I Know It's Infantile

And I really should be beyond such things; but I would be lying if I didn't admit that I found the fact that my shopping cart today at Whole Foods pulled continually to the right to be most gratifying.

Now you've done it...you've alerted D. Frisch to the right leaning shopping cart. No doubt she will swing through on her way to Oregon and realign that cart to the left. She has some time on her hands now that she isn't teaching at UA anymore....

Hahaha, you're probably right. I'm sure a memo will go out from Whole Foods Politburo Central to urgently check all shopping carts for their allignment.

That Frisch affiar is really just mind-boggling.

Well, sadly, it's not, which is even sadder.

Great. Now you've ruined Whole Foods, too. Sometimes I wish I could keep my ee-ville influence to myself.

Are you sure it was the cart, Mr. Bingley? Perhaps you circled clockwise around the beer & wine section, and your attention was not on food?

Or did you have a couple o' snorts before picking up the vittles?

I did some research on Frisch, not much but some. She was an adjucnt prof, (more of an instructor than a prof and not tenured track) at UA and seems to have had a run in or two with Bainbridge. Posted some at Lamplighter about her and some of the others who think "civil debat" is hate speech.

Well, Mike, beating people with "debat" hardly qualifies as "civil", n'est pas?

THS don't make me drown you in denile

My bride (who is a tenured prof) looked her up a bit, as well. It seems she bounced around a bit.

Can't threaten moi ~ I'll climb defence to get away, Mike.

Posted by: tree hugging sister at July 9, 2006 05:46 PM

THS - defence is what the military does, not what you climb.

Mr. B - I have nothing to refer to, but understand that Frisch has been doing the adjunct stuff for a long time, which jives with whatt the real prof found....seems she is a real rate grabber as well as linguist.

"Whole Foods"? You are dead to me, hippie.
