I know someone famous...

I'm not sure how many of you have heard of her, but she is quite famous in the Toronto academic circuit.
Ms. JILL RUDY
She was a good friend of mine in university and has recently been given two honorary ph.d.'s from both U of T and UBC. Congratulations Jill! you escaped the lethargic academia that was Brantford.
Apparently, Jill wrote an interesting thesis on the comparative effects of lobby art in lawyers's offices. I know, bizarre and obscure, you're thinking, almost silly. but it was interesting enough for both those universities to want to get their hands on it. So, now she can head back to Laurier Brantford with her head held high and throw skittles into Dr. Groarke's office. And, i'm sure she will.
She will of course be accompanied by Sean Quin and Kirby. Sean, not having received any honorary ph.d.'s, but having writen an interesting thesis nonetheless. His empirical analysis of African tree art and the bipolar behaviour that many artist of such have exhibitied (get it? exhibited?) is gaining noteriety. i doff my hat too you also Sean.
Have fun you three. throw some skittles for me.

    who wouldn't throw skittles at dr. groarke for kicks. or kick him for skittles, for that matter? the man is a disgrace to all things intellectual. i have no doubt that karmic forces will one day catch up with him. hopefully to leave him crying in a corner soiling himself.

    Ms. Rudy is too famous to respond at this time. She thanks you for your tribute. At this present time, she will be accepting calls at her home office in Toronto.

    Thank you again,

    J. Jones-Assistant to Dr. Jill Rudy
