There is more here than meets the eye, so I think we will hear more about this in due time....
As for what does meet the eye, she has my vote for any job she can perform. Better her than any clawing cat that could hold her good looks against her.
Vilmar, thank you for removing that penis from my nose. That was embarrasing. I will attempt not to incur your wrath today, O Great and Benvolent Wetback Dictator.
Damn, she is seriously good looking. What kind of sexless old coots run Harvard anyway? It seems to me, that a slutty librarian would make more people visit the library, maybe not read… but at least visit.
Having seen a good many librarians, over the years, I think that the concept of “Slutty Librarian” is a good one.
I hope the Harvard administrators reconsider.
The ice you skate on, Stan, is thin. Very thin.
Vilmar, perhaps this babe should be recruited for the blog, for self-evident reasons? Just don’t change her avatar.....
Yet another reason why Harvard Sucks!
Oh yeah, I dated a librarian 21 years ago...she was definitely FUN!
This blog already has enough cute babe!
Jealous-naa notme
Now hang on, the article says she’s suing because she’s black. And too pretty. And too sexy. But primarily because she’s black. She’s black???????? Can you play the race card if no one has dealt you a hand?
Is there a limit somewhere for racial membership? 1/16? 1/64? 1/1024? 2 melanin cells per square inch of skin? Just wondering, since I could use Being Black to advantage myself, and this girl looks amazingly non-black to me.
She 40 and not married! (no ring) Doubtlessly a lesbian.
OINK OINK OINK OINK OINK OINK OINK OINK OINK OINK OINK OINK
Now now Oinky, that’s not fair. Maybe being forced into a low paying job at Harvard left her too poor to afford a wedding ring, poor thing. Besides I thought lesbies could get married there anyway.
I wonder if she didn’t show up to her interviews dressed like she was going to go clubbing?
My Pop was always one to find the meanest, ugliest women he could find for office help. All bullshit aside, everyone of those women were work horses. Great for bill collecting too.
Stan - I gotta tell ya, you sure like prodding things. Bet you liked to play with fire as a kid.
None of our office assistants dressed provocatively. The boss would not allow it. Her name was Kathy.
The professional staff had to look professional. And if you were a big producer you could wear a jockstrap outside your pants. (Or your bra outside, or no bra)
My grouse was with women who soaked themselves in a tubfull of perfume every morning.
OCM, until the 1950’s, in Louisiana you were considered “black” if you had 1/64th black blood. There were even degrees of separation from black to quadroon, to octaroon to mulatto .... and so forth. Oh, and if you had any black blood, you could not marry a white person. It took a massive social upheaval to get rid of that shit. Today, Louisiana has only one problem: those damned coonasses and cajuns.
Or, as Stan or any decent Texan will tell you: teh only thing that separates a normal human being from a lunatic is .... the Sabine River!
OCM, you are loitering around on this page because you like to look at the picture.
Perfume—My then 4-year-old son spent the weekend with Grandpa. Shortly after returning home, he sniffed some air spray and said,
“Dat smells like a French horse.”
Well Oldcatman I was wondering, since I read the article and didn’t see reference to any statement about her race that was keeping her back. Nor anything really about her being held back due to being female, other than that people found her sexy. And she works at Harvard, not exactly a place where political correctness has no sway. So I would think that her race and sex could only work to her advantage there ...
I wonder if maybe, just maybe, she was not a good worker or perhaps unpleasant or unreliable or something. You know, the same reasons that would keep the rest of us from being moved up. Which would make this lawsuit a real case of sour grapes and leave her nothing to play but the race and gender cards.
As to the racial percentages I have no idea. Could it be an environmental thing (recall Steve Martin in The Jerk -"I was raised a poor black child")? That’s the only other choice right? Genetics or environment. Any physical feature can be added or taken away by surgery (ala Michael Jackson) so you can’t tell by looking. Or is telling by looking the only thing that really matters? Once upon a time back in the bad old days there was such a thing as “passing”, but that has turned around 100% and now we’re expected not only to accept someone like Mariah Carey as a black woman, but somehow we’re supposed to be able to tell. Ok, but how?? Can you belong to a racial group simply because you say so (ala Ward Churchill)? I just want to understand.
Being a plain old WASP whose great great grandparents weren’t immigrants leaves me clueless about this whole subculture/ethnic thingy. But there has to be something, some line, some factor that exists that denotes the touch of the magic wand. And in this day in age I want it; I’m tired of being seen as the root of all the world’s evils.
Drew458 needs an avatar.
Allan, at what point did Louisiana realize that their 1/64th rule - one black forebearer 6 generations back, call it 150 years ago - meant that almost everyone in the state was black? Especially the poorer folk who didn’t keep immaculate geneologies and couldn’t prove otherwise? Duh.
Drew458 has a typekey avatar, but not on this site. But I’ll take what you will as long as its not too humiliating. I tried to pick one when I signed up but it wouldn’t work for me. Boo hoo.
Drew458 now has an avatar.
Drew, I think it was around 1956 that everyone in Louisiana realized there was only one truly white person left .... and he turned out to be an albino cajun. Fer true! Das whut Boudreaux don’ tol’ me! Yassir!
Smithers? Isn’t he gay?
Smithers?? I’m dying laughing here! Outstanding. Just don’t expect me to suck up to whoever gets Mr. Burns.
OCM - While your here. What is going on with that back country lodge that burned down in your part of the state?
...only thing that separates a normal human being from a lunatic is .... the Sabine River!
For those without an Atlas:
Sabine River;
A river of eastern Texas rising northeast of Dallas and flowing about 925 km (575 mi) generally southeast and south to the Gulf of Mexico. Its lower course forms the Texas-Louisiana border and crosses Sabine Lake before entering the Gulf.
