GRATZ to Bobo

On his sweet new tenured gig at Middlebury College, situated in a scenic Vermont hamlet where chain stores and billboards are forbidden, and the locals ensure a bountiful harvest by ritual stoning of the weak and unpopular.

He assures me that moving to the east coast will mean MORE VISITS , demonstrating the sort of slippery logical prowess that gets you to the top of the academic heap.

He also says that tenure is a synonym for teaching class in a loincloth, so I'm looking forward to students posting cell phone videos of his lectures on the internets.

I wonder if I can wrangle a day trip to New York out of him.

woody you can wrangle anything you want from me - that said NY is 6 hours away. A day trip to Boston or Montreal is more likely...

ok, but does TENURE mean that he can get away with hiding a server box in his office for AKshown? The fabled rebirth of South, or rather EAST?
