@roflcon registration is closed. :(
@you will hear that music in Music Hum, since a lot of the teachers write it.
@lame “Though I doubt any of them accept Flex, you’ll nonetheless walk away without any spending guilt.”
$24 for lunch and $35 for dinner? is that not horrendously expensive?
these are all lame/none are actually parties. thanks for nothing, once again.
@Meh. Well, it IS for three courses. So figure at lunch it’s $8 per course, dinner it’s about $11 per course, at restaurants that would otherwise be about $30 per course.
Still not terribly student-friendly, though.
@hmmm one of the new columnists has a column titled “chris shrugged.” wasn’t that the name of, um, another column?
@chris kuladick FREE MARKET! ANN COULTER PEGS ME AT NIGHT! I LOVE ALL KINDS OF BUSH!
@could not resist Chris had no comment when contacted for a response this evening. Surrogates report that he just shrugged.
