Loose Cans

NYU just now (I sent in my application what, a month ago?) sent me an somewhat preposterous email telling me that my application is incomplete. What is missing, of course, is up to me to figure out. I responded thus:

"Heaven knows all kinds of whatnot goes wayward in transatlantic travel; probably none of my many transcripts from various institutions in various hemispheres have arrived yet.  Don't sweat it, though. Feel free to toss my application entirely; my first choice school has accepted me after a turbulent engagement and we eloped at once, so I would rather NYU not expend the time or energy on one so thoroughly spoken for.  So thank you, and have a nice day."

Suckaz.

And I just happened across this in the comments section of the blog page for my old Hip-hop essay:

"Get any Desired College Degree, In less then 2 weeks!

Call this number now 24 hours a day 7 days a week (413) 208-3069

Get these Degrees NOW!!!

"BA", "BSc", "MA", "MSc", "MBA", "PHD",

Get everything within 2 weeks.
100% verifiable, this is a real deal

Act now you owe it to your future.

Makes you wonder why I bothered with anyone else.

To quote Wonkette: "Stephen Colbert is insulted by bloggers’ claims that he has brass balls. Since birth he’s been swinging only the heartiest lead cannonballs, thank you."
