...forum. “Like Amaker, let’s lower standards for ‘em! From one-sixth to one-eighth will do, you know; We think the problem must be with the quorum,” “And not with our debasement of decorum, Or with the J. Lorand Matory show,” The Faculty Council mused about its forum. Alas, this measure never went before ‘em, The Dean called off the meeting, and apropos, We think the problem must be with the quorum.

...thing admirable about Britney Spears is that she doesn’t listen to anything. It is like she is conducting a one-woman assault on decorum, and I love it. I like to think of this as a supremely intellectual decision on her part, though no one seems to agree with me. To them, I pose these questions: Who else but Britney would think to pair Ugg boots with a bed sheet that doubles as a dress? Who else but Britney would shave her head, beat a waiting photographer’s car with an umbrella, and then...
