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

        I thought it was very interesting.

        Could you see Aqua attending during his undergrad?

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

                      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.

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

                              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.

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

                                          "Orientals?" You said "Orientals?"

                                          That would get you fired at Starbucks.

                                          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.
