Big New from the Faculty Meeting!
It was another great faculty meeting this morning. First we had a hot-dog-eating contest, and Prof. Dave ("Kobayashi of Texas") Swenson won with 45 dogs. He just nipped Prof. Ryan, who ate 43. After that, we watched tv for a while, but there was nothing good on, so we played that game where you throw a knife between the other person's feet (note to Prof. Underwood's students-- if he claims he won, ask what happened to his loafer!).
Finally, we got around to the real business of the meeting, which was hiring someone new. As you know, we had a bumper crop of new profs this year, including a samarai whose law school note "Preacher You Done Knocked Up My Daughter!" won several awards; a renowned litigator and Jedi Knight who is often accompanied by his Wookie sidekick; an East German Cyborg Killing Machine well-qualified to teach Complex Multidistrict Litigational Trial Evidentiary Complexities (among other courses); and a datapath who excels not only in property law but in her work with the Justice League of America. To follow up this bumper crop, we will soon be interviewing Bruce Sanderson Dwight, known in some circles as "The Stylist," and pictured above. He comes highly recommended, and his name is known to those (such as Prof. Richard Dragon) in the fields of international law and styling. If you see him in the halls, be sure to give him a hearty Baylor Law welcome!
