About Me:
I am a four-year college with a comprehensive, compulsory
curriculum. If you attend me, I will make you the bane of
cocktail parties on every corner of the planet! The only
teachers I employ are the great books of western
civilization, which can be acquired at our convenient
bookstore, or at a local used bookshop for very little--And
Yet I am one of the most expensive colleges ever. Plus: if
you attend me you WILL contract an STD.
-
Who I Want to Meet:
Young men (and women, too!) who want to learn how to learn,
and who don't mind an STD or two among friends who will
soon hate you because they see you every goddamn day.
As you can tell, I also live in Santa Fe New Mexico. When I
am out there, the heat slows down my brain, and I often
find myself incapable of 1. writing coherent essays, 2. spouting
off fallacious semi-scientific theories of matter, or 3.
generally doing anything productive other than selling pot.
On the other hand: I am suddenly able to play the piano.

I realized the greatest thing ever is
seersucker on the bod, the silver
bullet in the hand, and lawn sports on
the brain. The key to happiness is
this: Wear thin clothing and walk
around on the grass with your friends,
drinking and displaying nonchalant
athleticism all the way. That's the
high life. And having a fatty boom-
batty blunt on hand at someone's house.
college, I would bone St. John's
College. This would involve having an
exceptionally large penis, one for
which the cupola room would prove
a "snug fit." If I had such a penis, I
would use it to smash. - -But what does
all this really have to do with St.
John's? --You have shown your
ignorance, dear lady, for I am citing
here the Lesser Hippias.
your jokes when they're all so bad,
and you're jokes are all so bad..."
St. John's has taught me to yearn to
be a world leader, but it given me
only a kernel of preperation. I made
it through only the first two years,
and I rarely did as much reading as I
was supposed to. When a great number
of people go to college to learn
something specific to make money, St.
John's will school you in ways you
never expected. It seems most people
who manage all four years come out
jaded, having seen the recent
direction of western philosophy and
unable to comprehend the joy involved.
I still don't know about recent
western philosophy, but that it seems
very joyless. The two years I did
have, have slingshotted me off into
the rest of my life. I love you, St.
John's, but I may never return.

Annapolis location, I can onl say
this: I am glad I went
