Auburn, AL should be DQ'd based upon teeth per capita alone.

Hawk attempts to find job, fails miserably

I was pleased to discover, through my clandestine Alaskan network, that you have not finalized a new law clerk for the upcoming year. I hope you find this letter portentously post facto rather than unskillfully delinquent. I wish to spare you the unleavened hardtack of your sensible, standard cover letter and instead appeal to your irrational masculine avatar through a reflective vignette.

I grew up in suburban Kansas City in a perfect neighborhood on a perfect street in a perfect house.

My parents afforded me every opportunity and expected results. Laboriously, I molded myself into a surprisingly athletic, covertly academic, role player. The Dalai Lama might even have congratulated me on my stubbornly unconditional perspective. Adorned in a passion for the sciences, I followed the tracks to Lawrence, Kansas. Here, I learned to be a Jayhawk.

Bouquets of regimental red and yellow tulips line the campus boulevard like a million Kansas City Chiefs fans cheering you from class to class. Each sunny spring day in Lawrence, with dudes in shorts and sunglasses and ladies in short skirts, seemed a microcosm for the whole four years. The Kansas Greek scene made for an interesting cocktail, one part social one part societal jockey and only one ice cube to cool it down. I sipped confidently from this hearty libation. Overwhelmed by ubiquitous female beauty, animal instinct to succeed prevailed.

I read that in Tobias Funke's voice.

[CNS]

Good god.  He actually thought that would work

 

I would have trashed that dumbass letter halfway through it.

I would have trashed that dumbass letter halfway through it.

I would have made copies and distributed it throughout the office so everyone could have a good chuckle.

JOURNALISM!

[sonofdaxjones]

"my fifty mile bubble of experienced existence" could describe 2/3's of the students at ku.   I'll never forget a few years back some phogtuck trying to tell me that the majority of K-State alums never leave Kansas.   I explained to him that 1/3 or more of ku alums live within 1 hour of Lawrence, and that over 50% of K-State alums reside outside of Kansas.

That quote sums up why so many of them think that Lawrence is the be all and end all . . . they simply know nothing else besides Lawrence and the Beige Subdivision Jungle of Johnson County (I grew up there when it actually had some character and charm).

Sad

Lawrence is just a great town.  Way better than any other shitty town Kansas has to offer.  And it's true, more KU alums leave the state of Kansas because on average, more KU alums are liberal, and more KU alums are from states outside of Kansas.  There's a huge pipeline of students from Chicago who come to KU, and every single one of them that I was friends with absolutely fell in love with Lawrence.  You can try to deny the truth until you're blue in the face, but there really is something unique and different about Lawrence that you don't really get from anywhere else in Kansas.  I'm sure Manhattan has improved a lot over the last decade or so, but it's still not Lawrence.

i like lawrence

A college student that fell in love with the town they went to college in. Lawrence really is a special place.

it's true, there are lots of chicago people at ku.  because ku is the closest school to illinois that is cheap and easy to get into.

Dax's entire argument was that KU students only like KU because they live within a 50 sq. mile bubble.  People don't just call it a "perfect college town" and rank it in the top 10 college towns in the country because they grew up in Joco.

Iowa is a pretty big fall back option.  Lot of Chicago chaff ends up there too.  Michigan State is one as well.

Actually someone just did a study on people who rank Lawrence in the top 10 college towns in the nation. Every single one of them was from Johnson County. Isn't that crazy?

[star seed 7]

not crazy at all.

lawrence is a fun place to visit, but living there is really a pain in the balls.

Lawrence: Chicago will vouch for us

[420seriouscat69]

Who gives two fucks where students come from? Sometimes the KU/K-State pissing match gets weird.
