Hecke Algebra
No seriously. That’s what this post is about. I hope this will be the first liveblooging of a math doctoral defense. And you hope it will be the last. If he says something I can comprehend I’ll pass it along. Otherwise, I’ll just talk about his clothes.
UPDATE, BY OLLY: Clearly, I failed to reach my audience.
Either way, It Is Done. I am now going to the bar, where I am going to continually insist on being referred to as “Doctor” until someone punches me.

Consider this an internet punching! Congratulations, my friend.

I want to have a conversation that consists entirely of
“Ah, Dr Stuttle” *nod*
“Dr Ruff” *nod*
“Dr Stuttle” *etc*

You guys are fucking dorks. Your magazines quality has gone to shit lately. That Hate issue was the worst I’ve ever read. I used to come around and check out the blog from time to time to find something mildly entertaining in the form of these comments.. but now it’s just idiots talking about an “internet punching.” I honestly think the last funny thing I read here was from some guy that you dolts chased off in an internet elitist sort of way.
Funny, the most talented person that has been here all year probably wouldn’t touch your magazine if his life depended on it.

Oh shit that’s funny. You left out his stint as the Easter Bunny for the Prineville Chamber of Commerce. Pickle picker, caterer, Easter Bunny, and soon a sketchy real estate huckster; an illustrious career path to say the least. The next time I’m feeling bad about my occupational track, I’m going to look at that website. My therapist thanks you Justin.

I’d like to personally thank Seth for making our comments section entertaining again.
