Sunday Bloody Sunday

There's no shortage of jargon at Dartmouth - it takes freshmen all of a week before they start pontificating about jo-yos, blitz wars, and FFB face-timers. But there are some pretty notable gaps in the lexicon (seriously, how is there still not an awesome name for half-cup vs. half-cup? We've got "flitzing" taken care of, but we can't think of anything less cumbersome than "half-cup vs. half-cup" for one of our most prevalent social displays?).
I've also yet to hear a phrase that tries to capture the peculiar dynamic of a Sunday on a Big Party Weekend. But once I walked onto fourth-floor Berry, on this Sunday night of Green Key, it took about .05 seconds before the refrain from this song was stuck in my head. Sunday Bloody Sunday. That's the only way to describe it. Man is it packed up here -- happy studying folks.
