[PFOHO] Folklore and Weird Humanities Table: Internet Memes II, Tuesday 6:00-7:00

by Frim, Daniel

Dear Residents of Pforzheimer House, Have you ever longed to get a PhD in the study of funky words printed over funky images? Have you ever wondered why Harvard doesn't have a concentration in memetic studies? [image: 3nqbdp.jpg] If so (or even if not), please join us for a Folkloristics and Weird Humanities Table devoted again, by popular demand, to the analysis of Internet memes. We will be meeting in the Moors 1 classroom from 6:00 to 7:00 on Tuesday. Please feel free to bring dinner from the dining hall; BerryLine frozen yogurt will be served for dessert. Also, please send us all of your favorite memes, which will form the basis for our discussion on Tuesday. We look forward to seeing you there. -Daniel and Makinde _______________________________________________ Pfoho-announce mailing list Pfoho-announce(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu To unsubscribe from this list or get other information: https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/pfoho-announce

[PFOHO] PFOHO PFORAY: SNOW TUBING!

by Harrington, Anne

[Image result for polar bear snow tubing] On Saturday afternoon, February 8, a bus will be departing from Pfoho at about 12:00pm for the Nashoba Valley snow tubing park. You want to be on that bus! Snow tubing is a winter activity that requires NO SKILLS AT ALL. You get into giant inner tubes and you hang on as the tube glides, sails, or bumps (depending on preference and conditions) down steep or (if you prefer) less steep groomed snow trails. Sometimes people make chains of tubes. Sometimes people fall off and laugh. Snow banks on each side ensure you stay in lane. Once you are at the bottom of the hill, a “magic carpet” ski lift takes you back to the top. Nashoba Valley's snow tubing park has 18 different snow trails and two lifts. There is a hot beverage and snack bar on the premises. We will snow tube from around 2-4pm. The weather is forecast to be sunny and not too cold. You will then have a chance to get some hot chocolate if you like, and we will have you back at Pfoho by 5:30 at the latest. Dress for snow play (parka or ski jacket, snow pants or jeans with an underlining of long underwear, boots, waterproof gloves or mittens). Sign up here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_forms_…> by Wednesday, February 6, if you want to come. The House is covering the cost for this event (snow tubing tickets, transportation and hot chocolate). You may want to bring a little money for extra snacks. We are able to take 45 students (the number that we can accommodate on the bus). We expect we will be able to find room for everyone who wants to come (we did last year). See you on the snow! You all on February 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpGK4SjpuGY _______________________________________________ Pfoho-announce mailing list Pfoho-announce(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu To unsubscribe from this list or get other information: https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/pfoho-announce
