If Harvard Alumns love Unique Protocols...

...I can conjure up some doozies for them to indulge in...

Veritas, why go through all that expense and self-abasement just for a Taste of Juchi? After all, for the cost of a couple of Pale Ale's in some dank Cambridge tavern they could get their complete fill of Joechi.

"Demonstrations of respect for the country's late leader, Kim Il Sung, and for the current leader, Kim Jong Il, are important," instructs the Harvard Alumni Association's tour memo.

"You will be expected to bow as a gesture of respect at the statue of Kim Il Sung and at his mausoleum."


At $636 a night, it's worth every penny.

And by the way, what the heck is an alum, or, for that matter, what are alumns? Don't know if AA was just quoting Harvard here, in all its Juchi splendor, or following (however inadvertently) in the Joechi path -- probably the former, because of the scare quotes.

For the record, though, let me set things straight: correct Latin is alumnus/alumni (masculine) and alumna/alumnae (feminine). Anything else is PC crock.

Yes, I was quoting the Harvard article. Methought Harvard Lingo should be presented in its purest form.

If JJ were not asleep at the wheel (as is his wont) he could share with us the finer points of calling people "chairs," or using constructs such as "they is." Those Cambridge alehouses (or is it the evil cell fryers?) tend to do that to one's speech. Maybe a cure of Montanan fresh air has changed his speech patterns to the better? One never knows with a wolf in sheep's clothes...

If AI hadn't spent the last cold day grading whatever algebraic nonsense he is corrupting the young with, he might have caught the last of the DPA in the aforementioned dank smelly Cambridge cellar. Now all that's left around here is masterpiece of zymurgy. Good goin' AI!

Rolling rock gathers no moss. I'm confident DPA will reappear. It's still cold and damp, why not?

Hates California
Says it's cold and it's damp.
That's why the lady's a tramp.

Thank you AI for the Sinatra allusion. Call JHBH for the beer schedule. They are tired of telling me. I thin you are way too optimistic.
