Should I skip class tomorrow to see Chelsea Clinton?

[Izulde]

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 :D).

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

[Lorena]

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

[Young Drachma]

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

[path12]

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

[mckerney]

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

[duff88]

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

[NoMyths]

1) It's your future, not hers.

2) GObama

[Groundhog]

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

[Jas_lov]

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

[Pumpy Tudors]

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

[Cringer]

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.

[Lathum]

I see you have braces, I have braces too

[M GO BLUE!!!]

Wear your robe and wizard hat...

[Karlifornia]

I see you have braces, I have braces too

Butthead!

[Swaggs]

I see you have braces, I have braces too

Well done!

[JonInMiddleGA]

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]

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]

I'd probably skip both.

[-apoc-]

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

[Pumpy Tudors]

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]

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

[Pumpy Tudors]

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

[Logan]

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]

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

[Izulde]

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.

[Pumpy Tudors]

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

What the hell is going on here?

[RendeR]

Seriously, if yer not fucking this girl whats the point? go to class, leave the petty politicking tramp to her silly media stops. Don't waste your time.

[Dr. Sak]

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

And the Devils fan just sits back and watches...now we just need a Pens fan to come in whining and faking a fall.

[rkmsuf]

And you can still yank it to her later.

[albionmoonlight]

Some girl will say "Vote for my mom."

That isn't really a big deal at all. Like, at all. It's not like Bo and Luke Duke are coming to campus or something.

[Pumpy Tudors]

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.

[Izulde]

*puts on his best hoodie, black jeans, and his pimp hat before striding out into the blizzard*

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

[Coffee Warlord]

"Secret Service intercepts potential threat to Chelsea."

On CNN in ... 2 hours.

[Dr. Sak]

I hope he shaved his beard

[Coffee Warlord]

I hope he shaved his beard

I hope she shaved hers, too.

[Galaril]

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

:D

[Mustang]

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.

[Galaril]

I hope she shaved hers, too.

Oh my.

[wade moore]

So really this wasn't a poll so much as your chance to play your character some more?

[Logan]

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

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]

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

[Pumpy Tudors]

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.

[Desnudo]

Shouldn't this thread really be titled: "Hey everyone, I'm taking a class - U.S. Multicultural Lit. We're discussing the first 100 pages of D'arcy McNickle's Wind Beneath an Enemy Sky."

[Izulde]

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. :D

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

[ThunderingHERD]

details, girlfriend!

[Young Drachma]

She looks a lot like her parents...

[Dr. Sak]

I bet she has a mouth like a vacuum though..

Lemme guess, you work for MSNBC?

[Izulde]

It was much the same format as the Madison visit, where she fielded questions about her mother's campaign, etc.

I found her quite polished and accomplished, far more than I expected with an incredibly strong understanding of the issues. She had a personal touch and sweetness that went over extremely well with the audience here, which was evenly split between campus staff, students and elderly townies.

One thing that surprised me was just how lax the security was. Just two police officers who did nothing about crowd control. No Secret Service around and no sorts of screenings at all.

To me, she spoke extremely well, with a poise and confidence that was both genuine and refreshing. Is she a firestorm type, able to electrify a crowd? No. But her honesty and earnestness make a terrific tandem with her intelligence and awareness, at least at this particular forum.

She's much prettier in person than in pictures and I'll admit I grinned a bit when she pointed me out after I raised my hand to ask a question and said, "You... the gentleman in the hat."

There were a couple questions, mostly related to her mom's plans for addressing privacy concerns and Hillary's stance on medical marijuana where she skirted the issue without really answering the question as asked, but for the most part, she was very articulate and gave in-depth, expansive answers that showed a pleasing understanding of all facets of the issue raised.

I wound up leaving after an hour, because I had to get to Statistics and while I could justify skipping U.S. Multicultural Lit, I couldn't do the same for Stats, but my overall impression is that she did superbly here and likely converted quite a few people in the standing-room only crowd to voting for her mother in next Tuesday's primary.

[Young Drachma]

Secret Service doesn't protect Chelsea anymore. Or if they are, it's only for this election. Bill is a former President and they stop protecting children and grandchildren of former Presidents after age 16. GWB won't even get Secret Service protection 10 years past his term, based on a new law that passed in 1997 that made Bill the last CinC to get lifetime protection from the Secret Service.

[CamEdwards]

So what question did you ask?

[Pumpy Tudors]

welp i'll be voting for chelsea clinton this year

wait wtf do you mean she's not running

[albionmoonlight]

It was much the same format as the Madison visit, where she fielded questions about her mother's campaign, etc.

I guess it would have thrown people for a loop had she not addressed that.

"Thank you all for coming out. I'm here today to discuss whether the promotion/relegation system used in European club sports can be made economically feasable in the United States."

[Lorena]

welp i'll be voting for chelsea clinton this year

hay man, what about your cousin Tanya?

[lordscarlet]

Er.. is the quesiton whether to go to class or to see Clinton? I chose "no" thinking it was whether to go see Chelsea.

[Pumpy Tudors]

hay man, what about your cousin Tanya?
What? That bitch Tanya? I wouldn't skip getting my own nuts cut off to see her. I hate her.

Ask me again next week after we kiss and make up.

[Mustang]

She's much prettier in person than in pictures and I'll admit I grinned a bit when she pointed me out after I raised my hand to ask a question and said, "You... the gentleman in the hat."

Did you ask what her stance on Avatars is?

[Pumpy Tudors]

Did you ask what her mother's stance on avatars is?

[Young Drachma]

I guess it would have thrown people for a loop had she not addressed that.

"Thank you all for coming out. I'm here today to discuss whether the promotion/relegation system used in European club sports can be made economically feasable in the United States."

Maybe not. Half of the people there were just there to check her out. Sorta like going to see Britney Spears or Miley Ray Cyrus. But political junkies instead of teenage girls.

[Raiders Army]

I'd skip class but not see her. That being said, if it was McCain's daughter...

I wasn't aware. Thanks for the info.

BTW, did you go to GHB's visit to UWyo while I was there? I did.

[Lathum]

PixPlz.K.Thx

[st.cronin]

I would not skip class to see Chelsea Clinton. I would tell my prof I was skipping class to see Chelsea Clinton, and then I would go take a nap.

oh my god she talks in really long sentences and she never uses punctuation she just joins her thoughts with the words "and" or "so" and so it's really exhausting to listen to her speak and she's really young to be john mccain's daughter so I want to to sex with her.

[rkmsuf]

The funny thing about the Secret Service is that they are secret. That's why you didn't see them.
