Rorschach on Prime Time

There are excellent perks to having friends who've created a t.v. show -- finally, Rorschach (the Brenneis family's loyal black lab, may she rest -- or sprint through the living room endlessly -- in peace) has attained fame on "How I Met Your Mother."

On tonight's episode, Wesleyan insiders were treated not only to Carter and Craig cameos, but also to a lawyer and his firm named after five of Wesleyan's dorms: "Clark Butterfield, of Nicholson, Hewitt and West." Nice. Serious insiders may have noticed that the corporate dude running the dating service was named "Bob Rorschach." Awesome.

Not since David Letterman read viewer mail (I believe the text of which was "What's the deal with Oprah?") from Sara Brennis (sic) of Madison, Wisconsin have I felt so famous by association. When I'm a bigwig Spanish Professor, boys, I'll coin a new literary theory in your honor -- how about baysthomas historiographic emplotment? Or tomtomlordhavemercy isochronic dialogue? It's the least I can do.
