  • But Edward Galligan, ohmyfreakingod. he made me insane, thought i wasn't even going to graduate. he was like a cross between boris karloff and abe vigoda, wearing a dark suit and carrying a briefcase which i don't think he even opened, and he would just chainsmoke and go off on these bizarre, long winded meandering lectures on aristotle and plato and the meaning of life like he was taking you on some strange absynthe trip. and then after hearing this and making zero sense of it i'd have to go try to read the nichomachean ethics without slitting my wrists and write a 20 page paper on it. my paper would be totally wrong, and would come back littered with nasty notes such as "put your spitballs back in your bag". in retrospect it's really pretty funny, but at the time i literally hid in the bushes when i saw him coming. ok, that is all, good luck with the show.
