    Top longest things posted in the Kelley thread:

    1) 16,689 words - Northwest's post of a chapter in a book. Northwest said something about a Stanford guy, but the thing says he teaches at IUPUI. I'm about 500 words in, but it's basically unreadable. Every sentence is footnoted at least once. Is this what reading academic history is like? Where's Solon?

    2) 9,321 words - The Kate Kelley brief.

    3) 7,354 words - Church=Gospel article posted (twice) by LA. I'm about 2,000 words in. Great article so far. Makes me feel guilty about my home teaching.

    4) 2,938 words - Wikipedia article on Junia, posted by me. I did not read all 3,000 words.

    5) 2,214 words - News story posted by Diehard about a guy in a broadway show. I haven't made it to this one yet.
    Too long; didn't read.

    Whoops. Well, I hope everyone enjoys it twice as much.

    Top 5 worst fast food chains-

    1- Burger King- Once a year I give it another try. I always regret it.
    2- tie- Taco Bell, Del Taco- Don't stray too far from a bathroom after eating at either
    3- Arby's- Taste isn't bad, but expect to feel bloated and lethargic for hours after
    4- McDonalds- Trying too hard to be hip, food still sucks
    5- Little Ceasars- Just awful pizza, weak sauce, sparse cheese and toppings. May vary depending on location

    Top 5 Best 5 Fast Food chain (best being a relative term)

    1- Carl's Jr- Many may disagree, but the Western Bacon Cheeseburger and fries put this at the top for me
    2- Dairy Queen- Personal bias, I know the owners of our local DQ and two grandaughters work there. But the food also never disappoints.
    3- In n'Out Burger- Fresh ingredients, well-done fries. Their employees freak me out, seem brainwashed to always smile
    4- Subway- Fresh ingredients, not the best, but unlimited options make it hard to come away disappointed
    5- Crown Burger- I can only eat here once in a while, and it is SLC only, but the burgers and onion rings are great

    Top 5 Bald Man Haircuts

    5. Combover - this is a non-threatening man to not be trusted or considered, he is trying to hide something and badly.

    4. Don't care anymore - typically long, sticking up in the air also known as The Mad Scientist

    3. Finger Length - attempting to fit into society the best he can, if accompanied with a mustache he is a mass murderer among your congregation a la BTK.

    2. Close trim - wants the look of #1 but lacks the conviction. Shouldn't be trusted to not try to take your job, particularly if they wear colored button down shirts and suits.

    1. Shaved head - Bull Shannon was ahead of his time. Impossible to not look like a criminal, shaving your head daily requires conviction, this man is better at everything than you.

    Top 5 wardrobe mistakes in a professional environment:

    5. Spandex.

    4. Dress shirt, open collar, undershirt visible. There's a reason it is called underwear. We don't want to see it.

    3. Vans. Really?

    2. Shirt tail out. Try not to look like you work in the mail room. (Our mail room guys dress neatly.)

    1. Shirt tail out with jeans and vans. Try not to look like an idiot.

    I can (and do) let a lot go. I'm just goofing around here. Still, I've heard about those Orange County surfer boy law firms. I'm not surprised.
