My Shakespeare prof:

Lape is SO hard. His tests are hard, even if you study your brains out. His papers are even harder, it is impossible to get an A. He is too old to accept new ideas so be prepared to only hear his ancient views of Shakespeare's works. RC needs someone else to teach this class. Class really sucks

SO funny

No loofah? Research, people!

Oh, I'd forgotten. One of the comments about my mother says she once told someone they were too old to be in graduate school. Given that I remember that she herself finished graduate school in her mid-30s, I find it unlikely -- particularly since I also remember good friends of hers who were still working on their dissertations in their late 40s. I am curious what she actually said that made this person think that.

Need my shoes?

Definite possibility.

I could also use your body and that silver dress, since you're lending.

I'm never taking my testicles to Wales now.

If you do, you may come home without them.

He may not be going to jail, but he's still bent over something.

So, I was standing in the express lane at WalMart today (god help me) and I saw this poster by the checkout lane and I thought the Buffistas would appreciate it:

this lane is reserved for ten items or less fewer.

The correction was handwritten, if that wasn't clear.

While the two specific examples I can think of don't bother me as much (as I think Blake and Simpson were both guilty), I'm troubled by this trend of re-trying murder cases in civil courts where the requirements for conviction are so much less rigorous. At some point some innocent person is going to be given an effective life sentence of bankruptcy and ostracism because a murder victim's survivors are wrongly convinced they did it and won't accept a criminal jury's not guilty verdict.

Matt, I have a huge problem with it, as well.

bugs me too
