Shelby darlin' you're looking a little haggard these days. Wouldn't you just like to take a little rest? Go back to Texas and lie by the pool? Now wouldn't that be nice? Don't worry about the university. As you can see from this board, lots of people care about USM, and we can take care of it. In fact, it will be just fine without you. You're not getting any younger fella, and we think you've got a well-deserved rest coming. It'll be so good for your health. So just put your feet up and punch "send" on that e-mail to Roy about resigning. C'mon. You know it's what's best for you, for Shirley (she worries so much, you know), and the rest of us. Sun and fun are waiting.
Puh-leaze go back to the building named for you, and leave the rest of USM alone. Really, they can do just fine without you. And if you do go back soon, please be nicer to the admin. assistants and graduate students in Polymer Science this time around.
Truth/Andrea (your former grant writer who helped USM & Polymer Science get the almost $4 million NSF grant in 2003--see, English majors really do have some value!).
Hi Dr. Thames. I hope all is well in the Dome. I haven't been to Hattiesburg in a few months. I thought I'd write you here since I hear you're reading this Web site.
I hear things are "crazy" down there these days. I thought things were "crazy" when I was still an undergrad. but I guess I didn't know anything, did I?
I remember you told the Printz lasts year it should be more "fair and balanced" like Fox News. Do you think it's gotten better since I left?
Are you still "concerned" about the journalism department? After all, you should be more in the know there last year this time, since you've been reading "Student Printz" e-mails.
Did it make you feel "excited" reading a 23-year-old woman's e-mail? I bet it did.
Were you alone when you read them? Were the lights out? How did it make you feel when you read a young woman's personal correspondence? Did you feel like a "big red-blooded man?"
Just wondering how it feels to be know so much about students. I guess it makes sense that you should know as much as possible about them. We all know they're your "most prized possessions."
I just got the creeps reading that post. Now I look @ Thames with even more disgust. If the Dome Gnome has read my e-mails, I'll be as ****ed as Bobby Chain.
BTW, This is everyone chance to tell Shelby hey. I want to hear what you have to say.
