As Lent begins, many in the PBA Community enter into a time of fasting and preparation Easter.To remember the season, PBA Central has chosen to give up Spider Solitaire and Duke Nukem during work hours.
For the next 40 days, PBA Central computers will be free of 13 card sequence and 3-D shooting games.
"We want to start things off right," said Josh Foot on Wednesday, as he poured ash into the office filing cabinets and desk drawers filled with student transcripts.
"I don't even want to think about gravity guns," he added, "and trust me, around here there is a lot of time to think."
Many students are eager to turn in forms and documents to a more focused and efficient PBA Central. However, some sources feel that the absence of virtual aggression may turn physical.
Staff Sullivan has already constructed a real life laser shrink ray device and electrolyzed an entire shelf of NCAA eligibility forms.
Other groups around campus have chosen also to sacrifice certain aspects of everyday life.
Safety and Security officers gave up Jazzman's Smoothies.
The Basketball team gave up winning.
Student Development gave up empire building.
The Newman Club gave up Catholicism.
The Theater department gave up their theater.
The school president gave up text messaging........ on Tuesdays and Saturdays from seven a.m. through two p.m.
Now two days into Lent, some PBA Central workers begin to feel the extent of their sacrifice.
"My fingers are getting antsy," said William Oldman while closing his eyes, cradling an invisible rocket launcher to his bow-tie.
Whatever the effects, the valiant efforts of PBA Central are to be commended.

Well done bacon. Another classic. And for discussions sake, can people please use the "nickname" feature so that we don't have to refer to all the anonymouses.
I wouldn't have survived my job at PBA Central without Spider Solitaire. Godspeed, PBA Central employees.
"The basketball team gave up winning." Classic.
"Student Development gave up empire building"

One person on campus is in charge of all these departments.
It's a bit much, don't you think?
I'll give up the Beacon ...
actually, that list is pretty normal. check out our hallowed gardner webb. minus the FYE thing, their student life link has all that and more
The Honors program gave up scholarships.
Actually, it was the Mass the Newman Club gave up.
actually, it was the common ground I gave up
sailfish jack,
Your intestines will thank you.
student development staffer... I agree with you...it is a bit much. Sounds like a someone in leadership has MAJOR control issues. Glad I left my position when I did.
lol good one
Student Development is in charge of all of those things because Allen and Debora McEniry (sp?) left. Allen was "temporarily" in charge of just about everything on campus.
It's just my impression, but I don't think MAS was asking to be in charge of all of that. I could be wrong though.
Missing the Mold...MAS was not happy that she didn't have control over a lot of these areas, especially S&S. You should have seen all of the memos, emails, and not-so-subtle hints that she should be over S&S when Allen McEniry was here. I remember that D. Byrd would laugh when she called all frantic over something silly, like the monkey at chapel. when he got back to his office, he and the monkey had a few laughs and water until the great MAS arrived on scene and whisked poor Mr. LeGore away and dismissed D. Byrd from attending. Oh, the arguments that ensued! Now, she's happy...next stop is the President's seat...wait...is that "Hail to the Chief" I hear wafting from her office window?
Well still around..., it sounds like you know more details than I do. My experiences with MAS have so far been rather limited (and for that I am most grateful).
Since it sounds like you have personal experience in the matter, I will consider myself corrected. Thank you for the information.
Missing the mold...consider yourself BLESSED! I may still be around per se, but no longer a part of the PBA community due to the fact I saw the "writing on the wall" and chose to leave. Just be safe, and pray that PBA will follow Psalm 118:8, intead of their own agenda. God bless!
I wasn't playing duke nukem I was playing Halo.
