need cash for The National

Nice try, Bruce. There are ratings from 12--count 'em, 12--students at ratemy professor.com. In my 22 years of teaching at Skidmore (and ten years at other institutions before that) I have taught (conservative estimate) 3000 students.

I'm sure those 12 are a representative sample!

But, be that as it may. Suppose I am, indeed, the absolute worst physics professor ever.

Does that, in any way, make you less full of shit?

Ok, other than my FBI/Dunkin' Donuts post, this is the post of the day.

If you look at the total population on the UES of NYC, more people actually rent than own. Owning an apartment is not of interest to us.

Why are you so concerned about our financials?

And why do you refuse to address any of the other questions we asked?

We will be at the Yankee game tomorrow (great forecast)- hope DJ gets his two hits as we have other plans for Sunday.

As a professor, you are well aware about the dangers of making assumptions.So when and if you want to present a detailed summary of our collection, all of our other assets, our business transactions for the past twenty years, and you have interviewed our friends and colleagues, we will be happy to the share the results of your research with the Board.

Night night....

Just curious why he doesn't refer to himself as "we" in the video posted on youtube and why he is constantly looking away from the camera?

Bruce, I'm not going to answer your questions, as they are meaningless. I don't have (or want) to know exactly how much you do earn, in order to know how much you don't. And you don't make nearly as much as you pretend to.

You're just as much upper middle class as most of us here. You don't have a thing to do with the "ruling class," as you put it. You never have, and you never will.

You are the person/collector you constantly mock.

People's illnesses really should be off limits.

Although the threads get way too long....when Bruce strikes a chord...the blog pages light up...much like that dude Marshall Noize.... you love um..you hate um...but the threads go on for ever !!

Online personality aside lets give Bruce some slack.

The stuff shown on the video was actually quite nice.
And he used "I".
And actually seemed to be someone who is really into his collection.

And that's all that really should matter about any of us.

Lest you think I'm letting him off entirely....
The comment about the guy at the rangers game was way over the line.

And I've learned some new things about NY!
1) The strip clubs there involve singing. Seems a bit odd, and that's not how it goes sround here, but then NY is more metropolitain than Boston.
2)The trash trucks there burn the trash? Again, it seems odd and wasteful not to bring it to a place that will make some electricity by burning it but NY is the greatest city ever so it must be the way to go.

AND --NYC is less dirty, arrogant and crime ridden than when I was last there?
4 years ago or so it was plenty dirty. But I was only in Brooklyn.
And the people I was helping pick stuff up from insisted on putting the truck in the middle of the narrow street rather than partly in their own driveway I guess it's not arrogant to block the street?
And when I bumped a car and left a note for the owner his neighbors yelled at me.....Not "don't leave the police are coming" But "hey you can't park there" And when on the way out I accidentally hit a street sign while driving around a trash truck that had been abandoned in the middle of an intersection and then drove down a "no trucks" road because it was the most direct route - And nobody called the cops or even yelled anything....

Ok, Not a day of driving I'm at all proud of, but with me staying away I suppose technically NY is less crime ridden.
