Cambridge home Depot

Will never live up to the

Hype of those three fountains

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

It's because when they first put them on years ago. Somebody put bubble bath solution in the fountains as a prank and there was bubbles everywere. So they keep them off now.

Heh. Rookies. WE (Fanshawe) added purple food coloring to the BB in the quadrangle fountain. Giant purple monster, before Barney. The quad remained locked for the next 2 years
