Welcome to Barking Carnival, the greatest online learning institution East of Phoenix. Here you have the opportunity to increase your knowledge in not only matters of the world, but more importantly, UT football.
With the Fantake empire gaining readership by the day and preparing steadfastly for a reverse acquisition of Google, I figured we'd come up with a test to sort of vet out 'not our standard' types. Luckily, many of you will be grandfathered in. Especially srr50, who I think is an actual real life grandfather. Follow him on twitter @shitmygrandpasays.
By studying here you'll learn that lawyers have a whole lot more down time than John Grisham would have you believe and the logical reasoning about why for the most part Will Muschamp got a temporary pass for this season's misery. Longhorn football 2010 was like having to bang Kathy Bates every night for four months.
Please remember one thing: we might not be your cup of tea. In fact, we're not tea at all. We're three fingers of an 18 yr. single malt served in a smoke-filled back room by a timeless beauty who doesn't mind being patted on the ass and called 'Toots.'
So you may be wondering how one gains entry into our tight-knit community of doctors, lawyers, reverse mortgage brokers, independently wealthy heirs, Zeta cartel members, misogynists, and clergymen. I still wonder myself, since an intern is publishing this and the tote bag has yet to arrive in the mail. Just take the test below then submit your score in the comments. Who knows, you might be the next big thing on the Internet. Chip Brown 2011, imo.

9.
Train A leaves a station in Norman, Oklahoma at 7 a.m and is travelling 57 mph. In order to make the 365 mile trek to Austin before noon the conductor will increase the speed by 5 mph every 30 minutes.
Train B leaves College Station, Texas, at 9 a.m with the same goal in mind. Since the distance is only 110 miles the conductor feels no need to rush things. Starting off at 32 mph and increasing speed at half the rate of Train A will also allow for a pre noon arrival.
Assuming Train A isn't held up at arrowpoint, and that Train B doesn't get sidetracked at a Waco Luby's, what time will the trains arrive in Austin?Answers:
1) a.
2) e.
3) b.
4) e.
5) b or c. Brickhorn is a lawyer.
6) c, not enough information. Situational awareness allows for both usages. For exapmple: If given the opportunity to chase dirt leg with the football team, never out yourself as a white person by saying 'converse.' Conversely, unless one is trying to land a job in the rap industry, steer clear of 'conversate,' despite what parlin tells you.
7) e.
8) a. Though his ownership of 'b' is quite disturbing.
9) d. Unless Hucklberry states otherwise.
