According to Hamden-Sydney's Insight Magazine:

There are only three all-male liberal-arts colleges left in the United States. They are Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Ind., Atlanta's Morehouse College and, the oldest of the three, Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, which first opened its doors for classes on Nov. 10, 1775, making it the 10th-oldest college in the country. There once were many more. But the vast majority have long since gone coeducational - Harvard College and Yale, for instance, and smaller liberal-arts institutions such as Amherst, Williams and Washington and Lee.

I looked it up and Deep Springs is all male ("in accordance with its deed of trust") but it's only 2 years.

Edited to say and it's in California! For some reason that surprises me.

Coitus Interruptus
 
This not uber hot but very good in bed guy and I were having sex in the laundry room of an apartment building -- I was sitting on the washing machine and he was standing. We were just joking about how we should have brought some quarters when we were interrupted by a maintenance man. He gave us about 10 seconds to dress and then ran us out of the building. I think he ran us out not because of the sex in the common area, but because we weren't tenants.

I wonder if they do horse breeding.
They appear to concentrate on cattle (including dairy) and alfalfa. There is a "student cowboy" position though. Maybe he gets a horse? He seems to be involved with birthing the babies, I mean calves.

From the Hampden-Sydney website:

Since 1776 Hampden-Sydney has sustained its mission "to form good men and good citizens in an atmosphere of sound learning." Ranked among the country's top liberal arts institutions, the College continues to live up to its historical promise. Among its alumni are one U.S. President, thirteen Senators, and many Congressmen, state representatives, doctors, attorneys, ministers, educators, and leaders in business and industry (nearly one alumnus in ten is president, owner, or CEO of a company).


My question: how does that CEO stat really rate within college-educated society as a whole? If it is higher than normal, is this because the school instills some sort of entrepreneurial spirit in its grads? Because they can't get jobs elsewhere, so they decide to form their own businesses? Other possibilities? Does a higher stat say good things about a school or couldn't it cut both ways?

My college BF started and later sold his own business in his mid-20s. He wasn't necessarily the best or the brightest, just the most willing to take a risk on business ventures. Good for him, because he was a bit of an egomaniac (understatement), and he apparently enjoyed having his mug on Rhode Island late-night tv space pitching cell phones. Others might be squeemish about that sort of enterprise. Sort of like plaintiff's side PI work. I good gig for some, who make a ton of money, but not what many lawyers would envision themselves doing because it is perceived to be unseemly.

(I wanted to say seemingly unseemly, but I restrained myself)

Until you posted that, I had completely forgotten mine. I was in college, and had brought SO to my parent's house for a visit. My parents weren't home when we got there, so we proceded to get busy in my old bedroom. My mom came home, but we didn't hear her until she was halfway up the stairs from the garage. We were having sex standing up, and since my feet were not on the ground, we couldn't, um, separate, in time. His pants were around his ankles, and I was naked. The only good news was that in that position, I was able to avoid making eye contact with my mom, who promptly fled down the hall. Dinner was very quiet that night.
Both of those stories reminds me of one of my favorite coitus interruptus stories. My parents used to go out of town a lot on the weekends, and as a result, ours was the house that had all the wild parties. If there was a party going on after a football game or whatever, likely it was at our house. One weekend, my sister had some male friends who were looking to hook up and they'd drunkenly figured that our house was the place to do so. I imagine that they'd probably had some success in the past with this strategy. Anyhow, for whatever reason, the front door was unlocked. Around two or so in the morning, the guys walked into the dark, no-evidence-of-a-party-anywhere house and they decided to go upstairs and find my sister and ask where the party was. Of course, they walked in on my parents. My mother was in a better position to leap for a sheet and chase them out of the house.

My sister spent the rest of that school year having to explain that she had no idea that the guys were gonig to show up and that she didn't invite them over and that she was very very sorry that they walked in on my parents having sex.

I would think it could cut both ways. It appeared to me (but I had limited exposure) that one way in which Hampden-Sydney was selective was that it tended to select students whose families had money/social standing/power. So you'd have to control for that when looking at correlations.

No slam on Virginia, but we're talking about a Commonwealth in which any male whose first name is his mother's maiden name (by which I mean all native first-born sons) is assured he will inherit the family business, which is, by definition, a "company" of some sort.

H-S grads aren't likely to move to Manhattan to make it there and, by necessity, anywhere. If you were to measure the number of alums who were presidents or CEOs of publicly-traded companies, I imagine H-S would suffer in comparison to many comparably sized Northeastern schools. It's a good regional liberal arts school, but it ain't exactly Wharton/Tulane.

In yet another, gee, I sure abused my mom's good nature when I was in college incident, my mom came to visit me one weekend at school. At the time, I lived with 5 other women in a three bedroom apartment. All but one roommate had gone away for the weekend, leaving me and mom mostly alone in the apartment. I put my mom in missing roommate's bed for the night, which was near a window that opened out onto a ledge facing the street. The window was the old-fashioned kind that opened with a crank and was impossible to lock. The ledge was about 15 feet off the ground, but pretty easy to climb up to if you knew how.

Anyway, at about 3 am, two guys pried opened the window from the outside, and proceeded to climb into the room from the ledge, stage whispering "idle's roommate? idle?" At which point my mother simply sat up in bed and intoned: "No, idle's mother."

The guys (who were in fact good friends of roommate) were mostly freaked.

Also, if you buy used cars, you can't get the latest and greatest thing that's out there. The amount of excellent new car models is astonishing. Compare what's out there today with what is even two or three years old, and it's amazing. For example, for $19,995, you can get a brand new Dodge Neon SRT. If you want to spend more, you can get a Volvo S60 T5R. With the Neon, you'd have to find a used car that is now selling for $20,000 that will do 0-60 mph in under six seconds. With the Volvo, there simply wasn't anything made two or three years ago with 300 horsepower, all wheel drive, and a six speed manual. The closest thing is a used Audi S4, if you can find one. You'd end up with a smaller car that might not be as quick, not to mention how much sooner you'd have to start taking it in to the shop for basic maintenance and repairs, such as new brakes, new tires, new belts and hoses, etc.

If people see cars as merely an appliance, sure, go out and get yourself a three year old gold Toyota Camry with the four cylinder and automatic. Otherwise, it's tough to beat the new cars that are on the market today.
Bless your heart. Even a 2004 Honda Accord kicks the shit out of a 2003 - if you're looking for a Honda.

Husband's best friend said it first - he doesn't want anything that someone's farted in already.
Or had sex in.
So that's good enough for me.

There's a reason why "some cars" depreciate rapidly.
Renault Fuego comes to mind. Audi Fox is another. It's because they're crap. Fiat - talk about bottoming out in worth.

Technophile, yes, that has something to do with it. But there are other things, as well.

You could get an A4, with quattro and the V6, but it would not be that fast. You could get an S4, but you'd be hard pressed to find one for $25,000 that was not overloaded with miles. That's just one example.
...
If you think that I'm buying a new 4 cylinder, automatic Camry, you've got another thing coming. ;) Besides, that's another quirk of my car buying habits -- I'll eschew a luxury car in favor of one with better performance and far less money.
Here's my question about speed: when and where are you going to be able to take advantage of it? The Fugee Mom and I drove across ND and MT this summer and there was nary a patrol car in sight. I guess a fast car would have enabled me to go more than 80-85 but when else? Most of the places I go, my little 6 cyl. manual Saturn gives me all the speed I need.

I will grant you that a comfortable ride may be worth it. The Mom and I drove her car, which is slightly more luxe than my Saturn. It was nice. But given the choice between an expensive car and jewelry, nicer stuff for the Manor, or more money in the bank, I'll pass on the car. Just not a car nut.

She told me a wonderful story about the time she was sharing a bed with a gay male friend of hers, and she, um, grabbed him. He was there as she was telling me this story and he recalled it quite well. The look on his face as he explained how he felt on that occasion was priceless.

It can't possibly have a happy ending. A lesbian grabbed a gay man's penis in the middle of the night. Neither of the pair was happy about this event. No sex happened, but lots of ewww comments did occur.

You need to learn to speak for yourself, homie.

I tend to think of myself as good looking, but when a girl tells me how hot she thinks I am (especially when it's whispered softly in my ear and followed up by that look -- you know that look), it makes me want to fuck the shit out of her.
