I belong to DAL’s rival school, and seriously. They play Quiddich.

What bugs me the most is that they’re all like “look at us! We’re a school for geeks!” It’s a marketing ploy that makes me mad because my school didn’t come up with it first.

I also thought “loser” when I read it. But after searching the Dalhousie site for Quidditch info, I was surprised to learn that (a) many schools have competitive clubs and (b) Dalhousie academics and students have created a variation of Quidditch that could be played by paraplegics.

Bully for them — even though they stole some of my snark!

Dude. You are obviously too old. Harry Potter was the series of a generation. A generation MUCH YOUNGER THAN US. I would totally join this if it was at Crazy Go Nuts now. As Dave says, there would be more girls than at your Star Trek shindig or at any D&D marathon. And I say this with love Joey…you know I have love for you. Generation. Gap.

You people are all haters! There’s nothing wrong with muggles obsessed with HP joining in on the action Joey – if I showed Joan this post she very well may devour you.

Don’t you think it’s a joke? Like “Dude, we have so many activity clubs, we even have Quidditch, which doesn’t even exist!”

And yes, this club does seem to have more hotties than your Star Trek club.

Thank you for posting exactly what I thought when I saw that ad.

And I didn’t even know CGNU had Star Trek club, I might’ve had a longer stay there had I known

True. However…

All things considered, I suspect this club has a much higher female/male ratio than the Star Trek club might ever have. So joining it might (let’s face it: *does*) make you a loser, but at least it keeps your chances of getting laid somewhat higher than joining the Club for Peace&Prosperity…

I think I feel fortunate that I had to resort to google to find out what Quidditch was, but now I have another thing in my “that cannot be unseen” file.
