<p>Works with Techies never gets to Talker…loved that…great thread.</p>
<p>This is one of the funniest threads I have ever read on CC!</p>
<p>Àlu:</p>
<p>The CC oracles are Carolyn and Xiggi. I’m just a one-person Greek chorus, kalespera. :)</p>
<p>The Bigger Idiot.</p>
<p>The Lesser Idiot.</p>
<p>(not necessarily any avatar listed on this this thread. But could be, maybe, will be.)</p>
<p>Marite. I wrote my senior thesis on the role of the Sybil in epic poetry. If you read the classic epic, La Sbybille elle jete les feuilles en l’air. She throws leaves into the air and then the truth is known. So, no requirement to acknowledge knowledge. V. close to deus ex machina except no flying chariots required…</p>
<p>I am a card-carrying member of the sits-in-awe-and-feels-illiterate-when-on-parent’s-forum (much of the time) club.</p>
<p>And Lord save me from political threads (I read 'em but would almost NEVER dare to post…the flames would burn me alive, I fear)</p>
<p>Yeah, except I refuse to read tea leaves and prophesize on Chances.</p>
<p>Okay back to typology;
packers and movers, thread counters, bed lofting specialists.
The philhellenic chorus (hooray for frats and sororities!) has already been listed but what about the Temperance Union (aka Mini and InterestedDad)?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Jeez, that’s funny.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Awwwwwwww, coureur, ya cudda just called me by name!!! <em>ahem</em>, I believe that I have EARNED this honor! ;)</p>
<p>Aside from that, I fall into marite’s category:
</p>
<p>and the category of sjmom2329, for whom I hold a great deal of respect and affection:
</p>
<p>And the category of “Attempting to bring some warmth and emotion to what CAN be a very <em>sterile</em> environment at times,” despite the fact that this attempt is very much disapproved of by some <em>key players</em> on this forum. 
</p>
<p>Hey, it takes all kinds to make a community, no?? ;)</p>

<p>I somehow manage to be both of these archetypes at the same time:</p>
<p>The “elite admissions are not random” poster: recommends applying to all of the top 25 USNWR colleges because you never know.</p>
<p>The “please look at my stats and explain to me how great I am, I’m begging you” poster</p>
<p>Add Parents of first-born children who are doing this all for the first time and are desperate for information and perfectly happy to ask advice of the so-called parents with no life.
This site has saved our guidance counselor endless calls from us, and alerted us to plenty of issues we never would have thought to address – at least until the last minute.</p>
<p>Berurah also wins in the category of emoticon dispenser and graphic designer (at least as pertains to font size and color).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Also:
Member of the
*<em>“My athlete is not that dumb” group, and the
*</em>“Oh my gosh I am about to go through this for the second time and I just don’t think I can handle it” groups. Subgroups: “WHAT new SAT?” and “Is it true that no kids are getting into college anywhere anymore?” </p>
<p>Marite–“bedsheet-obsessed.” Is that a subgroup of “Certificate in Dorm Room Interior Design” group of which I am also an (aspiring) member?</p>
<p>Yo…my athlete is not that dumb. OK?</p>
<p>Driver–at least we have SOME groups in common ;)</p>
<p>How about the Never Been Able to Figure Out How to Make a Grey Quote Box group…(perhaps a subgroup of the TechNoTroglodytes who have been lured into the computer age by CC)</p>
<ul>
<li>PHD Producer list producers*</li>
</ul>
<p>I’m looking forward to the photo-enhanced Dorm Room Interior Design thread. I have to admit it.</p>
