Your property teacher – a well-aged and round gentleman with long, scraggly gray hair and Neil Young mutton chop sideburns – sits down at your 9:50 am class with his usual coffee mug and wristwatch. You note, to your surprise, that he has once again not brought any class materials. He gazes at the class and says he needs to ask for some advice. His girlfriend’s birthday is coming up and he wants to buy her a Ferrari. What’s the best way (legally and romantically speaking) to give her the car?
Instead of thinking of a response, your first thought is: “Please tell me you’re bullshitting, man. My brain can’t handle you, a girlfriend, romance, and a Ferrari right now.”
Later that day, your spunky con law teacher refers to Dubya as “the anointed one,” pumps her fist, and mouths “love him” noticeably enough for everyone to see. The class chuckles. She just made your day. All that other nonsense is history. You also realize you're no longer paying attention and that getting called on right now would be a bad thing.

yeah, i'm pretty comfortable with the dork thing. i kinda miss my circle of friends in austin, where dorkiness was cool (and validated by consuming copious amounts of alcohol).

I spent 8 years in the Air Force as a Korean linguist. It takes a geek/dork to want to "know a language" for a living, and it takes a special kind of dork/geek to Re-enlist.

Finally, a way to be branded a dork. I'm tired of those temporary "dork" tatoos.

ok, there obviously needs to be an STCL organization or something for bloggers. can we do that? would we want to do that? we'd pretty much be branding ourselves as dorks. but that's ok with me, cuz i took care of that back in high school.

I must say, I'm grateful, yet somehow jealous in a car-accident rubberneck sort of way that I missed that class.

You missed the best part of property: the aforementioned prof, as a part of his hypothetical, said that his girlfriend would be so happy that he'd have a heart attack thirty minutes later. That is the worst mental image ever.
