AAU Kicks Out Nebraska

[muffler dragon]

US Highway 77 links Nebraska with Kansas and South Dakota (turns into 75 there).

I'm not sure what that matters? Interstate 5 and 84 meet up in Portland, but that doesn't make it the geographic center of Oregon. Might be the center by population, but you didn't make that distinction.

Not to mention, most folk don't give a rat's azz what folk that don't actually live in Nebraska have to say about Nebraska.

I've known that for over ten years. The only thing my in-laws in Grand Island and Axtell wanted to know (from their chemist outsider) was if I had a recipe for crystal meth.

Well?

 

[muffler dragon]

Well?

Uhhh... no.

 

[AKAK]

Uhhh... no.

To quote Wooderson in Dazed and Confused...

"It'd be a lot cooler if you did."

Indeed. FWIW, I'm much happier not knowing as the explosive nature of the process is a little bit TOO HIGH for my liking. Not really interested in that type of accidental death.

What about LSD?

Dang....that's what all that research the AAU is looking for goes to...

No dice. Give Timothy Leary a holler.

Synthesizing crystal meth doesn't take a great deal of chemical knowledge. It wasn't a bunch of Ph.D. chemists going to the pharmacy that caused them to put Benadryl behind the counter.

edit: It wasn't me either.

So from this thread I can safely conclude that it's the University of Nebraska's fault that Americans are so fat.

Good job guys.

Well... if Muffler would give up the Meth recipe, they could slim them back down.

As opposed to most folk not giving a rat's ass about what people who live in Nebraska have to say about Nebraska?

All I know, is, you are the state next to the state that has Wall Drug.

I've been accused a number of things, but this is a new one! :thumbsup:

So from this thread I can safely conclude that it's the University of Nebraska's fault that Americans are so fat and use Meth.

Good job guys.

See? We're known for something. Besides, without Nebraska, what else would you folks have to fly over on your way to SanFran, or Miami, or wherever you people go? Next time you fly past, look down. I'll be sittin' on my tractor gnawin' on my wad o' chaw. I'll be sure to wave as you go on by.



Anyway, I'm pretty much over the AAU thing. There's no getting around this - it sucks for the University of Nebraska. Academia is prestige-based, and this detracts from UNL's prestige, no doubt. But, the AAU is moving to a format that devalues the work this university primarily does, and it's important work. So you either acquiesce to the demands of some outside body or to the needs of your state, and of course your state wins out. So it goes.
