Re: I strongly recommend this applicant

This is hilarious, and I want to see the letters that don't get sent to applicants when you're on the undergrad admissions committee. My god, all those personal statements...

Apparently what I was thinking of is known as a spider trap. How odd.

probably not

i have a much more serious problem

how i can gracefully write or decline to write a review for a book a good friend gave me that is entirely unreadable due to excessive over intellectualizing and a cleverly combative style targeting the very people it's intended to reach architects

thought maybe someone out there in academiana might have some insight

oh also check out my blog http://rohnbayesjourney.typepad.com/my_weblog/ and lambaste my self indulgent overly naive quipings so i can join the true blogger community

I'm not going to bother clicking the link to your blog Rohn, but I'm pretty sure it sucks.

Welcome.

(And though the question wasn't directed to me, I'd decline the book and cite lack of time...)

The "true blogger community" uses punctuation.

My unmentioned Rohn,

As long as you are funny you'll be okay.
