Why can't they think of something more novel to say than "wrong color shirt"? If we've heard than one once, we've heard it a gazillion times.

This reminds me of the time some fool told the OP "It takes a lot of guts to wear that shirt around here." The OP gave him a huge grin and replied, "Yep. It sure does!" :ymsmug:

No work this weekend for me! I'm going to go out and play, but I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do. Maybe photography early in the morning. Hopefully all of you have fun plans! :9f:

At any rate, he went to the front desk of the Cavalier to get a new key. The girl behind the counter noticed his DUKE shirt and said, "ooh, that's the wrong color shirt." He asked, "what is the right color?" and she said, "carolina blue, of course."

A fun Monday it was! Today was my first caffeine-free (and meatless) Monday. I actually had a tofu dish for lunch that was so good I ate the leftovers for supper. :9f:

Sounds like you had fine folks to visit at almost every stop. Is there going to be a St. Louis trip for the college tour? It would give you a fine excuse for trips to Ted Drewes, Schafly's, and Blueberry Hill. :9f:

Thanks! All systems go for one participant. Further strategizing to come this week. It will take careful navigation of political waters, and that's all I'll say for now. Interesting times ahead. :9f:

WashU was last summer. That went a little better than did the Duke tour, but mostly because of the Hill, Ted Drewes, and one of my former students ( who babysat LL, and is now an Anthro prof there).

Alas, Turk has set up shop in the wrong end of the Commonwealth outside of Philly (Mrs. Turk doesn't think this is so bad), a mere 4 hrs or so from the ancestral (?) Turk roost. Am just up the road from Villanova, and know a little bit about St. Joe's and the other Philly Big 5 schools if they ever wind up on anyone's list. (Are you still keeping an eye on Ursinus, CathyCA?). Swee'Pea is liking Pitt very much; she kicked butt her first year and landed with a good group of kids in her dorm. This year she takes on O-Chem, which I understand is what separates the pre-med pretenders from the contenders. I am about as objective as Dookie V here, but I'll take the kid and give the points.

Looking forward to hearing how the Lavabe clan works through the selection process...
