Secret social practice contingent at Haverford

Jane Holloway | February 3, 2009

Today I took a trip to the nice bathroom by the periodicals room in Magill, and I found this weird flier. The question on this sheet of paper reads: “If you were to make a peanut butter sandwich, what else would you put on it? Be bold.” The responses (honey, AIDS, your mom’s chest hair among them) interest me less than the question. Who’s asking? Are we asked to write about a sandwich we would really eat? Or is the question just a clever vandalism opportunity that allows us to scrawl “semen” on a wall? And will we receive sandwiches for our participation?

What's interesting to me about this is exactly the question

Liz | February 4, 2009

What’s interesting to me about this is exactly the question itself, or rather the nature of the question. This isn’t something you’d have a particularly embarrassing answer to, if you were answering it honestly (for most people, the wildest response you’d get would be “bacon”, right?), so why make it anonymous? The addition of anonymity seems to particularly invite comments like “semen” and “your mom’s chest hair.” What is it about anonymity that turns us into the grossest version of ourselves?

That said, I, too, want a sandwich.

Hi Liz. I'm assuming you're Liz Cohen-Scheer. Cool. Yeah I agree.

Yeah I agree. Is this the Make Art Happen people???

I’ll ask them tomorrow night.

I think it would be cool if people just left some sandwich ingredients in the bathroom and invited people to make sandwiches right there. Kind of Rirkrit-y, right?

making sandwiches in the bathroom = eating where you shit.

making sandwiches in the bathroom = eating where you shit. interesting idea. if you go somewhere with it, bring hand sanitizer.

Liz Turner | February 5, 2009

I will be sure to include both first and last name in the future to avoid confusion.
