"Easy now, fuzzy little man peach!" My [spontaneously arrived at] rule of thumb: if someone older than you calls you "old," it's a compliment; if someone younger than you calls you old, it's the Battle of Marston Moor.

I'd love to be Old anything. Like if I had some kind of lore around me in my neighborhood, where children gathered around campfires, or smartphones probably, and told mildly terrifying stories about Old Mel's house. "We can't trick or treat there, that's Old Mel's house!" Another life goal. Mippipopolous and positivitize 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Old Bill Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 So for ... and giggles, I just looked up "Old Mel" on Google to see if there was any good thread fodder...and I wasn't disappointed. Those Aussies, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True story: when I was in grade 9 (so '93 / '94) I had a habit of writing down lyrics in class of favorite songs. One day some jerk of a classmate stole my transcription of "Bat Out of Hell" and gave it to some girl, telling her that I wrote her a poem. They never found his body. Just kidding.(Just kidding because they DID find his body...or what was left of it when I was through with him...)Okay, just kidding for reals this time. jackdacjson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think I could write poetry (7th-10th grade circa 1999 - 2002). I think that same jerk kid was in my class, cause some dude stole some of my poems and told one of my female classmates that they were for her. She handled it well, but I was embarrassed to the core. Kids can be mean, man....especially when they're making problems disappear... or so I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I conducted myself very much this same way in my MA program's mixed delivery (some online, some in-person) Bibliographical Methods class. My professor was a man with the saddest eyes I've ever seen, and occasionally he would say things to me, such as, "I would complain about the gif of Keanu Reeves you posted with your response last week, but it was relevant, so I'm very conflicted about it," or, "It's not that I don't agree that Dieter Borchmeyer is a great name for a Doberman..."
