Repetition is something most people prefer not to do and for good reasons. It can lead to the following side effects: being bored, almost instantaneous lost of interest, being highly annoyed, being bored again, possible insanity (depending on how much repetition is used), possible spontaneous combustion, and the candle on the cake, more boredom. People in general don’t like to repeat themselves or have someone repeat something to them.

Luckily, most people won’t go mentally insane if someone repeats something twice. For those who cannot handle this, however, divert your eyes. It’s no surprise, but the corner of legends was better off when the French were in charge.

Though the situation over in no man’s land has somewhat gotten better, much is still to be desired overall.  The shelves that once lined the pile of anonymous junk have been removed for the better. While this is an improvement,  it does not make it perfect.

The previous French themed decorations from homecoming have raised the white flag (like almost every war they were involved with) and ran the opposite direction. The fate of these decorations most likely ended with them being pushed even farther back into this corner of despair. Now, the various boxes have seemingly multiplied like a rampaging virus. What lies behind this mountain possibly made of toilet paper remains a mystery. The only thing that is certain is that the giant tarp that suppose to “block” this mound of garbage is most likely the remains of France’s second national flag.

While this white banner of blankness looks just as it is described, it serves a very good purpose. On the bright side, as long as it remains in its current position, people cannot see the sport highlights from the stone age! Whether this new exhibit is considered more entertaining to look at or not comes down to personal preference, black and white pictures or. . . you know . . . just a really white tarp. There really aren’t a lot of choices, but the choice is yours.

While looking at it head on may not be the most interesting thing in the world to do, people could always look behind the curtain. Why someone would possibly risk the chance of having the mound fall on them is something only personal motivation or extreme boredom can explain. Surprisingly, the contents of this mess have become more diversified. Behind all of the paper lies many more random objects, some that could be of great use.

There are tables, but there’s no obvious reason to use more tables if everyone just barely fits. It’s not like it would help to alleviate the congestion in the cafeteria. It’s much more interesting to have them there for people passing by to look at them and say, “Ah yes, tables.” That is, of course, if people dare to peak behind the tarp.  Accommodating these tables are chairs respectively, displayed for people to admire.

The newest and, by far, one of the best features here is the mobile stand that was used to decorate for MORP. Instead of being used for its intended reason, it is now used as a (drum roll) tie down. Because nothing holds a giant piece of plastic in place like one of these bad boys. This is only the icing on the cake — what lies beneath the mound may be a mystery never to be solved.

One mystery that has been solved is the case involving the questionable cabinets. No longer are they here to . . . well, they really never did anything. They just kinda existed. Luckily, they are no longer here, making the eye sore of a corner somewhat less of an eyesore (depending on what you consider an eye sore).

At this point in time, the mound remains. The purpose it serves and the reason it is there in the first place is something that many people may never know. But one thing is certain: the mound of many things is not going anywhere anytime soon.
