Didja know Mike Judge’s (of Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill) dad is a prof there? They call him Professor Butthead. No! What’s his name? And what does he teach? Maybe I had him for something. It’s a small college. When did you live in Durango? I was there 7 years. ---

> [@Mr. Moto](#): > > Ding ding ding! > > Pitt. Sept 1988 - April 1993. Hey, so we even were there at the same time! 🆒 Let’s see if we had anything else in common: I lived in Tower B the first year, then drew a bad number in the housing lottery and moved to an apartment in Shadyside. I was studying linguistics with a psych minor, working at Roy Rogers Tuck Shop in the Cathedral, and volunteering as a guide for the Nationality Rooms Program (Quo Vadis). ---
