Ugghh gross. I have taught a class like that, and while people will often volunteer waaaaaay TMI, there is no damn excuse for putting students under a very public spotlight. =P

The vast majority of the shitty messages I got were via the chat function. Once I turned that off, the quality of messages improved considerably. Except for this one guy who told me I reminded him of James Holmes, but in a good way. That was kinda weird.

Some rando woman I've never met was telling me (via facebook) that women who waited until 30 to marry were whiny, selfish barren-wombed babies. Umm, thanks? Sorry about all that time I wasted "advancing science" when I should have been married and poppin' out baby after baby with someone completely incompatible!

Yeah, man, that stuff that's tied to a stick!

Why buy the pig when the sausage is free? ;)

Woo! Joining the unicorn club.

32D. You've changed my life.

Ah, np. Missouri-Rolla has one of the biggest St. Pat's celebrations in the US, full of way too much drinking. Beer for Breakfast and (screw)Drivers and Doughnuts are just two of the many events that week.

You didn't go to UMR, did you? (I guess MST now.) Mmm, Drivers and Doughnuts. Still don't know how I passed modern American history.

Have you seen this? http://the-toast.net/2014/09/08/eve…

Back in the days when the pilot and co-pilot would give them to you if you went up to talk to them, because there was no door on the cockpit...

On my 21st birthday, I ended up in the ER with alcohol poisoning. They dumped two liters of IV saline into me and sent me home the next morning. I went to work that night still drunk but feeling amazing. IV saline is a godsend for hangovers.

I met my fiance on OkC, and a couple of other relationships before him. And some hot-ass hookups. Damn son. Anyway. I did have to wade through a lot of bullshit... one time a guy told me I reminded him of James Holmes and that he thought that was awesome. That guy is not my fiance.

I did once date a student as a TA. We were already dating, he was in another major, and then I got assigned to a class he'd already registered for. I told the prof, gave his papers to her to grade, all fine.

Today's mainstream liberals are now "neoliberal" - meaning, thirty years ago they'd've been Republicans. Progressives now are what we used to call liberal.

My Loki is a half-coon, and he definitely squeaks. Constantly. Huge cat, tiny little voice.

Your comment is the first I've heard of Cmdr. Diaper. I love it. =) I was there in... I guess 2001-2002? Academy; the middle schoolers weren't so hardcore.

Ah, the Sex and Gossip Center.? Many a fond memory, but none come close to the diaper guy. Bro knew it was a time for courage.

Look at how poorly the parents of Francis Howell kids reacted to learning that they were going to have kids from Normandy and RG attending. They would come on television and say the most thinly veiled, horrifically racist things, with zero embarrassment.
