Tom, welcome back; ~ Tell us what happens when you've seen the same film twenty times. Any entertainment urges? Mischievous thoughts? I heard somewhere that you can stand in front of the screen in any large theater while the film is running and people, the theater-going audience, won't know you're there. Wiggle, jump, wave... I think then the goal is that you take your clothes off, and put them back on, and then they let you in the club or fraternity or car or whatever. I never got to try this, so I was wondering if you could and let us know. Just trying to get you ready for school.

Hi Tom, who appears every six months, drops a few clever words on us and disappears, not to return for another six months. Purdue is an excellent school. We are going through this same dilemma with first son, who's a junior. He apparently went through the catalogues looking for the Top Ten most expensive schools in the nation for his first choices. When you compare those with, say, the Honors Program at a state U. and check bottom lines, you find yourself wondering what inspired you to say, "You can go where you want, Son. We want you to broaden yourself... We'll just --sell your brother. And your mother's always wanted to moonlight at a 7-11. And walk six miles to the grocery store. And it won't hurt us to live on one meal a day. Post by candlelight." Wait.. no-there are limits.. Feel free to be as pretentious as you like. With two teenage sons, I am perfectly comfortable with the smug superiority of bright high school students and will smile approvingly at your many impressive accomplishments. However, I will not tolerate athletic cups greeting people on the coffee table or refusals to take out the garbage. Or MTV period.

Tom -- <<What's new with everyone, the thread and SI in general?>> Well, the faux SI is celebrating its annual T&Afest, "swimwear" edition (although I believe it should properly be called the "lingerie" edition, can't imagine a woman actually trying to swim in one of those things). I am proposing a SI "thong edition" to show the world that we are not only in touch with but AHEAD OF the times. Or is that a point that would go over better at BOINK? "Titanic!". (the movie-theater-worker equivalent of saying "BOO!" to a baby. Same responses, I understand. Can get messy.)
