Garrett Cryder undeclared freshman

Freshman wants to fill a pool with money, ÷ a pool of M&Ms would cause a melted mess

Wildcat: So my name's Nathan and you're on the spot. This is a drive-by "On the Spot" actually. How does it feel to be driven by on campus? You thought you were all safe.

Cryder: Yeah, it was kind of unexpected.

Wildcat: That's what I'm talking about. Earlier today, I was sitting on a green couch, just thinking about ÷ what's that, you know those Disney characters? Uncle Scrooge, is that his name? The duck that's rich and he has three nephews.

Cryder: He jumps in the money.

Wildcat: Yeah! He jumps in the money. That's exactly what came to my mind. If you had an empty pool and you could fill it with anything, what would you fill it with?

Cryder: Shit, money would be good.

Wildcat: Actually, that didn't even cross my mind. I thought of like, M&Ms.

Cryder: M&Ms?

Wildcat: You remember in the old days, those McDonald's balls?

Cryder: Oh yeah. Those big ball pits. Sure.

Wildcat: Heck yeah. You could tell after a McDonald's has been in business for a few years; those balls started to smell.

Cryder: So you were sitting on your couch, your green couch, and you were thinking about filling up a pool with M&Ms this morning?

Wildcat: I didn't think about M&Ms. I was thinking about the Scrooge guy and I don't know. · I think it would be fun to jump into something solid, but that you could still kind of sink into and it wouldn't kill you. Maybe I'd like a 3-foot pool. That way if I went to the bottom of it, I wouldn't drown.

Cryder: That's true. I don't think you'd go to the bottom, dude. I think you'd just stay on top.

Wildcat: I think you could dig in.

Cryder: Sure you could dig in, but you'd smash them all up and stuff and then it would all just turn into melted chocolate anyway. Then you'd be swimming in it.

Wildcat: Man, what a pessimist.
