I am here Dr. Monroe. what is that plastic for, electro-shock therapy? No that is a special place. Last time I looked BatusiMan and @tdpreys were hanging out there. It probably could use a prophylactic treatment though. |

you see, Dr. Monroe it's like I said, I am in the world, but not of the world. I have to put my self through the hell of reading nearly 200 books just to take a test that is 3 days straight of 8 hours in which i have to write six 12 pages papers based on my readings with no notes. At the end I will just get the opportunity to start work on a 300 page dissertation that will hopefully get turned into a book no one will read, just so I can hopefully get a job teaching undergrads a subject they do not want to learn. But that is what I enjoy doing - teaching. So, am I insane? Sane? or both? I do all of this and find consolation, and a break from reality, by manipulating thousands of colorful pixels in order to recreate a fake town for fictional people I believe I can be both at the same time. |

So brettolmsted in the appointment thread you indicated that you might be insane because you worked yourself to death with the hopes of obtaining a moderate income. Since you did not indicate that you are also broke and will never see the other side of a mountain of debt I am skeptical that you are a real graduate student. Wait you are in an Arts & Sciences field, you obviously have a trust fund right? So as an intellectual I ask you a question that speaks to the very soul of those seeking to understand the human condition. Which prefix is more pretentious and overused in academic literature applying to most if not all topics of inquiry: post- or neo-? |

Psst, BatusiMan! He didn't notice that we managed to use the energy in the shock room for playing games on our amazing nintendo entertainment system. Could someone help us getting the new super nintendo? |

Which prefix is more pretentious and overused in academic literature applying to most if not all topics of inquiry: post- or neo-?no trust fund here Dr. Monroe. My wife works as a moderately page middle school teacher to support us. And you are right, I am broke currently. To answer your question the prefix post- has been the most over used word in literate in the last 30 years referring to post-modern/post-structural. However, in the last 10 years the prefix neo- has become the most pretentious as people came to be neo-Marxists, neoclassicists, neo-liberals, and neo-conservatives. I am in the humanities, I believe the pretentious is what he "P" in PhD stands for, is it not? Perhaps you or Fraggle could offer a correction or perhaps you can offer a stimulant other than Starbucks to keep me awake? |

I may be a raving lunatic but I am in control. My next book is the Politics of Identity and therefore I am sure both sanely insane. What is your diagnosis Dr. Monroe? and at the end of these readings I will get a few new letters after my name - ABD |

Perhaps you or Fraggle could offer a correction or perhaps you can offer a stimulant other than Starbucks to keep me awake? Well I do believe the correct answer is probably "The early 2000's called and they want their terminology back." However since your answer is so well-thought out and calculated you may in fact be functionally sane. However I have a feeling that while you view yourself as a pillar of sanity, I'm guessing when others see you it might be something more like this due to all the caffeine and stress.  So Insane |

Thank you Dr. Monroe, I feel much better now, knowing I am a certifiable paradox. Does that mean I get two badges stamps: one on my forehead of "insane" that everyone else sees, but a lower back tattoo of "sane" that only I can see? |

I will also have to take a dinner break at some point, however I will be around later. Since today is Ðxhealer's birthday I can make some special accommodations with a birthday cake large enough to jump out of. It might be easier to catch some of my clients in other time zones who I know are still on my list like Stella "Red Locks" Fiddick and Am4692 as well. |

So @mars while you are fairly new to our fair town, you have come with our newest round of refugees. Please take this complimentary gift basket we hand out to all new members.  How does the basket make you feel? Does it awaken anything in you? Are you addicted to the caffeinated sauce? |

I didnt know it was Valentines Day Then you are most obviously Not Insane because this is the nectar of the gods. There is also a small switch blade in the bottom in case brettolmsted tries to mug you at the door. I have heard he has a "problem", but he claims he can stop whenever he wants. |
