<p>The Grammar Nazis scare me but I probably should to hear from them a bit more! </p>
<p>I did a little Trash Talking back in the day until Johnny Depp repeatedly trash talked his least favorite school–my husband’s alma mater. Oh yeah, that’s not too attractive. I reformed myself. Depp did too–as far as I can tell. ;)</p>
<p>If the school is USC, then no I haven’t. Just no targets of opportunity. I don’t recall. Overrated for undergrad with the exception of Film/Television and Music. One of those schools where people think they’ll get by on connections…an odious approach…instead of competence.</p>
<p>Archetype:</p>
<p>Mass Mind Reader; eg: Depp, who has the skinny on the inner motivation of 15,000 ODIOUS 18 to 22 year olds, year in and year out.</p>
<p>Cheers, I’m good friends with two who teach there (one of whom is sending a daughter to UCLA and another who is looking at LAC’s), another who <em>has</em> taught there, and have encountered literally hundreds of undergrads over the years, even had some as clients. It’s not mass mindreading. And it’s not a universal picture. But the impressionist painting composed from all the blotches of color tells a story. The worst are those who major in undergrad business and think that an SC degree combined with playing golf with the right people is all they need to do.</p>
<p>Cheers and TheDad - you could create another thread, the “How many XXXXXX students does it take to change a lightbulb?” thread. Or the “This college really stands for…” thread. (Such as, USC = University of Spoiled Children.) We can never get a Yankees fan and a Red Sox fan to see eye-to-eye on baseball… neither will a loyal UCLA-er ever look with favour upon USC. :p</p>
<p>Meanwhile, you’re messing with LFWB Dad’s excellent archetypes thread. :p</p>
<p>Another archetype: “I only post in Sinner’s Alley.”</p>
<p>Archetype: CC Post Mind Reader. Instantaneously knows when a post refers to him/her or his/her pet subject and shows right up to respond in the very next post. CF post #201-202.</p>
<p>A true gift.</p>
<p>Submitted with the greatest of affection for both posters in the cited example :).</p>
<p>Archetype: Folks who think the real USC is in Columbia</p>
<p>my Arche “type” is: I Can’t Type… </p>
<p>aka Where Does It Say We Have to Write in Complete Sentences?</p>
<p>(ouch- all those caps were painful!!)</p>
<p>Archetype: Folks who think the real UT is in Texas</p>
<p>Thedad, Dang, you mean that golf thing won’t assure success? I better tell my s to cancel the lessons!</p>
<p>And Goalie, Come ON, the real UT IS in Texas!! When Peyton left, Tennesssee went back into relative obscurity despite their hopes for Ainge… ;)</p>
<p>edit for the grammar police</p>
<p>Oh, and all this time I thought that UT was the University of Toledo! LOL</p>
<p>And I’ve had Peyton Manning in my Fantasy Football league (keeper) for 4 years now. Very dependable. </p>
<p>Let’s see how Vince Young develops…</p>
<p>Toledo!! lol -</p>
<p>Well, Vince didn’t look so good last Sunday! </p>
<p>Gotta say, I love Peyton - his commercials are hilarious!</p>
<p>oops, edited for the football police</p>
<p>I thought it was the University of Tulsa</p>
<p>“This species knows that we can come here to find out that ours is not the only son who: stopped writing all fifth-grade essays in mid-sentence as soon as he reached the minimum word count…”</p>
<p>Wow…who told you? He’s still doing it in the 7th grade, lol. :)</p>
<p>“Well…I’m in the group of “Parents Who Automatically Open a Window for Dictionary.com As Soon As They Get On CC.” But hey…at least my vocabulary is growing and my typing skills are improving. :-)”</p>
<p>OMG…And I keep a Google page open for research purposes!!!</p>
<p>OPs that BUMP their threads just so they won’t die. ;)</p>
<p>Good one, LFWB. And a worthy thread, to boot.</p>
<p>Ohmigosh, I’ve been nailed by so many of these threads. Stop! Stop!
lol</p>
<p>Two more.</p>
<p>Magical posters - they ask a question then disappear! </p>
<p>And believe it or not I don’t think anyone has mentioned what must be one of the largest archetypes of them all:</p>
<p>Support group for Parents Who Just Miss Their Kids Archetype</p>
<p>goaliedad- the only problem I’m having with my recent move from Dallas to Nashville is that I CAN NOT get it that UT means Tennessee! It is getting very embarrassing.</p>
