Another Accomplished Stutts Student
Please drop by the MySpace site of Hart Fox and say hello. Hart is currently a sophomore at my prestigious alma mater Stutts University. I particularly recommend his blurgh.
Mentioning current Stutts students seems like a good opportunity to point out that I myself went to Stutts.
So let me seize this opportunity: I myself went to Stutts. That is, I am an alumni* of Stutts University.
But please, don't be intimidated. It's really not that big a deal. (That I went to Stutts!)
*This is in fact correct usage. See comments below.
Posted at April 1, 2006 01:49 PM | TrackBackWell, I for one am not impressed. I met Hart online after using the Batch Profile Uploading option over at Google Romanceâ„¢ and was shocked, shocked!, to find out he's already in a committed relationhsip.
Thankfully, some of my other profiles came through and I am now dating a more honest Stutts undergraduate who I am assured is over 18.
IT IS A BIG DEAL, that you yourself went to STUTTS!!!11!! Don't downplay it. And, of course, I might add I also AM A STUTTS ALUM!!!11!!
Have you considered getting a tatoo?

Posted by: Nell at April 1, 2006 07:52 PMmk,
Keep in mind that the "UnCleen" (Stuttese for non-Stutts humans) don't count. So Hart could date both his current amour AND you, and indeed marry you both, without technically being in a committed relationship.
spiiderweb,

You're right, I shouldn't downplay it...but we Stuttsians have been discriminated against by the jealous for so many centuries it's difficult to break the habit.
Re: a tattoo -- yes, I have a tattoo saying "I WENT TO STUTTS" on my forehead. Also, eight class rings.
Nell,
Ah...yes, it would be alumnus. That is, it would be if indeed I'd gone to any other school but Stutts. As only those who went are aware, we use the CORRECT Latin, a form unknown to the UnCleen.

who had diminutive organs of sex.
When charged with exposure,
he replied with composure,
"de minimis non curat lex."
Alumnus? Alumni?
Res ipsa loquitur, you lot, quoth Harry Potter.
Posted by: Jesus B. Ochoa at April 2, 2006 10:27 AMthe CORRECT Latin,
Ah yes, the little known nominative regal, the sudden switching to plural from singular in clauses denoting affilliation with Stutts.
Posted by: at April 2, 2006 11:43 AMStutts... is that a four-year school?
that google romance is like a parody of itself...
Posted by: sam at April 2, 2006 12:05 PMErr, sorry about that, I had cleared my comment form somehow. But yes, I looked up nominative regal in Wheelock's. Which of course, was used at Stutts.
Posted by: Saheli at April 2, 2006 01:09 PMFor those of us who attended Stutts, it is not a 4 year school. It is forever.
