The sins of Memphisto...

An older woman who goes after young men is called a Cougar right?
So if an older man goes after young boys, does that mean he's a Nittany Lion??

Well if you're familiar with the lyrics of that particular tune, it's no coincidence I named the thread for that song.

But the dean is a stand up guy. Paterno fired? That took guts to do. Keystoners think that coach walked on water, wanted him to run for public orifice, err, office. Have to admire doing the right thing even if its sorta late in the game.

Hey! You! Catholic Pope, there are more than a few bishops and cardinals that need to be turned over to the authorities. Take a lesson on the right thing to do, why don't you?

He wrote "Sins of Memphisto" as one of the fill in songs. He had the phrase "exactly odo Quasimoto" for years and hadn't had a song that it fit into. This was it.

As for the Penn State thing, Sandusky should be put away for life and castrated. Joe Paterno got what he deserved. He knew a 10 year old boy had been molested by his assistant and continued to stand next to the guy on the sidelines for 9 years.
Well first as the thread starter, I only meant to tell a joke I heard at work that made me laugh - not intending to open up a controversy about a host of social & political issues.

The song sure seems to be about lust, which is also what the joke is about.
