I'll share some of my coral pad

Really? Do you keep coral? Got any pics? I'd love to set up a reef tank, but my current environs aren't capable of supporting it. Maybe when I win the lottery .....

(3) Texts for the Sake of Texts
Crowley divides texts into the poststructural kind and the current-traditional variety. Her version of poststructural defines texts that exist just because they do…Texts are produced in and of themselves, for themselves, and for the sake of other texts…and exist just because they do, just to be happy with other texts.-- Martine Courant Rife (MSU)

Being one who rather likes synthesising the manifold of inner intuition, if you'll allow me to be a little old-fashioned for a moment, I see in this quote a clear solution to the smoking jacket conundrum. Now I don't go in for vulgar compromise I'll have you know; my solution is I hope elegant in its simplicity and within the financial means of C&F to implement.

Let's give Carol a dust jacket.

Congratulations, Carol. I snuck into the 1k lounge through the back door a week or so ago. I'm still semi-lurking behind the sofa.

Alas, only in my imagination. I was speaking from the standpoint of the loverly group photo montage.

Now that's the kind of old-fashioned synthesized manifold of inner intuition I would expect from my distinguished committee member Wombat. Brilliant, and highly poststructural!

Now that brings up a good point. Where exactly is everyone else's thesis?? Surely I didn't misunderstand the requirements?

But while this is being looked into, come on out from behind the sofa, Mike, and welcome! I'd love to bend your ear a little on my research!

And Mark--yes. Not only were there no tassels, there were no fishnet stockings, no spikey high heels, no police "uniforms"--just that jacket!

I submitted mine when I became a Stonecutter, and since then my Son-of-a-Stonecutter ID card has provided me access to a number of lounges without submitting a thesis

Ah good question. My thesis is a visual thesis, see those paintings on black velvet hanging on the walls of the lounge, similar to this

My thesis primarily tackles the concept of poststructuralism, and, as such, is rather hard to pin down although I believe that several chiffers caught a shadowy glimpse of it slipping between the cracks of the whistle/pub divestiture.

So YOU made Steve Gutenberg a star?!?!!!?
Grrrrrr....

Thesis?...Thesis??...We don't need no steenkin' thesis!

I've got about 700 posts to go, but I'd better get started on the research ASAP. I can't just make this one up, like I did with my senior research project, "The Kellogg-Briand Pact -- A Documentary History of Its Impact on Cereal Consumption in Post-War America."

Now you tell me!

Ah yes. I confess I took a few liberties in my own senior research project, "Fort Ticonderoga: #2 Pencils in the French and Indian War," but you're right: there's no place for that kind of scholarship here.

A competent piece of scholarship, marred only by the absence of repeated reference to the concept of discourse. Magna cum laude.
