Hey, at least we're not doing the threatening...

[crankyasanoldma.livejournal.com]

NOT YET.

[blanx73.livejournal.com]

But soon.

We'll see how he does. I give him 1.5 games to get his shit together. Then, if the team isn't explosively awesome, the house-egging begins in earnest.

[blanx73.livejournal.com]

1.25. This is a new U-M.

[crankyasanoldma.livejournal.com]

Also, because this is Ann Arbor, the eggs will be from free-range chickens.

Speaking of U-M news, they can't have spring graduation in The Big House. Too much construction. OMG!

So they're having it at Rynearson stadium. I predict big-time whining from students, and in a way I don't blame 'em.

That's a downer for those students. The law school graduated at the State theater, in the winter. It was mighty classy. My robe had fur bits.

[crankyasanoldma.livejournal.com]

I could have gone to THREE graduations-- my school's, Rackham's, and Big Momma in the Big House. I did the Rackham one only. In Crisler, which was way blah.

Law School always uses MI Theater, don't they?

[blanx73.livejournal.com]

And by the State theater, I meant the michigan theater. D'oh.

[crankyasanoldma.livejournal.com]

If you typed State, I didn't even notice--I filled "Michigan" right in, mentally. I wasn't asking as in, don't you mean the MICHIGAN Theatre, but more like Don't they ALWAYS do it there?

The street is always swarming with 'em, plus the marquee has it up there. Since I work right there, I never miss the day. Also, it's usually a weekday.

All those bright shiny new law school grads with those HUGE LOAN BURDENS.

[blanx73.livejournal.com]

Never point that out to them. It makes the photos with the folks really depressing.

If in a single day I counted up the number of times I thought to myself, "what the fuck is wrong with people?", I would run out of numbers.

Div III, baby! Take it from me, it's very low pressure.

[crankyasanoldma.livejournal.com]

You can do me one better, can't you? No football team AT ALL? Talk about no pressure.

[unclebill35.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no pressure!

[davew0071.livejournal.com]

Didn't they have the Fencing Violets at one point?

I want a vintage NYU varsity jacket for fencing!

[delphica.livejournal.com]

Still do, still well ranked. You wouldn't even need a vintage jacket.

[davew0071.livejournal.com]

Okay, so where do I get one?

(Not that I deserve one; the only foil I know from comes in a roll from Reynolds Aluminum.)

I mean, how's this for the unfairness of the universe: I send my kid to NYU for four years, get myself mortgaged to the eyeballs for my trouble, and I only this year got a T-shirt because I TOLD HER TO GET ME ONE FOR CRIMMIT!!

I mean, where's the justice in this world?

[delphica.livejournal.com]

The football team t-shirt is the best seller at our bookstore, though!

Is that Clown College or Hamburger U.? :-)
