I say it with love (and a hint of Macalesterite pragmatism [this is a joke]), but damn Carleton is a nerdy place.
Exhibit the quirkillionth: "The first-ever muggle quidditch tournament at Carleton College, May 3, 2008." (The video was shot by a colleague at Carleton, who went all multimedia and wrote a piece for Northfield.org ; you can also read about this inanity on the Northfield News site.)
Apparently muggle quidditch matches (some muggle, tell me if that's the wrong noun) are all the rage at liberal arts colleges these days.
Not to falute too high, but I think the pen and imagination of blind Argentine librarians. Who's with me on a trip to "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius"?
