2005.1
"The Peeing Bandit"
At Skidmore College, Session 1, 2005, there was a bandit on the loose. During the last week, a boy decided to pee all over the bathroom wall. The next day, all the guys were called to a meeting, at which the RAs proceeded to threaten the guys with horrible things if no one confessed. Shortly after the meeting, the bandit struck again, and two more bathrooms were destroyed. The RAs brutally took away quad time for all the guys. The girls were in an uproar, and rumors started to circulate that the last dance was at stake. That night, the bandit struck for the last time, but was not caught. After intensive interrogations, the RAs gave up. All privileges were re-instated, but we never found out who the peeing bandit was. It might remain a CTY mystery forever.
2006.1
Pop Your Collar Day
It was already decided by the majority of the nevermores of 2006, the former emperor of 2006, and all 4 new emperors and empresses of 2007 that Pop Your Collar Day will not be continued.
- Thank god!
2006.2
Superstars Game Cancelled
NOTE: The shame is NOT the team, but the SHAME of the game being cancelled. The Pretentious Inuits (Saratoga Session 2, '06), captained and assembled by James B, were an all star soccer team. They were more than qualified to beat the staff for what would have the ONLY Skidmore '06(both Session I and II) student win. Inspired and brought together by RA Meng's (pronounced Mung) quest for decency, PI, as some called them, were ready for a win. But when the nurse declared playing soccer in 98 degrees too dangerous, the student-staff game was off.
Inuit's Roster:
Nevermores: Mike S., Bonny G., Anthony, Veda
The Rest: Aseem M., Sam S., 'Pip', James B., Wande O., Eric C., Ian ?, Jane C., Gaby G., Brian M., and Jarett.
GO INUITS 2007!!!!!!!!!
Near Ramen Fire
At Skidmore '06 session 2, a Crafting the Essay A student - Brandon Kim, caused two fire alarms to ring. On the night of the first saturday, Putting on the Ritz Casino Night, we, the boys of Rounds 3, were leaving. He was leaning against the wall. He slid down, hitting the fire alarm. Next, on the second tuesday, he was to lazy to go to breakfast, and thus proceeded to make ramen that he bought on a sunday town trip. He left for a minute, and (nobody is actually sure) he apparantly microwaved it on high, without much water. This resulted in the entire room filling with smoke, and actually starting a fire and plasma inside the microwave, sending the fire trucks in and destroying the microwave (the cord was cut by the fire department. Until the end of CTY this year, he was known by people he had never met before as 'Ramen Man' and 'kid who burned ramen'. There have been fires at Skidmore, but RAMEN???? The dorm smelled like burnt ramen for most of the rest of the session. There have been instances where someone may have overheated popcorn and caused the firemen to arrive but for someone to get the firemen there twice in one session deserves to be in the hall of shame.
note - he microwaved it with a fork in the cup, on top of it.
From brandon kim himself- The real story went like this; A crisp and bitter morning (not unlike potato chips) I got up with a hankering for some ramen. If you were here in '06 you would know about the rabid squirrel and extremely bad cafeteria food. I just didnt care enough to go down anyway (rounds 3 wooooo!). I got my ramen and made my way to the 'wave. I had the water on and i guess i missed it when i swiped the bowl through. So, i put it in (NO FORK). Then, i went back to my room. I returned and then i saw smoke in the wave. So i shut the door and opened the wave to find smoke pouring out and i almost fainted. I opened hte door and ran for a fork for who knows what. The fire alarm rang and i dropped the fork in my mad dash out. For the record, i was to awesome to go to breakfast...not lazy
ok brandon, no one believes you. you only knew this site because i told you it existed. so there.
ookkkkaaay jerrry. your so mean to me! appreciation day >.>
hey, the ramen kid is notorious :D
A Whole New World
During Quad Time, couples liked to go to the small quad in front of Case to talk and make out and such because it's away from what was temporarily the main quad due to construction. The small quad has quite a few trees and each couple had their own tree to do their thing. Usually the RAs just walk around, shine their flashlights here and there, and just in general keep a watchful eye over everyone without disturbing them much. But during second session, two RAs decided it would be fun to surprise and publicly humiliate friskier couples by singing A Whole New World at the top of their lungs. Not only was it annoying to the couple being "serenaded", it was an annoyance to everyone else because the RAs weren't exactly the best singers.
2007.2
The Evil Reign of Tim (Mr. Rogers)
Tim, the site director in 2007, was extremely disliked in CTY because of rules that were getting stricter and stricter to the point of stupidity (and his neon green shirt). CTYers were not allowed to walk anywhere they wanted without an RA, which became frustrating when it came to buying things from the Case bookstore and during meals (everyone to wake up so the whole hall could go to breakfast together, and everyone had to be finished eating and checked in with their RA before leaving the dining hall). Other examples include that no one could take pictures of anyone else without their consent (not that it stopped anyone), the banning of Slap-Your-Own-Ass Day and Slap-Someone-Else's-Ass Day (see below) due to "third party sexual harassment" (welcome to CTY, Tim...), etc.
Perhaps the most infamous story of the evilness of the man was the case of Pat and the white lanyard. Many a student had stolen a white staff lanyard from the main office during the sessions. During the last dance of Session 2, Nevermore Pat Sullivan was caught wearing one, and suffered the wrath of Tim. Pat had not even stolen the lanyard, but was given it by another CTYer. Tim was furious. Pat said he got it from a friend. When asked who he said he "forgot". Tim, however, thought Pat was covering for someone. He said if Pat confessed, he would give him the right to go to Passionfruit.
Many campers, as well as many RAs, were in uproar. Another Nevermore, Eli Aubain, fessed up to the crime in an attempt to save Pat. Several people, including Nevermore John Grover, stayed in the office until well after lights out arguing Pat's case: when lanyards were stolen, the office was almost always completely empty, with the lights off. There was no security camera in the office, and the place the lanyards were kept was not locked; the fault was therefore also on the administration. Tim probably understood this, and how he shouldn't have been NEARLY as harsh, which is probably why he kicked out John and other Pat-supporters after a certain point. Pat "remembered" who gave him the lanyard (after confirming that, Eli confessed) but either Tim or the Administration went back on their word and didn't let Pat or Eli go to Passionfruit. The events that night greatly increased the Anti-Tim feeling on campus.
Tim had also, unfortunately, defamed the name of Mr. Rogers. Listen to his wierd, nasal voice and you'll get flashbacks to "It's a Wonderful Neighborhood" (Won't you be mine? Muahahahaha...). His creepy Rogers-esque voice and questionable behavior has convinced many that he is Mr. Rogers reincarnated in the form of a pedophile. Please, if you find yourself in close proximity to him, sprinkle him with chopped garlic and holy water. Theoretically, he should dissolve into a puddle of sweaters.
A scratched drawing on a cement pillar between Wilmarth Hall and Murray Dining Hall also appeared, depicting Tim doing obscene things...
Also, Tim tobaggans deer.
Tim can turn water into date rape.
Tim did not return as Site Director at Skidmore for the 2008 Summer Sessions. The new director (Marty) is much cooler.
Slap-Your-Neighbor's-Ass-Day Banned
'Nuff said. This day was very, very amusing, but deserves a spot in the Hall of Shame. Unfortunately, many students were caught by Mr. Rogers (masquerading as site director Tim) who creepily instructed those who celebrated to go to his office. There was a line of people who had been caught gently smacking their friend's asses. I went in, defended myself (mostly by lying) and bit my lip to keep from cracking up.
Quotes from this conversation (pinch your nose while you say these, and you may get an idea of how hysterical they were).
Tim: "Do you deny that you hit someone's butt-end?"
Tim: "It's dangerous, hitting someone's butt-end. You could get them in the eye."
Me: "But aren't eyes usually up...never mind."
Die, Tim, die.
Jim
Jim, also known as Jesus (not to be confused with the position of Jesus at LAN), Duckboy, Jack Black, and probably a lot of other things, was a crazy kid in Math Modeling. He became known throughout CTY for his various acts of total insanity, such as going to Drag Day wearing a towel (it is unknown if he was wearing anything under the towel), picking up a live duck and carrying it around, breaking one of the lights on Wilmarth third floor with a belt, and randomly declaring himself to be Jesus. There was a problem with all this, because he thought he was being funny, when in reality he was annoying as Hell. Seriously.
He also had a Nintendo DS, but the RAs didn't care. The DS was also a major part of the Duct Tape Incident, where Wesley duct-taped a flashlight to Jim's door and told a few people about it, then duct-taped the DS to the top of the door. (Almost everyone on the third floor stood outside Jim's door staring after that happened...) A few days later, Colton stole it.
After he went to the Monty Python daily, he started throwing rocks at people while yelling "CONFESS, I SAY! CONFESS!! I AM WITHOUT SIN!". The next day, he got into a rock-throwing fight with Colton, and Jim was kicked out. Colton, who was also an absolute asshole, was kicked out as well, making it a too-sweet-to-believe two for one deal. It led some people to believe that the third floor was cursed (Colton, Jim, and Will, who was kicked out for hitting Rohan with a chair, were all on the third floor, and all on different halls.). When Jim was leaving, he was going completely insane because he couldn't find his DS. Colton might still have it.
I was getting a drink trying not to blatantly stare when he got pulled aside by an RA, I forget who.-Sarah W
I heard that kid didn't shower...I could be confusing him with someone else, though... -Shannon K
He didn't shower. He actually bragged about how long he had gone without showering. (I think it was something like a month.) -LordZeebmork
If this is No Shower Kid, he was given just enough money to buy shampoo and wash his clothes, but instead chose to spend it all on soda. From then until the day he was kicked out, he walked around with a liter coke(or at least I think it was coke) bottle which he refilled every meal. -Byron
Yeah, that sounds like Jim. He carried around (and refilled) soda bottles most of the time, and according to someone in his class, he had empty Coke bottles piled around his desk. -LordZeebmork
The Dump on the Second Floor
The boys living on the second floor of Wilmarth Hall woke up to an unpleasant surprise one day, when they found human feces on the floor of the bathroom. Of course, no one would confess, and all of the kids who shared the bathroom were forced to clean it up by the RA. Most of these kids found some excuse out of the duty (pun intended), except for the very unfortunate Peixuan Guo. Pei, a nevermore, sadly cleaned it up, but not without complaining of course. The students on the second floor decided to ban together to try to find the real perpetrator, by means of a chant similar to "Who took the cookie from the cookie jar?" It went...
"Who took a dump on the second floor?"
"John took a dump on the second floor!"
"Who, me?"
"Yes, you!"
"Couldn't be!"
"Then who?"
"Harry!"
"Harry took a dump on the second floor!"
and on and on, they ran through all of Wilmarth, breaking furniture on the third floor while trying to find the infamous crapper. The criminal was never caught, and justice was never served. To this day, it is still a mystery as to who took a dump on the second floor.
2008.2
McClellan 3
McClellan 3 was nearly certainly the worst behaved hall ever. Presented here are just some of the hall's exploits.
The night of the first Friday, after casino night, was fight club. Because all the RAs on the floor were cleaning up from Casino night, students decided to have fight club in the common area. There was a referee, and when asked, claimed that an RA had participated in fight club earlier that morning. After about 10 minutes of wrestling, with everyone on the floor at least watching, the same RA walks in on fight club, and is so surprised by it that he simply stares at it for about half a minute before he can collect his wits and stop it. After breaking up the fighting, he goes halfway down the hall to get a drink, and comes back to a restarted fight club, to which he said "I turn around for 5 seconds and you start fighting again?"
After he cited us perhaps splitting our heads open upon the wooden couches as a reason to stop fight club, several mattresses were brought out, originally to pad the couches, but then were just jumped upon until the other RAs returned.
The following day, the entire floor had a 'talk' with Chris Hazard. It is a testament to how much leeway Marty gave students that this was the only punishment administered, although town trip privileges were threatened. However, nothing as dangerous was attempted for the rest of session.
In the second week, Dante Pilkington had his head shaved, much to his mother's displeasure. As a result, administration banned head shaving without written parental consent for the rest of the session.
Dammy was the subject of many incidents. He was one of a few who shaved Dante's head, and was taped to a chair. Also, on the last Wednesday, the shelves and food in the refrigerator were removed and replaced with Dammy. Stefan, after being told for at least 10 minutes that there was a bud light in the refrigerator, finally went to check it out, and was instead greeted by Dammy jumping out at him. Dammy also did his laundry after lights out in the bathroom sinks because the RAs objected to him going down to the laundry rooms after lights out. He also blew out an outlet trying to plug in a vacuum cleaner.
Dammy was also the subject of the 'Strawberry Shortcake Plot', a creation of RA Joel. In the morning, Dammy agreed with his RA, Stefan, that, given good enough behaviour, he would be treated to strawberry shortcake after quad time. After quad time, Stefan deployed hall member Dante to stall Dammy while he gathered the rest of the 13 person hall to tell them the plan. Stefan announced that, as his peers, the 13-person hall would vote on whether or not Dammy got the Strawberry Shortcake. The first 6 people, including Dammy, voted yes, and the the last seven voted no. After the voting, the Strawberry Shortcake was eaten in front of Dammy, who was so devastated that he was rolling on the floor, after trying to attack Joel and Stefan and being restrained by Dante Pilkerson and Daniel Wagner.
Third floor RAs decided to administer physical punishment such as pushups and wall sits, which lead to push up contests. RAs would also ask CTYers to swear so they could administer punishment.
On several separate occasions, a fire alarm was pulled, at least once in close proximity to a dance, so many boys were forced to stand outside wearing nothing but a towel/sheet. The only funny part is that this must've annoyed the campus security, who aren't beholden to CTYers, or the RAs for that matter. It is suspected that the campus security are scientologists, as they appeared under a CTYer's window as soon as he started visiting sites critical of Scientology on his iTouch, but not in the week and a half before, when he was using wifi just as much.
CTYers constantly talked about sex with the RAs, who didn't try to deter it at all. Someone from McClellan 3 bought condoms during one of the town trips.
Stefan's room was tea bagged at one point. It was his own fault for going on and on about how he only had 31 dollars in it.
There is a vent that connects all three floors of McClellan, which was constantly being yelled down, primarily in the form of Dante swearing and people rickrolling other CTYers on the other floors (rickrolling was no stranger to any of the floors, but it was most significant on the third one).
CTYers Tetsu, Dan W., Dan Bateyko. were flashed excessively by a group of girls who were on campus for no discernible purpose. An explicit report was given to an RA, who seemed surprisingly interested by it...
Dante spent most of his time walking around half naked, which spread, and there were several people walking around in only their boxers by the end of session. Dammy took mooning people, and when he left (at the same time as everyone else, surprisingly), he mooned the RAs, so the last they saw of Dammy was his butt.
Dante also stuck a fork up his butt.
On the last Thursday, there was a 14 person ISO, which is the largest one known of (but feel free to edit this if you've had larger).
Note that the largest reported ISO to date at Skidmore was during 09.2, on Wilmarth 2, at 20 people. It was held on the night after the last dance in Lowell (LOL) and Dan (Ginger)'s room (a triple.) However it was broken up by SRA Fat Bastard, also known as Mike Katani, at about 2 in the morning. Sleepovers were banned for the entire session, apparently due to many students stating on the end of session review forms that they didnt feel they got enough sleep. Please note that Mike was walking around the Wilmarth building for upwards of 4 hours, starting at 10 pm, for no other purpose but to bust sleepovers.
A certain RA had his twenty first birthday on his day off (note that drinking age is 21 in New York). He came back totally wasted, or so we supsect (nobody actually saw him get back, he just locked himself in his room).
Towards the end of session, two signs were posted over the two doors that lead to McClellan 3; "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate," and the english equivalent "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." These are from Dante's Inferno.
The members of the various halls on Mac 3 were:
Stefan's hall: Dante Pilkington, Tetsu Higushi, Daniel Wagner, Sawwon Lee (towel whip boy), Dammy Adeoti, TDL, and a bunch of asians who never caused any trouble.
Other halls: Sam ?, Matt Simon, Ilya M., O.J., Chris Min, Ian ?, Philip Lowe, and other non-memorable people.
Second floor: Dan Bateyko (who, despite spending large amounts of time on third floor, was never punished)
(Dante, Tetsu, Dammy and Sam were allegedly asked to not come back the following year)
2009
Rick-Rolling Canon
At the third and final dance, the RAs who make the playlist (Stefan, Jeremy, Greg) added their own personal surprise. First session, it was during "Forever Young." Second session, it was during "Build Me Up Buttercup." 30 seconds of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" was played in the middle of the canon song. During both sessions, this caused many dancers to walk outside and stop dancing, and led others to go to the DJ table and complain, or even cuss out the RAs. They just took more pleasure from our complaints, and laughed as we walked out. After the short rick-roll, the songs were played from where they stopped, and the rest of the dance went smoothly. This was generally a jerk-move by the RAs, and Stefan refused to apologize afterwards.
2010
John the TA
John the TA for Game Theory, was probably one of the worst sports in the history of the staff. What made him infamous was his CTYi behavior at the staff-student games. Not only did he suck majorly, but he would say the bitchiest things to the students. This led to emperor Young Guang to yell in his face at the top of his lungs the stall count making him f*ck up the throw, even still he said "get the f*ck out of my face bitch". This also led to Young tackling him during soccer game to which Stefan the ref overlooked. Stefan also gave a red card to John on the sidelines at half time of the soccer game, and as of now John is prohibited from participating in any further student-staff games.
2010.1
Bleached Burnt Ramen Boy
In 2010, Session one, Chris Kim became known as Bleached Burnt Ramen Boy (BBRB for short) becuse of many problems he caused. First, he started the second ramen fire in Skidmore CTY history (the first being in 2006) by apparently failing to realize that ramen needed water to cook. Contrary to rumor, another kid did not douse the flames, but it was in fact the RA Jeremy (also known as Jer-Bear). However he did not douse the outside of the microwave, instead he first unplugged the microwave, and then opened it up as there was quite literally a fire and poured water on the inside. This act was frowned upon by the security, but it just may have saved everyone's life in Wilmarth. Thank you Jer-bear, we all owe you our lives.
The second BBRB incident happened when the Cryptology class was granted the task of dyeing our TA Brian's hair. As his hair was black, it needed to be bleached first. This inspired Hart to dye his hair tips and Chris decided to bleach a skunk stripe down the center of his head. Then, Chris proceeded to participate in capture the flag and sweat. The sweat made the bleach run into his eyes and he had to go to the hospital. He was fine, but he is now and forever branded with the name Bleached Burnt Ramen Boy.
The Gum Ear Incident
In Cryptology 2010, a kid named Naum decided it was a good idea to stick gum in his ear. The teacher told him to go to the bathroom and get it out. Ten minutes later, Naum came back and said, "I got the gum out, but now the wrapper is shoved in really far." He had apparently stuck the wrapper in before the gum for some reason. Then again, there's no reason for putting gum in your ear that I can think of. Naum had to go to the local EmUrgent Care to get the wrapper removed, escorted by a rather bemused looking Mike. Naum, although being one of the smartest kids in our class, tended to do odd things like hide under boxes and draw the ugliest walsruses I have ever seen all over the chalkboard. I think that he earned his spot on the wall of shame.
