What's that LF68? Get back to mowing my yard! I have mint juleps to drink and a new auto dealership to buy. And stop looking at my wife, Buffy - she was Kappa, you know? Boy did she hit the MRS degree lotto with me, I know.

The film dept. got serious and actually eliminated the fluff from the history of cinema courses. It's quite funny.... they made those introductory film history courses incredibly Draconian. Then later they took their foot off the gas a little, because, you know Post World Ward II European film ain't everybodies cup o' tea... and you have to have film history I before taking it (not that I did, I just spoke to the prof. as a freshman... good thing I did, they never offered it again.)...

Now their summer courses were awesome, I took a course on the cinema of sex and violence. What did we watch the first week? Faster Pussycat Kill Kill .... classic.

I couldn't believe the stories from Bookem' Horns didn't make it on the site yesterday. I guess everyone's exhausted from the previous Lonaghorn crimes.

Or we were all too flogged from the loss to care.

I decided to audit that class.... but they won't let me turn in a term paper on the blatant homo eroticism inherent in the early work of Hannah Barbara.

Who's Hannah Barbara? It's Hanna-Barbera.

The Great Gazoo lives!

I was too lazy to look it up. Which is sad, be cause I have google integrated into my browser (as most of us do these days).

" Thoughts, Creativity and the Awareness of Ideas"

I actually took that class.

I cannot give Stallion much crap, because I also took History of Animated Film, taught by a guy named Bill Jones. I'm pretty sure I didn't do better than C+.

"Concepts of Wellness" ("in Wellness?") was another good one. Professor made me jump off the high dive at the pool. Ah, the good old P.E. dept.

Nor can I blame Stallion. I remember taking a history of popular film (movie night) with my advisor Ken Burke and History of Documentary Film with Bill Jones (Tuesday afternoon movie day)

During the silent film screenings, we could bring music to play over the p.a. Somebody brought Band on the Run and Takin it to the Streets. It was pretty funny since sometimes it almost looked as if the music was choreographed ahead of time. The Clash's Sandinista was a nice fit too.

Took Evolution of Jazz where the guy always looked stoned coming into class because the night before he was playing at some club. His name was Ken ....heavyset guy with a beard.

You mean Kim Corbet. Funny enough I saw him last night at the Wynton Marsalis concert. Guy looks the same as I remember him.

Sounds similar to playing The Wizard of Oz and synching up Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" with it.
