Please allow me to answer this one!!!! *ahem* (oh wait, doesn't that
ruin vocal cords?!? *shrugs*)

Shouryu, being an extremely sarcastic person, has adapted a method for
everyone to learn basic methods of responding sarcastically. Of course,
many times, his lessons are, how would you say, unrequested? *s* Just
kidding... well, at any rate, I have given him the title of the Professor
of Sarcasm, because he is very... excited to teach everyone that "Yes, you
TOO can be as sarcastic as the Shour-Man!!!" And well, at New Mexico
State, not EVERY introductory class is labeled 101... so, in keeping with
the spirit of the great state of New Mexico and with the great educational
establishment of NMSU, I have dubbed his "class" SCSM (sarcasm, not Super
Colloso Sado Masochism!!!! *Huge grin!!!*) 102. I hope that makes sense.

If I remember correctly, there was an exchange where someone asked me if,
in one of my posts, I was responded sarcastically to something, which I
was. And of course, Shouryu, in his... unique way of responding, posts
something exceedingly sarcastic, and to this, I responded that I was not
the sarcastic one, but instead "my roommate is. He is the Professor of
SCSM 102 here at NMSU" (paraphrased as best as I can remember!!). Okay,
so now that I have overkilled the explanation, I will wind this post up.

(Side note): Mr. Leeson, this title was given to Shouryu during your
trip, IIRC.
