Should I skip class tomorrow to see Chelsea Clinton?

Izulde · 02-11-2008, 10:19 PM

I'd be forfeiting a 15 point perfect attendance bonus for the class and it's U.S. Multicultural Lit. We're discussing the first 100 pages of D'arcy McNickle's Wind Beneath an Enemy Sky and it's the first real literary class discussion we'll be having (the class up to this point has been solely background on the Native American/European-American interactions of the 19th and 20th centuries).

It isn't a hard class by any means, just a 200-level Gen Ed course, so it's not like it's OMG i r going 2 fail if I miss a class, but I do kind of hate to lose the 15 point bonus and it's always useful to be there for the first real discussion to see how the prof directs it and what his alleged biases are (and indeed, this certainly seems to be one of those outwardly agenda type profs).

But on the other hand, I enjoy celeb visits and I can see what Chelsea's like in person (as much as a publically moderated, obviously-campaigning-for-her-mum Chelsea can be herself in person

).

I'll probably go, because I'll not get a chance like this again. I was just curious to see what FOFC thought.

Lorena · 02-11-2008, 10:25 PM

She's gonna be completely surrounded and you probably won't get a chance to see her at all.

Young Drachma · 02-11-2008, 10:33 PM

Go to class, it's not Hillary. It's Chelsea. You could get a gauge of her "personality" on YouTube.

path12 · 02-11-2008, 10:34 PM

Be sure and brush up on the pickup line thread first.

mckerney · 02-11-2008, 10:35 PM

If you're going to skip class make sure it's for a good reason like drinking.

duff88 · 02-11-2008, 10:37 PM

Way to ask a confusing question... Should you go where, to class or to see Chelsea Clinton?

NoMyths · 02-11-2008, 10:39 PM

1) It's your future, not hers.

2) GObama

Groundhog · 02-11-2008, 10:41 PM

I wouldn't skip taking the trash out to see Chelsea Clinton.

Jas_lov · 02-11-2008, 10:43 PM

Absolutely you should skip. I heard Bill and Hillary are pimping her out.

Pumpy Tudors · 02-11-2008, 11:03 PM

So what exactly is Chelsea Clinton going to do? Sing? Strip? Juggle?

All of those at the same time and I will drive across country to see it.

JonInMiddleGA · 02-11-2008, 11:30 PM

15 bonus points or some C-list pseudo-celeb?

Sorry, but if this is even a question for you then I'm once again reassured that the world has truly gone completely mad.

And I'm talking Charleston Heston here

illinifan999 · 02-12-2008, 05:12 AM

Come on I got shit for asking if I should skip a couple of classes for a keg on a wednesday morning, and it didn't cost me any points. This is a no brainer. Except sub chelsea for beer.

CraigSca · 02-12-2008, 05:39 AM

I'd probably skip both.

-apoc- · 02-12-2008, 07:46 AM

15 points is pretty major, if it was Hillary or Bill I could see the reason for going but not for Chelsea.

I can't even see the reason then. What? You want to see Hillary or Bill sing, strip, and juggle? You are a sick man.

what better, class or checking out the ass of the guy standing in front of me in the crowd

Dr. Sak · 02-12-2008, 07:54 AM

I'd skip class if i got to see her Bush

Pumpy Tudors · 02-12-2008, 07:55 AM

Finally, somebody gets the right answer, but it had to be the freakin' Flyers fan.

Logan · 02-12-2008, 08:01 AM

So you would skip class and be down to see her standing around by herself, but you wouldn't be interested in her making out with some chick?

rkmsuf · 02-12-2008, 08:42 AM

Do you get to give her a good rogering from behind?

Izulde · 02-12-2008, 08:48 AM

Still debating on this.

What I may do is stop by there after my first class and if it doesn't look worth attending, then I'll go ahead and go to my second class.

If it does look worth going to, then I'll cut.

And now a Rangers fan comes up with a perfect response.

What the hell is going on here?

LOL. I'm just waiting for an opening so I can go for a 2-1 victory.

I'd make a joke for the Islanders fans, but the only ones I could find were busy sucking Mike Bossy's dick and hoping he could make a miraculous comeback.

I'll update again with what went down later this afternoon.

"Secret Service intercepts potential threat to Chelsea."

You actually get a bonus for perfect attendance? In college?

The professor give out gold stars, smiley faces and orange slices too?

As for missing class for Chelsea? I wouldn't even bother getting out of line at the grocery store to see her.

If Lou Lamariello was in on this thread, he would be making the case for why Izulde doesn't deserve his 15 points despite his perfect attendance, exemplary performance in class, and contribution to a great classroom environment.

And I thought the Islander fans were stuck debating who got the better end of the Yashin for Spezza/Chara deal?

rkmsuf · 02-12-2008, 10:07 AM

If I was a college professor I'd be hoping they wouldn't show up.

Pumpy Tudors · 02-12-2008, 10:14 AM

My wife once skipped class (well, she left class early) because she wanted to go to a hockey game and get a bobblehead there.

She is a college professor, and this happened last week. Hey, don't tell any of her students why she ended class early, OK? I'm just sharing this with you people.

It's a blowoff Gen Ed course and it's the only college course I've ever taken that gives a bonus for perfect attendance.

Which I forfeited today.

I'll post more later, but I've got to run to Stats now... but let me just say, Chelsea was dynamite.
