Ugly Woman


Parody Song Title:
"Ugly Woman"
Parody Written by:

Joseph Hayes
Ugly woman, with her ugly feet

Ugly woman, please don't take that empty seat

Ugly womanI don't believe you, let me tell the truth

No one could look as ugly as you do

Ugly woman, there's no lard on me

Ugly woman, I couldn't help but see

That you look fat as you can be

Ugly woman, why did you sit down beside of me

Mercy

Ugly woman, won't you go away

Ugly woman, tell me you cannot stay

Ugly woman, can't you find yourself another guy

Ugly woman, nay, nay, nay

Mercy

Ugly woman, look the other way

Ugly woman, there is nothing more to say

'Cause I don't need you, I can't treat you right

Ugly woman, you'll not be mine tonight

Mercy

Ugly woman, please just walk away,heyok

Did you hear what I had to say

I guess I'll go on home, it's late

Find yourself another date

wait

What do I see

I hope I don't see what I think I see

My God, she's walking back toward me

Mercy

Oh, oh, ugly woman

Halloween Fun!

Alright people, you asked for it, our first dress up day. To make it easy, this Wednesday, aka Halloween, everyone in class should wear either black or orange. Add to it with small costume pieces like devil horns or cat ears, if you so choose. But get into the spirit! Babson may try to take Halloween away from us, but they can't!
To add to the mischief, why not go Trick or Treating? BCAP room 254 has candy for anyone willing to "Trick or Treat" and hopefully other BCAP rooms will join in too. Round up your BCAP members, buy some candy, and get an awesome sugar rush prior to studying!
Happy Halloween!

Chuck Norris Chooses President!

October 22, 2007

Will Norris' star power help Huckabee?

WASHINGTON (CNN) — It could be the latest so-called Chuck Norris fact: The American people don't choose presidents, Chuck Norris does.

The cult hero of "Walker Texas Ranger" fame said Monday he's backing Republican Mike Huckabee for president.

"Though Giuliani might be savvy enough to lead people, Fred Thompson wise enough to wade through the tides of politics, McCain tough enough to fight terrorism and Romney business-minded enough to grow our economy, I believe the only one who has all of the characteristics to lead America forward into the future is ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee," Norris wrote on the conservative Web site World Net Daily.

"Mike is also a respected and fearless leader, and he does not cower to the cries of any majority or minority," Norris added. "He doesn't abandon his values for what's expedient. Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs."

Huckabee's campaign has not responded to a request for comment

What 500K Will Get You

THIS APPEARED ON CRAIG'S LIST

What am I doing wrong?

Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I'm articulate and classy.I'm not from New York. I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don't think I'm overreaching at all.

Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around 200 - 250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won't get me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she's not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level?

Here are my questions specifically:-

Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars, restaurants, gyms

-What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won't hurt my feelings

-Is there an age range I should be targeting (I'm 25)?

- Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the upper east side so plain? I've seen really 'plain jane' boring types who have nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I've seen drop dead gorgeous girls in singles bars in the east village. What's the story there?

- Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - lawyer, investment banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do they hang out? Where do the hedge fund guys hang out?

- How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for MARRIAGE ONLY

Please hold your insults - I'm putting myself out there in an honest way. Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I'm being up front about it. I wouldn't be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn't able to match them - in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a nice home and hearth.

THE ANSWER
Dear Pers-431649184:

I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament.Firstly, I'm not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here's how I see it.

Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a crappy business deal. Here's why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here's the rub, your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity...in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won't be getting any more beautiful!

So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation accelerates! Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you!

So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a buy and hold...hence the rub...marriage. It doesn't make good business sense to "buy you" (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease. In case you think I'm being cruel, I would say the following. If my money were to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out. It's as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage.

Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So, I wonder why a girl as "articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful"as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard to believe that if you are as gorgeous as you say you are that the $500K hasn't found you, if not only for a tryout.

By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then we wouldn't need to have this difficult conversation.

With all that said, I must say you're going about it the right way.
Classic "pump and dump."
I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of lease,

let me know.________________________________________

Checker Bored

Word-Of-The-Day Rules

The new rules of the game are the following:

1) 15 points = the person who uses the word first

2) 10 points = the person who uses the word in the most unique context

3) 8 points = if the professor also says the word

4) 5 points = if you use the word with a Chuck Norris comment

5) 5 points = if you use the word with a "One time......at Techmark" comment

6) The game can be won instantly by having Professor Ali use the word but not simply as a means of repeating what you said. Professor Ali must use the word in a example or conversational context.

7) You do not receive points for the amount of times you say the word when making a comment. The first time you say the word in the context of your choosing is all that counts.

8) Same rule as #7 for the professor using the word. Repetition of the word by the professor does not acquire more points. Only the first time the professor says the word.

9) In order to control things getting out of hand and not distracting from the learning, please use your discretion with the game. We want to have fun but not impede the learning process. This is a tough aspect to control, but use your best judgement to decipher when things might be getting out of hand and we are detracting from why we are paying loads of money to learn.

10) I will do my best to be judge and keep track of things that are said. However, it is certain that I will miss some exchanges or words and contexts here and there. Hey, I day dream too. Therefore, if you also wish to keep track of the points tally, please do and make a blog post with that you believe the total score at the end of the day is.

11) Please make all post and comments related to these games on this blog and refrain from spamming email.
