Former Rice Owl II,
It's always like that ain't it? It doesn't matter what walk-of-life you're from. You'll always have to deal with mofos in one form or another.

Heads up Harris County TX and Orange County CA:

You both are now under ORDER of the Justice department to provide voting ballots and instructions in Vietnamese, as well as in English and Spanish. Both of you two Counties in CA and TX have over 10,000 Vietnamese-American US Citizens of Voting Age who are not proficient in English. The Voters rights act stipulates that when you have this large of a population of a group of Voting age whose primary language isn't English, you must provide voting materials in their native language.

This is a HUGE step forward for the Vietnamese American Population in these counties.

Hooter's is cheaper than a strip club and they HAVE FOOD!!! The only thing is you don't get to look at their naked boobs and they don't give lap dances there. At least there's sports on every TV...

It was a sad day today. One of my mother's friends was killed at Kim's restaurant. The owner of the restaurant killed his wife including my mother's friend. Apparently, the other 2 men tried to intervene when the owner was arguing with his wife. The owner told the men to not interfere or else he would kill them also. Sure enough, he made through with his threat. Anyways, I drove my mother to the scene. It was gruesome even at a far distance. Here's a tip, if u are ever at a restaurant and encounter couples or people arguing, do not intervene. Just leave asap because you might end up in the morgue.

OMG

I saw that professor in the Hawaiian shirt at the Sugar Land Hooter's AGAIN! This time, he was in Lin's section. UNBELIEVABLE!!! She was sitting there talking with him and smiling at him since there wasn't anyone else in her section!!! She was just gabbing away while he ate his wings and commented here and there!!! Geez--she even gave him a BIG HUG and a KISS on the cheek before he left!!! You don't usually see a Hooter's girl doing THAT for a customer!!!

Anyway, Viet guy you need to go there and check out the babes--there's two more hapa chicks named Mallory and Denise working there now! Booze, Ballgames and Babes, my horny Asian brotha!!!

Hooter's is a ripoff! If i wanted to see some knockers, i'd just go to a strip club and probably end up paying the same!

Viet guy in Houston:

"Hey ASIAN MAN WHO'S A HOOTER'S FAN, which professor did you see at the new Hooter's? I did my basics at HCC-Stafford and I use to work there as well. C'mon, a hint at least?"

A hint? Okay... it's a professor who is known for wearing Hawaiian Shirts and shorts when he teaches summer school because he "dresses for comfort, not style." I'm not saying anymore than that!!!

former rice owl...and proud of it!

I went to THE Baylor in Waco--it is a separate institution from the Med School in Houston and the Dental School in Dallas. While I think it's great that the undergrads are able to get better research opportunities at Rice, Grad Students shouldn't be pushed aside nor should they be treated like slaves to the professors.

I was actually in the PhD program for Economics at Rice, but opted out with a second Masters degree when I realized several of my compatriots (who should have graduated long ago with their PhDs) were still there because the professors were milking them for all they were worth as research assistants while doing NOTHING to get them graduated. I know one guy who revised his dissertation on Nash Equilibria TEN times in five years but each time he made the recommended changes, the dept. chair at the time kept on "finding something else" to keep him from passing muster.

Again, the undergrad women at Rice were awesome in my opinion, but the professors need to get their heads outta their asses and treat the grad students with respect.
