Seymour 2

Seymour Hall's second floor is home to as many as 31 first-year Knox College men. It smells terrible up there. Their RA encourages them to be reckless.

In previous school years, the floor was called the Deuce.

Antics

The 2006-07 men of Seymour 2 are notorious for their antics. A significant percentage of these men are expected to live together in Conger/Neal Hall in 2007-08.

Team Zissou

The Life Aquatic is a great movie. The men of Seymour 2 replicated in great detail for Halloween. Then they all got drunk! More will be added to this shortly.

Box Fort

The Box Fort

Did you know that you can order shipping boxes from the United States Postal Sevice for free? Did you know that you can order as many as you want, say... well over 500 of them? During Winter Term of 2007, that's just what the men of Seymour 2 did. They constucted bookcases, many short-lived weapons, a robot (see below), and a box fort. The box fort was built in sections during the week, and on a Friday early in the term was hauled out to the Post Lawn at dusk, where it was fitted together and given a Communist flag for a door. The men of Seymour 2 are not Godless Commies (for the most part), they just happened to have a Communist Flag. Almost everyone in attendance had toy guns, which were used to harrass by-passers, and also to conduct raids on the C-Store for delicious hot chocolate. It was cold outside.

The Fort at night.

Eventually, the fort was moved wholesale to outside the Caf, where it would be fully visible to people in the Gizmo. This was because having a bivouac full of Seymour men outside of Post scared all the girls inside, and the fort was failing to garner enough attention. It also didn't help that people who did notice were treated as foreign invaders. Eventually, it got way way to cold to keep hanging out in a structure made of cardboard and duct tape. The fort was abandoned to the masses of Knox College on a Friday night, with the sad realization it would probably be destroyed. As late as midnight, however, the structure was still standing, and had even been decorated with old Halloween decorations and drawings of naked people. But within the next hour it was gone. Seymour 3 knocked it over. This was the start of beef. Ugly beef. Being the upstanding men they are, Seymour 2 residents cleaned up the scattered wreckage and disposed of it properly.

Don't worry, there'll be more of these things next year. And they'll be bigger.

Seymour Defender

For the full article see Seymour Defender. Alternativley, see drink.

The Seymour Defender is a robot that defends the residents of Seymour 2 in Seymour Hall. Contrary to popular belief, he is not named after Seymour Hall, but instead after Lyman K. Seymour, the alumnus for which Seymour Union is also named. Seymour Defender was constructed in the winter term of the 2006-07 school year by the residents of Seymour 2. His original design was to function as a defense robot for all of Seymour Hall.

Deuces Wild

Millions of years ago, back when Seymour 2 was called the Deuce, the residents formed a dodgeball team known as Deuces Wild. In the 2007 Winter Term, the men of Seymour 2 also formed an intermural dodgeball team called Deuces Wild, because they couldn't come up with anything better on their own. The members consisted of anyone who was around when it was time for a game. They lost nearly every single match... except maybe one, by sheer luck. Still, they had a cool logo, which was going to go on a t-shirt. Unfortunatley, the men of Seymour 2 are lazy, and it never happened. It's still a cool image though.

Flunk Day Paint Fight

Paint Warrior

As if water-ballooning Friars in the morning wasn't enough, on Flunk Day, the men of Seymour 2 & Friends organized a paint fight on the lawn outside Post. For many of them, it was the highlight of the day. Upon seeing the paint-splattered faces and clothes of the participants, many asked if it was an school organized even they missed out on. Actually, it is an event, the "Carnival of Colors". But apparently that was just for Friars, which is a shame because a lot of people would have liked to throw paint around recklessly instead of huff oxygen. (Wink wink, nudge nudge, Union Board). The paint fight was not without casualties, however. Some participants did not have protective eyewear, and got paint bombs right to the face. For one students, this was the third time that day his eyes were full of nasty crap, the first time being in the Mud Pit, and the second time in the Foam Pit. Flunk Day was harsh on his eyes, goddamnit.
