The Thing
Last night a group of DA's (Dining Attendants) gathered in the lounge of my dorm to watch John Carpenter's The Thing made in 1982. (There is an even older version filmed in black and white from 1951 by the same name.)
If you have seen this movie or decide to watch it, please do not believe anything you see here. There are no DA's on roller-skates. We do not have gun cabinets, nor do we have access to flame-throwers (that I know of). Our ECW gear does not include the sideways cowboy hat Kurt Russell wears. The movie is supposed to be scary, but as people living in Antarctica, we just can't help but laugh at this film. Check it out if you've got some time...

I saw the one made in 1951 in a class I had. The Thing made its own centrifuge to power some kind of nuclear jetpack, but alas, they were foiled be the DAs and their infernal flame thrower.
Hey Katie!!! So cool that you're living in Antarctica! How many people are there? My friend Larisa Kimble from Colorado is there. Have you met her? Is that a really stupid question? Hope you're doing well!!!
