I've never given my address to the alumni assoc. and yet they always seem to find me.
We really need to have people from alumni associations looking for Bin Laden.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

I can't stand Rachael Ray.
Her mouth scares me. I keep expecting her to unhinge her jaw and swallow someone.
Still, she's not as bad as Emeril.
Oh, Emeril is harmless. Annabel likes him. It's Bobby Flay who should be shot.

So, question to you: Say your alma mater announces that they've put together an alumni directory, and they're going to publish your last known address and e-mail, and it would only be available to other alumni. If you want out, you have to opt-out... after the directory is published. Are you OK with that, or would your privacy-dar explode from overuse?
Speaking not as an alumnus, but as a (temporary) administrator, I'm sure that people higher up in the university would squash this plan if they heard about it. Alumni don't belong to a particular school. They are a precious resource, and universities want them handled gently.
Actually, I am an alumnus of sorts from dw's university, so I will go ahead and say that as an alumnus this would piss me off.

If I only had a brain...
I've bought a lot of new clothes since I started this job; apparently being happy makes me wear bright colors. Who knew?
Sandals: early this summer
Skirt: early this summer
Bra: early this summer
Underpants: don't ask, you'll be glad you didn't
T-shirt: last week (company hand-out>
Hairclip: last weekend

"The Senate is investigating how the FBI could not find Bin Laden when student callers from Saudi Arabia A&M University had his home phone number and called him for donations more than 100 times in the last four years, and the Alumni Association sent him 187 donation solicitations in the mail during that period, always knowing which safehouse he was living in at the time."

tommy,
man, I have really liked Al Gore since he "lost" the election. Wish he showed us more of this side of him when he was running.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Freak.
Which reminds me. Gotta go get lunch.

I have serious Bobby Flay issues. I hate him.

My primary issue with Bobby Flay is that I have no idea who he is.
