I found it rather pedestrian, myself.

TimT said...

Maybe the student should have included it in a footnote?

Martin Kingsley said...

Possibly he or she would have better served cutting off their own feet and proceeding to kick themselves in the head with them, as opposed to writing the essay in the first place. Look what it has spawned! For every one of those comments, a kitten died.

That is so cute I think I'd like to marry it.

The comment, that is. You're all cute too but it's just not the same...

I'll shut up now.

Alexis, Baron von Harlot said...

Ha! I really get my kicks outta this kinda thing.

Kicks, I tell you.

Lexi..it's just so you. I think this student could be your solemate.

Do you mean someone who ‘gets’ her by walking a mile in her shoes?

TimT said...

That comment, basically, is a shoe in, and the writer obviously isn't afraid to toe the line. But can anyone get it to come to heel?
