In "And I find it very interesting that when the heat got on you dug yourself a hole and you crawled in it."

I think Keith has made an interesting observation. Am I to speculate then, that Georgie's writers have something against him? Seems a little blatant, because the analogy is really close. OTOH, do we read into it what we want to believe? It's still too early to tell what they knew that day, because to continue meeting with the kindergarden class, while all hell is breaking loose seems rather odd behaviour of #1 man in office. I do agree with Keith regarding the short memory span of some citizens.

"....received a citation for having an open container of beer. Olivares didn't dispute the charges. He just took issue with being called dude. ``He was calling me dude and laughing about it,'' Olivares said. ``I don't think Kern County needs that kind of leadership.'' This guy has some nerve. The Dude! abides. Small wonder he was called Dude and not regarded as a gentleman. Gentlemen don't drink and drive, Dude.

So, SideDish, this instead of your nog carol book as a holiday card? Hmm. Regarding that site, when they write...online directory of top photographers of the human form.... Of the human form, seems....well, there's something wrong with calling a nude a nude? The human form? WTF? I don't know....the copy just rubs me the wrong way.

Damn, jb, that sounds like keeping up with the Jones'. My daddy is bigger than... Our professors profess bettrn' yours. Or something of that ilk. I think it is about the research, grants, publishing and the students are imbecilic pests and burn up your time. For some, may I add, not all. ok, for the one I was dating. Past tense. I won't tar them all with the same brush though, I wouldn't know. I did point out the site to her and she was aghast. "Don't you dare tell my sister about this site!", she said. Hmmm, talk about compartmentalizing your life. Her own sister? Sheesh. Go for the chipoltle, jb, hot and smokey. Aren't all people sensitive to criticism, whether you're a professor or an artist or actor or....judge, whatever?

In "Is that really possible?"

That is so riced out! I loved it! If you have your computer [beige] in the living room, say, why not turn it into a scultpture or piece of art. And these are pieces of art, make no mistake. Totally geekish, [wait, I don't mean that, it's like being ageist or sexist or, or...call it what you will, but...] yet! they're the most original sculptures to date. You could pack your aquarium away and make one of these puppies and it'll have way more effect on your ambience. Damn! When you think about the amount of time some people spend in their cars and they customize them to an inch of their life, it really makes sense to do it to your computer and keyboard et al. This makes so much sense to me, I can't believe it. Thanks. That is the wickedest! You wanna talk about original? That is totally fucking original. Big up! Let's see those photos genial, damnit!

jb, word. Students have so many things on their mind and sometimes schooling isn't one of them. It's good for a laugh, but that's as far as I'd take it. Besides, they are posting anonomously, if they had to identify themselves, it would be a two way street at least. OTOH, what's to stop a professor from posting favourable reviews of themselves many times over under different pseudonyms. Hell, even get a thread going! That would be even more hilarious!

Just thought I'd join the party. Not that I've started many front page posts on MeFi. I prefer including links in ongoing topic discussions. Which brings me here, for the discussion of it. May I add, it looks like a mighty fine site, mighty fine.
