Tux of Borg Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 I met the guy who holds the record. An old Vietnam vet who just finished his 23rd degree! The summer time he hops in his van and drives around the country. In the fall he reports back to school. He said he makes more going to school than he would in the real world.
Mikie2times Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 He has a future in academia! Wasn't there a movie about a guy like him once? PTR 302196[/snapback] Van Wilder, and its a VERY funny movie
plenzmd1 Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Can't blame the guy. The funnest 5 years of my life. Had a buddy who took seven, but 11 is stretching it. Funniest line I heard from my best friend at school who got married the summer after graduation " I don't know what happpened, I woke up from a five year drunk, and I was married". BTW, I redshirted freshman year, so the five year plan was planned.
Fezmid Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 The funnest 5 years of my life. Didn't take many English classes, did you? CW

He said he makes more going to school than he would in the real world. 302207[/snapback] My dad knows a guy who, last he knew about 10 years ago, had been in college for over 30 years. Name is Roland Houle. His father, a doctor, told him as long as he was in college, he'd pay for it. So, he became a professional student. Unbelievable.
plenzmd1 Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Didn't take many English classes, did you? CW 302297[/snapback] English, Smenglish. It is truly amazing however, how bad my spelling has become since the invention of spellcheck. Hard to believe I could actually spell back in the day, before PCs, which BTW was when I was in college
Terry Tate Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Tommy: Did you hear I graduated? Richard Hayden: Yeah and just a shade under a decade. All right. Tommy: You know a lot of people go to college for seven years. Richard Hayden: I know, they're called doctors.
Tony P Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 A future in politics, methinks! "Seven years of college down the drain..." " Senator & Mrs. Blutarski"
coloradobillsfan Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 He started attending classes full time in 1994, "before the Internet," as he likes to say. if this guy truly thinks 1994 was before the internet maybe he needs a couple more decades of education
Gavin in Va Beach Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 He was obviously waiting until the college chicks got sluttier. He's hit the motherlode by now...

billsflippinrule Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 This guy and I are both in UW-Whitewater. He's running for student president. Him and his running mate's slogan is "who else has 15 years of college experience?" something like that. Wish I could just stick around for another ten years or so. I love being a slacker.
sidbuff Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Man 11 years is kinda of pushing it..................... I wonder who will hire him after he graduates when they see he was in college for 12yrs..........and for what.......A LIBERAL ARTS MAJOR ?????. Dont get me wrong college is one of the best life experiences around....but 12 years c'mon
Fezmid Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 if this guy truly thinks 1994 was before the internet maybe he needs a couple more decades of education 302630[/snapback] No kidding... Heck, UB is where I got my first 'net access from in '88 (from a friend of a friend who went there... ). CW
Dan Gross Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 So what position does he play? What round should he go in? What's the OurLads assessment?

Unbelievable. 302314[/snapback] i'd do it if i had the funding...no more engineering school classes though too painful

CW 302978[/snapback] 1994 wasn't pre-internet, it was pre Internet boom. If you were smart enough to hop on the Internet business bandwagon in 1994, you're probably quite rich about now.
mcjeff215 Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Hell, I'd take a class a semester until the day I die just to enjoy he company of a few thousand 21 year old ladies! Mwa ha ha ha.
