Doug Murray - Senior Year?

[Greg Berge]

It's been a long time since I learned two new words in one sentence, when the author wasn't Rex Stout.  Thanks, Thom.  :-)

My pleasure, I felt I had to prove my intelligence due to my few mispellings which always seem to get pointed out:-P

People like you explain why I rocked the SAT verbal but didn't do anywhere near as well on the vocab bits of the GRE.  Sometimes I actually think my vocabulary shrank during college. Too much time spent on chem and bio I guess....

or mebbe it was all the beer and hockey. I dunno.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...dictionary.com ::laugh::   It's just way too easy to forget all those humanities classes in high school, isn't it?!?!

Back in the day I taught GRE and SAT and Kaplan.  There is no difference in the difficulty of the verbal (or math, for that matter) sections on those exams.  They should let you keep reading books while taking all of those science courses.  

Unless that means the bridges will start collapsing . . .

Speaking of standardized tests, I just read that Thomas Vanek, next year's alleged top recruit (Minnesota) had to re-take his SAT's to be "eligeable" (guess he's not the only one). Right up there with the UNH player who told us he does an hour of homework a week. Certainly makes me proud(er) of our boys.

Naah. I was just a lowly food science major. It would just mean that your twinkies would taste like ass... B-]

Twinkies already do taste like ass..... ::yark::

[CowbellGuy]

Twinkies used to taste great. But that was probably before you were born. Now, sadly, you are correct. :`(

oh ::uhoh:: seems like processed foods keep getting worse.....we could blame it all on the food science majors::rolleyes::

Twinkies used to taste great back in the day because you were a kid then.  I'm convinced that the flavor of Twinkies hasn't changed a lick since my Dad was a kid, except that they've been getting progressively more stale.  In fact, I'm convinced that the current twinkies were made in the same batch as the ones that were sold when my Dad was a kid.   ::nut::

At any rate, a lot of the Twinkies tasting like ass has to do with getting older, and possibly wiser.  Remember blue raspberry ice pops?  I used to love those, but I can't stomach it anymore.  I guess the charm of a blue tongue no longer outweighs the general nastiness of the flavor. . .  ::yark:: :-))
