From a reader:

Jonah,
I had a professor Schlie(pronounced SHLEE) in grad school who, instead of using a textbook, handed out stacks of photocopied articles to read each week. The stacks were so thick (over 4 inches) that one time we had to get them from the trunk of his car in the parking lot. The reading material became known among students as the “Schlie-Stack.”
When I tell this anecdote, only about 10% of the listeners ever get it. I get so frustrated, I want to shoot somebody with my mini-slingshot-crossbow.
Color me GEEK.
