Back to School

Go, Trojans! 

Since most students are back in school, I thought it would be worthwhile to read Hugh Gallagher’s College Admission Essay again.  This is one of the first things I remember seeing on the internet, other than porn, and is the actual admission letter he sent to colleges.  I still quote lines from it today.

You know you’ve been watching too much TV when you hear that Hurricane Ernesto is heading for Florida, and this is the first thing that comes to mind.  Put on headphones if you’re around someone who may be offended.  Also, be sure to make fun of that person later.

The charges against John Mark Karr were dropped by the Boulder County District Attorney after his DNA didn’t match the evidence found at the crime scene.  This psychopath should spend 50 years in prison just for lying about killing JonBenet Ramsey, and an additional 10 for wearing his pants so high.  WTF?

Elton John says his next record will be Hip-Hop.  Sorry, but I didn’t believe this guy singing, “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting.”  Now, he’s going to rap about popping a cap in someone’s ass?  Okay, I might believe that one.

Great highlights from Monday Night Football. 

What’s your favorite subject?  Poetry, really?  Maybe you can help me straighten out my Longfellow.
