I mean, "Alexa Winner" is like the rich person equivalent of a porn name. It's like Homer Simpson renaming himself Max Power.

Like Zen monks marinating on the essence of nothingness, members tried to put their finger on that ineffable quality that makes them worthy of membership.
You can marinate on things now? I thought you usually marinate in things.

classrooms decorated with room-size hand-hooked rugs depicting scenes of American history, the kitchen, where Gordon Getty occasionally pads around in his bathrobe and where a chef trained at Chez Panisse prepares organic, multicourse lunches for the teachers and children

Making poorly thought out diagnoses of Asperger's, sounds like ilx
― badg, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 00:53 (thirteen years ago) link
That's golden, but I loved the bit where the headmistress is diagnosing the kids though best. "Aspergers, definitely. And Paul is going to be a violent schizophrenic. And Claude is showing all the signs of a teenage bedwetter. Just letting you know in advance."

So let me get this straight. Super rich parents are sending their kids to an unlicensed, un-inspected, illegal daycare run out of somebody's home where a dude in a robe makes food and a vindictive lady with a Montessori certificate hands out psych diagnoses like Flintstone vitamins because it's invite only and that makes people think it's special? That is like some limited edition Beanie Babies, manufactured scarcity, straight bullshit right there.

Oh I'm sorry. A chef makes the food. The crepe lurking around in his bathrobe is the owner. It all makes sense now.

TBF, (1) it is free, and (2) I get the sense that people either (a) are afraid to refuse or (b) don't know what they're getting into and then are afraid to leave when they find out. Which is perhaps the quintessential agony of the ruling class.

What are they afraid of? I mean, if they are really worried that refusing to send their kids to this crazy ass daycare would result in some thing really bad, why the hell are they entrusting their little kids to these crazy ass mofos' care? "Oh, sorry Caleb, but I'm going to send you to stay with these vengeful weirdos all day because if I don't, they might black ball us from the yacht club and then you'll never get into Stanford."

― ice cr?m, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 02:35 (thirteen years ago) link
um, pretty sure donating to harvard = scholarships for people who actually do need it.
