I told the kid about to take exam that if he could write an essay successfully justifying why he chose to wear his unusual hat and kept it on indoors, I would give him five extra credit points. It was a black, bumpy, skull-grabbing thing that appeared to have been extruded out the backside of some angry fowl.
He did not write the essay.
I told one student that I wanted to ask him a question but that I couldn’t look directly at him because his vivid florescent green sweater hurt my eyes. The sweater had a zipper in the front, which was open to reveal a wrinkled “message” t-shirt (which I couldn’t read). But aren’t all t-shirts message shirts today?
This is relevant because as another student was handing in his exam, I told him, “I hope you studied, else your t-shirt is going to be accurate.” It read, “Colege. The Best Seven Yeers of My Life [sic].” He chuckled, but did not admit to studying.
Just in case you thought I had any compassion, I can tell you that I asked another student how long did it take him to get just the right angle on his baseball cap? It was neither front-to-back nor back-to-front, nor, even, side-to-side. If I had to guess, I would say the bill was rotated about seventy-two degrees to the right of his nose. He, too, just chuckled.
I asked a similar question to another young man whose hair was gathered in the center of his head, spiked up Mohawk style and glued there with copious amounts of grease. I told him that I worried he would not have time enough each day to fit in studying and sculpting...

Indeed, I have noticed less weird stuff on guys at colleges. The biggest problem is the women wearing literally next to nothing...Even over-weight ones, flopping and spilling out of their skimpy attire.
They look like a freshly opened can of biscuits.
Later on in the article, he says that at around Thanksgiving, they start coming to class in their PJs. I can attest to this. My brother, who attends a private college, was quite horrified to see people flouncing in in slumberwear and slippers. He said that they might as well replace their desk seats with toilets so that they could multi-task on their morning routine.
I have seen the PJ thing. Truly Idiocracy.
This is just part of the liberal dreamworld in which everyone is immature and pleasure-seeking. The professors are ensconced in their “ivory tower” so they can promote such lifestyles. Why mature...maturity is so “uptight” and then. Perpetual preadolescence is the answer.
Exactly. And the liberal dreamworld is facing the nasty ring of an alarm clock. And that bell tolls unemployment.
Thanks a lot! A sight picture I didn’t need. Once gain I am struck down by hysterical blindness! My mind is wrecked for the next few hours.
Yeah the tats are crazy. I dropped off my kids at school today and one of the teachers, a 20 something, cute, had her hair pulled back and a tat behind her ear. You want to tell them "hey you're gonna be a mom and a grandma some day!"
What I want to know is how are they going to explain a “tramp-stamp” to their kids?
