It's likely that the rest of you have already heard of this man with the shit-eating grin, but for those of you who haven't, he's been a student of UW-Whitewater for 12 years and has even qualified for some special tax on students who take too long to complete their degree. My favorite thing about CNN's coverage of him is the above picture. Notice the fully stocked bar to the right and the segment of the word whisky to the left of his Sean William Scott spiked hair (remember Dude, Where's My Car). Paradoxically, despite the frat boy demeanor, his long list of majors includes education and women's studies. So I can't put my finger on him. Is this guy for real or is he playing the full time liberal arts student to meet women, as this picture suggests? The article is about his decision to stay on a twelth year because he never studied abroad. Again, broaden mind or meet broads? Remembering Tristram Shandy, it occurs to me that these two things aren't always cast as entirely separate.

I'd have to agree with your suspicions, Kevin. Does the guy do something else for a living? I could see how being an undergrad for, well, forever could be attractive if you just want to "dabble" in a bunch of subjects for fun. But then again, like you, I look at him and wonder how involved he is with the, ahem, student body.
Student Body! I'm giggling with delight.
