I don't know, the dialogue here reminded me of Gilmore Girls.  |
Interesting bump, now that we know who Prunetacos was.

i thought the very same thing this morning mc. even took the time to see what over threads he posted in. it also brought back to my mind the experience i had with someone i personally met and knew who also did something that made the papers. one just never knows who or what you are dealing with; on line or in person.

The facination with KKG reminded me of the Anthrax guy, but I doubt that is it...

But that would be it. Note this from The Washington Post:
Writing under the name Jimmy Flathead, Ivins was a frequent editor of the KKG Wikipedia page during the past two years, debating online whether certain sorority sisters should be mentioned. In a post on an online forum called GreekChat he wrote in September 2006 that a KKG member was one of "two of the people (yes, they're friends) that I admire most in my life. . . . Both are world-renowned scientists and pioneers in their respective fields." And this post September 3, 2006, by prunetacos:
Dear Carnation: Gee, I hope I can stay! I promise not to say mean things about anybody except non-Greeks, who don't know better anyway. PEOPLE don't bother me. Certain attitudes and behaviors bother me. A few years ago I made a comment about Sally Ride not being in a sorority, and I was told in the firmest of terms that I was completely wrong. I've been trying to find out ever since what she was in. Maybe an honorary? Maybe one devoted to science (like Sigma Xi)? Maybe a service organization? Don't know. What I do know is that I've never found an answer. You can google "Sally Ride" and "sorority" and come up with a list of outstanding Americans - she among them - who are in GLOs.
I've been privately chewed out about "The Urban Legend of Carla Sander." It's not an urban legend, folks. Sorry.
I suppose now I should say that two of the people (yes, they're friends) that I admire most in my life are a KKG and a Chi O. Both are world-renowned scientists and pioneers in their respective fields.

It is frightening reading some of the stuff he wrote back then, but I would have never guessed who he was...
