(1) The C-box is gone. If you have no clue what I'm talking about, then you just further justified my decision. If no one uses it, it gets taken away! (sorry, that was the teacher in me...) On a similar note of blog-related house cleaning, I've got an idea brewing for a way to revamp the homework assignments in Cynicism 101 (muuwhahaha!), because the current effort on my part is pathetic at best.
(2) If I were to think of something that I perform worse at than every other aspect of my current career and life, it's probably keeping up with blog awards and then obeying all the picayune rules they come with. Two of you fine students, Brent Wescott from Building Castles on the Beach, and Mollie from OK in UK, awarded me with the following flair recently:
Brent's award was specifically aimed at the day Dr. Optimism stopped by to spread his cheerful hackysack-kicking-hippie-ish propaganda to the class. Mollie's award was part of a
(3) Did you go to Sprocket Ink this past Friday and help me give names to baby gorillas? Did that random sentence just give you an aneurism?
(4) During my break-neck paced work days, I still somehow find time to troll the whimsical internets to keep tabs on useless news, even more useless rumors, recent nip slips, and of course memes. Just a few days ago, one of my grad students reacquainted me with an old standby: Vengeance Dad. I entered my lab to find a different Vengeance Dad poster on every computer. I forgot how much this meme brings tears of joy to my sad, cynical, and underpaid face. Enjoy some of my favs, all found at Know Your Meme.
I think you awarded me that thingamabob so I would forget to bitch about you removing the c-box as I was one of the students that used it the most. The fact that I have no life is totally irrelevant. Yeah, you thought I would be all swept up in "you like me, you really like me" bull shit.
Hilarious. (I try to keep my own vengeance dad thoughts inside.)
Wow. That was really weird seeing the picture of that award show up on my feed.
Now that it is gone, I am interested in the C box again.
Doc, I'll be sharing that Vengeance Dad with the Hubster. Whew! now I can quit worrying about not having a gift for him.

Hilarious!!!!
I'm awake.
What was the question?
Who's that riding in the sun?
Who's the man with the itchy gun?
Who's the man who kills for fun?
Vengeance Dad, Vengeance Dad, Vengeance Daaaaaad!
That guy is so incredibly creepy.
Those things you don't keep track of...
Sorry, but I just added one to your award trophy case. It's shiny.
@ Nubian: What? What ever are you talking about? Just focus on that shiny new award!
@ dbs: It's okay to release those thoughts - when you're alone in the woods.
@ Bryan White: Funny how these things come full circle, right? Great work on inventing that award man - it's unique. And welcome to class!
@ bearman: It's always greener on the other side, right? You know what, I miss it too. **be strong Dr. C - promised myself I wouldn't cry**
@ Nicole: I can see that as the next Vengeance Dad poster: "Her gift to me was a meme. Now it's a Father's Day she'll never forget."
@ Oilfield Trash: I'll just assume you mean hilarious about every single thing I said :-)
@ Antares: No sleeping! Unless you bring me donuts.
@ Drake "Official Jingle Maker for Internet Memes" Sigar: You should make a job out of that my friend.
@ newteacherwife: Absolutely.
@ Antares: Dammit Antares! Why do you have to be so nice?! By the way, I just clicked over to your profile and it said it had been viewed 666 times. I'll let you decide whatever that means.
I liked the C-Box, since Dr. C hadn't been posting with any regularity as of late, it kept me in the loop.
Also, I don't know what Vengence Dad is, but he looks super creepy.
Why did you take down the C box? I was just about to use it....nah, not really. You're really scooping up the awards aren't you? How much are u paying these people to give awards, so you look important? I know how you college professors are...lol
That meme is amazing! You can totally see the fear behind the smiles in Vengeance Dad's family's faces, especially the son. When the photo shoot's over, the nightmare BEGINS....
It means that my descent into handing out evil awards didn't last long.
.\/. MwuuahahahaHaa
@ Sunshine: Not posting regularly?! I post like every... month... or so. Okay, okay.
@ Alessandra: Yup, you know us - needing to decorate our walls with any kind of official paper or document known to man, simply to fight the cognitive dissonance caused by going to school for an ungodly amount of time to finally end up doing work that no one really cares about. My god that felt good to release...
@ Dr Becca: Right?! I love that addition to the meme - you should post it on one of those sites!
@ Antares: Or that it might last.... FOREVER! Muwhaha back at ya.
Part of the great thing about the Classic is that there are no rules to follow. Do what you will with it, man.
It Just Got Interesting
I read every word of this but did not understand any of it except you got an award and you gave one to Nubian or you gave a venereal disease to her. I'm sure it's me, not you. I'll read it again tomorrow when it's cooler.
a C-box sounds dirty so i'm not gonna look that one up, but i did look up picayune and now i feel all educated and shit.
It's herpes, gahdammit, not syphilis. Er, maybe they're synonymous, I'm too lazy to google.
Nubian...good choice. And Vengeance Dad? Oh yeah. I enjoy seeing 4chan/reddit items pop up in my blogreading.
@ Brent: Great thing indeed :-) Thanks again!
@ Linda: No, it's probably me.
@ pattypunker: Awesome! Gratz on the edumacation :-)
@ Mollie: Whoops! Sorry, after dealing with so many of them, I start to get STDs all mixed up. I'll change it now!
