        1. Flip them over.
        2. See all the wriggly pointy bits.
        3. Put your pants back on and walk away.
        4 (Optional). Have nightmares.

        …No, wait, that’s horseshoe crabs.

        College of Arts and Sciences seems right… but the courses are listed under a categorical (likely department) code (MATH, ENG, GNDR), rather than COAS directly, on the IU website.

      My best guess is “College of Arts and Sciences,” but I’m pretty sure those classes are actually under the COLL heading? So either I’m wrong (I mean, I did literally just register for classes, but I’m an incoming freshman, and I’m ignorant) or it’s just changed since Willis was there.

      Okay, so it seems that it most likely stands for “College of Arts and Sciences. At my university, there’s a similar thing, but it’s called the “College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences”. And yes, it is abbreviated as CLASS.

      Googled “Indiana University COAS-S 122”. Got a class site hit. Looks like COAS-S was once the letters for the Communications department, which is now CMLL-C.

      COAS-S 122 is (was) Interpersonal Communication. Course description: “Practical consideration of human interaction is explored. Special attention is given to perception, verbal and nonverbal language, and attitudes in dyads and small groups, in face-to-face, digital, or mediated situations. No prerequisites.”

      …. researching this made it funnier, rather than killing it. I’m as surprised as anyone.

    I can see that I’m not the only one who doesn’t recognize that acronym.

    I have another question: what is a “horse”? Is that the Earth quadruped with black and white stripes, and unsplit hooves? Or is it the flightless avian with a long neck? You used to use both of those species for land transportation, right?

    • Ancestral Hamster
      Ancestral Hamster

      Neither. A “horse” is an artificial construct made of wood used as a temporary support while working with other pieces of wood.

        Swerve
        June 27, 2014 at 12:50 am | #

        And by “wood” you’re referring to plant matter acquired by cleaving a deciduous tree apart with an ax or saw, and not using some sort of euphemism that a several million year old sapient robot that transforms into a truck wouldn’t recognize, right?

          Re: “wood”. Although the term “wood” can be used as an euphemism for an erect penis of a sexually aroused human male, that was not how I was using the term in the previous post. As you deduced, it was in the sense of harvested plant matter from a deciduous tree.

          By the way, evergreen trees are used in regions without deciduous trees or where scarcity means deciduous woods are used for the most crucial functions, leaving softer evergreens for less important functions.

          Bamboo, while a member of earth’s grass family, is wood-like in hardness and a remarkably versatile construction material.

              Whenever you hear about weird inexplicable behavior in humans, it’s usually reasonable to assume it has something to do with sex.

                Yeah, that’s the general consensus at the bar. Whirl disagrees (no surprise there). He thinks that all of these weird, inexplicable behaviors are related to violence. (That’s not much of a surprise either.) Cyclonus actually agrees with Whirl on that one (which is a monumental surprise, right up there with the outcome of a certain trial). Of course given what happened to Cyclonus on his only visit to your planet…

              It drives Ultra Magnus up the wall (figuratively, of course; he doesn’t have magnetic tires like Trailcutter does) when words have multiple definitions. He takes it personally when one or more of the definitions is a colloquialism. Magnus has been known to arrest ‘Bots using slang in their reports.

              Anyway, I asked Bluestreak what a “horse” is. He said he’ll schedule showings of “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Back to the Future: Part III” so he could point them out.

          That would require Billie to have a basic understanding of the chemistry involved in fermentation and distillation. As a metallurgist, most of my work back at the Kimia Station (which has been declassified, now that the war is over) involved analyzing metals on their molecular level, either to find new ways to create stronger alloys (such as for starships hull plating, armor for frontline infantry or for defensive installations), or to study enemy alloys to try to find ways to damage them. That often required me to work in tandem with a weapons engineer like Brainstorm or Ironfist; I may know how to make the periodic table dance at my whim, but I’m not an engineer by any stretch of the imagination.

          The skills that let me analyze metal, also allow me to distill energon (and energon substitutes) into engex using the distillery in my bar. Not just anybody can pull that off! By the same token, just because someone drinks alcohol, doesn’t mean that they know how to ferment or distill it. Grapes and other fruit can ferment naturally, or the process can be sped up by adding sugar or yeast. The problem is that adding too much can cause the liquid to ferment too fast and become vinegar rather than wine. Distilling grain or other plants into vodka or scotch is a delicate process that takes time. And beer? Billie can drink an ocean of beer and wouldn’t know how to brew malt properly.

          Um, what’s a “Maximal”? I’ve heard of an Autobot named Battle Unicron, a rather devout guy who wielded a kickass battleaxe and could teleport short distances. I think he was assigned to the Autobot Anti-Infiltration unit on a planet named Equestria. I haven’t heard whether he survived the war or not.

          So what you’re saying is that “horses” are scouts who wield melee weapons, can teleport short distances, and scramble the sensors of their enemies by pounding the ground?

today in #9chickweedlane i learned that "how to lie" is not, actually, achieved by cupping the balls, despite the evidence of the entirety of the first panel, but by some other giant pile of words i guess, tl;dr

“It’s not me who’s a bigot,” they always argue. “I’m fine with all you people. But the rest of the electorate is full of bigots, on whose behalf I will now speak”

House Republicans have shut down floor votes and will likely adjourn for 6 weeks to avoid voting for the release of the Epstein files.

The two greatest evils known to mankind, A.I. and the person directly in front of you in line at the post office, have finally teamed up. We’re done.

Woman in line in front of me at the post office is not happy about the cost of shipping. She just whipped out her phone, asked ChatGPT how much it thinks the shipping should cost, and is trying to get the mailman to honor that price.

I still love this Glen Brogan artwork capturing a truly iconic Star Wars moment...
Glen Brogan art of a trio of seagulls attacking a fleeing Yoda, who is valiantly trying to protect his head from the onslaught...

OK democrats shutting down congress by attaching Epstein amendments to everything is pretty funny

Politico & Punchbowl report House Republican leadership is shutting down the Rules Committee - which is essential for moving party-line bills on the floor - for the week rather than vote on Democratic amendments on the Epstein files. Dems have effectively halted Republican legislation in the House:

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

Brother from Another
Not just any man, not just any actor. We lost our brother. From the living room, from the Thursday night laughs, from the pages of our childhoods folded between homework and hope. Malcolm-Jamal…
