For those of you who know my husband:

I am delighted to announce that, subsequent to his two year review, Doug received glowing recommendations and recognition at every level, and has been promoted to Associate Professor! He will also be taking on the departmental directorship this summer.

Hooray!

Lynn :-)

Re: Icon Futurama's Prof. Farnsworth is Doug's alter ego.


Farnsworth/Doug: "Bad news, everyone! You're not good enough to go on your next mission/schedule your defense date."

Leela/Grad students: "Why? Says who?"

Farnsworth/Doug: "Because. And says me!"

Or:

Professor Bubblegum Tate (senior lecturer of physics at Globetrotter U)/Graduate student presenting GIS project proposal: "Now look here, Prof. [He draws some diagrams on a board.] I think we got ourselves an excess of Chronitons in the subatomic interstices."

Farnsworth/Doug, after listening to said student GIS project proposal: "Something involving that many big words could easily destabilize Time itself!"
