My question upon seeing the above photo:


Who the f$@& takes college graduation photos?

I've seen that from people who are graduating from small colleges and universities, those that seem more like an extended high school rather than what we might consider a university environment.

There's a woman in my office who displays her graduation picture from Strayer. It is both the nicest and saddest thing I've ever seen.

I assumed Gun Sponge's thought at the time was "I can't believe I made it!"

But I'm sure she's headed for a career as an Astrophysicist at CERN.

My favorite story like this is from Dr. Mrs.. When she was in her doctoral program one of her dissertation advisers was a wonderful crotchety, very old school, guy. Basically Christopher Lasch only less pop and more serious scholarship. She was meeting with a mint new faculty member and her adviser walked in, glanced at his PhD mounted on his office wall, and said "Well, I assumed."

So for those of you playing at home: unless you're a medical doctor or a lawyer, don't do that sh-t. Act like you belong there.

Boy, nothing like the feeling of finally getting to third base and touching nothing but cold, hard steel.

Standard Right Wing methodology and gameplan. They're all hypocrites.

I've seen a few people who have their degrees up at work, even in their cubes(!). I've never understood it but never really thought about it much either. I have mine at home hanging up in my future home office. But no one ever sees them but me. To be honest though, whatever. If it makes someone happy, do it.

In my time in the Federal Government, managers had the "I love me" wall with every photo of every award they ever received. I guess we were supposed to be impressed.

Yeah, there could be a lot of reasons for it. It might just be vanity. But it might be something else. Maybe they were the first in their family to go to college or get a degree. Maybe someone along the way told them they were wasting their time and money going to college. Maybe they had to work two jobs and take care of a kid at home while they were going to school and they consider it the accomplishment of their lifetime.

My view is that if they want to display the certificates where others can see them, good on them. :)

The Tennessee coed at the museum was an amateur. No holster; poor concealment.

Meet a pro.

That would be ... 3 loaded firearms*, 2 spare magazines, and a switch blade on the left thigh.**


*And not compacts, full frames, with magazines
**To the tune of the 12 Days of Christmas
