Let's see your DUer's (as against Dewar's) profile
Edited on Tue Dec-21-04 03:10 AM by undisclosedlocation
For you young'uns, long ago the Dewar's whiskey company had an inexplicable hit with a very, very pretentiously unpretentious (nice work if you can get it, no?) print ad campaign featuring very rich and successful people sitting around being decadent and answering questions about as challenging as those a Playboy Playmate faces. In these latter days, the Dewar's profile apparently has entered the English language as a synonym for thumbnail sketch, and appears to be very popular with our university professors. (Hmmmmmm.)

If you just have a burning desire to do a Dewar's profile, they go like this:
Name:
Home:
Occupation:
Latest book read:
Greatest accomplishment:
Your Scotch: (HINT: You should probably put Dewars!)

I think the DUer's profile should go more like this:
Username:
Dad's attic or Mom's basement?:
Degree of outrage:
Latest arrest for civil disobedience:
Highest degree attained:
Your preferred intoxicant:

Note: I'M KIDDING! Feel free to come up with your own approach; I appreciate that the items I came up with don't really apply to 90% of us (I mean the arrest and basement ones, that is). Share whatever you feel like, whatever you're comfortable with, or just cut and paste your actual DU profile. See how easy I am?

Oh yeah:
Username: undisclosedlocation
Dad's attic or Mom's basement?: attic
Degree of outrage: Extreme
Latest arrest for civil disobedience: Does speeding count?
Highest degree attained: Master's
Your preferred intoxicant: Cable tv
Now how hard was that?
