<p>the bigthree bonfire takes place when princeton's football team beats both Harvard and Yale. Thus this feat is celebrated by constructing a bonfire and burning effigies of John Harvard and Yale bulldog!
So does anyone know when it last took place? hopefully we'll be witnessing one during our stay!</p>
<p>savage and primitive sport fans rites... </p>
<p>...whaever....</p>
<p>i hope so too! what fun :D</p>
<p>Hasn't Harvard won for the past 9 years and Yale the past 14 or somesuch ridiculous numbers?</p>
<p>hmmm....but we werent there at princeton for the past 14 years.... ;)</p>
<p>btw (hate to start another thread for this...) but any advice/suggestion for laptop/computer?? current students....is it better to buy it from pton store or buy it from dell.com etc....???</p>
<p>I know there have been big long computer threads (maybe in the main forum), look back a couple pages and there should be tons of answers</p>
<p>pton store > dell.com</p>
<p>i think the last bonfire was in the mid 90s</p>
<p>1994</p>
<p>10 chars</p>
<p>lets hope there's one in 2006!</p>
<p>Harvard could have had bonfires for the last four years in a row - if it bothered with such things!</p>
<p>i'm so glad princeton bothers with such things : ).</p>
<p>mea: why?!</p>
<p>cmon now, these are the type of things that make our college life fun adn interesting, who would want a life with only studies?</p>
<p>aww pav, why not :D? it's nothing serious....just a chance to get fired up and spirited and tradition-y. But sure, I get that the idea isn't comfortable for some people --> totally fine : )</p>
<p>I think it's a brilliant idea! More power to us!</p>
<p>burn mwahahaha! burn them all!</p>
