Rules of the Game

Welcome back, kittens. Before we go any further, there are some things you should know.

1. This blog is completely ours. It is not sponsored, condemned, condoned, edited, or approved by anyone employed by the University of Alaska Southeast, or the University of Alaska System, which is convenient because it allows us to say whatever we like.

For Example: We are thrilled that our favorite Economics professor has brought technology into the classroom by writing her lecture notes on a PC tablet and then projecting them on a screen. We see things more clearly now and adore the pretty colors of the graphs. However, we miss the days of her turning her back to us to write on the chalkboard. We found watching her work to be an additional incentive to attend beyond the joys of learning about quantities, both supplied and demanded.

2. As we are extremely conscionable, will try our very best not to plagiarize in any way. However, sometimes we just won’t be able to give credit where it is due.

For Example: One of the secret treasures of UAS is the random art found on campus. We are completely wowed by the talent of our fellow students, and plan on regularly sharing our finds with you. However, much of the art we’ve recorded is Artist: Unknown. We shall immediately remedy the situation should any of you lovelies be able to provide us with a name!

3. We were taught at a tender age that there is a rather large difference between telling someone to shut-up and asking them to please be quite (Can you guess which resulted in a tussle on the playground when we were wee little ones?). We aren’t malicious – though we aren’t above objectifying those with the wicked hot trifecta of brains, looks, and personality as per the example in item 1.

Any comments should, at a minimum, reflect an equal level of generosity and grace as our original post.

As an aside, we are not above making up new rules as we go along; a skill handed down by older siblings who firmly believed that, when playing Monopoly, the oldest child should always be the Banker, and that the Banker was entitled to rents due when landing on their own real estate investments.
