Doesn't MikeyMo strike you as a thin, hyperactive, Energizer bunny type of horndog that'll go for any "port in the storm?" I get the feeling he doesn't take any flack from anybody. (If you don't stand up for yourself, nobody else will.) Paolo, you must deep down like living on L.I. or you would have made other plans. (All that coastline around seems pretty cool and once it gets rural further out, it's beautiful). Fuggedabout your parents. Don't you ever just tell them to go to hell? Would it have any consequences? I used to tell them off, at least once a week...."Vaffanculo." Now that I am an adult who basically raised himself, I see that it was warranted. Oh, and as for tenure, if you have great student feedback, isn't that what ensures it, along with some committee, rather than some sole douche bag? You're in secondary education...I really feel for the geeks in research oriented 4-year universities...the thought of a steady stream of research and article writing in field(s) that did not interest me beyond their vocational value made my stomach So, what's up with this weird tenure mechanism? So, come on, you have a job, a car, friends, irritating parent(s) that presumably live nearby and a dog! Cheer up!

Or a Saturn Aura on steroids...

What's the rage about? That blonde poon no longer finds him a good catch?

Would most guys want to "bone" that? NOT. Is that Adele Naudee Santos, or whatever her name is, from Argentina or Brazil? She always reminded me of a coconut with a grass-skirt type mop on her head. Or is that Robert Venturi's wife? One feminist chick in architecture school resented that moniker as if she was "a possession," so someone (another guy in that studio) then referred to Venturi's wife as "the little woman" to piss her off even more.

This is hysterically funny, though the bottom of the list (# 115) would be at the top of the list for me. There are too many to digest, so I'll have to think about this. A lot of the things are granolafied, so it makes sense they attract white folks since, besides Tracy Chapman, there aren't many black granolas.

Scumbag. Lose the key.

LEED = granola. I cringe every time I hear "green building." Sure, all of that stuff is important, but some of is a bit much. I got off the plane at Portland International and went to take a leak in one of the stalls. The flush valve had 2 directions: one for liquid waste and the other for solid waste. It rains nonstop in Oregon, as if a little bit of extra water use matters THAT much in that area. Probably specified by a Subaru driving architect with a Thule "coffin" on top and sporting a turtleneck with little round glasses

Sciguy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, though we haven't seen you around as much!

Hey, Happy Birthday, Scarlet Swordfish. ocnblu was sleeping on the job....

Whichever kind Tonya Harding wouldn't buy....but then I don't use them anyway.

"ring around the collar"

$1.669 BEFORE a 3 cent card discount at Safeway, but I currently have a 10 cent discount to be used by 12-31-08. For some reason, OR/WA are about 10 cents more than Northern Calif. at this time. I don't know why. Are you really thinking something is seriously wrong or some economic mechanism isn't working....that gas is $ 3.00 a gallon less than it was 6 months ago?

Marionberry (it's like a raspberry that is grown in Marion Co., OR)

Oh, I totally know where you're coming from. My parents taught me the same thing. In my initial post, I was noting the slight "startle" one experiences when there isn't "enough" time to prepare. It's how "unfair" it is that startles us, I think. I think that some people so afflicted are, deep down, stronger than we are, on many levels.
