You grad-school killing, Christmas-holidays wasting evil proto-trash-can-inhabitant! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!:mad: ---

What subject do you do? I love your screen-nale–but you’ve got me trying to figure out what pop-punk song has a reference to “thumb in my ass” now! D’oh! ---

OK I figured it now–It’s ‘43210-1’ by The Vandals. ---

Hey, don’t look at it too badly. I did a term paper for a history class a few semesters ago…and it’s turned into an obsession. I’ve got thousands of pages of documents and I’m learning a new language so I don’t have to have a buddy translate them for me. This might be a good thing, if you let it 😃 ---

Snoopyfan - You know, I just e-mailed the finished product to my prof, and I’m not even sure what it’s about. I’m hoping he’ll be able to figure it out. Shirley UJest - I want to be a t-shirt stand guy. On a beach. Somewhere very warm. Hm, I seem to have started a very tame pit thread. Isn’t someone going to tell me to fuck off, or something?
