well.
