Sideshow Mel - Fictional character on The Simpsons

</p>
<p>Kind of a stretch...</p>
<p>Wow, I didn't know mel went there! Now I must go.</p>
<p>Yeah, in a relatively recent episode, he said, "I agree with my fellow Cornell alumnus!" in response to something someone said (can't remember...)</p>
<p>Sideshow Mel!? I hope he comes back to teach a class!! :p</p>
<p>"How to usurp convicted felons' positions in the entertainment industry"</p>
<p>He was referring to writer Thomas Pynchon, who went here. </p>
<p>Sideshow Mel is certainly one of our more distinguished alumni, and (as far as I know) the only one to work personally with Krusty the Klown.</p>
<p>ye i just saw that episode last night, marge and her cooking, caught me off gaurd. ALso, on fri night numbers the show was on and the math guy whose daughter was kidnapped and had solved some HUGE math problem said he got his degree from Cornell. If you guys wanna hear sumtin REALLY weird read on:</p>
<p>The thurday or maybe earlier of the week us early decision acceptees were admitted (that fri dec10 how can u forget) well it was that week sumtime, JUST as law and order started on tv, like before they even revealed a murder or whatever, there was a woman talking to a crossing gaurd, (at this time i wasnt even going to watch it, was going to go to bed) neways, the gaurd goes how are things? nething new with you? to the woman (so ye i guess they knew each other) and blatantly, so surprisingly to me, she responded " oh relaxed/relieved or sumitn, my daughter was just accepted early decision to Cornell University" so of course my mouth just dropped, as i knew my decision was near. So im watching, and not more than 5 secs later u hear like a huge screeching of a car to a halt, and like a giant THUD. so of course everyone looks and the camera shifts towards the commotion, a guy had been hit/run over by a vehicle and killed i believed, and then time just skipped to when teh detectives were at the crime scene as usual u know. I was like, OH man, thats bad luck. (saying she got accepted and then sumone gets run over, lol) funny eh?? nebody else see it??? maybe ill post my thread of this so more ppl will read</p>
<p>wow... that's quite a story martinez... yeah... queer coincidence? kinda freaky... i noticed, now that i am accepted, that my senses seem more in tune in searching for "Cornell." yeah, this comment is just as random...</p>
