A book like the Ferrari sales manual?

I can see I've really touched a nerve here. I had no idea you were so sensitive regarding the subject of your education.

Buck up, little camper.

Actually you haven't touched anything.
Answering Jeopardy questions is a good thing.
Now don't be offering to touch anything else, or you will see how sensitive I can be :eek:

PS Go ACC Tourney Champ Terps!

It's quite clear I can have no hope of victory arguing the point with a man of your education.

No one is arguing anymore but you, big man.

actually memorization is the lowest form of learning, in a sense…I think Bags touched on this when she used the word "integrative"

when I tutor seniors on their computers, they seem to have a very difficult time because they insist on trying to remember a series of steps instead of trying to get an understanding of how the systems work…

But can you tell me what real-life celeb did Groening base the character of 'Comic Book Guy' on Mr.Smartypants?

But I do have a question…if someone takes an "art history" degree for example, gets their teaching degree and becomes an art history teacher then teaches kids who get their degrees to become art history teachers who then teach kids to become art history teachers and so on and so forth…..what has that process contributed other than $$$ in the art history department coffers of Universities that teach art history?

what about the Accounting or Math majors that will take an Art History elective taught by one of these profs and have their dreary lives brightened a bit?

seriously, though, it takes all sorts of disciplines to make the world go round (as they say)…and you are mistaken if you think the ideas that could be generated by a study of Art History, or other "humanities" could not inform engineering, mathematical or economic theories, and vice versa…

looks like Kevin Smith to me

Didn't Mankie find the art of Egon Schiele uplifting?

Look Dupek, from what I have seen on this board, I generally like what you offer. Therefore, I want to apologize if I said anything during this thread that has offended you. Sorry.

Now, who was the "Comic Book Guy" based on? - is it himself?

hey…another thing we have in common, Mankie!

The same applies for me, I said some stupid crap, as per usual. No offense taken here. We was just having a bit of fun.

Comic Book Guy is based on Fritz The Cat animator, Ralph Bakshi.

BTW, Have you played SIMPSONS HIT & RUN yet on PS or PC? Grrrrreat game that one. Vote Quimby!

Don't know much about R.Bakshi, but if he is like the CBG he needs some help. Have not seen the Simpsons Hit and Run PS game either.

I think we should have an affair! We could ride our bikes to the Egon Schiele exhibition after meeting for breakfast at the place that only serves free roaming hens eggs and vegan bacon and sausage. While at breakfast we could discuss why it's only the two of us on this board who like your husband.

Seriously, Egon Schiele was a genius..I wanted to name Rory Egon, but it got vetoed. We have his "artists wife seated" painting in pride of place in our living room..BONUS! She was a redhead and I looooove me the redheads.
