I think today's WoD is the embodiment of what we'd all like to do sometimes.  Have you ever said the wrong thing to someone?  Have you ever said the wrong thing at the wrong time?  Have you ever said the wrong thing to the right person at a less than convenient time?  

 

If not, then you haven't experienced life like everyone else, but if you HAVE, then you know what recant is.

 

Taking something officially off the record, like it was never said, never done.  Kind of like a cnrtl+Z for life.  Yeah, I think we'd all like that.  I haven't had to put my foot in my mouth lately, but I'll probably want to recant a few choice words off the Internet by next weekend.  You see, as I've mentioned earlier, Georgetown is the bitter Rival of Syracuse University, and we're playing them in basketball on Saturday.  For those of you who don't follow SU basketball, change that status, immediately, because as of now we're ranked #8 in the country.  And this isn't even our best year.

 

But anyways, I'm going to be posting on Facebook, as well as Tweeting bad words and clever come-backs to the world about how SU is so much greater than GU, and how we're going to crush them, and how we're going to send them home crying (we haven't lost a game in the Dome in 2 years), and how we're going to make fun of their mascot, the hoyas.  The point is, a lot of intense stuff that I may want to recant after a few days, and the hype has died down.

 

For those of you who are wondering what a hoya is, GU's students/alumni are asking the exact same question.  But if you Google is, you'll find pictures of a very lovely flower, which I've posted below.  Those SoB's are going DOWN.
