Not a Candidate for Dream Job
Although this link has undoubtedly circled the Internet fifty-odd times (what's the deal with that expression anyway? (blank-odd) (self-enunciate the preceding question in a Seinfeldesque manner for added humor)) it probably has not so penetrated the Blogosphere, as most blogs worth reading consider this type of "news" too trivial for posting. Fortunately, it's most blogs, but not all, because here I am bringing you the story, and I'd like to consider PositiveMode worth reading (please comment only if you agree).This poor fellow, apparently a freshman at his college, was enlisted to give the college TV station sports report. Needless to say, he butchers it. Big Time.
This sports-news-butchery bore an uncanny resemblance to the bad fake sports report A.C. Slater gave on a sophomore year episode of Saved By The Bell (those of you who know me too well will know I am oddly obsessed with this show. I may have mentioned this obsession in passing in the very early days of PositiveMode), the one where the gang discovers the radio station in the basement of Bayside, and they put it to use to save The Max . The libertarians of you out there will no doubt lose respect for the gang for holding what is ostensibly a charity telethon (radiothon?) to save a for-profit business that owes big time on back rent - and for some reason owes it to the Bayside School District. But in helping Max they're just following their destiny, I suppose, which is to sit in a booth at his restaurant whenever they're not in the stair-hallway, Mr. Belding's office, the one classroom, or the Mini-Gym (more on the Mini-Gym later).

Bill, please explain the Saved by the Bell obsession...
I met a 16 year old English girl who had never met an American before...all she knew about our culture came from reruns of Saved By the Bell and reruns of 90210.
Needless to say, she had some pretty funny ideas about American culture.
I wonder which show resulted in worse misdirection regarding American culture. 90210 probably resulted in an exaggerated view of the independence and decadence of American teenagers, as well as the excitement of things that kids get involved in. Probably worse, though, Saved By The Bell must have drastically and irreversibly ruined her sense of American fashion. Which character is the worst offender is itself a topic for an entire blog post, but I would say the finalists are definitely Slater and Lisa.
I promise to explain my Saved By The Bell obsession in the near future. To describe it comprehensively will require some thought.
I never liked Saved by the Bell.
I'd definitely go with Slater or Lisa...they were terribly lost during the 80's fashion-wise. I remember Slater on one particular episode wearing tights for some reason.
For guys, there is no reason to be wearing tights...I don't care if it is 50 below outside and that is their only clothing..no tights.
ok, maybe if you are a wrestler...but even that sport makes me slightly uncomfortable. The half-tights outfits...plus too many opportunities for future sterility.
Bill, on a sidenote...where are you practicing post May 20-something?
And no, I'm not referring to your future museum ventures,
You forgot one key milieu from SBTB ... the mini-movie theatre. I know I've been to some below-average theatres in my day, but I have never been in one that consisted of roughly 35 folding chairs. Should we sit in the front, or all the way (read 5 rows) in the back?
After three years of monitoring and repressing the right-wing insurgency that hopelessly attempts to unseat the academic leftists in charge at Georgetown Law Center (while at the same time attempting to provide some of them with a false sense of hope that some of are capable of listening), I will be returning after a 7-year west-and-east-coast vagabondage to Chicago to practice at a so-called "large law firm." I will enjoy the weather during the summer and fall, and in the winter will probably spend most of my time in museums. Or, more correctly, bars.

Circe, since we're on the subject - any exciting plans for the near or distant future?
exciting plans?
Not really...planning to start grad school next fall..art history at American. Planning to apply to Sotheby's Institute in London for their auction school..pretty sure that I want to specialize in 19th century antiques...ceramics, paintings, and furniture.
By the way, we finally settled the bombast/bombastry debate.
My friends, the uber-English major/products liability lawyer from Mew Orleans was irritated enough by the question to really look at it.
She declared that we were both right..but one was slightly more right than the other..but that either works just fine for that purpose.
