You received a “C”. And for that… you die!

The crank caller is still at it. But apparently she’s just telling our switchboard operator that the school is “evil”. Umm, ok. Sure. Whatever.


Dr. Evil: Guest Lecturer for "How Not to be a Frickin' Idiot, Ok?"


But that got me to thinking about what programs we’d offer if we were an “Evil Technical College”, who and what our students would be and the campus itself. Then all that led me to thinking about a cheaply made television commercial promoting the school and its programs. And a lot of laughing.

Wow. That was a lot more than I thought I was gonna do about my little laugh at being an “evil” school. But once I got started, I just couldn’t stop. Oh well, it amused me at least.
