— Ace As Fark says: You're doing it wrong.
This is very real. The decrepit old Sasquatch-lookin' hippie who jumps in is a professor and debate coach at Fort Hays State University. The black woman is the Pittsburgh coach.
The dispute involves one team receiving low scores.
Low scores? These latter-day Ciceros? No way.
Note he screams "This is not about fuckin' marijuana." Why do I think this is at least partly about fuckin' marijuana?
Profanity & Brief Sidal Nudity Warning. But worth it. It's like an intellectual/academic version of Hoosiers.
"It's about how you carry yourself."
Preach it, brother.
Please note that not enough people are going to college. Not enough of our non-academically-inclined students are attending these marginal, barely-accredited bottom-rung colleges and receiving the sage wisdom of mutants like this.
Update: Bigfoot lives? And is hoping for tenure?

That's not a mugshot. That's a glamor shot from (seriously) Professor/Debate Coach/Asshole Exhibitionist Bill Shanahan's blog. In which you'll find nuggets of wisdom such as this:
This election again offers a choice basically between only two candidates. Each one regularly presents their respective constituency with procedural, policy, and other reasons to vote against them.Still, recent history suggests only two choices are viable and that most voters will vote for one or the other. Despite differences and disagreements with a particular candidate, voters are more likely to vote for the viable candidate that best represents their beliefs.
Ralph Nader's legitimate response to his critics that he brought out new voters who would not otherwise have voted is no longer relevant. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama helped bring out new voters who were energized to vote for a historic Democratic president.
Even Ron Paul ended his bid for the Republican nomination. Where his votes will go, though, no one knows. Some experts think they will slide to John McBush. Others suggest Libertarian candidate Bob Barr or Constitution candidate Chuck Baldwin.
Not only is that painfully, retardedly obvious -- only one of the two major candidates has a shot at winning? Fo' rizzle? -- but he shows his nuance with the appellation "John McBush," which is only a few steps up from "Prezmodent Chimphitler McMurderburton."
Also note he's a professor of Speech and Communications, but titles blog-posts with insensible gibberish such as...
On the Precipice of an Historic Occasion
Occasions have precipices? Oh well. He's a professor of Speech and Communication, not Geography and Cartography. Nevermind the fact that he actually means that title to suggest "on the verge of a singularity of pure awesome" (that is, Obama's winning the nomination), so it's a bit strange to be talking about precipices and chasms and cliffs and yawning abysses.
Remember: This is not about the fuckin' marijuana.
Thanks to BRD for that. Awesome.

High level discourse there.
Good thing the big woman with the mullet was there to take control of the situation after the other would-be mediator guy broke down in tears. Hearing him whimper in the background has gotta be the best part of the video.

A bunch of morons screaming, emoting, cursing and stomping around arguing about things that don't matter to anybody outside of a small constituency group. Doing nothing. Signifying nothing. Getting nothing accomplished, and blaming the others when people take notice and lose interest.
Or, if that doesn't work for you, two Barack Obama supporters talking about "the issues" and resolving them in a calm, level-headed, academically rigorous manner.

I'm confused.
Was he attempting to use his ponytail as a weapon, or please the rain gods?
Judging by his body language and the way he swings his arms around, I'm forced to conclude his father was the lead singer for Jethro Tull, and his mother was rhesis monkey.

>>>I wonder what he sees in the mirror that makes him think that the ponytail, glasses, and stringy beard are attarctive. When you're only a pair of glasses and a shampoo away from looking like a homeless guy, it might be time to consider a new look.
Have I said one mean thing to you?!?!
Oh come on Ace - give yourself some credit. Based on your CPAC acceptance speech you're at least 15lbs and two weeks beard growth away from passing as a homeless dude.

They do make him look attarctive. But Attractive, NFW, unless you are comparing him to that dead-ape-in-a-crate from the Bigfoot post. Even then, you'd have to critically evaluate the dead ape's ass to be sure.

I only strut and fret ab out in the mud so I'm not sure that I am capable of understanding this high level abstract debate but at one point she mentions prisons. I think. But maybe that is only a metaphor or simile or something. anyway, the important thing is that they both care.

And you can tell this jackoff is a lifelong attention whore.
Twenty says at some point in his school days, he whipped out Little Billy and wizzed on a classroom floor. Hell, fifty says he did it in a church. And I'll go a thousand that he took a dump in Mom's living room at least once.

Just imagine the offspring the yeti and Deb Frisch could produce.
Wasn't the 1974 horror movie "It's Alive!" based upon this premise? You have just given me nightmares for weeks. Although given Frisch's sexuality, I can console myself with the idea of her being raped by Sasquatch as sort of funny.

The fact that you were able to get a video displaying the extent of the debate is impressive. The fact that this pot-smoking charlatan is a Professor at a University is not too surprising. No, these fraud failures are as common as the different flavors of massengale douches one would find in the lady's section of the local drug store.
It is amazing that Dr. Squigglesworth did not get his head caved in by one of the debaters, only to subdue him, please the crowd, and actually move on to a real debate (such as: "What is the best way to bash in the head of a frantic pot-smoking, hippie fraud-falure non-tenured professor who thinks he looks cool jumping about screaming like a Richard Gere with too many gerbils clawin'about?")

Cuz, I care about people. I love hearing college students saying "allyall". Marvelous, a grown man crying, or was that that coach...what do these people actually do for a living?
I once wrote a book about Nietzche's and Camus' episodes of giving each other purple nurples and the reception of such in Post-Structuralist Macedonia.
