(They probably don't even know what it means!)* BrownMasterV abruptly ends rant.Yeah, lately I've been seeing a lot of those Cambridge affiliated, supposedly "elite" schools here. Fuck elite, they're just a poor excuse to demand big cash for mediocre education.

Oh, you hate your job? There's a club for that -- it's called everyone. We meet at the bar.

Plus, I went to a school with a person named Dollar. Oh the horror...
