Surplus at Columbia College
It's always interesting to discover a community's surplus, or at least what one reveals as their surplus. It's funny, because we joked that someone would trade an apple, and someone did! Obviously, college students don't have much surplus. It's sweet that someone traded the canned pasta for a plant. I really hope someone comes in and makes the connection: I'm hungry, here's a can and the microwave is down the hall.
We're trying to put the traded items in the actual place of the item traded for. Raisins were traded for a spider plant. We hope that this helps visualize the exquisite corpse (plant=raisins=...?)
