Why MSCL Doesn't Make A Good College Essay

Post by Nostradamus » Oct 10th 2002, 10:37 am

Have you ever actually tried writing a brief but insightful synopsis of MSCL? Without plagiarizing any of the dozens of reveiws that have already been written? In one night? :o :o :o

I mean, I love MSCL, but IT HAS NO PLOT!!!

I mean, it does have a plot, obviously, but, but... you try summing it up in one neat little paragraph! :lol:

Oh, and remember to separate encoding from message from decoding from receiver from feedback... :roll:

Yeah, I know... I should have just ripped off "Angela's World" and been done with it, but nooo, I have to be a perfectionist and make it up myself, just on the thousand-to-one chance that my instructor visits this site...

Next time, I'm going with MacGyver -- Smart guy, gets in trouble, makes blow-torch out of bicycle, saves the day, THE END. :P :P :P

You do make me :D Nostradamus...

Try the Sparknotes Academic Paper Generator, located on http://www.thespark.com

that should come up with something highly interesting and insightful.

Oh, great, now you tell me! I just posted the paper! :wink:

That Generator does sound useful for future projects, though. I couldn't find it on The Spark -- maybe you could find the precise URL? Then again, I'm very sleep deprived right now, so maybe its staring me in the face... :P

Incidentally, with all you intellectual types out there, anyone else ever use MSCL for a paper? Just curious how you would've handled it... :idea:

I've just been for a look and you're right: it isn't there. They have removed it!

:? They must have got into trouble over it somehow. Or perhaps overuse blew up their server.

I relied on it for a year!

well, I never actually wrote a paper on MSCL. but it does seem like a good topic. I mean, look at how much we find to discuss here. I did, however, write 2 papers on Buffy. can you imagine having to research Buffy? poor me.

Hey emmie - I just started reading Fighting the Forces, so I would love to see your Buffy papers. If you would like to share them, that is.

:D

Wow, I didn't even know about FTF until you mentioned it. Have you read "The Individuated Hobbit" by, um, some scholar that I can't remember? The works of Tolkien as an illustration of Jungian Psychological theory... one of the triggers of my interest in philosophy, long rambling conversations about nothing, and 23! 8)

I haven't written any papers on Buffy or MSCL, but I did write a paper on Heathers for my satire class. I still love that movie!!
