CORNER OF 15TH AVENUE AND HIGH STREET (WEXNER CENTER SIDE)Dave: Outside of The Spot Bar on a Thursday night, this is the best spot on campus.

Jason: Well, I’m not dying of suffocation here, so I’d have to say this is better, Dave.

Dave: If you’re lucky enough to be standing right here at about 20 minutes after the hour, you will never see so many hot girls. This is the hot girl capital of the United States of America. OSU included.

Jason: Dave, let’s try to keep our focus here. We wanted to do a “Conversation” outside the confines of the newsroom, but we’ve got to keep it inside the confines of sports.

Dave: You know, we haven’t mentioned hockey yet in a “Conversation.”

Jason: There, we mentioned it. Moving on.

Dave: I’ll tell you where I’m not moving on from. This spot. I’ve never seen so many hot girls in my life.

Jason: You’re going on about this even more than I would expect.

Dave: Jason, you know that if I get onto a topic, I ain’t letting go of it until you claw it away from my cold dead hands. And if you don’t know me by now, you will never never, never know me. No, you won’t.

Jason: We’ve all got our own funny moods.

Dave: I’ve got mine. Woman, you’ve got yours too.

Jason: Dave, I know you’d never lie to me. But there’s something shady about you I’ve always wondered about. You claim to love the 1980s like no other decade, particularly for the Reagan revolution and the music, yet you also love the Cleveland Indians. And the Indians absolutely sucked in the ’80s, in all honesty.

Dave: You can’t go wrong with Reagan. And you can’t go wrong with the Indians. I’ve actually uncovered a conspiracy 21 years in the making as to why the Indians performed less-than-stellar in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Jason: Bad pitching? Terrible stadium? Cory Snyder’s mullet?

Dave: How sweet were Cory Snyder’s blonde locks, though? But in all honesty, if you look at the state of music in 1980 and the state of music in 2001, you will see a progression for the worse. Along that same time frame the Indians have been getting progressively better. So as much as I would love to see Tears for Fears, Simply Red and Mister Mister return to stardom, I can not advocate it. For it is as if music gets better as the Indians get worse.

Jason: At least for me, the Chicago White Sox pretty much always suck, no matter what the state of music at the time.

Dave: Bad music to these ears is the sound emanating from Yankee Stadium seemingly every October. Loud, obnoxious New Yorkers celebrating another World Championship.

Jason: Those Damn Yankees.

Dave: Jason, we don’t need to talk about it, anymore. Yesterday’s just a memory. Can we close the door?

Jason: I just made one mistake. I didn’t know what to say when you called me baby. Don’t say goodnight. Say you’re going to stay forever. Woah-oh, woah-oh.

Dave: Mann, all the hot girls on 15th and High. Aren’t they wonderful?

Lantern editor Jason Mann, who can be reached at [email protected], hopes at least one person gets this column. Lantern sports editor Dave O’Neil, who can be reached at [email protected], wants to go back to the corner of 15th and High as soon as possible. Both will continue to recycle ’80s music jokes for as long as possible.
