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.

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...

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.
That is awesome! Though maybe not for him.

I think I decided to apply to a postdoc position at Cambridge. I know that there's no way I'm qualified to get it, but I also know that I'll regret it if I don't apply.
Also, decided to apply to West Point, and decided not to apply to the Citadel. Also ruled out a few places because I tried google mapping them and there was not a single town or city I'd ever heard of within 50 miles. I know that I would not do well in a place like that.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Also, decided to apply to West Point, and decided not to apply to the Citadel.
Those both sound like excellent choices. And, since I don't say it enough, good luck with the whole insane process.

Thanks, amych.
Oh! Can anyone tell me anything about Ft. Myers, Florida? For some reason, I can't find anything helpful online.
