Wells used to be an open forum for all kinds of things. Crazy religious dudes, yes. But also important poltical/social issues as well.
I must be crazy to be in a loony bin like this.

Ah, the Wells Hall Preacher. Guy was a nut. It was fun to show him the error of his logic on more than one occasion. I saw a kid throw the nut's bible in the garbage one time. As if yelling at students and calling them liars, whores, and sinners is going to bring anyone closer to your religion.

These people are at every major outdoor concert now.
Near the main gates at Lollapalooza last summer there was a group of 8-10 people holding signs and yelling at everyone walking by that they were contributing to the downfall of society and would burn in hell.
I'm not sure how they knew so much about me and my lifestyle choices but they're probably right.

Nope, got its name from former MLB pitcher/current fatass David Wells.

they were bringing it hard when Pres. Obama spoke at MSU while campaigning. So many people picketing while the line wrapped all the way from IM Circle past the administration building. That was annoying.

How has this dumbass thread generated so many responses? The OP is VIP and has 6000+ posts for fuck's sake, this guy should be ostracized for being such a moran.

This is ridiculous. 10%. George Wells noted British politician. Trevor loves the Brits (hence, tolerating Cym Jim) so he named the board designed for thought provoking political and other non-sports talks after him.
