“Hello,
I am a student from Czech republic and I do a Bachelor work about gowns (academic wear of governance-not graduates- in universities). I would like to ask you for help. Could you, please, send me materials about your university? I need pictures (photos) and describing of gowns, what wear your chancellor, (president), vice-chancellor, proctor, deans (with colours of faculties), (principals), bedels and others. Please, help me, I can not find it anywhere.”

 After reading and re-reading this several times, the only thing I can come up with is that MAYBE this woman is in…costume design?  Is she looking for Chris March, my fave obese gay from Proj. Run.?  Not to mention that my workplace is by no means a University.  Is she interested in garb to be worn whilst groovin’ to ‘Pomp and Circumstance’?  I’m so confused.  I thought only the North African men could confuse me like this.  Now it’s Central/Eastern European women?!  I need some xanax or a cupcake pronto before I lose my cool.

next month with their school, where can they shop cheaply in Rome, for a
cheap food and clothes made in Italy if possible, also please can you tell
me just a few prices at Mcdonalds fast food restaurants, for example: how
much for the big mac meal?, small/medium and large size meals in your
currency(euros), so I can make a budget for my daughter of how much money she needs during her trip to your beautiful city. Thank you so much for your reply, good luck with your studies.

If you can't speak English/Westboro Baptist Church

Then you probably shouldn’t apply for an intensive Japanese program.  Speaking as someone who can barely keep a Japanese sentence together, I can vouch for this.  If you can’t get it together to complete the application (which requires MAYBE third grade reading level, at best).  Sometimes I rant.

 In other news, this weekend I spent an embarrasing amount of time watching Shirley Phelps-Roper and Westboro Baptist Church videos.  The best of which were featured on the Tyra Banks show and by varying Fox News Anchors.  Here’s some GOLD:

I want her to have a lesbian satan-child with Ann Coulter.  They could make a habitat for them at the San Diego Zoo made from broken glass, stomach bile and hatred.

Good resources for the independent traveler:

Loved the documentary (although, if it’s broadcasted on mtv, can it still qualify as a documentary?) last night and ordered it immediately after I saw it.  Makes me think that I should save money for a long-term travel plan instead of that $300 Nice Collective jacket.

What do you think?  Lookin’ fly or a month’s accommodation in SE Asia?
