Shoot it!

thank you k2ag97! i was telling my daughters about our old dorms. not sure they believed me. so i bet them $5 someone would reply "shoot" within 5 minutes. you made it in 4!

Shoot 85!

CLASS OF 83!!!!!!!

Shoot! Crocker Hall class of '91 (RIP)

Back in 1960-1962 when Milner Hall was a dorm basically for foreign students, just think how hard it was to teach the "Crapper" concept to them!

Clapper?

Shoot It

Ross volunteers! SHOOT IT!

I don't get it.

Really?

When taking a shower the water temperature can suddenly be affected by someone flushing a toilet.
So proper etiquette before giving them a shock is to yell crapper so they can adequately prepare themselves for the impending danger. Once they are in position to weather the storm they signal the all clear by shouting "shoot it".

Pretty sure Moore hall didn't have this problem by 2006... Then again you didn't really get to choose the water temp either.

Makes sense, I just never lived in a dorm where that was an issue. One of the balcony suitemate dorms was the oldest I lived in.

Shoot '05

Shoot it!

Shoot it!

Crocker '82. RIP

we always just said "shoot!" i think.

...................and if there WAS an upperclassman you did not particularly like, you did not yell "crapper". The howls of pain from a scalded scrotum were glorious!

The fish hollered "crapper sir!". The reply was simply "shoot!". Old Army didn't say "shoot it ".

Moore Hall '86. It was just "Shoot!" No "it" required.

In my time it was also used an insult. If someone were to mention Bill Clinton in a public forum it wasn't unusual for some to yell shoot it. Implying that whoever it was directed at was a turd in need of flushing. I still do this today to the confusion of my wife and kids.

That was my recollection as well. I was a Crocker Coque (hard as a rock) in '84 and '85. Regarding the plumbing, I very distinctly remember there being no partitions between and around the toilets - just a small panel that only came out a few inches from the wall. It made for some unpleasant situations apres Sbisa. And I distinctly remember having just moved in and having two guys that lived down the hall take a pee, then come over to me as I was sitting on the commode to introduce themselves. They each shook my hand (your sink was back in your room, not in the bathroom) and then they had a fairly pleasant, downright neighborly conversation with me, just as naturally as if we were meeting in a classroom or in church. What year did the old Crocker go to that great dormitory museum in the sky?

Capt'n Willie was the man! Miss hearing him play that harmonica. Dude made sure you kept the place clean or he'd take away all the toilet paper.....

And if you were on the crapper and DID NOT yell thus giving fair warning to all in the shower, that person could and would most likely be disciplined, especially if you were a frick. Thus it was not only a courtesy as much as it was an expected norm.

Moses Hall held a talent show (or some such event) on a Sunday in the quad between Moses and Keathley. Willie came out - on his day off - and played the Star Spangled Banner on his harmonica to start the festivities. Now THAT was Texas A&M!
