And another fine member is added to the Thursday Bar......................Welcome - your joke was good too.
Yes - welcome Pat. Hopefully Orc will be on his best behavior (whatever that is![]()
) - for a while anyway. It would be a shame to scare you off! Maybe the barkeep can just lock him in L&F for a while.

Thanks, Gini and Ellie! And I'm looking forward to seeing whatever Orc is.
I'm glad you liked the joke, Gini. I bet that professor hauled that out for every class of first-time students. It helped demystify the university world for the 300 or so newly-minted freshies including me in that lecture hall that day!
I get the idea that line is well known in the graduate student world. I pet-sit on occasion for a grad student in mathematics here at the University of Michigan, and she has a paperback book entitled "Piled Higher and Deeper," full of grad-student cartoons.

Let's just say that Orc is the resident troublemaker.
Hey barkeep. Do you have a picture of Orc so Pat can see what the little devil looks like - or has he destroyed all the cameras too?![]()

Yes to both the tea and the pancakes, please! I've got some maple syrup ....
As for the Orc - it is a species of underworldly character from the J.R.R. Tolkein books - here's a statue of one from the Lord of the Rings movies:

Just to ease concerns about the Orc....
He responds to command from a remote control collar. The only problems that REALLY come in is when David lets him have his own remote.![]()
