I just got a call from California University of Pennsylvania!
That job I applied for two months ago... that I'd given up hope of getting...?
THEY WANT ME!
Starting salary 8K more than I'm making now! Medical benefits! Collective bargaining! 2 raises a year after the first year guaranteed! I can start in a month!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAA!!
One more small step on my road to Dicatorship.

Congrats. Though this means that uber-BookWurm-dom is now within your grasp... bad news for all of us.

I'm creating a resistance faction. Who's with me?

Pennsylvania likes naming towns after other states. California & Indiana (the towns) have univerisities. Indiana University of Pennsylvania had a Playboy Playmate about 2 months ago, Lindsey Vuolo.

Yes, and if you look closely at a map, you can find an island group named after me in the Indian Ocean... off the Seychelles... a perfect place for my Den of Iniquity. http://www.1uptravel.com/worldmaps/seychelles5.html

That's great. I need to find another job too. Who knows, maybe there is a Pennsylvania University out here in California.

Hey, there used to be an island named "Nix", too. Well, "Nix's Mate", actually. Some pirate named Nix hanged his first mate there, or something. I dunno. The island doesn't even exist anymore. AFAIK, the guy wasn't even related to me.

Whilst I have a Caribbean island, a university, a chain of churches & cathedrals, & 2 major Canadian cities (one of which is a provincial capital) bearing my name. Among other things. Yee.

Don't worry Tim. I don't think that anyone was going to leap to the conclusion that a "Nix" ever had a friend.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
