Skippy trashes the Olympics

[franksolich]

Just for the record, Skippy didn't study engineering there:

at CU:

he's said he worked laying tile while he was in college. He is the first "educator" I've ever heard of that hates the Olympics.

Well, they have schools of architecture and fine arts there too; I just assumed engineering would be the surest bet, about what he studied.

Perhaps we could rework this event for the primitives?

As someone who has come damned close to the games (long listed for the team in 1992) their rage and indignation does nothing but warm my heart. But I guess it is easy to play armchair quarterback than to go out and put hard work into anything.

If you don't like the Olympics you have the option of not watching them.

They have the same option for Fox News. How's that working for them?

Well now, this and something else, just totally muddles things up.

Since that exclusive college Skippy attended is mainly for engineering and architecture--I dunno where the "fine arts" fit into the founder's plan circa 1850, as it was supposed to concentrate on technology and the manual trades--I just assumed he'd gotten an engineering degree from there.

Maybe not; maybe he was one of the "fine arts" graduates.

And in another thread you posted later, he says he's running around in a.....seven-year-old motor vehicle.

franksolich, who's no genius and came from no exclusive college and grotesquely (but at least busily) underemployed, runs around in a seven-year-old motor vehicle.

That doesn't indicate Skippy's rolling around in dough, like his fellow alums.

I'd always taken Skippy to be a high-end European sports-car bon vivant.

Curiouser and curiouser it gets.
