Philosophy professor, so that goes without saying.
Hah, a few clever ones there for sure. But honestly, I look at the pre-incident “awesome” reviews and can’t help but feel a bit sad for everyone.
I’m surprised the colleges haven’t taken Lamparello’s pages down.
Why did he need matches? There must be hundreds of lit votive candles within arm’s reach.
He’s being canned.
Makes me wonder why a somewhat successful person would just throw it all away? He’s working on a PHD and wrecks his life. Never know what gets into people.
sigh Tenure just ain’t what it used to be.
Well, he is a philosophy professor. Obviously, when he went to pay for the gas at the gas station’s mini mart he realized that his lighter was dangerously low on fluid and that he was due for a relaxing smoke on his treasured briarwood pipe in his cluttered, book-lined study later that afternoon before before donning his tweed jacket with the elbow patches and meeting with students who needed help with their theses and imparting professorly words of wisdom that will make them see the world in a whole new light.
The matches were because the lighter fluid was an off brand (Always buy Ronson!) and he was concerned it wouldn’t perform satisfactorily. But it was the only brand the gas station mini mart had and he was pressed for time, being that his van needed gas and he would have to cut through the church and all.
The media just doesn’t have the time and space to go into all the minutiae like that.
Seriously, I’m sad that someone thought of doing this. Also, that some churches have to have security guards.
There’s billions in the cathedral renovation game at the minute, perhaps he had a plan to get a piece of that pie? I’ll bet there is an inside man at the church who was in on the deal.
“Part-time on-line” positions, which is what he had at Lehman, are rarely tenure-track, much less tenured.
I’m surprised he is being called a “professor.” Ph.D. students who are temporary instructors wouldn’t be likely to hold such a job title.
I see that the webpages for Brooklyn College that listed him as an instructor seem to have been taken down, so can’t be checked for his actual job title.
You mean he is being fire-d.
Fortunately, this will give him time to work on his next book, Hot Topics in Philosophy.

Go to your room. NOW.
Might one say his career is toast?
Yeah, not “professor.”
When artists say that “in order to create, one must first destroy,” that is not what they have in mind. Also Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not “every man for himself”, and the London Underground is not a political movement.
Wanda? Is that you?
I don’t believe you. Did you look those up?
He could probably still apply to the Philosophy Department at the University of Woolamaloo. He would probably fit right in, if he were willing to change his name to Bruce.
Karl Marx was a philosopher. Just sayin’.
Ludwig Wittgenstein was known to use a fireplace poker when arguing a point.
If this guy is to be committed to a mental institution, what will happen, or not, if he is deemed mantally fit at some point?
