Andy Price is a Prick

Well, maybe he is a punk. No, a coward. No, a jackass I’ll go with all four, actually. You see, ladies, and gentleman, Andy did a stupid, thoughtless, distasteful thing on the night of September 19th. While at a party, and intoxicated, Andy Prick decided to pick up a friend of mine, swing her over his head and then proceeded to drop her and then fall on her. This incident happen to Margot Kistler.

If you don’t know Margot, you should meet her. She is a sweet and friendly gilr hailing from Central Mass. They didn’t even know each other before this night. He just decided to pick her up and act like the ass-clown he is. She currently has TWO BROKEN BONES in her foot and wears one of those boots that make you look like Robo Cop and will be on crutches for at least a month.

When I heard the news, I was shocked, but once I saw her in person, it hit me harder. If you have been on crutches before, you know it is horrible. Its tiring, you feel self-conscious, and you sweat like the dickens. And can you imagine crutching on a college campus? Sheesh.

And one of the worst parts about this is that Mr. Prick claims he does not remember this happening. In addition, he did not apologize until the following Tuesday. That is four days after. And he damn well knew about it the day after.

He showed up at Margot’s house on Tuesday with a mediocre bouqet of flowers and an apology that lasted all of 16 seconds. Come on man. You broke this girl’s foot. And you go with the cliche, boring flower route? Try some creativity. Try something else.

Flowers and something. Give her some of your meal points. Get her a magazine subscription. Do something. You broke her foot. For God’s sake man! Wanting to remain anonymous, I asked a member from the class of ’09 to share his thoughts: “That’s bull-sh*t. If he would have done that to me, I would have got my friends from back home to come to campus” A second classmate agreed: “Yeah, I probably would have gone a different direction and pressed charges. Thats f*cked up.”

I call on the Wesleyan community to show some love for Margot and say hi to her if you see her around campus. And if you see Andy, glare and scowl at him. Yell at him. And if you are feeling jolly, go old school and give him a right hook to his jaw.
