Minus the City: Sex Olympics

Class of 2011

Last week, while sitting on the couch eating unfrozen pizza and masturbating to the Olympics, we had a realization: there is no shame in getting hot and bothered by so many fit people in skintight bodysuits. The Winter Games have brought physically-gifted people from around the world together for one thrilling action-packed event. In fact, our reports tell us that there haven't been this many excited young people on a pile of white powder since the Jug bathroom last Friday. Although we all enjoy the Olympians for their superficial sexiness, there is also a lot to learn from the talented athletes in Vancouver.

Bedroom lessons come from a variety of Olympic events. Ski jumpers are masters of going the distance, male figure skaters can skate both ways and Shaun White knows how to lay down the pipe. For those of you who had trouble following the Olympics while also keeping up with class, homework and the Kardashians, here are a couple of Winter Games inspirations that could improve your personal hookup style.

First, we have discovered that, except for Bode Miller and the Russian curlers, Olympians tend to compete sober. Everyone knows that apartment parties, the Jug or CORE classes are more fun when you're almost blackout, but sex can be great with no drinks at all. Both "Minus the City" writers agree that some of the best boarding we've ever done has been minus the alcohol.

Next, pro-athletes improve their game using a camera - if it hasn't occurred to you to videotape your performances, it should. Almost all Olympic athletes watch footage of themselves with analysts and trainers post-run. After filming, you can self-assess or show your roommates to see what they think. If, for whatever reason, you are self-conscious about this, you also have the option of posting your clips on the Internet. Scores of dedicated experts from around the world will be happy to provide feedback and opinions (Great camera angles! Nice moneyshot!). Or, for those who desire live commentary, try having your sexytime while on Chatroulette. Strangers will be glad to critique you and if you're lucky you might even run into Bob Costas.

One group of Olympians we want to remind you not to imitate too heavily are the speed skaters. Apolo Ohno might be nimble and shapely, but he only goes in circles and lasts barely a minute. For the bros that might have this problem, try envisioning a Colgate cheerleader instead of your actual partner. This image might slow you down a bit.

In another daring event, Olympic bobsledding teams prove that great play doesn't have to be merely a solo or partner routine. These athletes show that many large men can fit into a small space. Bring a few friendly DU's home on a Saturday night and you'll surely be in for a wild ride.

Lastly, set up a medals system to reward yourself for exceptional sexual routines. Your partner might be alarmed when you attempt a triple axel backflip off the top bunk mid-coitus, but the glory is well worth the slight possibility of injury. When it comes to sexual athleticism, remember the American spirit and always go for gold!

Love it or hate it, when was Minus the City ever funny? It seems like a bunch of people are asking a column to go back to a fictional time when it was humorous. As a Senior, I can't remember this column ever being funny in the past 4 years. At least now people are reading it.

From an outside standpoint its harder to take this paper seriously when you continuously post tasteless articles with errors. It makes Colgate kids look stupid and diminishes the hard work of serious writers for the Maroon News.

Uptight people never seem to realize that unfunny, poorly written garbage is the status quo here. If they are expecting probing journalism, witty satire, or sophisticated ribaldry they should read alternate sources.

Don't go looking for The Onion or The New Yorker when all Colgate has is US Weekly and Maxim.

This column has gone from entertaining to down right ridiculous. The articles published used to be funny and empowering, never a place to target and pick on people through tasteless insults. It's pretty easy put people down from behind your computer screen, but I would be shocked if either of these boys had the balls to say a word to a football player's face or would ever turn down a cheerleader.

PLEASE pick some new, more qualified writers for this column. It would be nice if we had some experienced people giving us sex and relationship advice, wouldn't it?

did you actually just condone making amateur porn and posting it online? don't worry, the suggestions that people here are all on coke and go to classes blackout every day as well as the note that all DU brothers are obese and would sleep with anyone didn't go unnoticed either. good job making fun of a giant group of guys who could beat you up. also, making fun of cheerleaders? that will definitely make people think you're cool, because if you'll speak badly about girls you don't know then why wouldn't you speak badly about girls you do? cool. a shining example of fine literature by the maroon news.

seriously? this column used to be hilarious, and now it sucks. unless these girls personally turned you down, which may be the case and if so i don't blame them considering that the immature and rude nature of your writing must be characteristic of your personalities, then you have no reason to pick on them. some of them are fantastic friends and all around great people, who wouldn't attack people they didn't know for no reason, and deserve the same respect. they deserve an apology, and you deserve to have your status as "staff" seriously reconsidered.

Not throwing stones in glass houses? I live in a house where grammar is not important -- I'm not a freakin' newspaper!

This used to be one of the most clever, entertaining columns in the Maroon News. However, over the years it is clear that the quality has gone down.. And this semester, the column seems like nothing more than a joke written by bitter, and frankly, crass individuals. Just for the record, I would like to point out that one of these outspoken male authors actually attended a cheerleading tryout his freshman year.
The double entendres have lost all zest, and the blanket sexual references play out like scum. As for these ladies, whether or not you think they are the most attractive females on campus, please know your negative critique is just the reason why women particularly at this school have issues with body image or eating disorders, yet the Maroon News is allowing an article with such a harsh comment to run. I'm disgusted. Thanks a lot for the read. This just officially became trash. And yeah, spelling errors count :)

Not Anonymous: Please don't throw stones in glass houses. You clearly don't have a grasp of third grade grammar judging by your lack of knowledge of when to use a singular or plural possessive pronoun.
Anonymous, the Editing God: Please go back to your hole. If you know so much about writing and editing, contribute to the paper instead of anonymously bashing the work of students.
As for the column, while I appreciate the MTC authors' humor (most of the time), this might be more suited for the Monthly Rag. It is kind of odd to see in the newspaper.

I think they pointed out editing mistakes because some of us would like to have a school paper that isn't just sloppily written blogarrhea. Is it too much to ask for a school paper without an error in every other sentence? I'm glad they said it.

This thing goes to print, so some poor trees give their carbon-sequestering lives up for this tripe. If there is a tree god, this punishment must be their tree hell.

That Maroon News should be ashamed for publishing such crap. There's a difference between free speech and just being total jerks.

You neglected to fully capitalize "Winter game". The web site you mentioned is "Chatroulette", not "Chat Roulette". The skating term you were looking for is "axel", not "axle". Why is "Gold" capitalized at the end?

The editing of this paper is almost as bad as the writing. The content choices are definitely worse than both. All your parents paid $40,000 a year for prep school and college, for this?

Finally, good job knocking the cheerleaders. You clearly have chosen a much more valuable way to spend your time here.
