There is PIE of a Most Delicious Kind.


Hopefully, he got all the wolfsbane, too.
(Thanks, Ambrosia Slaad!)

TANK GIRL: Under-appreciated cinematic classic? Discuss.


Today I had to deliver harsh truth to my students: "It's time for you people to get your shit together." Any chance it will do any good? I'm not kidding myself. But one does what one can.


And people seriously question what philosophy had done for us. :D


WILL TEACH FOR GAMING MATERIALS

Can't Alex is at his defense right now. :P
At his defense?? OK maybe I do not want to know.
Ummm.... let me rephrase it, if I said his dissertation would that make more sense?
Why yes. It might make it seem more of a scholarly development and less of a legal proceeding.

Yeah they call it a defense here for some reason. But it's the same thing, your final research presentation followed by a grilling question period by your supervisory committee, at the conclusion of which you receive a PHD.

Edit: It would actually be your examination committee not a supervisory committee 2 different bodies. Sorry for the mix up :P

Yep. Dissertation Defense. If only life in general could be so successful. If you people paid more attention to every little detail of my life, you'd be less confused in general. Or is it the other way around? I will argue either thesis for $.

I'm a real doctor, not a physician.

Very good point, as I had misread or misremembered the title as "PERSON" rather than "POSTER." On the other hand, you are assuming that Sebastian would make a critical difference (or maybe even, any difference) in the outcome: a supposition that is far from established.
Well, since Sebastian is so AWESOME!!!!!!1!one!! (which was established as a premise at the beginning of the thread) he'd be able to defeat everyone else, thus rendering everyone else negligable. Since he's on both sides, it should be a draw.

False premises yield false conclusions.

The title of this thread should give us philosophic pause:

Does a poster exist if s/he has never posted?


How am I supposed to get my Dr. Jones on? Damn political correctness.

So here's a fun little habit you might want to lose before becoming a Religion professor at a non-sectarian, public institution of higher learning.

Spoiler:
Yelling, KALI MA!!! and reaching for students hearts. Apparently, it is not only frightening, but religiously offensive to Indian and Nepalese students. Sheesh. Party poopers.


"Rare" cases?

On behalf of myself I wish to thank Paizo by not catering to the lowest common denominator and slathering their products with objectifying, pornographic depictions of women. Truly this is a great victory for human decency and good taste.

That's what pictures of men are for.

Hunka hunka.
I'm still carrying a torch for the Lads of Paizo speedo calendar.
Maybe we can get the good Prof to pose?
Please forgive them, they know not of which they speak.

HEY! Oh, you probably were worried about somebody else. BTW, they made me stop saying, "I wear nothing under these robes," in my intro lecture. Prudes.

Don't we need someone new to take his place in the Vaughan-Pett-Logue love/feud triangle (henceforth, the lofrangle)? My reading of the Book of Revelations and the Mayan Calender indicates that, without Logue, Vaughan and Pett will combine to form a demogorgan-esque creature which will consume the stars and void.

This is some solid stuff right here.


Just to be clear, Universe, I would be happy to take a TT faculty position in Kansas. Very happy.

You can't prove that.

Dude! Winky face absolves comment of all malice. Sheesh.
Hey, there's perfectly good malicious smiles...

I told you this in the other thread, but I think you have some berries in your ears:

Don't be a dick! ;-)

(See, winky face absolves all malice!)

(Wait...can you even absolve malice?)

That's what absolution is for, lapsed RC.

Yeah, but isn't it sin that's absolved, not malice? Or is the existence of malice in the past a sin, and therefore capable of absolution. Don't you have some type of advanced degree on point? You have like 30, right?

Wait...isn't sin a giant ball of water that destroys cities?

Vocabulary is hard.

Come over some time. Some scotch over a couple of volumes of the works of St. Tommy and then we'll watch that Clint Eastwood movie where he plays a character based on John Huston. That'll make sense of it all.

One to treat the outside and one to treat the inside. This follows the sound principle: The whole man is sick; the whole man must be treated.

Hey Leafy quick question

** spoiler omitted **

Ah...the dog collar. I'm not sure I can beat Wikipedia on this one. Like most clerical garb, the stiff collar is an older style of clothing that has been kept and incorporated into liturgical and/or clerical clothing as societal styles moved on. While older pieces, such as the palladium, have been invested with symbolic meaning, I have never heard anyone attribute any to the collar. Like the clerical shirt (or vest) and cassock with which it is worn, it is as more a signifier than a symbol. (Attn: I'm a priest.) The purpose for wearing it is to identify one as a priest in public, so that one is available to people in any setting, whether they have a relationship with a priest or parish or not.

Outside of Roman (and Eastern) circles, the collar (along with other garb) was for sometime a good indicator of how high church a cleric you were looking at, especially in Anglican/Episcopal circles (and perhaps also with Lutheran pastors). At one time, liberal and evangelical clergy wouldn't have been got dead in one. Now its use is more widespread (denominationally, if not numerically) and is often worn for convenience sake more than for reasons of a traditional vision of 24/7 ministry (e.g., "The hospital won't give me any trouble if I wear my collar.") Its popularity in the Anglican Communion is especially due to the influence of the Oxford Movement (early/mid 19th C). Due to the prestige of Anglicanism, the practice spread to other groups (who don't have priests but other kinds of ministers) who either wanted to look more churchy or benefit from its practical side. There is a also a version that has two bands hanging down from the collar. This is often called "preaching bands."

No. Think of it as knowing what edition you are playing.
