He already said that. "New England Academia."

Unless you're a full professor (with Ph.D.) of any discipline beginning with "P" at an accredited university, and then only if you have patches on the elbows. 103

Out here in Cali, it's pretty much just the CxOs (except for our CMO but that's another story) and Account Executives. Engineers and IT dress pretty slovenly. Marketing is well marketing. And we in finance dress like you but without the tie. Dude... here in the midwest, what Demo is wearing is what we call "ratty." It's the sort of outfit you'd wear when, say, you're working in the yard or painting. He can get away with it because he's clearly been on his hands and knees pulling cable or something similar. I mean, he's not even wearing a business casual jacket, FFS! 105

I think you should read the board rules and post in the introductions forums or else the moderators win. And you lose.

Silly Demo. She makes Sony camera commercials. 107

I don't really care one way or t'other about her music.
This, however, tickles me pink: (Her brother is a student at a major university at which I work yet which will remain unnamed. What?) 108

Well... They also know you know what you're doing. They know you're respectful. They know you did your homework with respect to the law. They know when they came knocking, you were not a dick. In other words, it sounds like they're pretty sure you're not a dick and not a threat. And you're something of a known quantity to them. Will they be watching? Who knows? But my hunch is that it won't come back to bite you in the ass. On the contrary, this could play out to your benefit. 109

Anarchy / Re: Need Latin Help« on: July 20, 2010, 08:01:33 AM »
You want "Vincimus ergo sumus."
Latin verb root: "vincire", literally, "I bind (tie up, restrain, surround), therefore I am." It's the third part of "Veni, vidi, vici", in which case it essentially means "conquer" or "subjegate." 114
Anarchy / Re: Need Latin Help« on: July 19, 2010, 03:12:08 PM »
Domitus? Or are you thinking "Dominus", which means "lord"?
I think it's more, "we subdue (or tame, or dominate), therefore we are." 115

That sounds more like the definition of a "gun nut" than a responsible marksman. Why waste 500 rounds when 3 will do the job just as effectively? Unless you're me, of course. I can't hit the broad side of a barn at 20 yards. 117

If not, why not? If so, is it real beer or is it craptacular imitation Natty Light? 123

Back in my day, we played fantasy games the right way: with paper, pencils and a wide assortment of plastic polyhedra. Those with big allowances even had pewter inaction figures!
