The Opposite of Harvard?

[Mik]

Fascinating. What an experience. Honesty over the socially prescribed response.

I thought it was very interesting.

Could you see Aqua attending during his undergrad?

[Jolly]

Secondly, why pick the University of Chicago?

[Axtremus]

Click bait.
The author has to put "Harvard" in the title or no one would want to read the article.

[Mik]

@Axtremus Really? That's all you got out of the article?

I mentioned Aqua, because the Shakespeare argument during an extended deprived sleep period struck me as something he would do.

Now...Ax attending the school? That would be interesting...

[Mik]

It would be beneficial.

You tell me what salient points in that article that you would like me address.

Yeah, I very well might, but between the two of us, it's my wife who's the real Shakespeare scholar. She was an expert even before she started college. Then when she did, she basically majored in Shakespeare. Sure, I know the sonnets okay, but she schools me on the plays.

Heck yeah I'd attend as an undergrad. Honestly I do wish I'd gone somewhere else, but I also wasn't in a position to make a well-reasoned decision about my education at the time, so ah well, it worked out I suppose.

You guys and Jolly tease poor 'ol my bud Ax, but I'll tell you what: Ax could beat the shit out of any cow in that valley, with one hand tied behind his back any day. I'll betcha. Huh Ax. I doth speaketh the truths, dude. (Ax, that's like Shakespeare talk stuff, like at Harvard)

[Horace]

Orientals know so much karate chops. If there was a fight, me and Ax and TG would win because of kung fu fighting.

[Doctor Phibes]

I suspect you know more about pork chops

[Horace]

Some people know so little karate chops, it's like they know negative karate chops. Sad.

"Orientals?" You said "Orientals?"

That would get you fired at Starbucks.

My daughter loves Shakespeare, since about 8th grade. Very knowledgeable about it.

You can tell the orientals by their slanty eyes. Follow me for more life hacks.

Most people in Taiwan tell a westerner by the size of the nose, not by the shape of the eyes.

In Sun Tzu’s Art of War, one of the most famous passages states that when fighting round eyes, alway karate chop to the nose, for it is unmistakeable and cannot be missed.
