What Are We Gonna Do With All This Stuff?

Little pink air fresheners adorn the trash cans around Oxford.

OXFORD—You're going to hear more from us tomorrow about the money Oxford stands to lose if the debate falls through. But it's also time to consider those purchases Ole Miss made that will quickly seem ridiculous without a presidential debate. We appreciate the hospitality, Ole Miss, but you might regret getting:

-Spiffy rented Segways for Oxford Police, from the wonderfully-named "North Mississippi Intuitive Motion."

-Bags of pink and blue air freshener crystals hanging above every garbage can we've seen on campus to keep our trash smelling so sweet

-More red, white and blue bunting than even the most patriotic town would display in late September

-Media gift bags each containing:

headphones
a Gilette Fusion razor
a very class leather-bound journal
Satin Care "Alluring Avocado" Shave Gel
contact solution
a bottle of caffeine pills
a single comb

And "Pro-Strength" deodorant, Ole Miss? Are you trying to tell us something?

Maybe they can still return the Segways. Probably not the air refresheners, though. I'm feeling Oxford's pain. I also think the show will go on, though, somehow.
