As a member of the class of 2004 (HA!) I personally have no problem

What the hell are you talking about? You have the opportunity to unite
whenever you feel like it. Unite tonight in Killian Court if you love

"We gon' get you united tonight! 'Cause it's Friday, you ain't got no
job, and you ain't got shit to do!"
