I applied to graduate school earlier this year, and while I haven't received my letter yet, I fear the surprise has been ruined for me as I just logged into my workstation and seen that I now have the permissions to register for classes and pay tuition :D:D:D:D

By which I mean, SQUEE! I got accepted to grad school :D

Texas is the Reason post of the day...

So my wife comes back from a gig in Dallas on Friday & Saturday. She does these communication trainings on the side for an agency based in NYC that has a lot of Jews on its staff. The brother of the owner lives in Dallas.

So she hears stories of what life is like as a Jew living in Texas. The guy's 16-year-old daughter had friends in high school who told them they couldn't be friends anymore since she's going to hell. And the guy literally had people straight-faced tell him, surprised when they found out he was Jewish, that, "I thought Jews had horns."

Go Texas Christians.

If the Midwest are the "vowel states", Texas is the Bowel State. :pado:

swag, that's insane. Though sadly not surprising.
Perhaps Dru can add his experiences. It's pretty shocking. But partly not too surprising, given what I knew about the propensity for Texans to advertise for the "Christian" adjective in help wanted ads for everything from baby sitters to lawn care.

    Been saying it for years. Give Texas back to Mexico, just to piss them all off more.

    Well the aim is academia, so it's pretty much a long path to professordom. Dr Kate and all that.

    Jesus, I didn't know that happened so much as well. It's bloody terrifying.

    Thanks Kasaki :D It's the Arts, though, so nothing interesting!

    I guess if there's one good thing about Texas, it's got no shortage of parents willing to put their teenage daughters on T&A display. My wife said the two options of where to eat Friday night in town were Hooters and Bone Daddy's (what she called "Boner Daddy's"). Either way, no matter what you get, it comes with a side order of teenage tits in short-shorts.
