I also love the idea of people being allowed to help her carry the mattress, a physical demonstration of their support. In the perfect world, she'll never walk alone.

Can you please explain the lazy comment? I mean, no one has to like it since it is subjective (and I find performance art like this to be pretty damn subjective), and I totally get the boring angle...it's not like watching someone carrying a mattress around is scintillating in any way. But physically it's the OPPOSITE…

As she's an art major, it goes without saying that the subject matter will always be subjective - that's what art is. But I'd wager a guess that you didn't hear her out on the 3 minute video. Gal pal is really thoughtful, poignant, descriptive & creative. She's thought this through about what the project will entail.…

Troll fail, if you ask me.

Are you thinking that the senior class project is entirely composed of dragging a mattress around campus? I watched the video (did you?), there appears to be several components to the project. Plus, she said shes a visual arts major. Do you expect her to write a 50 page paper on the ramifications of the industrial…

I'm kind of curious what you did your thesis on — either undergrad or grad.

Post it here — let's see this marvel.

Good thing no one asked you.

I don't think so at all. The physical burden of the mattress is strenuous, sure. But think of how walking in with a mattress will disrupt every class she goes to. How much room it takes up in an elevator. How it will slow/block traffic on a stairwell. Hell, how many people will be made uncomfortable by asking…

She's already suffering. Now people will have to witness it in a more tangible way.

Pinochle. Rock on old dude in a young dude's body—my son has that same thing going on. Huzzah!

I think the man he was with in the first news broadcast is his grandpa. Perhaps he spends quite a bit of time with him and has taken on his delivery. One of my brothers did this with our grandpa and (apparently—I wasn't born yet) it was hilarious. He even deepened his voice, walked around with an unlit corncob pipe in…

I love this kid so much.

That was my thought too! He must spend a lot of time with his grandpa bc he sounds like such a sweet elder man. I can see him down at the corner store sipping coffee, playing peanuckle (spelling) with his guy friends and chatting about the storm that is apparently supposed to be coming.

I thought his "It's like being in a thousand drops of heaven" line was even better than the "apparently"s. Laughed my ass off.

I learned after looking up tubgirl a few years ago.

You typed that, so I had to look. And now I wish I had listened to you.
