Carvings generally fall into three categories: Wilbur trays, "Tray of" trays, and tray puns.
Let's make a comprehensive list of dining hall tray scratchings. Include locations, if known/remembered.
Contents
Wilbur...
Does anyone know Wilbur's story? Create it!
- Wilbur Sucks I - LXII (beyond?)
- Wilbur cooks with spices (Greylock?)

Cult of Tom
I haven't witnessed this, but heard from Alaya Kuntz '04 that, a while ago, there was a "war" in the Odd Quad between two Toms, via tray carvings. People would carve something like "Cult of Tom" regardless of which Tom they were for, and somehow everyone would know which Tom it was. Can anyone confirm?
Edit: Driscoll trays sometimes featured both "Cult of Tom" and "Cult of Thom." This may be the distinction referred to above. Either way, Cult-of-Tom trays were very common in Driscoll, at least as of a couple of years ago.

Ideas for Carvings
So awful.
- Infiltraytion (I think this one exists)
- Tray the course
- Extray credit for puns
- Wilbur: Zuckerman's Traymous Pig (sucks)
- Et tray, Brute? Then fall, salad. (Wouldn't "Et tu, Brutray?" work better?)
- Tray the Earth Stood Still (was listed above before, but I think I just imagined it)
- Auto-Traycheotomy
- Tray that funky music, Greylock.
