January 25, 1999

BEN: Hey Jay! How's it goin'? It's me, Ben! You're taking AAS 149, too?
JAY: Oh, hey, Ben. Yeah, you know, social science requirement.

BEN: This RULES! We can do all our group projects together, form a weekly discussion group...
JAY: Mmm, hmm, great.

BEN: SAY, who would you say was the brightest new black politician of the 90's? My knee-jerk response would be Jesse Jackson, Jr., but one could make a case for Carol Moseley-Braun.
JAY: Mmm...

JAY: Ben, I don't WANNA be RUDE, but I'm trying to do the crossword, and it's very difficult to tune you AND the professor out.
BEN: Now, I've prepared this simple diorama to demonstrate my point...

January 22, 1999

BEN: HEY, you didn't tell me Jay was black!
JOHNNY: Didn't I? Oh. Yeah. Winston, too. So?

BEN: So? SO? So this is GREAT!! What an INCREDIBLE opportunity to widen our cultural horizons! To break out of our comfort zone!

BEN: We can learn more about African-American culture, have cool discussion about race relations...

BEN: I can break out my 19-hour media presentation on Thurgood Marshall!
JOHNNY: I have a feeling I should warn Winston and Jay about how much "fun" they're in store for.
