| I'd like to table a motion for the Prof to be awarded an honorary Order of Peever medal. Many of us can talk the talk, but how many of us are prepared to do battle with the authorities for our peeves? Takes some beating! |

This is all a conspiracy, I can see it clearly now. The government plants these "star bucks" all over the world and supplies them with government cheese and butter.
Next it will be the soy bean, mark my words. Say no before it's too late. |
