SEX! (....ed....) 9 months ago

This came up on another forum, and now I’m curious.

When/where did you go to high school?
What sort of sex ed did you get there?
How useful was it? (I mean, was it a bunch of lies, or stuff you knew already, or did you really learn anything?)

Pilot survey 9 months ago

almost ready to go. There’s a surprising number of stupid fiddly little decisions that go into setting up even a really simple survey, and I keep feeling like oh my guwaud I’m doing it wrong. But, hey, that’s what the pilot’s for. If it sucks, folks’ll tell me. :)

Man, the problem with grad school 9 months ago

is they don’t let you use any short words.

In plain English: Sometimes you say “Holy fuck, there’s a wombat in the refrigerator!” Sometimes you say “Holy fuck, the refrigerator has a wombat in it!” What’s up with that?

Well, it beats the hell out of me. But ask me again at the end of the semester. I’m doing an experiment on it.

My first choice woulda been to break into people’s houses, put wombats in their refrigerators, and film their reaction. But sadly, we don’t have enough funding for that. So it’s gonna be some lame survey instead.

That’s the other problem with grad school. It’s basically nothing like Candid Camera.
