Grads should use 'Rules' loophole to sponsor return of Nude Olympics

Always avoid anyone who employs excessive or otherwise annoying alliteration. This maxim, grounded as it is in the indisputable principles of continental hermeneutics, has served me well over the years.For one thing, it prevented me from supporting the candidacy of George W.
