With Erin's recent forays into the Dragnet style of narrative, I couldn't help but think of Top Shelf when I found this recent blog entry:

Enjoy! ;-)

Amelia_R Shame on You, That was Too Funny to be Legal
Not quite as severely clipped speech as Erin's Dragnet spoof but not bad.
The professor getting trapped under a mountain of old paperwork and books is too funny and suprisingly real. One of my favorite professors in UW-Milwaukee's Econ dept had an office like that and he was only barely 40 - he was an expert in Labor Economics - must have been conserving his. How does it go, his/her file system is not alpha numeric or Library of Congress but inverse archeological order. Sad to say my bedroom resembles the scene, time to spring clean I guess.
Nice contribution Amelia, look forward to your Julie_O story timeline.

Didja ever??
Have you ever visited a professor's office? Or tried to work in one to repair something?
I work at a university in the physical facilities department. Last year we redid the ceilings in one wing of a building that contains many of the offices for the professors. A number were as bad as the scene described in the spoof of L&O. And one or two had the nerve to complain if we moved something to clean up when we were done.
Quite a humorus read. Thank you for posting the link.
