If it has no, what was that phrase...yeah! "redeeming social value", yeah.
Child: I don't like Brussels sprouts.

Parent: How do you know you don't like Brussels sprouts? You've never had or even tried Brussels sprouts before.

Child: Brussels sprouts are nasty, nasty, nasty.

Parent: Aw, com'on, Jimmy. Just try the Brussels sprouts. Lots of people LOVE Brussels sprouts. You'll probably love Brussels sprouts, too, if you'll just try one. Sometimes it's nice to add butter, mayo, salt & pepper, or capers or other things to spice them up a bit, but Brussels sprouts are wonderful!

Child: Will you buy me a new PlayStation if I eat just ONE?

Parent: Sure, Jimmy. Try just one and mommy will get you a new PlayStation.

Jimmy (after eating one Brussels sprout): Wow, mommy those are GOOD! I want some more Brussels sprouts.

No, but I think she'll give you some Brussels Sprouts! (Keith's favorite veggie, BTW) :lol:

If I feed him some Brussels Sprouts, will he buy me some pornography?

My alma mater has had, as commencement speakers the past few years, President WJC, Stephen Colbert, Sen. Barack Obama, and this years will be Madeleine Albright.

I think our respective speakers will cancel each others votes...
I wonder what kind of speech Obama gave.

That same Freshman year, Dan Quayle was the commencement speaker. (He was a relative of Bishop Quayle, who had been a major donor / bigwig for Baker University) Quayle gave a very bland speech. Imagine my surprise when he was the VP choice of Bush.

Later, in law school, Clarence Thomas came to give a speech at Creighton (where he wife had graduated). It was before his confirmation hearing, and he was under very strict orders to not discuss anything that could be controversial in the least part. Again, not a very intersting speech.

(I can imagine, becuause of that connection, the CBS nihgtly news had an affilaite interview Creighton law students during the Thomas-Hill hearings.)
I didn't go to a very prestigious college. Our Commencement speaker was the guy who mowed the lawns of Fred "Rerun" Berry from "What's Happening".

I wonder what Mr Buckley would say if he read the turns his RIP post has taken.

He'd probably wished he eaten more Brussel sprouts and less caviar.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

Probably something I couldn't understand without a dictionary.
