CARDBOARD BOBSLED
What the hell is going on with the western stairwell in the dorms? Someone's turned it into a cardboard-and-pillow-lined luge track. The whole thing! Floor five to ground level. It's pretty well decorated, all things considered, with whimsical plastic toys and paper cut outs stuck to the walls or dangling from the ceiling. There are even fairy lights scotch taped to the walls. It's like if you turned a Joe's Crab Shack into the world's jankiest amusement park ride. The culprit figures that if he gets in trouble he can just blame it on the sudden snow and his slow descent into madness. YOLO, etc.
Our adventure starts on the top floor, the Swords dorm and carries talented riders down and around up to five floors of spiral staircase. Freshmen stand at each door, watching to ensure no one's loitering on the track. Different music thrums through at each dorm floor landing from portable speakers manned by freshmen, adding even more confusion to the quick trip down the stairs. And on the ground level, a table with some snacks and drinks has been set out. Shitty medals made of folded paper and yarn are being awarded for those who “go all the way.”

HOW THIS WORKS
- With the assistance of some freshmen, Liam Blumenthal has assembled a cardboard sledding track in the western stairwell of the dorms. It took him most of the afternoon, so the first rides are available in the evening.
- Since the western stairwell is in use, he asks that the eastern stairwell and elevator not be loitered in. For safety reasons. :)
- Pick your mode of transport and go for a ride! You have a few options:
- Ya Butt (-10 to rolls, +1 to butt pain)
- Lumpy Pillow (-5 to rolls, +5 to comfort)
- Laundry Basket (0 to rolls, the Civic of improv indoor sleds)
- Plastic Disc Sled (+5 to rolls, +5 to style)
- One of those wheeled gym class ridey board things (+10 to rolls, +15 to yolo, but 50% chance of wipe out)
- Post the form below to the RIDES! section to see how far you'll go.
- 2 People to a ride max. Only one of the riders needs to check in with a form.
- Assume light scrapes, maybe a bruise, at worst for injury. Everything is lined with pillows and cardboard. It's quite squishy.
- This is super low pressure. Just something dumb and fun.
