Offline for a bit


I gave a final exam today. I’m grading it. I’m giving another one tomorrow. I’ll be grading it then. I am straining to put this semester completely behind me by Friday…so my appearances here will be intermittent.

I know. I’m no fun at all.

    What is more important? Your students and your teaching position? Or providing new content to the Pharynguhorde (which pushes up your advertising income (and provided you with that Ferrari snowmobile for the Minnesota winter (and spring and fall)))? Priorities, man! Pritorities!

    Looks like the PS&SP will have to trebuchet you an End-of-the-Term swill pack. It even includes a permanently dirty looking tea cup and various plant leaves.

    *glare*

    Do not tempt Boreas! My arms still hurt from the 12 inches (30.48 cm) of snow and three days of shoveling that we just got.

    Why not just use your secret interns and researchers post for you?

    Oh wait… I get it now… Very sly. Chris Clarke is actually the avatar that your sockpuppets use to post*. I did notice that Clarke arrived at roughly the same time that you were outed for outsourcing your research and writing to your minions.

    *What would such an entity be called? It is pretty much the opposite of a sockpuppet. Multiple people using one nym.

    I’m up and suffering from insomnia. I am completely new to this… so hope to learn fast. Anyhow, PZ you referenced a quote in a speech I was watching on youtube and you asked us to memorize it. Well, I did not… and was hoping you would tell us what is it again. It was describing a New Atheist and it said something to the effect that we are no longer burned by Catholics.

    I am giving my last final today and already know that I have utterly no hope of finishing my grading on Friday. If you manage to finish yours all I have to say is Phpppppppttttttttttttttt!
    The exit slips for my 162 seat lower division class await. Sigh. Then all the upper division finals, where I generally determine that I would like to hunt down half the class and give them a smack upside the head for doing something too stupid for words.
