    “…THIS is how you kick a shooooh shit.”

    Also, I love how they make the exact same face when launching their shoes.

    MADE FOR EACH OTHER.

      That is the mandatory professional shoe launching face. They could lose points off their final score if they fail to make it.

      Well, for one, Ruth is already known for being a terrible beast of an RA.
      And two, I doubt Walky’s supposed to be there, since it’s the girl’s floor and he is a dude.

        Not to nitpick, but aren’t they gender-segregated by “girls’ half of hallway” and “boys’ half of hallway”?

            Well at Humboldt State theres two building each in the shape of an “L.” One wing of the L’s are meant for the men and the other for women, so the buldings are coed but the wings are seperated by sex.

            She coulda been riding the elevator in the mens wing of the building, if thats how these dorms work.

      I think that’s “Let your feet fly flags.” Which, without shoes, I suppose they can do now, clutching the little sticks betwixt the toes.
