Cancer Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Meanwhile, I continue my corruption of today's youth by sending them links like http://www.ithadtobeyou.net/carpe/archives/000021.html and http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~kovar/hall.html and other philosophy-of-education links.

Cancer Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Me either, truth be told. I know I'm a lousy poker player, so I avoid the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Haven't played for a good while, but we played for, like, three bucks at a time ... Plus, being unschooled in the game, my idiosynchracies made me either win or lose spectacularly. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemming Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I've played poker a few times, but for the social aspect. Once after a thanksgiving dinner, a bunch of us started playing and I'm pretty much a novice. I started raking it in and this was quarter bets. I was up $40 and I came down with food poisoning or flu, and I really wanted to just leave. But I couldn't just go, so I tried losing. DIDN'T WORK! We finally broke up a bit later with me taking in $100 and having to pull over several times on the way home to throwup in bushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Had a thought, spurred by the arrival of a lunch-with-the-dean appointment. Background: I have one class 11:00 to 11:50 local time. Scenario goes like this... Student: "Can I talk to you right now, Professor?" Me: "Now? No, sorry, I've got a meeting with the Dean in a couple minutes. My understanding is that I'm going to be disciplined for giving too many A's."

That would be letting them in as students, not letting them in as staff, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Along the same lines: I would not have thought that having a student double-registered (that is, in two different sections of the same course) to be the crisis situation the Registrar's office seemed to think it was.

RPMiller Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Which flavor? I'm assuming eucalyptus because there aren't any good flavors of d20. He actually didn't say, but there were mentions of 3.0 and 3.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
