sj, how long have you been on the steroids already? And I clearly need to catch up with you. What pain are you experiencing? Because long-term steroid usage can cause pain.
Some people juggle geese!

[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yay for all the good news of brilliant peoples and oatmeal!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My advisor's first comment when I told him about the job was, "Have you seen Deliverance?" But he did say congratulations, too.
I'm going to spend tomorrow sorting through my files to see which jobs I haven't heard from yet. I'm pretty sure that everything that I've still got out is roughly comparable to this one -- some might be in locations I like a little better, but they're all at about the same level -- but I just want to make sure that there aren't any that I haven't heard from yet that are much better jobs that I have a chance at.
One of my officemates got his masters at another university near here that has a much better math reputation than mine. He said that the people who graduated there two years ago pretty much all got jobs or postdocs at really good schools. Of the 12 or so people there graduating this year, only three or four have any job yet.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Your advisor, Hil, is weird.

I don't think weird covers it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I bet Georgia would like to erase Deliverance the way Glenn Close would probably like people to just forget about her character in Fatal Attraction.

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