Please note the laundry soap and liquid refreshment on the same shelf which if the wrong choice is made in the dark could have disasterous results. Note also that the dirty laundry and keyboard occupies the laundry basket. The joysticks at the top of the heap only indicate the most recently used item in the room. And although the requisite power tools are available, the one thing to insure academic success is missing...text books!
In my defense:

1) As most people know, soda cans have a different shape, opening apparatus, and number of handles from a bottle of laundry detergent. Additionally, note that the detergent is at the far end of the desk from the bed; there is no way anyone this side of Big Mike could reach it while still in bed.

2) The hoodie is a bit of a misnomer; the hamper is just stuff from clearing through Dad's miscellanea. (No, I don't know why he had a keyboard.)

3) The only two flat surfaces big enough to hold 1618's board were the space on top of the desk and the sink. If my roommate didn't kill me for covering up the sink, my dentist would!

4) Textbooks?! Al, this is the new millenium--we have Blackboard.

Strikingly similar, actually. You can only get so cluttered before University Housing starts breathing down your neck.

Now for the actual results. First place goes to:

Subject was last seen running away crying from the local karaoke bar, the torturous sounds of laughter and booing nipping at the heels of his shattered psyche as he lost himself in the comforting darkness.
(While Travis is known to harp--no pun intended--on Karthik often, he gets the nod this week on relative originality.)

Second place goes to:

Yes, but the rumor is, he left it on the road somewhere. It could be anywhere up or down the east coast.

a voice from under the blanket: eureka! I found it!

FIRST Search Committee member #1: Billfred, did you find your mind?

the voice: no, but I found the loose screw - we're getting closer.
Honorable mentions go to:

1) Rich Wong

And the burn award, since I'm deadlocked between two, will be awarded twice:
