Ever walked into a room and caught the tail end of a very awkward conversation?

Ever walked past someone who is talking too loudly and stupidly?

Ever had a friend on campus say the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard?

So have we.

The Kernel is pleased to announce the creation of a new column, The Cat’s Meow, which will highlight the best, worst and funniest of UK student quotes.

This column will be written by UK students who tweet, email or post what they hear through our media outlets.

The best will be featured in the printed column, which will run every other Tuesday.

What makes the cut?

We refer you to sites like textsfromlastnight.com or fmylife.com, where the following gems were written:

“You kept me hostage in your driveway until you got your point across that Alaska has warm weather.” (textsfromlastnight.com)

“I tackled a mailbox like a linebacker. He almost broke his hip and his friend lit a bottle rocket off inside of the car. Yes, it was a successful night.” (textsfromlastnight.com)

“Today, I found out how it feels when a refrigerator door unhinges and falls on your toes.” (fmylife.com)

This column needs your participation to be a success.

If you hear something that deserves spreading, tweet at us with #catsmeow.

You can also email us at [email protected].

We will also be running a stream on our website and the Kentucky Kernel Facebook page.

See you on Tuesdays.
