PhD applicant Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) I just was thinking. We should make badges or buttons that say 'I remember dfindley' and wear them to conferences so we can recognize each other and say 'hey, sup?'. Update: Have someone who will make iron-on patches for us for free. Considering also suggestion of 'my metaphysics are awesome'.

bar_scene_gambler Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'd wear one. Just a little button on the lapel, maybe have a quote from dfindley on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhD applicant Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Okay, update: I just talked to someone who can make us some iron-on patches for free.

PerpetualApplicant No More Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Brilliant. But wasn't it "My metaphysics are superior"? PhD applicant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRising Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I can see it now: You're at a conference, looking to find Professor so-and-so in the hallway so you can ask him that question about modal realism. Your black blazer is soiled with a hoagie from yesterday, but no matter. Your trusted "I remember dfindley" button will draw the attention away. Before bending down to tie your shoe, you catch your reflection in the mirror. You're pretty sure there's someone behind you. Something warm grazes your ear. "I am dfindley," he whispers. shelbyelisha, PhD applicant, philosophia14 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably there's a sort of tingling in your spine at this point. You turn around to see a man, medium build, corduroy suit, mildly disheveled in his general appearance. Slowly your eyes come to meet, and there is a kind of tacit knowing behind each person's eyes. Then, finally, you open your mouth to speak: "Dude. Why are you whispering shit in my ear? That's fucking creepy dude." PRising 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
