<p>Sure, no problem. Happy to be in recruiting. I can drive around in a wagon and pick up people who’d like to come to school. Maybe I can borrow one of the animals to pull the wagon.</p>
<p>Well, jym, it would have been smart to avoid CC, but unfortunately, I’m only on step 5 of the 12-step program (now back to 3). I continued to read CC obsessively for most of the time that I was not posting. I did, however, manage to survive a week-long vacation without my computer! :eek:</p>
<p>Ah, yes! I cannot believe that I forgot Adria and Orion (my sister’s two alpaca). I’m sure that she’ll let them live with us at least when she is in college (unless she ends up at Reed, where pets are allowed:)). Just don’t let her know that I forgot about the alpaca- Orion is her favorite pet!</p>
<p>And the <em>alternative</em> campus rag needs to be the Daily S’Mudge.</p>
<p>jym I checked out the penguin parade. I really think we should recruit them for the college too. They’d add dignity to the commencement exercises.</p>
<p>possible location: Neuschwanstein!!!</p>
<p>I have to ask my sister first, though. She already called it for herself, but maybe she will reconsider!</p>
<p>andi-
hahahahahaha. Great idea. They’re already in tuxes. Wouldn’t need to spend $$ on caps, gowns and hoods. Cute little buggers, aren’t they?? </p>
<p>yemaya-
Sorry to hear about the cc relapse. We must accept those things we are powerless to control… (yada yada yada). Glad to hear the alpaca can make it too. Since you sister has such a gift for naming animals, do you think she could suggest some names for our sluggbugg mascot?</p>
<p>Yemaya:</p>
<p>And what about housing for the elephant and the llamas? Not in the treehouse, surely? What a picture!!!</p>
<p>You guys don’t usually like my suggestions <em>sniffle</em> but I’m offering another one. How about naming the sluggbugg mascot “Sir Mudgeon” ?</p>
<p>hayden - That’s kewl, as Pres. Curmudgeon would say. A real winner, imho. Hope that helps you wipe away a tear or too. I will add it to the “official record” unless/until someone expunges it. Who would dare?</p>

<p>correction noted-- still need something for your other hand.</p>
<p>thanks, jmmom. You’ve made my Sunday.</p>
<p>Youse guys are forgetting the dance department, where Curmudgeon is a full professor. Also, my self-nomination as professor or professor emeritus (depending on how long it takes us to become established) of ethnomusicology and religious studies.
The campus store needs to stock good-quality, i.e. New York, pastrami.</p>
<p>DOS-
Are you sure Curmudge wants to wear two hats? (pun intended). Before we bestow the dual role on him, we should check it out. If he doesnt reply fast enough to turn it down, we’ll hit him, excuse me, honor him with the 2 jobs-- prez and full prof. in the dance dept, where we will expect an annual recital and demonstration of the triple klutz.</p>
<p>And I think I detected a trend-- I think the ladies of this esteemed facility have been the ones to update the compilation of info. for the school. DOS, perhaps you could step in, on behalf of the gentlemen of the faculty and staff, and provide any necessary updates???
Note:
When we copy and paste, 'mudges portrait ( :eek: ) seems to disappear. Whats with that? The portrait of Dorian Gray or something??</p>
<p>I can see Sir Cur teaching the elephants and the llamas how to dance while dadofsam instruct the students into the art of Tuvan throat singing. You need faith to accomplish both. :)</p>
<p>Is there a campus architect? I’ve done a bit of Ebay buying so I am fully qualified to purchase slightly used stuff from Rice. Plus, I’ve done a bit of campus design. Now…how many buildings do we need? Do we have naming rights asssigned?</p>
<p>Updating is no problem with copy&paste. What is a problem is going back through 15 pages of messages to see if any additional information should be added.</p>

<p>I have heard Tuvan throat singing, as well as throat singing from nearby areas. Even heard two Tuvan singers in a duet. In such a situation, the overtones have overtones, which would suggest against the establishment of a choir unless the choirmaster knew how to effectively deal with that.</p>
<p>One would definitely need faith to be able to learn to sing from me. I sing off-key in several languages and styles. I therefore am not qualified to teach anyone how to sing anything, including Tuvan throat, so I unnominate myself for that position.</p>

<p>DOS- Where’d you add yourself??? Don’t see your faculty listing.
and Cheers-
I think the auction is over for the Res. College from Rice, and besides, it got summarily rejected by the planning committee here, in favor of the living facilites you will see on the planning sheet. But we’d love some other architectural renderings for other campus structures-- and yes,the job, as you see, is already yours :)</p>
<p>Cheers: I added you as Chief Architect, but in so doing, I violated one of our most basic principles, which I myself enunciated in post no. 199.</p>
<p>Namely, in order to make this school special, none of us may function in our professional capacity. To the contrary, we are only permitted to accept a post in a capacity for which we are not qualified professionally but for which we do have some other special qualifications. For that reason I disqualified myself from heading up any law-related programs.</p>
<p>So I will have to remove you as chief architect. But we do want you on the faculty or in the administration!! So please do reapply.</p>

<p>Oops-- Cheers, sorry. 
I spoke too soon… There is yet anyone foolish enough…er… brave enough…er… kind enough to step forward and submit their name as head of the Budget and Finance or Fundraising. Interested? ???</p>
