Parking

Re: Parking

Actually since you have pried your way into my personal life I will share with you. For the first 4 years after graduation my wife and I donated over $1,000 a year. I challenge you to find a couple under the age of 25 with that size of donation. In 2006 I lost my job and went back to school to become a teacher. At this time our donations stopped, as of September of this year my wife and I (as teachers we only get paid once a month) received our first full paycheck in over two years. You can rest assured that our donations will be coming soon.

You should have donated that $1,000+ per year to a Roth IRA. You may have cost yourself $100,000 or so for retirement, but at least the Panthers got new jerseys for 5-6 players. I'm sure you'll be thrilled with that decision when you're 65.

Re: Parking

Those ideals apply even in a very pedestrian forum discussing issues of relatively little grand importance like this.

Whoa... If you think these issues are of little importance, you need to step back and put things into perspective.

I can't afford groceries some months, but I make sure I donate enough money to the University of Iowa so I can get good football tickets, a nice parking spot, and get a bumper sticker that says "IOWA ALUM" so everyone knows where I went to school. I also am fighting the bank to keep my house and have a brand new fully-loaded SUV that sits in the driveway because I can't afford gas to drive it. I have $25,000 in credit card debt because I needed to buy a few flat screen televisions, a couple leather couches, DirecTV, and some other sweet stuff for my pad. I'm 30, but haven't started saving for retirement because I need to maintain the appearance that I'm wealthy so people respect me.

I also argue about coaching decisions with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, spend 80% of my time reading articles about high school kids and praying to Jesus that they decide to come to Iowa and am devastated for days when they don't, repeat everything I hear on talk radio but present it as my own opinion because I don't really understand anything, get defensive and call names when people use big words that I don't understand or try to use logic in their arguments, and do curls in front of the mirror every night with no shirt on while listening to Rock 108 and chugging Amp energy drinks.

I understand that elitists like you think you can push us around with your logical arguments and fact-supported opinions, but I think it's bull. My opinions, while they are unsound and unsupported, are just as good as yours. It says that in the First Amendment, if you didn't know. I don't need to explain why I think what I think. I just know that I'm right and that you're wrong. Obama is a terrorist, offshore drilling is the answer to all energy problems, stem cell research is murder, the Sun revolves around the Earth (look at it, moran), and two dudes who love each other will ruin the sanctity of marriage although the fact that I've been divorced 3 times is of no relevance to the discussion.

This is America. Everyone is equal, no matter how ignorant, inbred, or stupid they may be. I can do what I want with my money, even if it means that you, the taxpayer, will ultimately pay for my bad mortgage, health care, retirement, and my children's education. That's your problem.

Go USA! Get a brain, moran.

Re: Parking

I heard Deno Curris one time state the job of a university president is threefold:

Sex for the students.
Winning football for the alumni.
Parking.

And people say management is difficult...

Not a fan of the Cardinals, huh?

I was wondering who or what a "Moran" was as well! Maybe we are "morons" for not realizing that a "Moran" is a cool thing? He seems to know a lot.

Re: Parking

Here's a link to the picture to let you in on the inside joke on this thing, since CK is apparently gonna let you guys hang without explaining it.

You will find pictures of this "Moran" all over the internet on sites like Fark and Digg and other similar discussion forums. There is no way you could have possible understood the joke unless you've stumbled across it before.

Definitely looks like a typical Cardinals fan though!

How do you know he was joking? Maybe that WAS claykenny.
