I want to preen a little bit: My school scored top 20 on the Princeton Review's "Best Academic Experience", "Profs Get High Marks", "Profs Make Themselves Accessible", "School Runs Like Butter", (that is, "smoothly"; not "clogged with dairy fat"), "Students Never Stop Studying", and "Most Beautiful Campus" lists. Sure, you can't take the lists too seriously, but I'm still proud of my school.

Gosh, that's a lot of boldface on the front page. Sorry.

This thread will be a hell of a lot more interesting if y'all take the opportunity to preen a little bit too. What are you proud of?

But butter is dairy fat.

I'm not obsessive about anonymity, but I did leave the name out intentionally. Ah, what the heck.

Oh yeah? Well, my school could beat up your school.

Cool. One of my former law school professors teaches there now.

Well, my school could beat up your school.
On the whole, we'd rather just party with you.

Preen away my finely wolf and dogged friend.

Oh yeah? Well, your school may be a good on, but my school is the damn best one in the whole damn country! So what if it's a small country?

Almost every morning I see at least one bunny on campus here. They're brown right now but turn white in the fall, so it's almost comical to see them in November when there's no snow on the ground, and they're staying sooooo stilllll to avoid detection.

Ah, what the heck.

So, are you at Washington or Lee? Or is that just the more formal way of addressing William and Mary?

...and by bunny I meant white-tailed jackrabbit

My school got in the top 20 for:

More Homogeneity than you can shake a stick at

Drunken vomiting in the bushes

The "I'm so drunk I don't know what I'm doing" approach to romance
