Thank you for this. It sounds much better, even, than the Ali G. one a couple of years ago.

And I love the comment on the “winky moose.” My undergraduate graduation was all in Latin. Delivered by a short-termed new president with a thick Southern accent: atrocious. Lots of rising and sitting. And I remember that “Sedete” came out like “Say-DAAAAAAY-tay” (y’all).

Hmm. Maybe I picked the wrong commencement to sit out…

Thanks, Marie.

Thank you for the lovely recap, Marie. She sounds every bit as wonderful as I imagine her to be. I’m glad you got to experience this.
