Weren't we just doing Monty Python?

This should be helpful in future compensation discussion, Dave.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | February 27, 2007 at 02:01 PM
First to get my homework done!
Posted by: CJrun | February 27, 2007 at 02:01 PM
Woo hooo!! Congrats, Dave!
A Harvard course on boogers.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2007 at 02:01 PM
keeping company with the likes of Twain and Wodehouse. Did Dave publish a book?
Posted by: wickedwitch | February 27, 2007 at 02:02 PM
Dave, when are you going to receive your cap and gown now that you're part of the Harvard curriculum?
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 27, 2007 at 02:02 PM
Oh, and WOW, Dave - you have a class about you at Harvard!
Posted by: sthnbelle | February 27, 2007 at 02:02 PM
Mixed emotions... taking a course featuring Dave - woo hoo! but at summer school?!
Posted by: fivver | February 27, 2007 at 02:03 PM
Emphasizing wit and humor rather than "comedy" as classically understood...
Why pay Harvard $2,275 when you can get non-classical wit and humor here for free!

Good point there BJJB!
HA!! take that you Haaaahvad snots!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2007 at 02:05 PM
I had the exact same thought, BJJB. My jaw dropped when I saw that price...

Barry, Kubrick and the Pythons all in one course. I know I should of gone to college.

Professor; What is the difference between a pun and cat flatus?
Student; A pun is a shift of wit and the other a wift of,...........

It can't go down the toilet. I think they have low-flow.
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | February 27, 2007 at 02:19 PM
Good evening class. Please turn to page twenty two of Dave Barry turns 40. Now the intent of this paragraph is jest or joke. Dave may say something that sounds stupid, but he doesn't mean it per se. In other word Dave is not really being serious, just like this dialogue is a parody or mockery of all of the so called professors Edgar has had. Compare with Peter Sellers. He doesn't really want to choke himself; he is just demonstrating the absurdity of life, and the inherent funniness of former Nazis. And now for something completely different.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | February 27, 2007 at 02:20 PM
Wait....who's Dave Barry?
Posted by: writer132 | February 27, 2007 at 02:20 PM
Dave wrote a book?
Posted by: ShadowKatmandu | February 27, 2007 at 02:20 PM
wonders if dave is going to start charging us to use the blog now.
Posted by: crossgirl | February 27, 2007 at 02:21 PM
Booger!
Discuss.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | February 27, 2007 at 02:21 PM
You have to read the previous paragraph in an Oxford accent for full effect.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | February 27, 2007 at 02:21 PM
got it, Edgar.
*reads previous paragraph in an Oxford accent with a slight Hispanic flair*
not the same.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2007 at 02:24 PM
shhhhhh cg, don't give him any more money-making ideas! He may even write a book about it.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2007 at 02:25 PM
Possibly even funnier in a Bahstahn accent.
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | February 27, 2007 at 02:25 PM
OK, I read "Booger! Discuss." with the Oxford accent, as directed. Hm, not much different.
Posted by: writer132 | February 27, 2007 at 02:26 PM
Indian accent is pretty funny though.

oh, and I heard it was negative 3 credits....
Posted by: Chaz | February 27, 2007 at 02:37 PM
But how many prairie dog credits do you get?

Posted by: Chaz | February 27, 2007 at 02:48 PM
For that kind of money, it better be a really funny class!

The ladies of Anthrax Castle, 'tis rumoured, rather enjoy to be restrained and tickled
Posted by: Gadfly | February 27, 2007 at 02:53 PM
Reads Dave's columns in an Oxford Accent. Some work, some not so much.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | February 27, 2007 at 02:53 PM
Are these comments going to be on the test?
Posted by: the Yearning Heart | February 27, 2007 at 02:56 PM
Please don't squeeze the freshmen.
Posted by: Stevie W | February 27, 2007 at 02:57 PM
There's a TEST!!??
Posted by: casey | February 27, 2007 at 02:57 PM
**SNORK** @ Stevie W.
Though that does kinda take the fun out of visiting campus...
Posted by: Clean Hands | February 27, 2007 at 02:58 PM
Ooh good. Now I can get Dave's books in Cliffs Notes versions.
Posted by: Stevie W | February 27, 2007 at 02:59 PM
He could write it off as a business expense, and maybe even get the Herald to pay for it...
Dave absolutely MUST enroll in this class. Can you imagine the look on the prof's face on the first day of class?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | February 27, 2007 at 03:04 PM
And then he can write a book about the experience.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | February 27, 2007 at 03:05 PM
DPC.... we'd have to assemble a crack(ed) team to keep the prof from having a heart attack. (DDD and myself, natch.) That facial expression would have to be immortalized in photos. It would be an instant classic.
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | February 27, 2007 at 03:06 PM
but can they get him to poop on target?
Posted by: mudstuffin | February 27, 2007 at 03:07 PM
Chris, do you think he'd know how???
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2007 at 03:08 PM
*volunteers to be the official crap-papparazzi*
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2007 at 03:09 PM
or as they say in the biz... crapparazzi!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2007 at 03:10 PM
"Dave absolutely MUST enroll in this class."
That would be hilarious, DP. Maybe he should wear Martin-Scorcese-glasses and ask a lot of stupid questions. And spitballs. Don't forget the spitballs.
Posted by: Stevie W | February 27, 2007 at 03:11 PM
Dave could use the prof's photo as the cover art for the book (he could probably handle that, especially after taking the class).
Could we get John Cleese enrolled also? Mark Twain is not really available right now...
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | February 27, 2007 at 03:14 PM

Posted by: Nurse Tammy | February 27, 2007 at 03:15 PM
Do we get graduate level credits for being on the blog?
Posted by: ArcticAl | February 27, 2007 at 03:17 PM
We should have a Master's Degree in Boogernometry by now, right?
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2007 at 03:21 PM
Siouxie, better bring the hot wax. I just spotted Hammie's showcam in one of the Hahvud dorms...
Posted by: JerseyGirl | February 27, 2007 at 03:23 PM
AHA!!! BUSTED!!! Hammie?? ju gots son splainin' tu du!
JG, figures we can't be too careful, huh?

Hey, Stevie said not to squeeze the freshmen... he didn't say anything about filming them.
*ducks, runs*

Waitaminnit! I've been good!
Posted by: Hammond Rye | February 27, 2007 at 03:33 PM
Siouxie, I'm sorry, but you obviously did not study for the test. It was supposed to be ORANGE spray paint, remember?

What - he moved it out of NT's shower?
Posted by: DeskDiva, who used to live in Punta Gorda | February 27, 2007 at 03:38 PM
um, guys...if Dave's writing is a part of the curriculum, what does that make this blog?
Suddenly I feel like someone is watching me....
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 27, 2007 at 03:38 PM
Oh wait - that's OtheU's shower cam. Never mind.
Posted by: DeskDiva, who used to live in Punta Gorda | February 27, 2007 at 03:39 PM
casey, you are correct!!
10 blog pts off the entrance exam for me!!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2007 at 03:40 PM
Topics include:
"Get thee to a funnery!"
"A Midsummer Night's Wet Dream"
"All @ss, poor Yorick, I knew (not gnu) him whale."
"Romeo and ...ohhh, shiny"
"To pee or not to pee"
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 27, 2007 at 03:42 PM
Verily, thou dost realizeth that we might well be construed as part of said curriculum. Ergo, it would behoove us to speaketh in sucheth a mannereth as to not embarasseth our esteemed muse, Mr. Barry. Henceforth, we shalt commenceth with haught regard and personage, and speaketh with tongue set forthright upon our derrieres. Yea, boogereth!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 27, 2007 at 03:46 PM
Class reading will certainly make Dave Happy...he can read HIS OWN book...again
Posted by: Chaz | February 27, 2007 at 03:46 PM
Annie, you think, perhaps...we're part of some comedic experimentation???

Posted by: mm | February 27, 2007 at 03:54 PM
Haha! They pay to get taught about Dave Barry and we just get to come here for free! Looosers!

A three way with a mind meld. No wonder I'm typing with a lispth.

Syllabus items:
Compare and constrast insomniac's parody song lyrics and mudstuffin's haikus.
24: Why blogging is better than watching.
If Twain were alive today would be blog? Would he tell booger jokes?
Is blogging better than crack: comparing posting frequency and addictive cycles.

'Tis not mine, fair damsel. Perchance a mischievous spirit makes its entertainment with me.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | February 27, 2007 at 04:02 PM
Jesus, what I wouldn't give to see Mark Twain blog. That was one smart, funny, complicated man.
Posted by: Clean Hands | February 27, 2007 at 04:02 PM
and if Twain were alive today he would probably host the mother of all humor forums. (fora?)
Also he'd probably be president.
Posted by: mm | February 27, 2007 at 04:02 PM
and another psychic simul
Posted by: mm | February 27, 2007 at 04:04 PM
At those prices for one class, Harvard oughta dig up Twain and make him a guest lecturer.
The least they can do is invite Dave, his being alive and all.
Posted by: Lairbo | February 27, 2007 at 04:08 PM
Siouxie of Miamieth ...blame it on the cat
Posted by: Chaz | February 27, 2007 at 04:12 PM
sure now they have these courses at haaaavaaaad. when i was in college, we had to furtively listen to our python whilst hiding under the bed. but now, well, now, there you have it.
Posted by: queensbee | February 27, 2007 at 04:18 PM
Not to rain on Dave's parade, but I vaguely remember reading about some fancy schmancy ivy league school that was teaching (and I'm not making this up) a class on "The Movies of Keanu Reeves."
So, you know, there's that.....
But, I do agree the bloggers should get some kind of credit. Maybe a $1 off in the student commisary... Course they're probably serving escargot and the $1 wouldn't go far....
Posted by: Clark Kent | February 27, 2007 at 04:19 PM
"The Movies of Keanu Reeves."
Like in the ending of The Matrix when they make fun of how stupid he is by telling him to "run to the left...no, your other left"

Siouxie ... I would never choose to disappoint you in any way, shape or form, but as a card-carrying member of the Profession of Photojournalism, I am compelled to suggest that I would be the "official" photographer of these class sessions.
Do not be dismayed, however. Your quaint little "crap-cam" is a useful tool, and your efforts will be greatly appreciated.
After all consideration however, I feel that my expertise and experience might serve more than any other person's, to capture the essence of the moment, so to speak.
Professor? Excuse me sir or madam, as the case may be. In order to accomplish a more meaningful photograph for the Harvard Catalogue, could I respectfully request that you move slightly to your right ... yes, another step, please ... yes, that's very good ... now, could you turn your head slightly to the left, and lift your chin a bit? ... yes, a little more, please ... yes, and hold that pose, please ... *clickclickclickclickclickclickclick* ... ah, yes, the backlighting accents your booger quite well ... thank you.

Oh wait !! I do have ... "screw the bot"
Posted by: Jazzzz | February 27, 2007 at 04:31 PM
Pssst. Anybody seen Prairie Dog? He has a nice Pythonesque interlude back on the frog thread.
Posted by: JerseyGirl | February 27, 2007 at 04:35 PM
Don't know as I could be president, unless I talked many townfolk into whitewashing my past.
Posted by: Samuel Clemens | February 27, 2007 at 04:36 PM
Yay! I remember being forced to read "classic literature" in elementary and high school, always wishing for the day we'd be required to read stuff by Dave. The day has arrived.
That's it - I'm switching to Harvard.
Posted by: Eli | February 27, 2007 at 04:53 PM
Sorry, Eli, but with that name I believe you have to go to Yale....
Posted by: CJrun | February 27, 2007 at 05:06 PM
But we still have to wonder if they'll be able to post quotes from Dave on their doorways.
Posted by: KCSteve | February 27, 2007 at 05:10 PM
KC - on their doorways? or doors?
