"..Given that Mills, a small and leafy liberal arts school historically referred to as the Vassar of the West,
only admits women as undergraduates."
Do you guys have ANY idea how hard I would laugh if a (straight) guy claimed he was a "woman trapped in a man's body" and forced them to admit him? Oh, the liberal conundrums, LOL!
"Yet increasingly, the "shes" and "hers" that dominate the introductions are keeping third-person company with "they," 'ze'"
"Ze"? Do you have to say that one with a Pepe Le Pew accent?

Mills College is obviously a hangout for the mentally ill. Beware of hiring anyone with that diploma.

Agree. Talent and ability not required to go there.
As grads, they are only good to be public servants or senators.

these things will NOT fare well outside of their academic little cocoon...

Personally, I prefer to be addressed as:
“Excellency”,
“Most Noble & Wise One”
“Sahib”
but I will settle for my Chinese name...
There are the Changs
There are the Wu
There are the Yang,
There are the Chou.
I am of the Yu clan...
I answer to Hey Yu.
(I know, terrible pun, but after an idiotic story like this, I had to do something “highbrow” to clear my mind)

El Rushbo has always claimed to be a male lesbian as this is the only PC way to hit on women.
A hetero guy says he is a lesbian trapped in a man’s body & demands both consideration & admittance to the girls’ dorms. How can they refuse him? That would be sexist.
Anyway, the denizens of this small liberal arts college sound like “heeshees” IMO.

To: Lion Den Dan
Like the classic Lowell Thomas blooper as he described Pres. Eisenhower’s motorcade visiting Hershey, Pa.
“Thirty thousand or more people were cheering Ike, all the folks who make Hershey’s chocolate, with and without nuts.”
Lowell’s live broadcast ground to a halt as he succumbed to a severe attack of the giggles.

LOL. I never heard of that. I wonder if there is a recording of that broadcast.

Lowell Thomas bloopers are on youtube. Collected on audiodisc & marketed decades ago by Kermit Schaefer, for which Lowell never forgave him.
News Fail vids catch this sort of thing monthly now. Always entertaining to see newsies caught in the act of being human. Put in keywords “weather cant stop laughing” on youtube for examples of fractured forecasters.
