Keep Entertaining Us, Oh Crazy Hyped Up Girl!

The buzz around the watercooler here at Nuts In NY Plaza today has been this report filed by Ashley Tiffany-Amber yesterday. Just the kind of wackiness that gets folks here talking, some fine nut gathering.

Ashley writes:

I am a graduate student at New York University… In one class, there is a crazy girl. She talks so much. Every class… she just sounds a bit hyped up on coffee. Or speed. Everything she says is frantic, complete with hand gestures and bobbing (in and out of her seat). She comes off as oddly excited and inquisitive…

Remember in high school when taking standardized tests? Students would always ask about how to fill in bubbles? Even though, for the most part, it is self-explanatory? She asks questions like that. And then asks for oh-so-much clarification. On everything…

The teacher…listens politely and is neither dismissive nor, you know, interested in what she is saying. She hasn’t, as of yet, been so irritating that students hate her because while she sounds moderately insane, she limits herself to 1-2 bursts per class… Either people really don’t mind, or they are polite enough not to snicker when she speaks. I think it is a little of both. Until last class…

Professor was explaining something, using an example, but not saying who’s paper it was in order to be polite. Crazy girl started asking questions. Then said to us, “Just so you know, it’s my paper he’s talking about.”

To which our professor responds, “I didn’t want to embarrass you.”

Crazy assures him, “You’re not embarrassing me,” and continues, while the student next to me whispers, “No, she is doing fine on her own.”

Crazy continues to argue that her paper was clear, etc., etc., and “I think you should read it again,” offering her assignment back to the teacher.

At the end of her frenzied protest, she apologized to the class, as she was taking up our time with her individual concern. However, I gathered from the class’s general reaction to her that we all thought what she did was very much worth our time with its entertainment value…

Thanks to Ashley for the keen reportage, for acting as our eyes and ears at NYU, and for finding such a perfect nut!

Lather, Rinse, Repeat, Infinity…

This NYU student is a nut right up our own alley here at Nuts in NY Plaza… We believe her when she tells us the following on the About page of her blog:

My name is Nicole. I am a student at New York University, and sometimes, when I’m showering, I forget whether I’ve shampooed my hair or not, so I’ll do it, but then I’ll remember that I already did, so my hair just ends up clean to the point of unhealthiness.

Not to mention it’s a good excuse to include a photo of a babe taking a shower!…

Last Chance Freakshow

NYU Local informs us that this weekend will be the last chance of the season to experience the freakshow at Coney Island. Linda Leseman writes, “What better way to bid the summer of 2008 goodbye than with a stroll through this collection of living oddities? It’s potentially thrilling… and definitely cheap!”

The Coney Island website offers this description of sword swallower Heather Holliday:

A practicing Mormon, Heather was struck twice by lightning as a young girl growing up in Utah. While this had a profound effect on her faith, she also discovered she had the ability to absorb tremendous amounts of electricity, which bled off her fingertips, or even her tongue. As she struggled with her new talent, she performed dangerous electro-pyrotechnic tricks in the seedy Salt Lake City underground club scene to save enough money to enroll in Coney Island USA’s Sideshow School, the only place that could teach her to harness her talents. Graduating in good standing, Heather now performs her amazing acts on our stage, and at 19, is the youngest female sword swallower in the world…Heather is 5’3”, 110 lbs with blonde, red and black hair, dark eyes. Body modifications include small black tattoos TK, a number of discreet piercings and a nose ring. Costumes include Young Hipster, Golden Bikini, Retro Nightclub.

(Or as we call her here in Williamsburg, “ANYONE”!)

10 live acts and attractions total; other sideshow cast members include Insectavora, Donny Vomit, Serpentina, and Scott Baker the Twisted Shockmeister.
