Are you a fan of Bloom County?

OK, I'm not sure where I ought to put this thread, so move it if you'd like. You probably know that I am moving; information about it has shown up in various places. Here's the deal: I have a stuffed Opus that is wearing a mortarboard. I've had him for about 18 years, and have schlepped him all over the place. I feel like giving him a nice home. I don't want to take him to a thrift store, and I also don't want to give him to a niece or nephew because they'd probably destroy him, wouldn't really relate to Bloom County, and wouldn't have any connection to the mortarboard, at least not for some 15 years or so. If anyone is interested in this, I would gladly send it off to you.

It would be nice to send him to someone who really likes Bloom County, and even more nice to send him to someone who is graduating soon or has recently graduated, so serious inquiries only pls thx.

Also, nude photos will not aid your cause.

Oh Hell, who am I kidding.

I have always had a soft spot for penguins in trouble, and thus I'm willing to take him in. If it matters, I'm between graduations at the moment -- a year and a half past one, two and a half years from the next -- or could pass him along to my father, who recently got his Ph.D.

I already have more plush animals than I ever thought possible, thanks to my one-year-old.  OK, well, maybe I bought her a lot of those.  Er, before she was born.  Some maybe years before she was born.  But still.

Well, I'll let everybody have a bit of a chance to read this thread, and then we'll see what happens.

I'm a big fan of Bloom County, but I already have a little graduating Opus plush.

I hope you find a good home for yours.

The way you said this, I don't know, it sounds like it's a staple of every household.  "Oh yes, of course I have a little graduating Opus plush.  Dad bought it for me back in '93.  Really, I don't know how I got along without it."  

I wish I were close enough to getting my M.A. to request it, but I've barely scratched the surface of post-Bachelor's study, so I feel unworthy.  I've got at least another three years.

I suggest sending it to the next person who will be graduating from anything.

I'm thinking that might be a good idea, Dawg. However, perhaps a caveat: the person needs to have at least 50 posts, to weed out the dilletantes. It'll probably be V-Adore, what with the numerous graduations just past and upcoming.

Graduating high school (how embarassing)in June, but not an Opus fan- give it to V or whoever.


Just needed to assert myself as the true graduator of the board.

I feel vaguely nervous about the fact that AlohaDawg has a plan. Oh, no, not a "plan!" Will I have to submit a "project report?"

(I suppose I could find a way to integrate this all into my Grand Plan to Terrify My Roommate And Convince Her That I Have Legions Of Sketchy Male Friends. I'll have to carefully hook it into the current primary element of the plan, "friend from the Yukon calls and screams like Dani Filth into the phone.")

Why is this embarrassing?  Wouldn't NOT graduating be more embarrassing?  Surely you aren't ashamed of your youth.  That's nothing to be embarrassed about!  Wish I was 18 again.

Yeah, high school sucked, but it'd be fun to be just *graduating* high school again.  No responsibilities, getting drunk and laid all the time, partying with my band...

Fuck.  Now I'm all feeling old and stuff.

Is it right to have a mid-life crisis just before you turn 30?

Well, at least you are having a lot of sex in your dreams. I don't even get that - it's all being chased by cultists and shit for me.

Also: I'm going back to work on Wednesday (long, extremely aggravating story) so I'd like to get it out on Monday if possible. I will continue to check in.

Jough, if it makes you feel any better, I can help you dispose of those cumbersome rosy glasses... doncha remember not being able to get the car, having acne, furtive pot-smoking in the garage, and crushing selfconsciousness.  Now that is the spirit of high school.
