Thanks for the link meowser- before my time as a basketcase. Now I’ll go dive into it…. the age timeline always bothered me too.

I forgot to add that I love Mad News. One of my favorites this week was the tour of the set. My dream is get to spend a day walking around the sets, and getting to go into the wardrobe department.

@ 46 Meowser-Before the Ivy League went co-ed, I think a single-sex school was more common. Both genders were getting what was seen as the best education and still had plenty of opportunity to see the opposite sex through mixers. I do agree that I would have thought Betty would have gone to a school with sororities, but Matt made a mistake, it happens.

Gypsy Howell #38 - Oh, I don't necessarily mean Betty would have had a harder time there academically. I'm talking more about attitude; that is, would Betty have been happy in the kind of school that had no sororities (and no men in class)? Goofs in Don's backstory: See this thread. The biggest error has to do with Adam's age, which is all over the place.

Well, there's just no disputing C+ Augustus, is there? So your point, as originally stated, stands. But that's a discussion for another day and another blog!

I'm hoping to get through the MM season without getting fired. I've gotten nothing done for WEEKS.

Pink-slip that one too, gypsy. The firing squad needs to reload, huh?

I had a very strong inclination from your post that you read me the way I way I meant to be read, but I wanted to be certain.

My first impulse is to go for the Big Outrage or the Big Funny in order to sell my point and I agree the typed cyber-word can be tricky; tone and inflection are a pain to get right sometimes especially when I'm sneaking out sentences. . . while Bosses hover near. . . my . .cube. sh-h-h-h-h!

I re-read my stuff and thought maybe some commenters, especially the grads, wouldn't appreciate the bombast, so I felt the "sorry" would help.

Just so you know, the word of gypsy will always get a sympathetic ear from less of me, —

. . . until you CROSS ME!!!! Then it's ON!!! Rocket launchers at ten paces!!

No lessofme- I TOTALLY got that! We are in compete agreement. And my response was meant to be much more self-deprecating than maybe it came across on paper.
