I find this image disturbing for two reasons. First is the fact that someone actually spent many hours creating this monstrosity of a sweater. How could anyone think this is fashionable? I mean, even if it is meant as a joke, why would you spend so much time on something that will only generate a few chuckles? Second is the fact that I am reminded of Wesley Crusher. Long ago I had repressed this

Joel, funny you should say that, because there is something in San Francisco that reminds me of Dayton. That's the electric trolley buses, which only exist in a handful of cities in North America, Dayton and SF included. Yeah, I'm that kind of nerd.

Reyerson, I think I'd pay to see either one of those. But only a small amount.

In a faceoff between a 15 passenger van and a human-donkey hybrid, who wins? There are two opinions on this matter:
1. We all win. In a titanic clash between Detroit's finest and nature's twisted worst, we would have a rootin' tootin' good show.
2. We would all lose. the Z-ass would undoubtedly win. In the process, this genetic-mutation-baby-bonnet-sick-freak-horror-show would eat the van

Very cheerful. Good clean wholesome fun. A bunch of kids out enjoying the summer in an appropriate and respectful manner. And a little humor thrown in for good measure!

This seems like the type of thing you'd see at your local Christian youth group meeting. This can mean only one thing...JP, are you God?

I could swear there is a catfish torpedo basket at Long John Silver's, but I can't find it on their menu. What makes it a torpedo?

I think it would be better as the Catfish Torpedo BOX. Or Catfish Torpedo Hot Box.

Joel P,
How you be my man. Dude, I was already your fan, but after seeing that video, you just might have a groupie! Good to hear from you, hope you are well. I'm about to graduate from college, woohoo. I'll still be holding it down in Durham at the bookshop so stop by any time. We never did have a housewarming party at the house, but there is some possibility of it happening this summer

2007-04-03T12:45:00.000-05:00

OK, so if a snack may be defined by it's say, fat or caloric intake, there are a few things to look at. According to McDonald's, a hamburger has less calories and fat than any snack wrap. But, a hamburger is small there and might constitute a snack to an average adult consumer of Mickey D's. A medium fry beats all the wraps in terms of calories and fat, but not by much, so perhaps they can be

2007-03-30T10:09:00.000-05:00

I've actually eaten the Snack Wrap. In fact, I once consumed two of them at one sitting, thus, I guess, transforming them into a meal. Which brings up another question, how many snacks does it take to constitute a meal?

My larger problem is that the wraps tasted like shit and were expensive. If one is to label something a snack, indeed, said item should be priced accordingly.

2007-03-29T12:58:00.000-05:00

This food item is probably targeted towards women. Women, in general, tend to watch what they eat more than men (remember my brat picturs, Huge?). Thus, there is a societal pressure on women to eat like a bird. This pressure exerts guilt. McDonalds has skirted this by calling the snack wrap a "snack". By calling it a snack, there is less guilt associated with it, and therefore more people will

Here's my mug: don't tell me what's a snack and what's not a snack. I can decide for myself.

2007-03-29T08:40:00.000-05:00

ZMurder's logic is airtight here. I agree that what constitutes a snack is a matter of scale. It doesn't change what a wrap is, by definition.

Let's talk pizza. Is a pizza without tomato sauce still a pizza? Like one with pesto sauce? I argue that without tomato sauce, it ceases to be a pizza and becomes more of a huge, open-faced sandwich for hippies.

I was sort of done with this whole thing, assuming we were at a standstill but Joel's comments are so ridiculous that they deserve a response.

1. "I find it obscene to suggest the market will decide if someone can attend college."

Why is this obscene? A lot of people want to go to college. A lot of people don't. A college education will make you more money in the long run.

3. You distrust the profit motives of private lenders.

"__snip__Luckily, they are constrained by the laws of supply and demand. Current market rates for student loans are between 7 and 11 percent."

Supply and demand? Who doesn't buy into the bs that college is the best thing a person can do? Shit, your article (er..blogpost) says I can make a million more dollars in my lifetime

Just a couple comments/questions for clarification. First, this $20k increase in salary post-graduation ... that must be an average of all academic fields? Therefore the one student with the Engineering degree who makes $100k/year is perhaps pushing that number up while ten social scientists are making $2k more a year? I'd be interested to see that figure disaggregated.

Secondly,

2007-03-25T23:06:00.000-05:00

"are access to loans and subsidization of loans truly separate matters?"

I don't know either. I'm sure they are connected (loan access guaranteed within the same policy as student loan subsidization). But I think we can both agree that, conceptually, they are separate. In other words, I can envision a government policy that subsidizes student loans, or even provides no-interest
