Ah, To Be Young and Hate Ketchup
Decatur Metro | February 28, 2010 | 8:01 pmA sampling from the newly discovered Emory Police Beat blog, which I highly recommend adding to your feed reader.
…On Feb. 21, EPD officers responded to the Clairmont Campus field and located several white male subjects taking turns hitting ketchup bottles with wood. EPD officers observed that the subjects had glassy eyes, an odor of alcohol on their person and that their speech was slurred. Officers also discovered a large amount of debris near Clairmont Tower, including pizza boxes, a chair, balloons, a fire extinguisher and glass alcohol bottles.
The report continues here…

I’m fine with ketchup, but I have no patience for catsup.
I had a ketchup packet fight once in college. We all dressed as Majestic Diner waitresses for a Halloween party and had lots of condiment packages in our pockets. We finally reached a state of mind that we thought that we’d use them as weapons. We also had malted vinegar packets. It was not pretty.
In my day, the Emory Wheel would have run this police beat column with an alliterative headline. Something like “Campus Cops Cite Cockeyed, Catsup-Covered Collegians on Clairmont Campus.”
Scott – with your lack of patience for “catsup,” you’re welcome to submit a K version.
