YB's comments are a necessity. Kind of like the defibrillator for the discussion. Every time the thread is about to die he swoops in and swings the floodgates open. Every comment he makes is good for another page.
Keep 'em coming, sparky!

Don't worry, HoyaLawya, that's just a clogging-related quote from an HBO episode of Tenacious D, a comedy rock duo of Jack Black and Kyle Gass. Hoping someone would get it, guess not.
Rest assured, I am in no way part of any Satan worshiping cult in the Bay Area. And SCU is a fine school, about 5 minutes from my high school, Bellarmine College Prep. I did cross country and track there, and we'd sometimes do runs through the Santa Clara campus. Since Bellarmine was an all-guys school, there was always nice "scenery" at Santa Clara, if you know what I mean. I know a lot of people that go there, it's a nice school, my dad recently got his MBA from there.
Velvet Elvis, isn't "Simple Man" a Skynyrd song? Or maybe they're different songs that have the same title.
15 pages, yeah! Do we have what it takes for 20?

Uneasy Rider is where it's at. That line about "long-haired commie type pinko" is songwriting at its best. Apparently, Charlie has lots more to say. So, if we want to change the topic back to good 'ol Charlie, you can check out his website for some yuks -- check out the 'soapbox' section and have some fun. Let me give you an example, straight from Charlie's mouth, er fingertips: <i>Why does a large percentage of the academic community want the world to accept Darwinism as anything more than a theory? Why do they band together and circle the wagons around Darwin refusing to even allow discussions about the subject?...The likelihood of evolution being fact is about the same as millions of blind men solving millions of Rubik’s Cubes at exactly the same instant.</i> But I digress...

The best thing to do in this case HoyaLawya is to realize that with her being 5 minutes away from CaHoya07 and in his general prowling area to just resign yourself to the fact that she will be hit on by CaHoya07...if she hasn't been already. Just warn her about falling for the "Hey want to be on the Hoya Blue Website?" line ;D

Not sure if you were referring to my post, but mine was just a general observation to open up other potential areas of meaningless conversation. It was real slow to access that part of the site. But believe, me, it's worth it....

For the record, I read that as "Charles Darwin has no idea what the hell he's talking about." There. There's my contribution to the thread that will lead the Hoyas to Indianapolis.

I stopped listening to Darwin when he went Disco in the 70s.

Despite the 15 pages of discussion on this, I still have one unanswered question about last Wednesday's exhibition. My friend and I watched and reflected on the performance but could not understand one thing: Why was the fiddle chewing gum?
Was this to signify the stickiness of her situation? Was it a reference to Dante's inferno in which the greatest of sinners are lodged in the devil's jaws? Was it a metaphor for humanity's eternal struggle against sin and temptation? Or did it help her keep time with the music?
I hope we see more from the ballroom dancers next season. Any halftime show that generates this much buzz should be back.
