oh god what if my neighbors read LPTJ?

Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll take a hint?

...and bring it over to your place!  amirite?

So apparently one of the Chicago Transit Authority's catch phrases is or has been at some point in the past, "take it..."

The ellipses obviously obscuring the remainder of the phrase, "...that's right, take the whole thing"

Honesty in advertising is so refreshing when it happens

[elpollodiablo]

"...please"

i was thinking "...or leave it."

That reminds me, yesterday I was wondering if Indiana had ever considered "Is it IN?" for a slogan. I think it could really take off.

"Missouri loves company"

There's more than cooooorn in Indiana....at Indiana Beeeeaaaaach *weeeooowweeeep* 

Were you too young for this commercial RL?  Hell maybe they still play that commercial up your way, as it's closer, but those Indiana Beach commercials were an integral part of my childhood memories of summer.

For a long time, the Cornhuskers had a campaign that had the tagline of "ARE YOU IN?". The whole thing was vaguely totalitarian in a disconcerting sort of way.

yeah i think i saw some commercials this summer with that tag line.  and i could only think to myself 'way to sell yourself short on the first line'  like do they just automatically assume every one's image of indiana is 'aww, there's just corn there'  and their ad team was like 'but wait, you're wrong, technically the state of indiana is NOT one gigantic cornfield" 

couldn't nebraska have gone with "Children of the Corn!" 

or

'Husker Do!

I'm here for training, so my days are booked, but I'm pretty free evenings. I'm leaving Friday afternoon. I'm staying near Herald Square, pretty much across the street from Madison Square Garden. Email in my profile is good.

My girlfriend has been complaining all semester about her shitty business class, which she took despite my warnings that it was gonna be pretty much as bad as she imagined. So to give her some moral support and perhaps some entertainment, I'm gonna go with her today. Apparently there is a lot of hooting and hollering and eating salted snacks and laughing with the professor at stuff on the internet. I wonder if I should go out and get some more beer first.

Ohhhhhh.... so it's "fucking around so nobody learns anything" shitty. Most of my design courses were like that at one point. Can't say I was a fan, but I bet there's a not insignificant number of her classmates that think the teacher walks on water.

[C of heartbreak]

It's a 200-person class, so I'm pretty surprised at how organized the fucking around is. Also, they use a remote control to take quizzes.

And yes, I'm sure there are some flip-flop and upside-down visor-wearing fellows in there who positively adore Mr. At-least-I-admit-my-class-is-a-joke.

Really it's all pretty funny because the gf gets angry so easily.

I had an interactive design course where we basically looked at weird Flash sites the whole time and giggled. Which I guess was a good thing as a fair majority of the class was taking it because they needed a creative class to graduate and the teacher had a reputation for that sort of thing. It was mostly the waste of time and money that I was annoyed by, but I did get my revenge during finals week when I was one of the only people who took enough interest in that class to somehow learn how Flash works.

Yesterday at work I helped train this kid who is in business school. He was surprisingly cool and I did not want to bash his head in with a tire iron. Could I have been wrong about business students this whole time? Were all those head-bashings mistaken?

No and No.

I've met a lot of cool B-school kids, but I assure you they're the exception. Definitely save the tire iron for his classmates.

I mean he has a job that doesn't involve fucking somebody over, he can't be a real business major anyway.

[Wally]

In fact if he's cozying up to you then he's fucking you over with his lies. Set chet on him.

I had an awesome interactive design class where we used motion sensor cameras and Flash action script and made all kinds of fun interactive stuff.  durned if I know what it had to do with architecture, though.  except that the word "spaces" was in the course title.

Yeah, if you could just go ahead and PM me any information you might have on that subject, that'd be great.

Two threads on killing, two threads related to role playing games. I have no words.

My sister's friend's husband was in business school, last time I saw him, and he was an exceedingly cool guy.  He was basically there to learn how to run a non-profit properly, after years of having worked for various organizations devoted to trying to fix urban poverty.  He said he was surrounded by people whom he did not like.  So that's like two data points, there.
