No, I was being half-sarcastic...just wanted documentation that someone thought I was a "cerebral babe" to hang on my bulletin board at work. In no way do I speak for the Vanderbilt Board of Trust, Chancellor Gee, Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, or any other Vanderbilt-related entity.
You do know that Vandy's colors are black and gold, too? That's about the extent of the similarities between USM and Vandy, though.

Thank you for this distinguished honor, and I am proud to be sharing this award with such prestigious posters. This will hang proudly in my office! In a strange way, thanks to the little man in the Dome who is such a great cerebral babe target. As Mae West observed:
His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork.

And that's exactly how it was first intended, as an honor. I cannot think of three more worthy recipients than LVN, Truth, and Emma. And a post script--don't forget to add this distinction to your respective vitae. It could translate to serious money if and when any of you decide to change employment.
Thank you, thank you. I have been persuaded by wise & worthy friends that I was over-reacting this morning. Note to self: coffee first, then computer. I do appreciate the kindness and consideration involved. Once again my family will be stunned and dubious ("are you sure they meant you?)

Sorry, but until somebody forks over $350K for our new field house, BOGUS is not awarding any honorary degrees to Shelby Thames, Jay Grimes, or Ken Malone!
