Dean out...

Just heard from influential local business exec that one of the Deans is soon to be removed. He was told by higher ups recently. Any news over there?

Thames is unlikely to do any "removing"; he remains on a short leash held by Crofts. At best Thames can hope to make a dean miserable enough to bail out at the first decent opportunity. Given this, the deafening silence in the decanal ranks is surprising. The deans are squandering a golden opportunity to assert what they are alledgedly paid for -- leadership.

If one or more of the deans were about to be removed, it wouldn't surprise me if certain privileged people in the business community were the first to learn about it. Am I having a deja vu experience?

Shhhhh, Jean. Be quiet. Don't awaken them. They're working behind the scenes

is the dean of honors college considered "one of the deans" or is that more of a courtesy title?

A message posted under an alias based on a rumor by an unnamed source? Sounds like we should just pick a name and fill in the blank. This gossip is just too good to pass up.

A comment made by an alias spoken from the moral high ground. Sounds like the rest of us should bow down.

In the interest of completeness, here are the missing lyrics, as I remember them:

"......when they are flecked with brown, and have a golden hue,

bananas taste the best and are the best for you.

You can put them in a salad; you can bake them in a pie.

Anyway you choose to eat them, it's impossible to beat them......"

Tomatoes are much more

Since when does "manana" rhyme with "banana"? You young kids today, I swan.

It's pronounced man-yahna.

And anyway, this thread is giving me a headache.

'Mam, these ain't limricks. They're poetry.

Ok, I get it. We're doing fruit poetry while we wait to see if a dean gets fired or quits tomorrow, or if we find out this yet another evening's entertainment for somebody who just enjoys messing with people. Sorry.

I think they call it "bunkum night!" It's become a fairly regular event.
