To all you doubting naysayers who thought I'd never finish---
BITE ME!
To all the OTHER naysayers who said........if I DID finish..... it'd only
be by the skin of my watertight ass-----YOU can bite me too!
(((((I not only graduated----I made Valeduckturtlian !!! )))))))
Now ALL OF YOU have to SIT THERE and LISTEN to my Valeduckturlian
speech....which.....if you've been around SR long enough to know----will
be an epic battle between the merely deadly dull---
----and the excruciatingly dull....
(dumb and dumber, if you will).
Nawwwwwww. Vale's spirit duck whispers in his ear...."Vale, haven't they
suffered enough in 25 months?" ....a sentiment to which Vale (reluctantly) had to
agree.
It was a profound, touching, and moving speech-----which by only the most focused
and severe slash and burn editing was whittled down to a mere 4 hours and 58 minutes.
Was there ever in all the history of the world a more relieved graduating class?
Silently, they thanked the Gods in charge of lining up Valeduckturtlians and hiring hack
graduation speakers (whose honoraria usually ends up being the only thing even more
insulting than the irretrievable time lost pretending to listen!).
But what of Vale's graduation speech, you say? Well, as all reasonable persons
know--life in the end always (and I DO mean always!) yields to practical concerns. Don't
shoot me---I'm just the messenger! I wasn't the party responsible for leasing 25 porta-potties
for an event who then FORGET TO CHECK said units FOR TOILET PAPER!
Seriously. Have you EVER tried to take care of business with glossy magazine
paper? It just doesn't work! Thankfully, at 4 hours and 58 minutes (double spaced).....
........well,suffice to say that Vale's commencement/graduation speech was adequate
...where it counted most.
(as the years went by, fewer and fewer asked the thorny question of whether Vale
truly HAD the credits to graduate. I mean honestly, who takes differential equations
THREE times to earn a D+? Of lesser (but still troubling) concern were purported
comments attributed to unnamed high academic officials to the effect of "how the hell
else were we supposed to get rid of him?")
