What has happened to Coasterbuzz?

A day is a drop of water in the ocean of eternity. A week is seven drops.
Now wait a minute. College was actually useful. There *are* some things I leared there that were actually valid in the real world. I'll be the first to admitt that the majority of that was learning how to "get over" but I digress. IMO, college is just a big audition to show potential employers that you can follow directions and get things done. Once they know you are "teachable", they tell train you to do whatever it is they want you to do.
To DMarie: I was lost in the IRC hellhole in 1994. For some reason I kept getting banned from #hottub. But latched onto another channel and wasted away an entire semester...
To I-Fan: First off, it was page THREE. If you're going to call me out, do it right. And secondly what I said was
Moosh: Well if I knew you guys were so *anal* about everthing, I would have studied harder. It's not my fault that you all suck and I dont
(asterisks original)
If you got some form of sodomy out of that, it was already in your mind. It is perfectly valid to use "anal" to describe something "uptight" or "strict". In fact, I think it describes your tone to this thread quite sufficiently.

Rock: Do you like pancakes?
Lady: Yes!
Rock: Well why dont you pancake your ass *back* to Chicago!

Dang, this thread has gone everywhere...amazing. And don't pick on college, how would I have learned the difference between a beer bong and a regular bong if I hadn't gone to UC Santa Barbara?? ;-)

Intamin Fan says we have to behave. Let's bring this discussion back to coasters. Do you people think I have all day to dick around?
Bass....you *could* have come to UF....where professors REALLY care about their students well-being. I loved MWB's suggestion to "check back in 4 years"...shoot, I had one professor 3 times in my junior/senior years, really liked the guy, class sizes less than 30, and he didn't even recognize me 18 months later...(I got all A's in his classes, too).
College, for the most part, is an absolte sham IMHO....perhaps I just learned too much in high school or something...;)
chris, GOOD to have you back man....stop eating those ChiTown sausages before you get really sick. (I'll graciously leave the comments about Schlitz for others)...;)
...and finally, HOW did I get a KotH reference to *whiz right by* without comment...teehee, I said whiz...
'Gator,
Chris ate Chitown's sausage?
Uh-oh IFan's gonna get upset again...

Are you *suggesting* what I *think* you're suggesting.....small wonder some people get SO offended by the sexual innuendo....now go get her *enthusiastic* butt out on the streets making MONEY....;)
Kristin,
No! You can't name him Stalker Ken. You need to stay with the coaster fan theme. Name him CPNut...it would be anatomically correct to the original CPNut, too!

redman asks:
"Chris ate Chitown's sausage?"
It was bound to happen...ask chris what he admits to thinking about on his way to work a few weeks ago... ;)

What happens if they have Attention Deficit Disorder?
Well, given how much I think "ADD" is over/mis-diagnosed... You know what? When I was growing up, there was no such thing. Looking back, I think *I'D* have been diagnosed ADD in elementary school if I were in the current environment. Why? Because my mom had already taught me how to read before I got to kindergarten, and from reading I knew basic science and math. I was frelling BORED, and didn't pay attention in class.
Do I think Attention Deficit Disorder is a real condition? Yes. But I think it's resorted to WAY too often as an explanation, when other factors are at work.
But what do I know, I don't have any kids

I do, GregLeg, and my son's first and second grade teachers, the school counselor, AND the friggin' principal said he should be tested for ADD, even though during conferences I explained he was bored. His 2nd grade teach didn't even know my son was able to read by the time conferences were scheduled in November.
I finally had him tested for the TAG program and he tested off the charts. ADD my foot! I know at least three other parents with children who were medicated for ADD needlessly until they were tested for the TAG program.
Regardless, I still feel no matter who you are, what your limitations are, or how badly you feel you are being picked on, the world does not owe you.
Unfortunately there are too many parents who have been brainwashing their kids into believing they *are* owed and should be catered to.
I've been working at a University for 28 years, and it's sad to see all the whining, self-important, rude and demanding students who come into my office every day. And not just the youngsters. I see it in the grad students as well.

I'd rather die living than live like I'm dead
....but doesn't the faculty set a great example by being the whiniest, MOST self-important, rudest, and most demanding group of all...I know they sure do here...
bill, looks over shoulder to ensure no faculty members are present...they're also god-awful nosy....;)
CPLady - congrats on being a parent who actually pays attention to her kids instead of medicating the problems away.
ADD is a code word for "boredom" on one end of the spectrum, or "lack of discipline" on the other.
