They look like R's to me
Aug 4, 2011 I often thought about the "In Perfect Cursive" scene from Billy Madison as I addressed the wedding invites (shown above).
In sum, the scene begins with Billy drawing an inappropriate picture in class when his teacher, Veronica Vaughn, asks him to write baseball terminology in cursive on the blackboard. After writing "dugout" and "bunt" in perfect cursive, Veronica throws Billy a curve ball (pun intended) by asking him to write the name Rizzuto. Billy confidently writes the R and the i, but when he gets to the lowercase z, he just squiggles through it.
"Rirruto?" Veronica asks.
"Those are z's," Billy retorts.
"They look like r's to me," she says.
Getting through our guest list occurred in much the same manner. I'd squint at my computer screen at the next guest on my list, scanning both the names and the address. "Oh, another Roby or Schuchard. That's easy to write." I'd think to myself. When I'd get to someone whose name wasn't as familiar to write, I'd think, "Oh well, they live in Iowa or, say, Nebraska. This one should be easy enough." Because I wrote out state names in their entirety, I thought that states such as Massachusetts might throw off my cursive. "Massachusetts has nothing on me," I told myself as I wrote the ss's a bit sideways. "That looks pretty good!."
Then I came to the name Fr. Al Krzyzopolski and stared at it for over a minute. "I can't even pronounce that," I reasoned. "How am I supposed to write it with my calligraphy pen?"
That's when I thought of Billy Madison and how my z's really just looked like r's. It's okay, the invites are all addressed and ready to mail.
Well, after we lick the envelopes closed and wash down the glue taste down with a glass of wine!

"The Apprentice " is a 15-episode unscripted drama in which 16 candidates from all walks of life, including both Ivy League MBA graduates and street entrepreneurs with no college education, will endure rigorous tasks each week while living together in a hip Manhattan loft apartment. The tasks will test their intelligence, chutzpah and street-smarts. They will face the challenges of living in close quarters and must compete sometimes humorous but always difficult job assignments and will be forced to think outside the box in order to outshine each other to get to the top. Upon their arrival to New York City (some for the very first time), the 16 candidates will be rushed over to Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump, the centerpiece and driving force of this series. After splitting the group into two teams of 8, Trump then issues the first task. Teams will be given time constraints for each.Season after season, the players or characters in The Apprentice Seasons DVD Boxset appear to be people who you'd absolutely love to hate.
