It’s been relatively easy to bash Whartonites and their ilk over the past several weeks. “Look at those fat cats on Wall Street, with their $60 million severance packages,” everyone from the crazy guy next to the Button to The New York Times has sniffed.
Street: What’s the soundtrack to your life?
Josh Bennett: The current soundtrack to my life is Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool. Socially critical, playful, lyrically complex — it’s essentially everything that I want people to say about my body of work when I’m gone.
Street: Who’s the coolest person you’ve ever met?
JB: The coolest person I’ve ever met would have to be [The Boondocks cartoonist] Aaron McGruder.

The other morning, when I woke up unsure of whether I was still drunk or just hungover, I found myself confronted by an important post-coital realization: I had screwed up (pun mildly intended).

Street: If you could write your own superlative, what would it be?
GH: “Tired of being introduced as the guy with the fellacious name.”

GH: I got three mentions!
Street: In high school you were most likely to…?
GH: “Star in a pornographic film.”
Street: What do you plan to name your children?
GH: Anything but Gabe.
Street: Why not just go by Gabriel?
GH: Because then I would never be in 34th Street.
Street: When did you realize that your name might be the potential source of amusement for others / yourself?
GH: My seventh grade teacher gave me the hilarious nickname of “Give ‘em.”
Street: Who’s the coolest person you’ve ever met?
Former Street Ed-in-Chief (read: has-been) Jasmine "Jazzy" Fournier on her final days at Penn, PennQuest and her brother Nelly.
Street: What do you think of Street this semester, now that you're gone?
Jasmine Fournier: Normally you say people are gone when they are dead.
During Fling, your safety lies with SPEC prez and Fling Safe head Max Cancre. The Senior speaks on Luda, painkillers, and why you should Fling safely... or die.
Street: What is the objective of Fling Safe?
Max Cancre: You mean other than to get people to Fling safely?
The Street Sweeper may be defunct, but that was just gossip anyway. In the spirit of Fling, here are four true sex stories - messy, drunken sex stories.
