(SCENE: the FIELD outside the IOWA MEMORIAL UNION, where the STUDENT ACTIVITIES FAIR is going on. MEREDITH and NATE are manning the booth for the UI chapter of the ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTING MACHINERY, to the right of the DATE RAPE ADVOCACY PROGRAM booth.)

(A student approaches the EMPTY TABLE next to them and starts putting out flyers. NATE looks over to see what they are.)

NATE: So let me get this straight ... the ACM booth is right next to the Iowa Football booth.
(MEREDITH looks to the left at the other booth.)
MEREDITH: Actually, it looks like a bunch of geeks are the only thing between Iowa Football and date rape.

(There, now I've fulfilled the mandate of the t-shirt I'm wearing today.)

Edit: I'm sitting in the middle of a field pulling a wireless signal from God knows where; Nate is sitting next to me, doing statistics homework off images of textbook pages that he photographed with his digital camera because he doesn't have the money for the book yet. Between the two of us, the Game Boy Advance (with Japanese-language games on it) that Nate just whipped out, and our cellphones, I suspect we wield more computational power than the rest of the activities fair combined.

(Yeah, I know, that and two bucks will get us a cup of coffee at Starbucks. It's the principle of the thing.)
