Hey, that's very good. Alternate definitions, assuming they are substantially different, can be listed in numerical order. Do you want to include actual people, like Katie, whose names occasionally pop up? Obviously, current CM members shouldn't be given a definition (you can't define me!).
Where did Myra Adele Logan go? What about Bernice? Jim left for good, I'd bet. Where's anonymous? (Not that I want him/her back.) Is Yaro really still on winter break?
@Eskarina & ELS: I wrote CM one day last week, addressing Leslie K and the "CM Moderator" who replied said she was no longer doing the page. Does anyone know about that?
CM Moderator: The unseen hand that guides College Misery and prevents it from going completely off the rails. Previous CM moderators include Fab Sun and Leslie K. but the current moderator does not provide a pseudonym. It is unclear whether this dark, mysterious entity will be a force for good or evil.
"douchy, sexist" That's funny. I say that all the time. It's like "sucks" at this point. No one thinks about what it means. But there's an irony there that made me laugh. I'm not judging you, I say the exact same thing. But it's ironic.
Right now I'm beginning to think that Bernice left because of me, but time will tell.
Irony is all around us, Wombat of the Copier....when I wrote that I was thinking about the fool who wrote that Leslie K.'s avatar looked like a certain porn actress. I'm sure she got a lot of electronic wolf whistles.
I echo the request for an explanation of teaching loads. I am guessing that a definition involving a measure in terms of face-to-face teaching hours would probably make it easier to translate into an individual locale.

ReplyDeleteSorry for the double post but I'd like a definition for teaching loads like "3/3" or 2/1". It took me a while to figure that one out.
ReplyDeleteWalter should be listed. Fuck Katie.
ReplyDeleteI've sent "CM Moderator" (who the hell is that, by the way) a couple of suggestions. The first list is pretty funny.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Leslie K!
ReplyDeleteSuggestions:
RTFS: Read The Fucking Syllabus
Dinosaur Snack: (suggested in November, I believe) extremely needy or demanding snowflake
Who did most of these? They're great.

A number of folks sent in bits, but Floyd from Farmville really contributed the best material.
ReplyDelete- CM Moderator

ReplyDeleteI'm scared.
ReplyDeleteCM Moderator is Zombie Overlord. IDENTIFY!!!
And Gumdrop Unicorn? Priceless.
ReplyDeleteI think the CM Moderator IS Leslie K. under a pseudonym because there was too much douchy, sexist mail. If not I'm sorry to see Leslie K. go.

ReplyDeleteThanks!
You should add the second connotation of "silverback": an adult make gorilla.
ReplyDelete"Contact hours" could be rich comedy vein.
