Yes.  They batted back-to-back and had to learn to hit some pretty wild
pitches since most pitchers tried to walk them.  Other people who were
on that same team sometimes show up in professional baseball news (which
I don't really follow but notice the names occasionally):  Jeff Brantley,
Bobby Thigpen, and I think some others whose names I've forgotten but
would probably recognize.

            WHAT TO DO IF YOUR BROTHER GETS PRETENTIOUS
     So my kid brother is going to one of these schools, you know
the type(it's not an Ivy, but it kinda thinks it is. Like Stanford
or Johns Hopkins or Rutgers or Cornell).  Anyhow, he's taking a lit
class and he comes up to me the other day and says, "Keith, can you
help me?  I've got to write this term paper.  It's due tomorrow."
     "No prob.  You start the coffee, I'll heat up the crystal
meth. What's it on?"
     "I'm supposed to deconstruct Hamlet."
     "Hamlet deconstructs itself.  Now leave me alone."
     "*I* know that.  *Everyone* knows that.  But the prof won't
accept that as a paper."
     "Bastard."
     "I got some ideas."
     I was afraid of this.  "All right.  What?"
     He took a deep breath.  I cringed.  "Well you know how in
Hamlet everyone is interpreting everything everybody says, you
know, reading each other?"
     I nodded, distracted.
     "And like, Hamlet's madness, even if it appears feigned to
everyone else could be very real to him, right?"
     "So?  You got any herb?"
     "Don't you see, it's a classic appearance/reality--"
     Oh no, if I didn't watch my step here, he'd be trying to work
in Antonioni's 'Blow-up' and Roeg's 'Don't Look Now.'
     He was really breathing hard now.  "Don't you see?  Horatio,
draw thy breath in pain to tell my story.  My story!  Hamlet's
story!! Il n'y a pas dehors du texte.  History exists only as a
function of present discourse!!  Yes yes yes I will yes I do YES!"
    So I sucker-punched him.
    "Thanks."
    "Il ny'a a pas dehors du texte my ass.  Try de la droite."    
"Huh?  Il n'y a pas dehors de la droite."  He stared blankly.    
"Oh, never mind.  You got any other ideas for this here
'deconstruction'?"
     "Well, we can break Hamlet up into 'homme lit'.  'Man reads'. 
Don't you see?  Man reads!  It's all just so like, there."
     "Slow down a second, Piper Cub.  It seems to me that Hamlet
sounds a lot more like 'omelette' than anything. . ."
      His eyes brightened like a schoolgirl at her first dance and
he ran to the kitchen.  "Yes, yes!"
     "Put the eggs in a bowl of water first.  Bring em to room
temperature."
      "Sheesh," he called out.  "I'm not stupid you know."
      True.  He's got two more years to get really stupid.

Since LAGS started as one part of the larger project (no longer officially

can't really see that the use of "Gulf States" for that part of the

	Class of 40 students. 37 interested ones showed up. Pop quiz:
	"Define (scribbles it on the board) DISINTERESTED"
	in 10 words or less.

	Responses ranged from "don't give a fuck" to "lacking interest."
	All 37 indicated interpretation of lack of interest.

That was why I suggested a wording, in case Natalie asked a stupid
question like that.  Fortunately Natalie knows better, but the response
to this question is of even less value than that to mine.

You're not testing their active vocabulary - by just giving one choice
you're liable to drag from their input lexicon the value of the
closely-coupled 'uninterested'.  That's why I suggested you
present both words.

Also that's why I suggested asking who had heard of both first.  If
on seeing both, they haven't heard of disinterested they can no longer
answer the question.  A second independent test should also be done
on *different* students (who haven't had either of these words
primed) asking 'what is another word for 'unbiased'.

Thanks for asking though.

Graham
PS Perhaps Natalie can suggest a better wording.

Well, apart from I understood quiz to mean specifically oral, it was
the most charitable assumption I could make as to why jim's students
were universally ignorant.  That's one place abh & I will not be
sending *our* kids...

So the ethologists take over the well-worn cliche (she liked
Shakespeare, but thought he contained too many cliches) that men
give love for sex and women give sex for love.  Mutate the mucus,
food for love, love for food, and you've got (les) pigs in
blankets.

Know what I mean?

	A function at which she's simply <aces>.
