<p>from rockyandbullwinkle.com</p>

<p>"Direct from Frostbite Falls, Minnesota, America's favorite squirrel and moose, Rocky & Bullwinkle, returned to the longest running show on Broadway as a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloon with 50 Macy's handlers holding the balloon along the parade route. Having made his Parade debut in 1961, everyone's favorite "Mr. Know-It-All" returned in 1996 with his pal Rocky as the Parade's first ever two-character balloon, spanning an astonishing 68 feet long and 32 feet wide, lifted by over 9,000 cubic feet of helium. Donning a red "Wossamotta U" sweater and a colorful beanie cap (complete with spinning propeller), Bullwinkle J. Moose is accompanied by his lifelong friend, Rocket J. Squirrel, who with his friendly wave, tags along for the ride.</p>

<p>Spelling just confirmed, as the rest of you have it, via e-mail from Charles Solomon, one of the two greatest living American animation experts: Wossamotta U</p>

<p>I've heard Faber College is pretty strong in the maths also...</p>

164

<p>I am glad to see that you are following this discussion with the solemnity that it deserves, GuitarMan. Faber's mechanical engineering department is, of course, without peer.</p>

<p>Faber is a fine school, one that is frequently overlooked by far too many applicants, especially the crowd from CC. But Wottsamotta's prestige is hard to beat. Here in SoCal, cachet-conscious parents are constantly asking which prep schools are the best feeders for WHYPS.</p>

<p>This thread hijack has been very interesting, but that line took it over the LOL top.</p>

<p>I am laughing.....and I needed a laugh.</p>

<p>Well, Faber's motto, "Knowledge is Good," embraces the central tenets of an LAC, certainly. But I'm not wild about some of the Greek life, particularly Delta House, and I'm not a fan at all of their ROTC program. Push come to shove, I like the more freewheeling engagement of Wottsamotta U.; it's sorta like a co-ed, more animated, version of Smith.</p>

169

<p>So, what topic did you choose for your Wattsamotta U essay? Something introspective I would hope.</p>

<p>I just put on the Kirwood Derby and can't think of anything.</p>

<p>The personal growth I experienced in racing the Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam at Frosbite Falls boat regatta.</p>

<p>But didn't that regatta lead to the WHYPS massacre as yachts of all colors (blue, crimson, orange and black, etc...) went down the falls? And who's Omar Khayyam? An international applicant? Much harder for those to get in, you know. I know ED means Early Death. But what's EA?</p>

<p>EA? Early Alzheimer's? That could be it, but I'm not sure I've remembered it correctly.</p>
