Good Evening, Class!

Welcome Students, Parents, Alumni (and the NSA)! I don't just work from 6:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. I'm apt to be thinking about something for class at any time of the day or night. So I decided to start "THS After Hours" as a way of extending our day. If you're new at the blog, the most recent entries are at the top of the page, and they get older and older as you go down the page. Just like archaeology.

Block IV: This American Life

You can read this, too, if you're in Block II.  We did this today in Block IV; you'll be getting it later in the year.

Okay, remember that radio story about "that guy"?  It's from a radio show called "This American Life".  Check it out.

Here's one of my favorite episodes: from November 2, 2001.

Act Three. People Like You If You Put a Lot of Time Into Your Appearance. To prove this simple point, a familiar one to readers of any women's magazines, we have this true story of moral instruction, told by Luke Burbank, in Seattle, about a guy he met on a plane who was dressed in a hand-sewn Superman costume. (13 minutes)

I thought that the "that guy" radio show was so funny and so true. Everyone hates to become "that guy" but at what point does rebelling against the "that guy" epidemic actually make you "that guy" simply because you rebel? Such a strange thing to thing about. Loved it.
