English has a lot of inconsistent spellings because we imported other languages's words but in at least one case we did it by accident.
The word "ghost" was spelled "gost" in middle English, from old English gāst.
But in the 1470s an English merchant named William Caxton goes to Bruges, Belgium and starts using this fancypancy new printing press to make a bunch of books in English. In 1484 he publishes the Royal Book, and the prologue mentions the "Holy Ghoost". Where'd the H come from?
Well, at the time the Flemish word for ghost was spelled "gheest". William Caxton's assistant was German and mixed up how you spell it in Flemish and how you spell it in English and accidentally changed how we spell it in English.

Fuck it the brain worms are back:
Gravity Fall University, an AU/continuation idea my brain just thought up.
After spending 5 years adventuring in their old age Ford and Stan decide to head back to Gravity Falls to open a college with a focus on paranormal science, and gift shop, Stan runs the business and money side while Ford becomes head professor of the school, right around this time is Dipper & Mabel's 19th birthday, with their senior year coming to a close they start looking for colleges, there is some tension as Dipper wants to go to Fancypants U. While Mabel wants to go to Cheap Art School (we can't afford a name!), however their problem is solved when they get an invitation to Gravity Falls University, run by their Grunkles, and they decide to go to college together.
However their new school isn't all sunsprites and Unicorns and gnomes, when a transfer student from Florida visits the Falls, named William Decodaire, sees an odd statue at the local museum and tourist trap, and while thinking it would be a funny photo opp, shakes the statue's hand, completely ignoring the "Don't shake Statue's hand" sign just below it, this gets Willy possessed by Bill, unfortunately without a proper contract deal Bill doesn't actually have full control, taking William over only when asleep, lucky for Bill, he can vibe with this kid, as this guy hears unending chaos and unimaginable horrors and goes "cool", so the two decide to go to Gravity Falls U as well for Bill to exact revenge and for William to be moral support? He's chill with Bill so the triangle doesn't really care.
Paz would also be there, basically after Mcgucket got their fortune the Northwests decided to downgrade to a suburb and money got tight so an in town school that she was immediately willing to go to because there was a high chance Dipper would be there was the best choice, yes I ship Dipcifica what of it
So the basic setup is a college for the paranormal in Gravity Falls brings the original cast and mixes them with new weirdos who wanted in on the weirdness school. Might write this later but new ideas started flowing so I wanted to write them down regardless if I do anything with this, feel free to add on if this concept interests you!

Like woah. I totally just got a copy of the story of ferdinand on dvd, I'm gonna burn it and try to put it online so you're pretty little eyes can see all about "from under the cork tree". Its so amazing.
Turn me on like a switch and off like a faucet. We had fun at bamboozled but we were definitely pissed off about all of the kids that weren't allowed in while we were playing. That's all on the fire marshall and staff their. We definitely told them things had to be different next year if we were gonna play.
Me and william from academy are probably gonna do this project next year, watch out for it.
Lately on the internet all I have been reading is how we're either gonna be the next big thing and save this kind of music or how we ruined it and our record is terrible. I personally think we fall somewhere in between. Its a lot of pressure either way and all we hope is that you check out the record for yourself and decide on your own.
We got a big tour were planning for the fall.
Staylovely

come on, get FUCT!
no we're not being mean or saying get laid... go out and grab our new record "from under the cork tree", it's out rigggght now.
what about when cartman has the tea party with: artemis clyde frog, polly prissy pants, and peter panda. pretty hilarious.
new jersey gave me some awesome closet secrets but it's new york that i'm just this in love with.
news about some stuff in the next day or so.
May 3, 2005
i love the way you type...
didn't you think it would be about time where it got to the point where people hated us just for the sake of it? i have so much to say about it but i am keeping it in. it's just not worth addressing every internet claim or review. no offense to your standards but i don't think you got the point of what we were doing. THE LYRICS and SONGS are a commentary on YOU. you are what is ruining music and what we love... we aren't writing summer songs and we aren't writing progressive music- we're calling you out- so when we're reading your IMs, we're laughing cause you didn't even get it. everything you read about us isn't true. i'm not saying everyone should love our record or us, that would be ridiculous. music is a very subjective thing. i understand that but your condescending bullshit and unnecessary harshness doesn't go unnoticed. we remember you and the way you can't ever say anything to our faces. what are you in it for? the music or the misery? thanks to the people who have stuck by us through thick and thin... you are our heart.
what would they say if they could see us now?

05/04/05 Q&A
question

answer
my husband (patrick) is an amazing guitarist too.
05/05/05
question
pete. being in love with your best friend: in or out in 2005?
answer
same sex, definitely in. opposite sex was like so 90’s.
May 11, 2005
a day in the life of the new york trip:
woken up today at 9 am by patrick and our publicist to do an interview for rollingstone. my throat is fucking wrecked. couldn't really talk in the interview.
joe and hurley go to get haircuts at some fancypants spot. patrick and i on the other had are content with looking like we haven't showered in a month.
pick up my sister and go over to NBC studios.
soundcheck and realize that no back ups will be going on tonight. i can barely sing regularly and mostly suck but can't even really talk.
soundcheck goes pretty badly. go back and hope that it goes alright.
run into matt dillon backstage. definitely comment on the movie "over thedge", dunno if he appreciated it. he said "punkrock huh? you sound like the pistols" i had to pee so i said "yeah kind of" and went to the bathroom.
change and our publicist tapes the hole in the crotch of my pants and says i will ruin the entire show if they rip. but i think a blur on conan would be pretty funny.
i gotta say this is one of the only times i have been nervous about performing. mostly because it was so unnatural. its not like a show at all, so that felt awkward. the rest went alright. i'm glad you guys make us feel so comfortable and all, its the only thing that makes it worth keeping on doing this.
home soon.
sorry for the lack of updates. got a writers block attatched to a chain around my neck.

question
Why did patrick suck balls on FUSE?
answer
that kid is my bestfriend, i don’t care if you’re a girl i’d still punch you in the mouth if you said that to my face. have a nice day.
05/14/05
question
hey peter!! if u or william ever need help getting those hott girls pants or tight shirts off im here.
answer
thanks, but i handle his shirts and he handles my pants. then we switch.
question
Pete, it seems as though you always go for the rude/aggressive/not-so-nice girls. Or that is how it seems to me. Forgive me if I am wrong. Why is that? Why dont you go for a girl that is nice and sweet, but can be aggressive when she needs to be?
answer
haha. woah. it seems like you’ve been looking through the keyhole in at my life. i go for girls that my heart/hips like.
question
just how much of your songs is based in fact and how much in fiction? are they all about things that actually happened?
answer
we don’t write fiction.
question
Hey Pete, Well I gotta be honest, i just recently became a Fall Out Boy fan, but better late than never i guess. Anywho, i live in wilmette like 3 houses down from you and our dads play golf together every sunday. What was your favorite thing to do as a kid growing up in this town?
answer
i liked fireworks and skateboarding.
question
lets just be honest here — how completely jealous are you that i just came home from seeing mars black, the faint, and BRIGHT EYES at the riviera???? gasp!! it was beyond fabulous!
answer
nope. im going tonight.
question
where, and who to did the guys lose their virginty?
answer
hahahahahahahaha. jesus.
question
one of my guy friends (which is ugly and fat) asked me out but i told him i was going out with one of my other guy friends, so i had to ask my guy friend to fake going out with me even though we arent. now my fat ugly guy friend hates me and all my friends that like my fake boyfriend hate me too. was this as wrong as i think it is?
answer
yes. honestly, the best bet is always honesty on this type of stuff. everyone is always one step away from being ugly and fat themselves so think about that before you completely crush someone else.
question
the song with no sexual lyric: nobody puts baby in the corner.
answer
yes. honestly, the best bet is always honesty on this type of stuff. everyone is always one step away from being ugly and fat themselves so think about that before you completely crush someone else.
question
the song with no sexual lyric: nobody puts baby in the corner.
answer
judges? “nothing comes as easy as you”- “can i lay in your bed all day”
question
i was watching the “saturday” video and i noticed that all of you were wearing red armbands. i was wondering of there was any significane to it?
answer
viva le revolucion. message two. more to follow.
question
Best piece of literature youve ever read? and… tell patrick he fucking rocks. he doesnt get enough positive attention on here for getting the kickass guy he is.
answer
the best piece of literature i ever read was this torn up zine about 3 years ago- its called “go on, get left at an altar”- absolutely amazing. trust me patrick gets alot of positive attention. we make a trophy for him every night at a show and then we sing “you are the champion of the world” when he walks onto the bus.
question
Push-up bras: in or out in 2005?
answer
out. work with what you got.
question
I think I found the innuendo free song. “Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year”, am I right?
answer
patrick says “or are we just going down” is technically sexual.
question
im confused. who has the bad twin pancho or bedussey? will pancho make a creepy yet awe inspiring cameo in the sequel?
answer
pancho is dead or gone, we’re not sure. he will not be in Bad Twin
05/15/05
question
Is the song without a sexual reference Ive Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth?
answer
“kisses on the necks of just friends” kinda sexy dont you think. like if my friend was say william beckett that would be really sexy.
question
my brother just ate all my funyons.. do i pound on him or let it slide?
answer
funyons are gross. he did you a favor, high five him.
question
Get busy living or get busy dying - Is the innuendo free song. But then theres - Ive got a dark alley and a bad idea.. but the just friends part can be seen as an innuendo, so I go with my first answer. Is it right or am i wrong twice?
answer
“tell me you like boys like me better in the dark lying on top of you” “im falling apart to songs about HIPS and hearts”
question
im also in a band from the suburbs of chicago….whats the secret to your success?
answer
never really considered us successful. we’re always a step from falling apart. i guess success is just a matter of perspective. get in the van, its your best bet.
question
its my birthday today and to be honest i miss the feeling of being excited about birthdays like when i was younger. my question is: whats the thing you miss most about being a “kid”.
answer
being carefree. not knowing what regret was.
question
do you think that your rising fame will result in you guys no longer playing intimate shows (Metro, HOB, etc) and not hanging out with us before/after shows or at other local shows like the KOC here at home in Chicago? PS: you guys should try to play at the KOC again (like The Academy Is… did in March) sometime - that show would be insane.
answer
its harder to play smaller shows now because they aren’t safe and because alot of people don’t get in- keep a look out though. we’ll be playing shows around chicago in small venues all next year under secret names.
question
Hey Peterpants. How come every time my bestest friend Anna puts you on our team in Oregon Trail, you die? Last time you drowned while we were trying to ford the river. It makes us very very sad. We cried like, ten times. Do you any suggestions for how we can keep you alive?
answer
we had to do like a simulated version of oregon trail called wagons west when i was in fourth grade with mr. kemp- and everyone in the class got married and had a family except me and andrew corcoran had to be cousins and he kept trying to give me hugs. we died in the winter anyway, i can’t say anything about it though. andrew kind of made me want to be dead.
question
so are you just trying to make us go crazy by saying theres a song with no sexual innuendo? cause you know we are all trying to figure out which one it is, but you know that there really isnt one.
answer
i think there are two
question
Is the song without a sexual reference Ive Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth?
answer
that rules. i agree.

you wake up but not really. in the bedroom you grew up in. it's the only place on this entire planet that is yours- the only place on the planet that understands you. it understands the way your nerves flare every time you think about talking to anyone- scared into shyness at the thought of opening your mouth but the way you are the best hypocrite around when you're in front of a microphone. it knows what turns that switch on and off and back on again. it understands the way when you don't have a smile on your face everyone only spits: "whats wrong"s and "you look tired"s. so the way you keep it on your face just wide enough to avoid questions. it understands how neurotic you have become, the way you treat your flaws like old friends. the way you look in the mirror and think of yourself as "mr. misery"....
alot has been going on and not going on all at once. i went to the bright eyes show the other night expecting a near religious experience- possibly some connection. but i came away empty handed. i must say i winced when i realized that there wasn't an acoustic guitar in sight- though i was secretly hoping he'd play something off of "im wide awake", he stuck to his guns and played "digital ash" start to close. i then bought chuck's new book "haunted" and had a similiar experience- it felt watered down, kind of like reading stephen king rehashed over and over again. it scared me for a second, that maybe our new record feels like this to someone. more than anything i don't want to let you down. more than anything i hope that we are remembered for our sincerity, or not remembered at all.... there are big things in the air but i can't spill about them until i know for sure.
its funny the way i sit outside my house and there are seagulls overhead, but this far from the coast. it doesn't seem right. she said she would watch my troubles and worry so i wouldn't have to pack them and take them everywhere with me. and there's not a day that i don't think about dropping out and moving to the middle of nowhere cause sometimes it's just not fun anymore. and only YOU make it at all worth it. all clubs and contests aside i lie awake nervous as hell waiting for the dream to end. and sometimes i spill all the pills out on the tiled floor and sit there and think about the sweat dripping the makeup off of your faces and thats all there is. always. i know this probably isn't making sense but this is how i spend most of my days, far from the person i am supposed to be. in between all of the hooks and the screams- the right clothes and our eyes darkened just to the right shade- there is a boy who just doesn't fit in. but if it weren't for this place we have made, i don't know where i would be. i just wanted you to know you have our hearts.

i recieved this email a couple of days ago and have been being asked everyday since:
“There are flyers all over…and posted on MySpace sites…promoting a benefit show at Bethel Church in Palatine, hosted by Stereo Therapy Records. ( www.stereotherapyrecords.com)
Listed as playing…
American Homecoming
Breaking Back
Dear Me, Dear You
Just Left
Marty McFly
Second Star
Lost On 53
&
Mystery Guest
Then at the bottom are pictures of all the bands…including Fall Out Boy.
Then a kid in one of those bands asked me if you could sell out the place.
It holds 400.
Then another kid in one of the bands playing is telling people that you guys confirmed several days ago.
So are you playing it?
If not, they have definitely been using your image to promote the show on flyers and on their website, hinting that you will be playing.
April 25, 2005
"Hey stellas and stellers, I hope your week has been treating you well. I miss you all. The May 28th show at the Bethel Lutheran Church in Palatine has been confirmed. Go to the events for more information. We will have a special guest closing the show, and trust me, you will not want to miss it.”“
we are NOT playing this show, we will be out of town. we will not begin playing secret shows until after the fall next year and they will all be benefit shows…. we are all for supporting the local scene but at the same time do not want you to be suprised when we do not show up. please support local bands because they deserve it.
May 23, 2005

May 24, 2005
hey. things havebeen kind of hectic lately.
i just wanted to let you guys know my opinion on whats going on with FOB and all.
"we're the kids you used to love, then we grew old"
first of all, with us being on TRL and all. i have loved bands growing up- there are so many bands that i kept in my back pocket and began hating them when they grew up and got bigger. at first i told everyone i knew "i cant believe you havent heard of savestheday/lifetime/quicksand" then when i started seeing kids wearing the shirts and other kids at my school (that i didnt think were as cool as me) started talking about them- they stopped being cool to me, they stopped being my secret. being a part of this band has changed everything for me. when i was younger and i saw axl rose walk off the bus in the "welcome to the jungle video" i was like holy fuck- i want to be him. you have to believe me when i tell you this band was never supposed to get where it has- those who were there in the beginning know that- we were terrible, it was just something fun for us to do (if you dont believe me go try and find our demo and listen to it). but before we are in a band- WE ARE FANS OF MUSIC. most of the music out there on trl or the radio is complete shit to me- thats why when bands like: blink, new found, thursday, or taking back sunday get played or are on TRL- i loved it. id rather see a tbs or nfg video than a little jon or mariah carrey one any day of the week, and hopefully a couple of you feel that way about "sugar we're going down". they represent sincere music to me. it was like they were the flag that represented our scene and what we were doing- and everything we believed in. it made me smile to see- i have met and or am friends with all of those bands and they are doing it for the right reasons.
that being said, we want to be out there at the forefront of it- representing our scene, representing the people who have always believed in us. i understand that growing pains suck and sometimes it's hard to deal with. but we will always be the same boring kids from the suburbs of chicago. we have NEVER played their game. we do what we want. when they tried to get us to shoot a video with "a swimming pool party, with hot girls and punk oriented kids dancing" we said FUCK NO, that was not fob. When they asked us to do a mall tour we said FUCK NO that is not fob. We've been asked out by countless bands that we don't respect (for how they treat their fans or how they portray themselves) and we've turned it down, even if it would have made us much bigger. We've been offered sponsorships by companies that we do not agree with and we've turned them down even though they offered us alot of money. this is what we believe in. we (you and us) own these songs and we wont let them be cheapened by shit like that. the only reason MTV is interested in playing a video as weird as antler boy is because you guys bought the hell out of the record the first week. that is all real. i sometimes pinch myself, cause it's so unbelievable. bands always say "we're not gonna change"- but the proof is in the pudding, come and find me on warped tour- we're ready to prove the wrong.
no matter what happens fob has always been blood,sweat,gas,tears,fights and love. it is our rushmore. it is what we want to be remembered for. thank you so much for what you give us. if it means half that much for you help us out and vote on trl (on the news page). if it doesn't at least maybe this will explain our thinking. who would have ever thought you would be able to see an FOB video on tv?
as ive gotten older ive realized that noone is born cool- everyone has some deep dark secret- a band that got them into it all- for me those bands are like defleppard and metallica- for others i am sure they are bands that people would call cheesy or whatever- but hopefully these bands open the door for you to check out other bands that you might not have heard of otherwise. so when i go on our messageboard and see someone asking a question and see an og fob fan say "why dont you fucking know that" or "check the fucking thread below" or "shut up" or whatever it makes me feel like shit. imagine if we treated newbie bands like that, some of you never would have heard of the academy is or gym class heroes (even though both of these bands are so great they would have gotten there eventually)... so please try and be understanding- we love our oldest fans, you mean so much- and we'll always have cool stuff like the secret order of fob and secret shows, so don't worry.
anyway. i'm rambling and this probably doesnt make much sense. but ive been there before and just kinda wanted to explain some of my/our thoughts.
last night i saw my world explode.
May 26, 2005
Its not me, its you
The (after)life(r) of the party
Blow out the candles
And try to forget another year of favors (and how long its gonna take to repay them)
And sleeping in between cities
Im up to the hips with dreams
We’re green and gold racing towards 6 am
Who was me last night?
“slow down pretty boy”
but youre just not keeping up
and I never told you the way I love how you sleep in your make up
its not romance but itll have to do
would it be forward of me to say im the best youll (n)ever have
and dollface dreams are just something that get in the way of giving in
broken down not broken out
im only good for a couple of hours on your couch,
hand down the front of your pants or maybe for a story or two
im a stitch away from making it 
and a scar away from falling apart
full moon pills got me out on the streets at night
watch me transform in the moonlight
I watch you work the room
Knowing that its their smiles and clinking drinks at cocktail hour
But its always me at this time of night
Hips pressed close to mine – true blue
The way they talk about you aint even close
Envelopes postmarked to nowhere
Vacant baby
Im checking out
failure never looked so pretty
Line em up, flashes across the room in red
Kiss me electric
Leave my best days in memories
And my bestlines closed tight in books
Keep the lights off so I cant see your tears
She said “we should move somewhere deep in the middle of july”
And I replied “dream me up something better than me and you”
- petey
05/26/05 Q&A
question
Someone on a fall out boy group on Myspace is saying patrick has a myspace profile.But everyone is saying its fake becuse you dont even have one and you would be the first one to have one.So is it true that Patrick has one or is the profile just dead fake.

patrick does not have a myspace profile. he thinks the internet is the name of a taking back sunday song.
05/29/05

OMG THIS WOULD BE SO COOL
that could cause so much chaos due to their role in the world. we've seen them as butlers, guards, and even farmers so imagen that those bots (well more like workers), with programing that allows them to fricking learn, turning to monstrox side. that’s like 30% of the working population turning evil. plus, squire bots like dennis or fancypants that know personal information about some of the knights would be greater threats than actual monster because they could share that information with monstrox. and how many squire bots know classified information? i know that most of them are kinda stupid but since a good amount of them work for important people, like nobles or rich people, then wouldn't that make taking out those people and taking their estate that much easier. they could know were the captials or knights academy emergency supplies/weapons are located and if Knighton is deprived of that then their screwed even more than monstrox coming back for the tHIRD TIME
i swear monstrox is on the william afton shit
You know how the whole concept of season 5 for Nexo Knights is like, a tech virus thing? Like, Monstrox infects tech with a virus that makes them turn black/green and evil?...and usually in the process of biting (Cybercritters or something)
With that thought in mind isn't it technically like a zombie apocalypse...for the squire bots.
The fact that it's canon that Dennis gets infected too- just-

Betty Buttercup from The Sims 2 for Console! by William Fancypants
"As someone who has never played the Sims (any of them) on console, I've often had to rely on the Sims Wiki to get to know who some sims are. In fact, I made a story about Bella Goth's life entirely based upon the Sims Wiki and the Sims 2, nothing more. But that's off topic. One of the Sims I found was this lady, Betty, she owns a yacht, she has a humongous crush on Captain Longfellow, and she's crazy rich from, what I like to think, were pink flamengogo dancers, from the Sims 1. Here's some more personal information of her's:

5 Signs Hollywood Has No Idea How College Works
As Millennials are set to become the most educated generation in history, it has never been so important to properly prepare young folks for how college truly works. Which is harder than you might think, because Hollywood is constantly filling their smartypants heads with the wrong information. For example …
5
“The Dean” Is In Charge Of So Much Less Than Movies Think
Ah, the dean — the end-of-level boss any fun-loving college kid has to deal with at some point in their education. But are they really gods on campus, Judge-Dredd-like adjudicators who wield absolute power over the lives of their students, kicking them out for the slightest infraction / date rape?
In Monsters University, Mike and Sully are immediately expelled by Dean Hardscrabble for their spooky hijinks without so much as a tribunal or a conversation with the university president.
Disney/Pixar And they become the best scarers, so college degrees are basically meaningless.
In Animal House, whenever one of the Deltas’ “pranks” goes awry, it’s always Dean Wormer who arrives to deal with the situation.
youtube
“Hey, why are you going over our grades with us instead of our academic advisors?”
The dean in Necessary Roughness is in the process of shutting down the football program of a major college, which would be a feat slightly more impressive than teleporting the entire school to another dimension. Hell, the dean in Patch Adams has the power to punish Robin Williams merely for being too happy.

Affleck Seems To Think It's Ok To Joke About Harassment Now
But in reality, the power of these administrators isn’t that big of a deal, mostly because there are so. Many. Deans. The title of dean is often honorary, and deanships come with so few actual responsibilities that schools hand them out like particularly easy scout badges to their senior staff members. In plenty of colleges, there are now deans for every silly department. In real life, if a club/frat/sorority was doing dangerous or stupid stuff, they’d probably have to deal directly with a faculty advisor, who would then probably report to some kind of designated disciplinary group, who would probably then report to some other board. Even worse, there are real deans out there who hate that they’re now deans instead of professors, because they’re totally unable to do anything they wanted to. The red tape they thought a dean could clip had more red tape behind it. So sure, don’t fuck around with a dean, but mostly because they’re likely miserable enough already.

These Days, Everybody Can Get Into College
According to Hollywood, the first major hurdle a college kid faces happens long before their first keg stand: admission. Waiting on the envelopes that decide your future can be so nerve-wracking! The tension! The drama! The disappointments and triumphs! Of course, it wouldn’t be as dramatic if those kids could simply turn to one of a hundred other colleges that are sure to accept them — which is exactly what they can do in reality.
Getting into college has literally never been easier in the entire history of higher education. By some estimates, there are up to 44 percent more seats available for every student who wants to go to college in the United States. Sure, it’s still a total crapshoot to get into prestigious universities like Harvard or Yale. But that pretty decent college two blocks down from your favorite Burger King? Walk in with a credit card, and you get as much learning as your brain can handle.
So consider the lead in Accepted, who, thanks to his straight-C average, is unable to get in anywhere, and thus constructs an entire fake school in order to fool his parents — a ruse which includes completely renovating an abandoned hospital(!!). The movie is set in Ohio, which has a number of schools that would probably happily take our poor hero. For example, there’s the nearby University of Akron, which has a 97 percent acceptance rate.
Universal Pictures Which is even more shocking when you consider that 5 percent of all applications are nothing but feces smeared on the form.
Glee is another show set in Ohio that bafflingly overlooks this. At one point, state-championship-winning quarterback and glee club leader Finn has a chance to play a football game in front of a scout from Ohio State, but his chances of wooing the school fall through when the scout ends up much more enamored of another player. So instead of accepting an almost guaranteed spot at a large number of Mid American Conference schools (or even Division II or III colleges in Ohio, including football powerhouse Mount Union), Finn gives up on the idea of college altogether and joins the Army, where he poetically winds up shooting himself in the foot.
youtube
Pfft, name one current pro player who went to a MAC school besides those 74.

A Fancypants Letter Of Recommendation Doesn’t Mean A Damn Thing
When it comes to letters of recommendation, Hollywood seems to think that colleges have the same mentality as a street gang — the only way you get in is if someone cool vouches for you (also, if you want to get into Harvard, you need to kill a snitch while the dean of admissions watches). A letter of recommendation is a guaranteed way to stand out from all the other applicants. Unfortunately, because Hollywood has convinced everyone it’s so important, it no longer is.
Partially as a result of too many misleading TV plots, the recommendation letter market has become completely saturated. Many colleges now receive thousands of letters a year. It’s nuts. This is especially the case for the Ivy League, where every other kid’s dad is golf buddies with someone in the Fortune 500. In 2017, a former Dartmouth admissions counselor admitted that even letters of recommendation from former presidents and olympians all blur together after a while. In fact, the one that’s made the most difference was from a school custodian whom a student had become friends with.
So why does Hannah Montana’s older brother Jackson feel the need to slave away for his next-door neighbor? He wants a recommendation letter, and ends up giving his neighbor massages and pedicures and doing his laundry. Even their dad gets dragged into it, forced to go on a date with the neighbor’s obnoxious sister. In the end, Jackson rips up the recommendation letter, which in reality would alter his chances of getting in about as much as ripping up the college janitor’s second napkin while he’s eating at Quizno’s.
And it’s not like Hollywood writers seem unaware of how pointless these letters are, given how often they let their characters fuck them up to make a point. When Doogie Howser has to write a recommendation letter for his best friend Vinnie, he winds up screwing him over by badmouthing his achievements. This doesn’t (as Hollywood tells us) destroy their friendship and Vinnie’s future, but happily teaches Dougie a lesson in friendship. Meanwhile, Me And Earl And The Dying Girl ends with the titular dying girl posthumously explaining in a recommendation letter to a film school why the titular “Me” had missed so much school — to hang out with her, a dying girl. If terminally ill people could guilt NYU into accepting C-students, a lot more Make-A-Wish kids would receive bribes to write recommendation letters.

Parents Are Going Back To School Alongside Their Kids, But It Ain’t For Wacky Shenanigans
Yet another hilarious plot device! Dad moves into college with his son, they get closer than they thought they would, and hilarity ensues despite the implication that the “adult” in this situation seemingly has nowhere else to go. Surprisingly, Hollywood kinda gets tidbits correct here and there on this subject — it just completely misses the point of second chance education.
In An Extremely Goofy Movie, our ol’ pal Goofy loses his job and finds out that he needs to go back to college in order to reenter the workforce. Forget about the fact that he was more or less a line worker in a factory; it sets up the entire central conflict that both Goofy and his son Max have a lot of learnin’ to do about each other.
Over in Arrested Development, Michael Bluth chooses to move in with his son George Michael at Cal while attending the University of Phoenix online. The forced close proximity that the duo used to value when living in the attic of the model home has now become a point of tension in their lives.
So the reality is somewhere in between. Parents are now taking more unique routes to further their education, be it part-time evening classes at a local college, or online classes, or even specialized certificate programs. They’re going back to school at higher rates than ever before. What they’re not doing is making much of an attempt to get into wacky shenanigans with their kids. They’re goddamned serious about this education stuff, with plenty of college kids pointing out that their parents are often working harder in classes than they are.
Weirdly enough, a number of parents are going back to school so that they’ll be better equipped to help their kids with homework. Math is hard, guys.

You Can’t Get Randomly Hired As A Professor
Being a college professor must be a sweet gig, right? You work few hours and earn crazy amounts of money, and if you land tenure, you’d have to set a student on fire before you could get fired. So it makes sense that a bunch of smartypants protagonists get to become professors at the end of their stories, retiring from hijinks to inspire the next generation of all-white genius heroes.
This happens to sort-of-alright architect Ted Mosby. After losing his job, as a consolation prize for being stood up at the altar, his love rival pulls a few strings and gets Ted a position teaching architecture at Columbia University. Columbia University. Because he knows a guy who knows a guy. We’re not even entirely sure Ted has more than a bachelor’s degree.
In the penultimate episode of Girls, after fans have spent an entire season worrying about her future, Hannah gets also gets this last-minute parachute thrown at her. Thanks to her being a “hot shot” writer, a cool upstate New York college has offered Hannah a job teaching “the internet” to kids who were probably contributing to BuzzFeed before she even figured out how to pick another background for her WordPress blog. Still, the job is steady (with benefits, she proudly exclaims), and will allow her to amply provide for herself and her newborn infant. We know people want their characters to get happy endings, but this is about as believable as Hannah becoming god empress of Mars because the head of NASA liked one of her tweets.
In real life, random goobers have a precisely zero percent chance of being given a steady gig teaching college. Becoming a professor is a difficult and costly process. Almost every position in academia goes to PhD graduates who have spent their entire education desperately trying to make sure they’d never have to look for a job in the real world. And if their discipline is in the humanities (as it is with writer Hannah and architect Ted), even a doctorate only gives these nerds about a 50/50 chance of landing a job in academia.
But even taking into account sitcom characters’ leprechaun levels of luck, wanting to get into teaching college isn’t that good of a career move. Starting professors make little over poverty wages, get no health benefits, and their job longevity is worse than that of a Bond villain. There’s no stumbling into that bad a deal; you have to be really committed to not wanting to become a Starbucks barista.
Isaac is still way too proud of his college degree. Follow him on Twitter.
You probably think we’re going to just link to that college sweater from Animal House and we just did, BUT you could really use a 6-pack of air freshener if you’re in a dorm. Thank us later!

Re: the "More engine-ey names" post, I've seen a couple of AUs where the engines are named after various historical figures - e.g. in Railway Mania's 'Sudrian Histories' project Gordon is "Duke of Gordon," Henry is "Col. Henry Regaby," and so on.
I kinda like the idea that a lot of the engines have names like that that they don't use. Maybe for a lot of them it's like how a parent only uses a child's full name when they're in trouble? Although the problem with Gordon being 'Duke of Gordon' is that Gordon of all engines would surely have been insufferable about it for years.
Perhaps it's an NWR thing, inherited from the various precursor railways, to not give their engines ostentatious names, especially as only more prestigious engines are likely to get them on other railways while others may be only referred to by their number or a 'nickname,' because the NWR is trying to avoid the nasty class divides that can occur elsewhere.
Thomas, Percy, and possibly Edward if he was named by TFC and not by the F.R, might just have their names, while Gordon and Henry have more officious names even if they were just prototypes / sketchy bootleg engines. Henry's builders may have been idiots / didn't care about him, but I imagine they might have given him an officious name as part of trying to pass him off as a serious express engine. James and 7-11 I'm not sure about. Like, would their original railways have given any of them fancypants high-class engine names, or are they likely to have just had a number and a personal name bestowed by their crews? (and in Duck's case possibly a second nickname that he ended up preferring)
And then Mavis and Bill and Ben seem likely to only have their normal names because what quarry is naming their industrial shunter "Prince William of Gloucester" or whatever? And the various B.R. diesels seem likely to have only gotten numbers and possibly nicknames given the canonical use of numbers and Bear being given his name on the NWR.
(With the exception of Diesel 10, who has to have an official 'engine-y' name that nobody uses)
