Sideshow Bob and the Missus are now in the spotlight, and the only thing of interest here at University Diaries is their effort to“deep south” Virginia’s public universities.
I guess there’s a reason we differentiate deep and … shallow? south. Apparently up in these parts (‘thesdan UD lives not far from Northern Virginia) you can’t get schools like the University of Virginia to run governor-mandated trials on your laetrile.
Speaking of deep and parts… You may know Sideshow Bob by his former name: Governor Vaginal Probe…

Which part of the deep south is Johns Hopkins located in?

Anon: You’re absolutely right that Hopkins was asleep at the wheel on this one. Eventually it woke up; but how the hell did two pharma moles get into its labs?

Of course the University angle comes first. But then there’s the wonderful English language. When’s the last time a “crush” figured prominately in the news or we heard the term “mash note” though only the former is involved in this case. So with thoughts for Mo and Jonnie — here’s some Gershwin and Gershwin, though I have doubts about the pardon thing.
You’re my big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I will never never know
It’s not that you’re attractive
But oh my heart grew active
When you came into view
I’ve got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo
Could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush

Greg: You’re my big and brave and handsome Rolex watch…

Well . . .thanks. How’d you guess — that’s what the missus calls me and often a Seiko or something vaguely homonymal. I never fancied a Rolex. It could get you mugged, indicted or way over your head in care products. If that showed up under the figurative tree I’d sell it, bank 10 to 25 k, and take her on one hell of a trip to Paris and then Burgundy. No Thunderbird 09 for us.
Here are some Rolex prices:
