26a.  Faster than a speeding bullet
26b.  More powerful than a locomotive
26c.  Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound
26d.  X-ray vision
26e.  Heat vision
26f.   Comes to the interview in tights and a cape

27a.  First Name:  James
27b.  Second Name:  Edward
27c.  Last Name:  Franco


So far, Mouseman wins.  

Heck, if you're Franco you will be promoted right to a cushy low-residency, high-pay, high-profile, highly ironic presidency, not of the uni, but of the entire college town--perks, not just close to the building parking but a chauffeur service, run by a different sorority or fraternity every month.  Plus, as Prez Franco you get to pick a new school mascot.  

Maybe if I get a Franco mask made, that'll help my chances....hopefully my breasts and lack of a degree in hand won't confuse the SC too much.

Franco's TT contract includes a separate parking space for his Japanese body pillow, Kimiko.

Basically the moral of the story is that bcohlan1 is talking out of his ass again.

29. A seminar devoted to your work at an Ivy featuring all sorts of soon-to-retire former future rock stars betting that you're the next version of themselves; your third book in press; and direct contact with dead philosophers and linguists by means of a home-made horcrux, based on several Lacanian diagrams and powered by Heidegger's tears.

30. The ability to simultaneously remind the SC chair, all SC members, the department head, and the dean of younger, idealized versions of themselves.

31. A theoretical orientation that is simultaneously obtuse and awe-inspiring, that did not exist at the time you entered graduate school and is diametrically opposed to the theoretical orientation you actually hold.

A little compassion is better than kicking people when they are down, regardless of who has suffered more and longer or whose bad job market has the biggest dick.
