Out yourself!! Part 14 and two thirds

[matedog]

It's a state of mind. You were born a grad student...

Well, if grad student means studying by myself and saying fuck you to the concept of classes, then yes. Unfortunately most American universities require you take classes.

Sorry to ignore the flurry of bon mots being expectorated here, but eumaas has just summarized what I learned in academic year 1998-99 at the University of Iowa, American Studies grad program.

He pretty much summarized the 90s for me, actually.

eumaas, Wolter, and Medulla: Kids, don't bother going to school.

If you want to learn, a library card and internet access is all you need.[/quote]

I guess that's probably true of your fluffy liberal arts majors.

It's possible to learn pretty much any field by books--it's not like there's a hell of a lot of hidden oral tradition out there. You're an engineer, not a fucking Jedi.

Sorry, I just saw an opportunity for elitisism, something that doesn't happen very often around here for me. But yeah, I think you are talking about the "Good Will Hunting" theory.

Elitism? Engineers are like one step above janitors.

Yeah, except we built this fucking world. I think it I've said it before, but we are basically all a bunch of demigods.

I like to call it the "me from age 6 to 18" theory.

Wolter and Hooks: maybe you should let him know the kind of stuff I was posting here at age 16.

I heard you also built this city on rock and roll.

I heard you also built this city on rock and roll.

If I could add a little bit of rock and roll to my profession, I'd probably enjoy it a lot more. :(

Yeah. You built it at the behest of the people that actually mattered, servant.

[eumaas]

Bingo!

The kind of stuff that made me think that you weren't really sixteen. Apart from the NSync fanfic.

[Flex]

The kind of stuff that made me think that you weren't really sixteen. Apart from the NSync slash fanfic.

Yeah, but at least he used that stuff to highlight class struggle.

[Wolter]

The kind of stuff that made me think that you weren't really sixteen. Apart from the NSync slash fanfic.

Yeah, but at least he used that stuff to arouse Hookworm's prurient interest.

He's good that way.

[Dr. Medulla]

Yeah, but at least he used that stuff to highlight class struggle.

True, but homoerotic undertones made the whole thing very ambiguous.
