Full Disclosure

In light of this unbelievably stupid non-story, I would nevertheless like to inform my colleagues and LGM readers that on more than one occasion, I have devoted valuable classroom time to ridiculing the defensive skills of Derek Jeter and warning my students about the menace of robots. On those former occasions, it is quite probable that I used words like “clutchiosity” and “leadertude” without crediting Scott. In the latter instances, I may have offered dire, Farleyvian predictions based upon “elementary chaos theory,” and I may also have alluded briefly to Battlestar Galactica, a show that I have in fact never seen. I may also have worn a tie once or twice without mentioning that Rob apparently wears ties on teaching days.

I have not yet pilfered catch phrases or wardrobe ideas from Bean or DJW, but I assure them both that when this happens, I will probably not credit them either.

I offer my sincerest near-apologies for all of this.
