Notes of a Dirty Old Man

[wickedflea]

I have GOT to remove from my webspace any research papers I've posted. Check out this email I got today.

Subject: Hunter S Thompson
To: cbh8@ra.msstate.edu

Sir...i am a 22 year old comm student at Seton Hall University, i am
attempting to write my senior seminar research paper on Thompson, Kerouac,
Ginsberg, Leary, ect., i need arcticles that researched these men, mostly
thompson, so that i have an arguement to base my own research on...after
reading your article here i was wondering if you had any articles you could
e-mail me that might help me out, i know it is an odd request but i would be
very greatful...if you can help me, please send any articles to
Ferrarda@shu.edu....thank you very much

I didn't even know that HST paper was still on my server. Where exactly does this person think I'd get these articles? Oh yeah, I guess I'm supposed to sort through the MLA bibliography, trudge through the aisles of the library for hours, photocopy the articles, scan them, OCR them, and keep them on my hard drive ready to email to sputtering idiots too lazy to go to the library for their senior research papers. Right.

" i need arcticles that researched these men, mostly
thompson, so that i have an arguement to base my own research on"......... What does it MEAN?!?!!!

And that "sir" shit is completely unnecessary. I don't give a damn if the bitch is 22 years old.

Tell him to read the damn books and draw his own conclusions. Does his mommy chew his food for him, too?

one- i think it's kinda wierd that s/he uses sir and tries to show "respect" or what have you....or tires to be professional, but doesn't bother to worry about grammar, punctuation, clarity, or capital "I"s

but maybe s/he'd be happy with just your bibiliography and s/he could do everything else

but yes, wacky none the less
