Oh for goodness sake, Phil Do you sit in front of your screen 24/7 waiting for me to post?

You know, we adopted a dog from the Humane Society last year and we were curious to find out what breed little Rufus is. So my dad sent away to a company for a doggie DNA identification kit. Turns out Rufus is Poodle, Yellow Lab and Cocker Spaniel. I digress..... Anyway, if you'd like, I'd be happy to buy you one of those kits for your own use. Who knows, maybe you too have a little salt mixed in with the peppa?

Oh, but that would ruin your whole "Angry Black Woman" shtick, wouldn't it? Never mind!

Might one ask why you are bound and determined to torpedo your own recruitment?

Perhaps you have wisely decided not to go through after all; in that case, what could possibly be an explanation for your anger and rudeness? Hurling "insults" and taking a condescending tone while in front of a keyboard speaks volumes re: personality and character.

Or, perhaps you are the troublemaker Buddha taught us to watch for, as a test of our own lovingkindness and mindfulness.

The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.

Sure...it is your world....

It is wonderful that 10 years later you are able to update us that legacy is often money driven and the college admissions process is complex. Can't get anything past you, self-proclaimed UVA PNM.

GC would be even more boring if usernames didn't battle for the last word. I'm more amused that UVA17 thinks there is something shockingly profound about a Black person having white people in the immediate or distant lineage. The average Black person in certain countries does. UVA's family and history classes have failed.

Does that mean you don't want the doggie DNA kit?
