Heads up!

[muckefuck]

Don't forget, people: Martinis tonight! Blue Line Club Car in Bicker Park, sixish--thunderstorms or no! The first toast will be to the oversized legend that is the Busy Bee One True Polish Diner Experience; the second will be the conventional remembrance of absent friends, especially those present in spirits such as darkphuque, danbearnyc, chrislehrich, my_tallest, and monshu. (If you are childless and don't see your name in that list, then I expect to see you there!)

caitalainn, you are excused due to unfortunate Texanosity, but you owe it to yourself to have a gander at this instead.

Also, if any of you academic types haven't read febrile's ganking of one blogger's assault on plagiarism in our schools (and his value-added commentary), you might want to.

Lastly, I need a name for a particular physical type: The stocky (heavy-set but not really corpulent), tallish, bearded, dorky or borderline-dorky, straight- or bi-A/A guy with long hair and a preference for trenchcoats, beaters, and other flowing outerwear. Black clothes and dyed hair optional. (If any of you happen to know alacrity, you know what I'm getting at--no offence, guy; I think you're the cutest!)

I saw another one on the train today: His brunette hair was dyed bright red, he was wearing a shockingly dark yellow dress shirt under his dark trench and drinking orange juice from the carton!

(1) Texas totally sucks.

(2) The Silent Bob type?

(2) - exactly. I though Kevin Smith created those characters out of whole cloth - until we saw a Jay and Silent Bob duo in the mall one day.

Another friend of mine linked to that article as well, and one of her friends, who sits on the student disciplinary council, told a funny story....

Apparently, one fellow's excuse for the council was that it wasn't his fault his paper was plagiarized: his girlfriend wrote it.

"...we are all children in the arms of Chivas."

And to think I just canned two students today for plagiarism.
