As a Trojan, I'd laugh at the Bruins misfortune--however, California is in the middle of its worst drought in a century so I am furious of all the water wasted! Plus, we have our own issues of Chinamen students getting murdered in the 30's. W/S Harpys Deadend Barrio, ese.

Wonderful timing during the droughts in California..

srsly, for the prestige of being a private school, once you leave the gates of USC its like you're in Chiraq. I've partied there a bunch of times and its terrifying to be on the outskirts of campus at night

Yeah man, it isn't a place to be out and about past sunset. I would always try and leave campus before dusk but if I were caught up there at night I would usually park in staff stalls since I knew some of the TAs or be crashing at some girl's place on Fraternity Row. Pissing off all them Greeks in the meantime. Shady place to be at night that's for sure!

3 hours to turn it off?

3 hours to turn it off?

[cantthinkofanything]

depends on the consistency of the ejaculate

3 hours to turn it off?

yeah. if you just shut it off, pressure builds up and you will have a similar problem elsewhere. its not like ur home plumbing when the sink leaks. it has to be timed, coordinated very well to avoid making problems worse

You sure you're not Polish and not Armo? You sure know a lot about pipes, plumber.

He spends all day looking for the princess...but she's always in another castle.

I held sway over the Super Mario Bros. saga...but never understood why Mario kept in' with a who always got caught and probably banged on by King Koopa. He could've at least ate the out of Princess Peach--she was by far the hotter of the two.

UCLA flood from water line rupture is red flag for L.A. infrastructure

Officials have long known that hundreds of miles of city water lines have deteriorated and need replacement, with many past the century mark. But in recent years, L.A.'s elected leaders have been unwilling to hike water rates enough to fix them more rapidly. As it stands, the city-owned Department of Water and Power is on track to replace main water lines only once every 300 years.

the flooding was part of a city "infrastructure crisis" that includes notoriously buckled sidewalks, untrimmed trees and broken streets.

replacing the lines more quickly — every 100 years instead of every 300 — would cost roughly $4 billion. It would take a decade to accomplish, and require a 4% water rate increase every year, he said.

"I don't think anyone is even dreaming of that as a possibility," he said. "We're not going to bankrupt our ratepayers, but we have to do something in this direction."

city leaders have long shied from such unpopular hikes even in the face of great need.

"They just don't want to take a vote that will cost them their jobs," said former DWP head S. David Freeman. As a result, he said, "the agency doesn't even ask for it."
