I applied for 10 jobs today and am not holding my breath about hearing from any of them.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Examples, Shir? (I'm not as widely read in general sociology as I should be. I'd like to explore this idea further, if you have papers or similar that you find apologetic.)
It's the lecturers, not the papers. As in, entire class in which the lecturer tried to apologies behalf of quantitative-method sociology whenever he feels it's not "scientific" enough.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Is Teppy around?? There's been a wee discussion of names in the reality tv thread and it reminded me that I wanted to share a name of a student....
Batman.
Yep. 8th grader named Batman. Seriously, how cool would it be to have this conversation:
Random person: What's your name?
B: I'm Batman.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It might work against bullies: "Don't hurt me! If you do, I'll go get my friend Batman!"

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hee. That makes me think of Abed dressed as Batman on Community.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That is pretty awesome.

I'm sad for them, but this made me laugh.
Jeanne-Claude met her husband, Christo Javacheff, in Paris in 1958. At the time, Christo, a Bulgarian refugee, was already wrapping small objects.

Aww, I remember well when they wrapped the islands in Miami in pink. It was much fun.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
As in, entire class in which the lecturer tried to apologies behalf of quantitative-method sociology whenever he feels it's not "scientific" enough.
OK, that's ridiculous. Sociology has spent years refuting positivism - it's great in its own field, but you can't 'measure' societies in that way. What exactly was the lecturer aiming for there? (I wrote a paper last semester about sociology of scientific knowledge, flawed concepts of objectivity, and the implications for my field. This is much more interesting stuff than whether statistics are somehow 'scientific' enough.)
8th grader named Batman.
First name or surname? Interesting...
