You're especially good at expectorating.
[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 use antlers in all of my decorating!
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!
We just started FY2011.
I know, Barb, isn't that gross? It would almost make me feel bad for her, except I think she wants something from the wider world because a man made up a lame excuse and never called her again. That is, if she didn't make it up.
Thanks, Dana!
I'm trying to decide whether or not to go to the national math conference this year. It's in New Orleans, which makes me want to go. But, unlike the past two years, I don't really have any reason to go -- I'm not presenting anything, and I'm not interviewing. I looked at the schedule of talks, and while there are some that look interesting, there's nothing that makes me say "I've got to hear that." The timing makes it difficult, but not impossible -- it's in the few days before classes start next semester, so I'd have to do all my prep the week before, and I'd have to fly home on Sunday and start teaching on Monday, and I wouldn't have any time either before or after the conference to do non-conference stuff in New Orleans.
Your current job is not forever. All things like this are networking opportunities, but some are better than ever. If this is a great networking opportunity that is worth considering. If this is a not a very good networking opportunity, that is also worth considering.
It's an OK networking opportunity, but the smaller conferences are better for that -- at the big ones, everyone's running around so much that there's not much time for really talking to anyone.
So then it is a matter of weighing the effort, vs. wish to hear the presentations? With opportunity cost vs. time and energy to attend smaller conferences in the future as a consideration?
