MHLW Eve, and the stockings are all hung on the chimney with care

We’ve broken a hundred with the MHLW. In the bowling sense, as compared to the golf sense. Given that some schools (obscure ones like Bronx Science, that I’ve never heard of) haven’t entered their data yet, I think we’ve done pretty well, especially given the time of year.

Woo-hoo!

And I just heard from O’C that we got the building! Wait a minute. We just got the building? Whatever.

CP and I are sharing a PF module. The only problem is, the module’s content is unintelligible to us, given that it’s written in debate jargon. First thing we’re teaching: no debate jargon! Jargon, as you probably know, is nothing other than the attempt to make the simple complicated for purposes of initiation. If you call a black-and-blue spot on someone’s body an ecchymosis, that proves you’re a doctor, but it’s still the same bruise. Being able to use a tribe’s language/jargon is presumed to entitle you to membership in that tribe. If you’ve been a student of CT and pomo, and maybe even structuralism, then you know what I’m talking about. For that matter, if you’re a member of the VCA at all you know what I’m talking about. Hell, I put a glossary over there on the right for a reason, you yabbo! Anyhow, if you’re trying to win the ballot of a PF parent judge, I wouldn’t advise you to cross-apply the Zisek evidence off the permute of the cap-bad argument on econ-ecol. You know?

Tomorrow is also the NYCFL meeting. This is where all the Catholics come together and pray that we’ll make it through another year. It’s worked so far in the past. There usually aren’t many issues worth reporting, aside from who runs which Speecho-American event on what weekend, being that there’s only a couple of debate events under Vatican control. But if anything does come up, I’ll let you know.
