The Hopelessly Brain Dead are bitterly self-aware enough to know that despair is the only rational response to their utter stupidity. The Hopefully Brain Dead still have a Pollyannaish view that in spite of their GPA of -1.0 (they didn't just fail all their courses, they were also frequently tardy, a reflection of their inability to competently tell time), all will be well and they will someday stop living in an apartment and get a really good job. The Hopefully Brain Dead, however, include virtually all "legacy" students at Yale and Harvard, so they may be right. I think the Hopefully Brain Dead are even lower down the scale.

Maybe we should do a monthly IM meeting, so we won't be geographically Balkanized? Oh, and reading Ulysses from beginning to end only proves that you are a persistent SOB!

Oh, and reading Ulysses from beginning to end only proves that you are a persistent SOB!

Then it all makes sense. Actually, it'sw properly called SESSYLU s'ecyoJ semaJ. Now say it aloud with a light Irish brogue and it should all snap neatly into place.
