And then this Bear, Pooh Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, F.O.P. (Friend of Piglet's), R.C. (Rabbit's Companion), P.D. (Pole Discoverer), E.C. and T.F. (Eeyore's Comforter and Tail-finder)--in fact, Pooh himself--said something so clever that Christopher Robin could only look at him with mouth open and eyes staring, wondering if this was really the Bear of Very Little Brain whom he had know and loved so long.

comparative scatology

i think the difference between U of C and Brooklyn College can be summarized well by a comparative study of bathroom grafitti.

U. of C exchange:

original comment: something to do with "faggots."
response: "kill all bigots!"
meta-response: "that itself was a bigotted comment!


Brooklyn Exchange

original comment: this school sucks
response: so do you
meta-response: and your mother
meta-meta: stop talking trash! don't you know that sh** f***ing sucks?

in a similar vein, the previous round of graffiti in the same Brooklyn bathroom (it gets washed periodically) was a series of "for a good time, call..." messages. the closest i remember from the ladies rooms at U of C was the communal effort to "rank the hottest professors" somewhere in Cobb or the Reg, I think. though that brings me to an Alternative Hypothesis: The U of C bathrooms in question were women only. The Brooklyn ones are coed...
