Artist Wins £20,000 Grant To Study Women's Butts
Sue Williams has been awarded a £20,000 grant by the Arts Council of Wales, to "explore cultural attitudes towards female buttocks." Sue plans to examine racial attitudes towards bottoms in Europe and Africa and create plaster casts of women's behinds to try to understand their place in contemporary culture. And here I've been studying the issue all these years for free like a sucker!
I like big grants and I can not lie
You other post-docs can't deny
That when a sponsor walks in with a stupid-ass proposal
A fat wallet at your disposal
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that purse was stuffed
Full of the cash you're needing
I'm hooked and I can't stop spending
Baby's got cash
Baby's got cash
Little in tha middle but she got big backers

This just keeps getting better!
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Please tell me that they have a PhD program in this. I will be the bestest student ever.
I got dibs on breasts.

...it's Sir Mix A Lot, he's done a study too apparently.
My theory is there is a relationship between butts and breasts:
Women with the nicest butts have smaller breasts.
Women with larger breasts have pudgier butts.
Women with larger breasts *and* the nicest butts have fake breasts.
My guess on the outcome of the study is that all straight men like looking at women's butts.
That'll be 20k please. :)
There is no honor in accepting gifts to study women's derriere. A cavalier does this pro deo and pro patria. Indeed I do so vigorously and relentlessly.
I am among a very secret an tightly knit circle of experts. Currently 3 x 10^9 members pertain to this club. We recognize each other by a prurient grin on our faces.
If anything, differences in skin, religion and culture intensify our bond as we admire in reverend awe every single instance. (However, when our duties are accomplished we might take up where we left and proceed with cracking each other's sculls.)
Now I shall drink tea whilst adopting the erected wee finger position.
To women's backsides we all cheer hooray!

Fewer if you factor in cover charge, and drinks. Just stay out of the VIP room.

I always wanted to study abroad, but now he gets paid for it? Neat!
I believe this is what the call a stimulus package... or do I have that backwards? :P
Don't rush me, Sonny. You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles.
When I was a pimply, hormone-addled teen going thru puberty, I could identify every female in my high school, from behind, at a distance of up to a quarter mile.
Despite the prevalence of ultra-tight acid-washed jeans in the early 80's, my skill didn't rely solely on shape, oh no. A detailed analysis of cyclic ambulatory gluteal displacement was key to identification.
I thought I was the only one who had this talent, until much later when I learned it is actually common. (Same goes for the "mental VCR," aka spankbank, but that's another story.)
Is this going to be a part of the study?
I can see the fnords!
I would think given how there are laser 3D scanners, they'd just do scans
You don't get to spread lasers on thousands of female rear ends by hand.

It's in the Astronomy class. Look under the topic of Uranus.
Because it's for SCIENCE!!! You know, Buttology! Er, Assology? Derrieratrics? Hmm....

I'm sorry; I don't know what I was thinking!
Black guys like the biggest asses. White guys like smaller asses. Asian guys like the smallest asses.
Can I have 20K now?

You say butt over here and you'll just get laughed at
This is my biggest fear, meaning to say something serious about a butt in the UK and getting laughed at.
Wish that i could 'bum' around all day -- but i guess i'd end up looking like an 'ass', because i'd be the 'butt' of so many jokes. It's a bum job, but someone has to do it. Guess he's doing it for 'posterior'ity.
