Oh, you flatter me
Conversing with a co-worker:
Me: At college I lived at [residence area established in 1986]...
Co-worker: Oh, wow, you're that young?
Me: Well, I'm twenty-six.
Co-worker: Hmph. I guess you are that young.
Me: At college I lived at [residence area established in 1986]...
Co-worker: Oh, wow, you're that young?
Me: Well, I'm twenty-six.
Co-worker: Hmph. I guess you are that young.

Do you address this co-worker as "Grand-pa" in conversation?
Nope. Why? Is this a joke about my hyphenation of "co-worker"? I almost went with the canonical "cow-orker".
Well, sort of half that and half a joke about your coörker being old enough to regard you as "that young".
Oh. Heh.

you're a herefordian? i'm going to have to reframe my whole concept of "Stanley" now.
ya'll did have the best dining hall, though. no lines!
Damn you, neo. My residential college was significantly Browner than that, though we used to trek up to that dining hall on Fridays (when Newcomb was closed for dinner). I heard it was supposed to face the other direction, with the big glass space windows looking out on the mountains, rather than back at Hereford. Wonder if that's true...
everyone else in college saw the dining hall as a place to get a date, while Stanley was gazing out the window wondering about architectural blunders.
Personally, I have always wished that I had applied to live on The Lawn.
Pee in your sink for week. You'll get past your would-be Lawn nostalgia.
there was a rumor about a dude that lived on the lawn and got so drunk that he woke up in the middle of the night and peed in his fireplace. the chick he took home that night never returned his call three days later.
Stanley is a child!
Are you around this weekend?
I'll call if I am heading up to plant grapes/eat at Dr. Ho's.
I will be around. Give a ring!
