"We'd give the devil a SSHRC grant if his dossier was good enough!"

In considering applying for this grant, I have the uneasy feeling that I'm batting out of my league(oh, look, she's using a sports metaphor whose meaning she deduced without knowing anything about sports!).

In absolutely every quantifiable category, I am quite a bit below the average SSHRC winner. I'll probably apply anyway, though, because, oh well, why the f**k not?


PS: I saw a walking shark on the news. It was fantastic.

PPS: Why the heck do people pronounce "SSHRC" "shirk", when clearly, they have the option of pronouncing it "shark"? Stupid! Stupid!
