Now, I am having the mostestest of enlightenments, humorings and such of late with the postings here and I particularly liked the translatings of Homer and since we got on the subject of Aggie jokes and the ensuing etceteras I am now having thinkings that I should tell you about my recent talk to the high school students here at Bad Corner Regional at the annual "Career Day" so when I got the invitings to do this I was really, really, really lost on what to talk about as I don't have the thinkings that anyone really considers valve oil manufacturing a true career (but it is a wonderful, though sometimes messy, sideline job) so I had to really put on the thinking cap and after having made the wearings of it for two-weeks-solid, it hit me like a clammed high A in the last phrase of Kopprasch No. 1 so here is what I said to the students: "Work hard! Be smart! Use your brains! Otherwise, you might get stuck in music school!" Kindestest of Greetonings and Mostestest of Cognitationings, Prof. I. M.
