Suddenly, all this love for Fnord. The Stockholm Syndrome is alive and well on this site, that's for sure.

Nah I'm just that warm & scratchy. Fnord typecast me as a *useless* dropout, it'd be a good laugh to show him how many years worth of degrees I've usurped.

Typecasting for the will of the game, rather than the will of the people, is always sad, but where one trumpet blows sleet, another fog horn sounds.
I decree, the last person left standing has forecast enough winter snow to outshine Santa in a mysterious costume..with one more act to follow.
Something tells me the curtain fell short of the last bow and so maybe just maybe.. he wanted to leave us with a hint of corny sarcasm to mull away the despair of their lost souls.
Doubters always give up, as they can never give in, (sometimes without a choice,) but I'd like to think that all those milk and cookies done it for someone, who in the end, spared as much charity on themselves as much as they did for others.

"Usurped"?????????????????

To "usurp" means to "seize the throne of a kingdom illegitimately" (like you staged a coup instead of inherited the crown), or by extension "seize control of any country (monarchy or not) unconstitutionally".

I dont know how one would "usurp" a college degree. But if you have somehow done that then I wouldnt boast about it if I were you! LOL!

I dont know what word you meant to say. But I have a feeling that "usurp" is not what you meant. Lol!

c'mon, you know how us aspies tend to use words in an unconventional manner, like alex haig's [closet aspie] tendency to use nouns as verbs and verbs as nouns (e.g., "let's 'table-of-contents' that entry"). mebbe what he meant, was that his degrees all were for naught so that [his and] their executive purpose was usurped by futility?
