Girl: Don’t eat that, it looks like plastic Styrofoam.

Guy: I happen to like plastic Styrofoam.

Girl: Well, I like raccoons but I wouldn’t shove them down my throat.

 

 

Girl 1: Just because you’ve had sex more times than me doesn’t mean you’re my elder, it just means you’re a frickin’ whore!

Girl 2: Cucumber and sperm are so different.

 

 

 

 

Hey Voicebox. I just want to tell you that Seamus Wolfe just waited on my table at 1848. And you know what? Brittany Smyth would never do a single day of work for any student. Ever. I just wanna say that and you should know that if you don’t tip the bartender, Michael Jackson touches another child. That’s important. OK. Aight [HI VOICEBOX] and hope you have a great St. Patty’s Day. Good night.

 

 

There’s something unusual about Ryan Lux. Maybe it’s that more than two years ago, he suddenly lost his ability to walk. Or that his paralysis led to ski bumming in B.C. that same winter. Or maybe it’s that he starts the whole story with a laugh and, “Oh, that happened a while ago!”

 

Lux, 21, and now a third-year journalism student at Carleton, tells his story like that of a good night out.
