<p>Sorry, I forgot to mention the student store.</p>
<p>Jmmom,
I will have to resign my “post-in-the-abstract” if there is any scrapple in the store, sorry to say…but my kids can’t live without Indomie (noodles in cups…).</p>
<p>And on another note, do we have a football coach yet?</p>
<p>Hello again from the holder of the Esteemed Chair of Tolkien Studies/Elvish Language and Literature, who will be running the Celestial Navigation club for all those who find themselves on the high seas without their GPS.</p>
<p>May I respectfully request my favorite fine gourmet item for the school store?</p>
<p>Marshmallow Peeps. Preferably vintage (i.e., stale).</p>
<p>If not the store, then a permanent Peeps Bar alongside the Starbucks will do fine.</p>
<p>Barring that I will shoot them up behind closed doors in my faculty office. I do realize that the love of Peeps is a shameful secret and a disgusting habit. :)</p>
<p>Peeps will be available in the traditional yellow. We have not decided re the “impostor” colors/species (eg, blue rabbits, etc.). If they are not sufficiently vintage, we will open the plastic so they can air dry. We aim to please.</p>
<p>Hard to imagine that scrapple won’t be in high demand from the DelMarVa and Pa folks, robrym. Would you stay with us if it’s only available behind the counter in a brown paper wrapper?</p>
<p>Jmmom, There will be an entire room at the bookstore devoted to chocolate items, won’t there? I love stale Peeps but nothing compares to chocolate.</p>
<p>In fact, maybe we could give a scholarship to supply one or two students with unlimited chocolate over the course of their education? We’ll call them the “Chocolate Scholars” perhaps.</p>
<p>I second a nomination of the Shenandoah Valley for the new school. Land is cheap, horses abound (so you can develop well-rounded students), and civilization is only a 3-hour car drive away.</p>
<p>don’t forget, in honor of our Prez, we’ll need a complete selection of Top Siders in the Student store…everyone will want to walk in C-Mudge’s shoes. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>PS – we also need some little kiddos: I’d like to nominate Xiggi for our first no-doc, no-fee, no reference app. (On the other hand, we’re all references for the Zig-meister). But, this offer s/b contingent on Xiggi doing a “volunteer” project for the school…designing our testing system, whatever it maybe.</p>
<p>I disagree, pick a southern california location next to the salton sea… perfect weather and nice location + next to civilization</p>
<p>Stale peeps, of course! Also be sure we have on hand Chunkys, Idaho Spuds, Violet Crumble, Panda black licorice, and throw in some diet Moxie for good measure. I’ll have to sneak in to the store from the organic kitchen, though… shhhhhh!</p>
<p>Do Peeps come any other way other than stale? I have to have M&Ms, though it is a requirement.
In my spare time, I’m interested in running the campus ice cream stand - “Ice cream, always a good choice” - favorite flavors?</p>
<p>carolyn - I was assuming there would be a Chocolate Department, perhaps headed by chocoholic? There could be a multidisciplinary major with International Studies and Comparative Chocolate Analysis. So we will need a full complement of lab materials in the store, certainly.</p>
<p>First of all which one of you Peeps freaks is actually the author of Admission Confidential? (Wasn’t she into Peeps?)</p>
<p>Second, in the spirit of taking on jobs that we know nothing about, I would be happy to coach the football team. Under my inexpert tutelage, it will be a free-spirited, losing team with an aversion to the weight room and appreciation for excellent poetry. ;)</p>
<p>
How timely for Confidentialia. President C can wear the appropriate colors for his official portrait! I’m stoked.</p>
<p>This may sound sacreligious, but Peeps are now available chocolate-covered!! The jury is still out as to whether this will solve the combined chocolate/peep addiction, or will be the downfall of peeps as we know them. </p>
<p>Did anyone see the Peeps clip on Saturday night live last night?? Expanding/exploding them in the microwave, listening to their little peep/screams… I fell asleep before I saw if they made any peep s’mores… the suspense is killing me…</p>
<p>By the way, I apologize for by delay in catching this thread. What a breath of slugg-y fresh air!</p>
<p>Do we have our order of bugg juice in for the college store?
And as for the portrait of c’mudge, I thought he already sat for it. Isn’t it :eek: ?</p>
<p>And if we must accept positions that are out of our real world experiences, I must respectfully decline the position in the Health Center, and instead would like to apply for the Head of Houskeeping position, if it has not already been filled.</p>
<p>Hehehe. Kewl.</p>
<p>I wore them full-time on the big trip. Almost busted my :eek: on the snow and ice covered steps/walkways at Grinnell. On one specific bust your :eek: occasion , I was attempting to negotiate a short flight of stairs when on the last step down the relatively slick soled “shoes of choice” slid part of the way out from under me causing me to hurtle forward and around like a very large drunk ice skater attempting a triple Lutz (with what I thought were appropriate vocal effects…screaming).</p>
<p>I managed to right myself and proceeded over to where my loving daughter was staring at me in horror and disbelief. She spun her head around like a lighthouse beacon looking for and finding to her dismay a fairly large group of student witnesses approaching us. She said “Dad” (in that way that says -how dare you!) I responded back with a very parental sounding, and full, version of her name. She countered with “Well. I was afraid you might fall”. I said yeah, right. She quickly admitted, “O.K. I was afraid you might fall …and embarass me!!!”. </p>
<p>By now we were talking in hushed tones as the group of students was closing fast.“Dad . Let’s GO”. Well, why couldn’t we just stay here? (As I continued to gasp for air .) “As what Dad? an EXHIBIT?” That did it. I busted out laughing and sputtering as I attempted to shuffle my humiliated D around the icy corner.</p>
<p>Huh. Maybe that’s why I had a better feeling about that campus than she did. Go figure.</p>
<p>Missed the SNL coverage, but this morning on CBS Sunday Morning was a piece on peep art, and our Sunday paper had a whole piece on them as well.</p>
<p>Haven’t seen the chocolate option, myself.</p>
<p>Head of Housekeeping is a field where many of us choose not to specialize in real life, so we could all qualify, but I think you got there first.</p>
<p>jmmom, simultaneous post! I appreciated your finding the article but as my previous post suggest, I’m in the market for something with some traction.</p>
<p>jmmom-
If there is too much competition for the Head of Houskeeping, I could job-share. Or, I would also be happy to apply for the groundskeepers position, for which I am equally unqualified.</p>
