<p>Yeah, a good amount of the writers went to Harvard, my uncle Mike Reiss (not blood unfortunatley, those genes would of been awesome) is a exec producer for the show. He said going to Harvard is like "going into your backyard, and burning 120,000$"</p>
<p>LOL. that's funny. wow how do you guys know so much about simpsons writers?</p>
<p>wikipedia ;)</p>
<p>Ahaha, funny story dlema7. </p>
<p>Hm, good point about the UCB and Stanford rivalry. Though who could hate Stanford? It's so awesome :)</p>
<p>Awesome, yes, but not as good as Berkeley.</p>
<p>hahaha</p>
<p>Conan went to Harvard.</p>
<p>Good enough for me.</p>
<p>Your jejune lament is little more than an obreption. Your institution, fine as it may be, has 255 fewer years of legitimacy than that Ivy League institution known as Harvard. I dont frequently see scholars from Harvard spending time discussing the minutia of a cartoon on the internet. Maybe it is a cultural aspect that does not translate well. Nonetheless, you silly Americans and your chest thumping scholastic rivalries remain a delightful distraction from the vantage point of a tertiary institution that dates back to the 11th Century. My aim is not to jabble the waters of the Atlantic, but might I enquire as to the record of the Stanford gridiron team during the 11th Century? I think this observation can be made nemine contradicente.</p>
<p>“Nigel”, you are either a vaguely amusing ■■■■■ or a breathtakingly pompous prig. Either way, you must be awfully bored over there on the other side of the pond, resurrecting such a long-dead thread. Incidentally, it really doesn’t behoove students at Oxbridge to vaunt the schools’ oldness as their principal claim to fame (nor is it persuasive when Harvard students do that). So yesterday, so yesterday…the real questions are, What’s Next, and Who Will Bring It? Answer: Stanford and Stanford grads. Ta!</p>
<p>Yes, yes, sis boom bah and all that. You tell us how it will be (but the weight of your claims would be greatly enhanced if you would slip in a few superfluous ‘likes’ and ‘ums’ and the occasional ‘dude’ – it demonstrates that one is part of the leading American edge).</p>
<p>It’s How It Is, Nigel, not merely How It Will Be. We’ve got lots of Brits at Stanford (and many more clamoring for a place each year), and they certainly agree. <em>waving at you in my rear view mirror</em></p>
<p>(Incidentally, as my command of the English language would seem to amply demonstrate, your stereotyping falls flat.)</p>
<p>Man, you guys all gotta like chill out or something.</p>
<p>ahahaha
lawl</p>
<p>She probably wouldn’t get in; we all know Stanford hates yellow people…</p>
<p>:p sorry</p>
