Not a lot of explanation necessary for this one. As of this morning, I caught our favourite Kenyon matriarch being loaded off a truck outside of Peirce, ready for another season of festively taking up space in the servery and making Thrill commenters grouse about how much we spent on a big pumpkin. There was a Gourdzilla-shaped hole in my heart, Kenyon administration, and you have filled it. I think I heard a couple guys in the servery refer to it as the “second coming” in my bleary pre-coffee 8:30 AM haze, so I don’t think I’m the only one excited for Gourdzilla’s glorious reinstatement, at any rate.
Now my only question is, “What is Gourdzilla’s sex?” After a Peirce tweet referred to her in the masculine, I don’t know what to think anymore.
Who are we to assign sex/gender on another? Let the gourd self-identify!
Honestly, who is paying for this shit?
Our tuition, probably.
how expensive would it be to ship that thing to the uk? i want it in my flat.
as i passed by gourdzilla on my way to get some cottage cheese today i heard zie whispering “zie/zir/zir”
w8 i guess this should be “heard zir whispering” wow what a strange construction
what a great use of money…
Sarcastic remark along the lines of “this is totally worth whatever was paid for it.”
I said it once and I’ll say it again: Gourdzilla needs to die!
I came to Kenyon just for Gourdzilla
Did we/they not learn from last year’s mistakes? How could this happen again! I enjoy Gourdzilla as much as the next person (no I don’t) but I really don’t understand this…investment. We can’t make it into pumpkin pie, it takes up room and basically serves no purpose. But we paid $1600 for it? Come on!
It didn’t cost 1600, calm down.
It is part of the AVI decorations budget. They are given a budget by corporate each year to make the servery more “festive”. Relax everyone. This same debate happened last year.
I’m pretty sure it was intended to be used as a fundraiser last year, too, but someone messed up.
