But I was wondering if after becoming a doctor whether when we contact you will you tell us to put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning?
I'm always still in trouble again

Also I'm pretty sure the rule is that you can only call yourself a doctor in casual conversation for a month after graduating without looking anachronistically pompous.
Unless you bought your doctorate, in which case put it everywhere. (talking of which, NatSci is looking surprisingly bare.)

I tried to tell chrs how useless it was to try to have an actual conversation with CP, but nooooooo he had to go and type up a big essay first.
As an aside of my own, I think that modern social justice theory-- all this stuff about privilege and structural problems, etc.-- provides us with about as good an argument as we could possibly ask for with respect to the fact of original sin and concupiscence. Which is another way of saying, Chrs is right, but he could be even right-er.Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.

For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom
