Bucky's Micro-School

Yes, at Bucky’s Micro-School we only teach you the things you’ll actually remember 20 years later. Here are samples of actual majors:

History: History repeats itself.

In addition, you get to learn about special subjects, like books n’ art n, other stuff:

Moby Dick: It’s about a whale and a peg-leg.

Well, blessed is just about everyone with a vested interest in the status quo,

Sig by Wally M7, master signature architect to the SDMB

I would like to be professor of Shakespeare

Hamlet: A lot of people die
Romeo & Juliet: they die at the end
Julius Caesar:He dies half way through, and the conspirators battle with their concious for 3 more acts
King Lear: He gives his kingdom away, goes crazy, 2 of his children die, and he dies too.
The Scottish play: Death-o-rama

do I get the job?


**Id rather be no one than someone with no one **

English: i before e except after c.
Dance: step-ball-change.
Classical Theatre: Everybody yelled a lot and died violently, and talked unintelligibly.
Romantic Theatre: Everybody had to enter a room sideways while ducking, and talked unintelligibly.
20th Century Theatre: Everybody sat around being sullen, and talked unintelligibly.

How about Titus Andronicus: They all die and it’s really bloody.

Or Hamlet: That’s what you get for wanting to screw your mother.

I want to be psych professor:

Child Psychology: You mother didn’t love you correctly.

Adolescent Psychology: Kids are cruel.

Abnormal Psychology: When in doubt, drug 'em.

Social Psycholgy: People are just bald, two legged sheep.

Psychology of Mass Media: We’re all screwed. Turn off your TV, burn your newspapers, throw your radio out the window, and you MIGHT turn out normal.

Freudian Psychology: You didn’t love your mother correctly.

Jungian Psychology: Well, there’s a mask. And a dark side. Kind of like Darth Vader, but different. And a collective unconcious, kind of like The Force, but different. And then there’s this cave… (see Philosophy, 101.)

I like our school.

Biology: Ontogeny rehashes phylogeny.

Your brain-in-a-jar,

Imbibo, ergo sum.

Help Desk: Shut up and reboot.


“You CAN’T be evil. 'Cos no matter how many ‘bad’ things you do on purpose,
you MUST be doing it because you think it’s the right thing to do.”

John L, sorry, but I’m probably saving Shakespeare for myself (I am dean after all).
I will, however, steal liberally from your material. How about Milton instead?

Micro-acting class:
Greek theatre–place one hand on the toga/peplos, the other in the air.
Shakespearean–put hands on hips.
Resotration–put one hand on cane, the other should have a limp wrist.
Modern–put hands in pockets.
Contemporary–put hands on groin (yours or someone else’s).

Dean Bucky

To add to the dean’s list:

Improv Comedy: Put your hand on a member of the audience’s groin.

I’ll take the Business School!

Marketing - Sex sells.
Management - Where it concerns offices, size DOES matter.
Industrial Engineering - It comes in here and goes out there. The rest are details.
Corporate Law - Whatever you do WILL get you sued.
Human Resources - If we get sued, you’re fired!
Accounting - Numbers don’t lie, but management will.
Finance - Sorry, that’s not in the budget for this year.

I expect tenure and an annual sabbatical.

Everything You Ever Need to Know About Existentialism: Existence precedes essence. Simple, right?

Come on, after all…


–I am Soren Kierkegaard.–
“People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid.”

Oooh, philosophy:

Nihilism: Nothingness has got to be better than somethingness.
