Subject: bennies?

in response to what we shoud call us armchair people, i guess i kind of
object to the name bennie.  i go to a small all male university in the
middle of central minnesota - st. johns university - we have shared
classes with a small all female college in the middle of central
minnesota - st. benedict.  the common terminology for the women of st.
bens is bennies - this often references the big ugly cows of the
nigboring farms as well.  its almost kind of degrading to be called a
bennie.  might i suggest alternate names?  how about "walters" or
"franks kids" or "biff(er)s" or "ben heads"  - just a few ideas.  i dont
know.  im mostly just kinda bored right now.  sorry if i took up too
much space or offended anyone.

	Sometimes I wish they lived out here
	But they wouldn't dig this town
