[Blush] Aw gee, I was only doing what any other eccentric otaku would.

Built in dispensar to the left. Open the cup, put it into the
compartment, close the door, let it fill up, take it out, three minutes
later hot ramen. Would be convenient if there was one at Furinkan. All
Ranma would have to do is strick his head in. Or you can buy it fopr a
nickel less from the cafeteria. Apparently back in the 60's the food was
so horrible that the entire student body boycotted it. Nobody bought
anything there.One time a freshman went in just to buy milk and he got
pasted when he exited the building. So now we have a lot of good food. We
have the usual school foods along with [takes a deep breath] Pasta,
hamburgers fresh off a grill, Domino personal pizzas, deli  sandwhiches
from a local shop, Lasanga form the local italian restaurant, Panda
Express orange flavored chicken, not to mention seniors and juniors can
leave campus and go to Burger King, McDonalds, etc. All this and I
wionder why so many people still buy instant ramen.

Well, last week we had a prom show. There was a pink strecthed Lamborgini
there with a heart shaped hot tub in back! I figured if I had the money
to hire that thing I should just get a helicopter. I ean a fancy limo has
been done to death. Nobody has ever arrived at a prom via helicopter. 
Problem is that the school board declared an official no fly zone around
the prom when they heard that. :( And then compound that to I'm only a
sophomore and I've got nobody to take. Dah well, there's always next
year. Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Yeah, the superintedant has been pushing it that way. Got so bad our
Principal announced his resignation. Luckily due to student protests he
decided to stay on.  Sucks is that the superindtendant contract doesn't
expire till 2003.

Maybe it's the pre-Meiji xenophobia when the Japanese resisted anything
western. If it wasn't for the light bulb they'd have hung on to that
belief for awhile longer. More I'd have to say Ranma takes place in the
80's. Calculators back then used to cost 40 dollars or more.
