End of a tradition

College cafeterias go trayless in an attempt to reduce water usage.

Schools report saving thousands of gallons of water a day by not having meal trays to wash, and less food waste since students can't load down trays with second helpings that go uneaten. I understand the reasons, and even agree. But what will the next generation of students use to go sledding? Where will they carve their tray-related puns now?

There's still the puns on the grout of Canaday bathrooms, I assume.

Ah, progress. I approve, much like my parents' fake Christmas tree (it's so hard to get live trees anymore; they're all cut), but still... nostalgia goes bing!

Except it's not very convenient. Bah.

I should hope so. Clever graffiti is one of the things I always loved about the Mawr.

Thank god I wasn't the only one who used those trays to go sledding. <3

Not at all. We even called it traying! :) Ah, good times.

It's interesting to see what lengths certain places are going to in the name of both conservation for the environment and saving money in rough economic times.

BTW, did you know CNN is linking to your LJ at the bottom of that story? Pretty cool if you ask me ;)

Huh! Must be an automatic trackback kind of thing. How funny...

It's a tray-vesty

Uh oh, Mawr circuit tripped...

No, the Travis-tea was my Blake's 7 tea. It's a tray-gedy.

(That A. Nonny Moose was me, by the way. Whups.)

(I thought it might be. :) )

It shows a lack of respect for tray-dition.

Sometimes, when balancing the issues of environment and cost savings, we have to make tray-deoffs.

Yeah, maybe we don't want to go down that tray-l...
