The Yale Christmas Penis Brings Holiday Cheer to All Who Cross Its Path
'Tis the season for many things, including giant electric penises.
A tipster writes in:
Last night, between 10pm and 3am, the freshmen of the Ezra Stiles college at Yale constructed a massive christmas light penis on the front of Lawrance as a response to the traditional christmas light "JE SUX" written across the front of Farnum, the adjacent dorm. The penis was estimated to be about 100 feet long, and even sported multi-colored, blinking ejaculate. The penis will ostensibly remain on Lawrance through the end of finals (next week)."
Argh! All this Yale geography is confusing me! I think the point is that ever since Father Time first came around, Yale students have been writing "JE SUX" on one of their buildings to the chagrin of other Yale students. Thankfully the war has apparently escalated into an epic battle of electric penises, which is far more satisfying for the rest of us.
After the jump: the electric penis ejaculates all over Harvard. More pictures.

when you want them?

In the past, when Stiles put in “Balls,” JE has turned their lights into “JE > U” as a response, too.
December 12th, 2007 at 12:49 pm
last year stiles put up “NUTS” and then just “U S” i couldn’t tell if that was intentional or if the N and the T suite had become tired of it. other news:
Morse, boringly, just spelled out MORSE across their five entryways and Pierson cleverly designed a light configuration to look like the Pierson crest.

colleges that suck: davenport and bk, who can only think to put up “DC” and “BK”

1. It’s “Farnam”.
2. Last year, when JE put up “JE SUX”, Stiles put up “NUTS” and JE took down “SUX”. Therefore, Farnam was labeled as “JE”, and Stiles was labeled as “NUTS”.

Plans changed from BALLS to a giant penis 10 minutes before the operation began. The other idea that was toyed with was putting SAVEX over Lawrance. Since the JE kids don’t understand proper spacing, JE SUX can be read as “JESUX.” “JESUX SAVEX” may have offended the administration, unlike a giant penis ejaculating all over a college dedicated to some evangelical.

JE SUX ES NUTS
December 12th, 2007 at 4:21 pm
yes, now that you remind me, that was what it said.
December 12th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
even our dean loves it.
December 12th, 2007 at 5:14 pm
this christmas light tradition was started 4 years ago, by davenporters. it is by no means a JE thing.
December 12th, 2007 at 5:30 pm
is je sux?
December 12th, 2007 at 5:47 pm
congrats to yale, for some sort intra-house rivalry that nobody who lives outside of the projects has any clue or care for.

There, there, harv09. We all know you’re depressed from having to attend the anus of all colleges. Have another cry, you’ll feel better.
December 12th, 2007 at 6:32 pm
anus? you guys probably got rejected from harvard
December 12th, 2007 at 6:50 pm
i’m columbia ‘07 and even i know that jonathan edwards it the douchiest of colleges. i thought at first it was timothy dwight, but was corrected by a yalie in a drunken knife-fight at dawn.
but lads, why must we fight. princeton is the true enemy of mankind.
December 12th, 2007 at 6:57 pm
yes, and because you care so little, youre reading and commenting about it on ivygate
December 12th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
we thought about making it say JE SUX Harvard (image of penis), but it wouldn’t have translated well because it’s hard to make a 2-inch penis out of Christmas lights.
December 12th, 2007 at 8:42 pm
maybe it’s finals or maybe it’s just me, but i’m so confused. is this some kind of jesus-penis joke that my plebeian penn mind can’t comprehend?
December 12th, 2007 at 10:17 pm
I am in JE and think we deserve the bad credit we are getting. Why the fuck would we choose the motto JE Sux, we were asking for this…
December 12th, 2007 at 10:44 pm
Someone in JE: you’re a damn traitor. Go transfer to Pierson or something, maybe their motto is more your style. P is for the P in Pierson College! I is for the I in Pierson College! E is for the…

the origin of je sux: http://www.jonathanedwardscollege.com/about#Our%20Motto:%20JE%20SUX!
while this whole thing may seem absurd to those of you at harvard, we actually have college pride. its the little shit like this that enhances our already awesome college experiences…

Your old “sex on campus” post is on the front page of Digg.com, fyi. Let’s hope this server can handle the load if it reaches the top 10. Also, DONE WITH FINALS, WOOOOOOOOOOO!

Started four years ago my ass, DPort. JE Sux has lit up Farnam like a cheap whore since last century. Don’t flatter yourself and go fetch me some coffee.
December 13th, 2007 at 10:17 am
The Pierson one last year really was impressive. And I would’ve preferred JESUX SAVEX, actually.
As far as Harvard goes, having now attended both (after choosing Yale the first time around): Harv08, my friend, you don’t know how wrong you were. This is one of the saddest campuses I’ve ever had the misfortune of seeing, let alone attending.
December 13th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
a tradition defunct is a tradition lost, my friend. DPort, I think, can claim this one.
p.s. I can only imagine your creative rhetoric has gotten you far in the workplace post-graduation. i would remind you, though, that you graduated from middle school many years ago, now.
December 13th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Hardly a lost tradition – JE’s lights have consistently been the brightest on old campus. DPort’s have never come close.
last year the JE SUX was much brighter – ten strand thick, baby.
December 13th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
you are too young to remember, but it *was* lost until 2004, when intrepid DPorters revived it, and were promptly imitated by all the other colleges–including JE.
December 13th, 2007 at 5:24 pm
All began at 90 York Square Place in 2004 with a giant blue and white display.
December 14th, 2007 at 5:43 am
i personally wanted to draw a picture of a penis ejaculating a thunderbolt for the BK thundercocks, but that was met with half-hearted murmurs of too great a difficulty to accomplish. I then simply wanted to do the BK shield, which was also shot down due to difficulty. So we ended up with a BK. it kinda sux.
on a related note, ALL FRESHMAN IN OLD CAMPUS— STOP COMING TO BK TO EAT. WE’RE OUT OF SEATS AND FOOD B/C OF YOU
December 14th, 2007 at 7:44 am
These young’uns. No sense of history.
December 14th, 2007 at 8:56 pm
Tell me about it. And, “Morse”: ‘giant blue and white display’ or no, the christmas light arms race on old campus started with welch. trivial? maybe. sweet? hell, yes.

Keep working. btw, take a look at penis enlargement extender, it might help.
