I was at a party a few weeks ago with a number of college profs in attendance and they all confessed to being completely obsessed with their hotness score on Rate My Professor. I notice Hettle's hotness score is 0.
Besides rating teaching ability, you can also indicate whether a professor is hot or not. After you get so many "hot" votes, you get a chili pepper by your name.
Hey FL, what is the meaning of your pseudonym? Because I was reading a bigraphical note on Ivor Cutler today that said he had first recorded on the Fontana label -- Had to read that twice before I realized they were not talking about you. And that made me think, what is Fontana Labs anyways? Since I hate being in the dark I put the question to you.
'Doesn't stop sipping his beverage"? Gross.

This does not count as a new and substantive post.

Who wants to bet that he has a receding hairline and a short gray ponytail?

It would suck to be lectured about things outside the scope of the class by an uncreative, beverage sipper.

And, really, FL, most of the comments are reasonably positive. One wacked-out student does not a bad prof make.
(Is anyone else uncharitably thinking though, that the institutional gravitas of the University! of Northern! Iowa! only balances a corn tassel?)

I wonder if Tripp has anything to say about Iowa?

their hotness score
Their who in the what now?

I know, I'm totally disappointed that he has a pretty good rating. But complaining about cheap shots is like...like...
the pot calling the Hettle black!
Ok, that doesn't make any sense, but I needed a chance to let it fly.

It's like the hack calling the Hettle hot?
Posted by Matt Weiner | Link to this comment | 11-10-05 2:01 PM
Oh, what fresh hell is this. I mean, knowing this, who could possibly resist going to check their own ratings?
Posted by slolernr | Link to this comment | 11-10-05 2:01 PM
Or creating false identities with which to raise one's hotness rating. (So, FL -- hot or not?)

Oh, Lord, I was hating myself enough for wanting to check. I hadn't yet considered that dark depth of the professorial soul.

Leon Kass has a hotness rating of 1, fwiw.

You ern your slols by professing? Sheesh. How many of you are there here?
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 11-10-05 2:07 PM
How many Moldovans or how many professors? Or how many Moldovan professors?

Does being a Professor of Love count?
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 11-10-05 2:09 PM
apo, only if you have a Doctorate. ABD doesn't count.
Posted by mike d | Link to this comment | 11-10-05 2:11 PM
Doesn't having kids prove the practical component of the doctorate?
Posted by Cala | Link to this comment | 11-10-05 2:12 PM
They call me Dr. Love.
I've got the cure you're thinking of.
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 11-10-05 2:14 PM
16: That means one person (out of four) found him hot.
Posted by Matt Weiner | Link to this comment | 11-10-05 2:14 PM
No, if there are kids resulting, then there is no pleasure involved. Thus avoiding the affront to...[pick your jehovah].

Dude, did we crash the RateMyProfessor site? Totally stopped working for me.
Haha.

No it doesn't, Weiner.

Lb, I have 5 hotness points.
You don't need to create fake identities to rate yourself, by the way. I haven't yet stooped to this level, but it's possible.

Totally OT: Josh Marshall just posted "GOP imploding on Capitol Hill. More soon."
I hate that.

...in my pants!

I hate that
The tease, or the implosion?
Posted by slolernr | Link to this comment | 11-10-05 2:23 PM
re 29: I actually ate at a place the other day called "Fontana Subs."
It was ok.
Posted by silvana | Link to this comment | 11-10-05 2:23 PM
If I didn't luv the implosion, I wouldn't hate the tease so.
Posted by Matt Weiner | Link to this comment | 11-10-05 2:25 PM
Well, who could substitute for Fontana?

Huh. I think I now know the name of an institution that FL either is or was at some point associated with.

Duo Fontana. You'll have to guess which one is Labs.

Oh no! A LizardBreath Indiscretion Error!
(I just mistyped as "Lixardbreath". I think there's potential.)

Man, those were the days. Them cats threw some wild parties.

Sorry, I posted it and then thought better of it -- I was just surprised to have gotten a result. Do edit: I would have if I could.

Whoops, I'd forgotten about that. You may want to edit the old thread, too.

There's a shoe store down the street from me called Fontana's. I once bought some shoelaces there.
Posted by teofilo | Link to this comment | 11-10-05 5:45 PM
Well, I'm sure no one will take THAT as encouragement.
Posted by FL | Link to this comment | 11-10-05 9:49 PM
Fontana labs are just like chocolate labs, except they experiment on fontanas instead of on chocolate.
