Get ready for a "Superbad" day

     The Class of 2010 will be presenting a "Superbad" Day with themed activities and viewing of the movie "Superbad" on Sunday, May 4^th in a free event for everyone on campus.

      "Superbad" Day is an afternoon loaded with activities based on the hit comedy  "Superbad". The events will begin at 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 4^th. Several events are planned for the day including a grill-off, a trivia contest, an obstacle course, and the showing of the movie "Superbad" on an inflatable screen on the softball field.

     "We've been working really hard on this and it should be  nice afternoon/evening," said class of 2010 president Will Clark.

     The movie will be shown at 8 p.m. The inflatable screen is close to 18 feet in height. Clark said that they are attempting to get snacks for the viewing, such as popcorn.

     The grill-off will be held throughout the day. Anything can be cooked, registration is free and the prize for the winning grill master is a $50 Visa gift card. Grilling can begin at anytime but registration of grillers will be taken at 2:30 p.m. and the judges will come around between 4:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. to declare a winner.

     While the grill-off is going on, there will also be the "Superbad" trivia contest, obstacle course, and a table handing out free Frisbees. The "Superbad" trivia contest will begin at 3 p.m. and will challenge participants' knowledge of  "Superbad."  A copy of "Superbad"on DVD is the winning prize.

     The "Superbad" obstacle course will resemble the run the character Seth took in the movie after stealing beer from the party. Contestants will have to carry two loaded containers of laundry detergent through a gauntlet of recognizable obstacles, including a tent. The individual with the fastest time will also win a copy of  "Superbad" on DVD.

      In honor of one of the movie's most standout character, McLovin, there will be a table where students will be able to get an "authentic" fake McLovin I.D. with their picture on it. Clark is even looking into allowing students to be able to choose their own one-word name instead of "McLovin".

     "We just want people to come out and hang out together even if they don't participate in events. It's our last Sunday before finals," said Clark.

     Clark has been fighting for this event since SGA budget meetings were held in the fall semester and was excited to see it come together. When Clark, a freshmen area community assistant, told his hall about "Superbad" Day, the reactions were varied.

     "It's just going to prolong people going around obnoxiously quoting the movie like they did for movies like 'Borat' and 'Napoleon Dynamite'," proclaimed freshman Steve Flynn,. However, his roommate, Ian McGinnes, had a different opinion about "Superbad" Day.

      "Superbad" Day is going to be gnar. On second thought, it's going to be gnarkill,” said McGinnes.
