So how tongue in cheek is Columbia, anyway?
My latest object of desire is a sweatshirt from Cafe Press, although I've heard their quality is terrible. It's a Mr. Snaffleburger design from Matazone, and has inscribed the satirical motto "CONFORM. CONSUME. OBEY." My only question is should I get one and hope people get the in-joke, or avoid it on the grounds that I don't need people getting the wrong impression too quickly?
It's considerations like this filling my days right now, since I can't make any travelling preparations until I get my housing assignment from Columbia, and have some idea how much stuff I actually need to take. Hopefully this will arrive in the next few days, but in the meantime I'm at a bit of a loss.

Oh, we're pretty intelligent, so I think that most would get the joke. Otherwise, they're going to think you're just an angry leftist, and they'll love you for it anyway.

You're saying I've got a realistic chance of masquerading as an angry leftist? My god, I can see how the other half lives! :-)
Well, that's it. I'm ordering the shirt when next I can afford it!

Well, they always told me law school would be a catalyst for personal growth... ;)

I discovered Matazone my first year in college. I think you should go for the shirt :) It might do you some good.
*laughs* Personal growth, eh? Maybe you'll be on my side someday!

CafeShops shirts actually have pretty good quality, provided you wash them correctly. My Cardinal Ratzinger Fan Club sweater is holding up really well (and freaking out liberal theologians everywhere).
