You're both in trouble when Cala finds out about that blog.

As it happens, I know of a creative writing job in Chicago that pays about $65k/year and has gone unfilled for about a month.

And all you have to do to find out about it is sleep with ogged. (We've all tried that at some point, ogged.)

um, Ogged, if you're serious about that creative writing job, do you mind giving me your contact info or giving your info to Ben to give to me? Ben could buy a lot of crystal meth with 65k a year.

Claire Huxtable was just a TV character, B. Her real name was Phylicia.

Threadjack: I have to teach moral luck tomorrow, and I want to do some sort of classroom exercise. The reading is a short section of their textbook which outlines some basic features of the concept and Nagel's essay of the same name.

So what should I do in class?

Bonus question: Is "bringing everybody down" a legitimate pedagogical goal for a philosophy class?

Ask them why it matters for our evaluation of the blameworthiness of a drunk driver who drives off the road whether someone happened to be walking in that location at that time.

That's too easy. Besides, I prefer to focus on constitutive moral luck. "Is it my fault I'm too lazy to improve myself?"

Perhaps I should use the New York article in the post above. Is it this kids fault he was praised too much and now gives up easily?

No, as a matter of fact, I believe it's your mom's fault.

I was thinking of this order. They require a vow of poverty, so I guess the pay is minimal.
