Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

At the University of Chicago??!?!

More to the point, at the Business School? Which, yeah, of course.

Pamplemousse! Ananas!

Watching that song made me regret leaving teaching for the first time since the move, since I would love to use that in class!

Would God use bullet points, or some other graphic in his PowerPoint presentations?

Instead of bullets, he uses lightning bolts (the better to smite you with, my dear)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I figure that whatever He would use, if you were hungry and in the desert, they'd turn into manna....

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Gotta say, I'm not at all surprised at a business school going that route, since I assume that doing goofy powerpoint presentations is like half of what business school is about.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think it's funny that they use "four static PowerPoint slides" and "express your creativity" in the same notion.

Commercial for 1970s game: "Ball Buster"

Announcer (who sounds like he's polished off a couple of hi-balls): "The name of the game is Ball Buster. It's a family game. Fun for children." And for adults it's exciting. You make strategic offensive and defensive movements. Then try to bust your opponents balls."

From the WFMU blog post:

One of the strange things about getting older is that you can't tell if some of those childhood memories you had were real, or just excited kids fever dreams. I had this problem a few days ago when I was trying to describe to an old friend about a TV ad I used to see for a board game where the dad yells out "You're a ball buster!" Did I make that up? Well, I can't actually prove the real things that happened to me (did I actually see the boy next door dressed in women's clothes and pretending to hump a telephone pole when I was ten?), but thanks to the interweb, I can now prove my sanity vis a vie those tee vee memories. And so...here is "Ball Buster".

Haven't actually watched the clip, as I'm at work....
