As is often the case with my posts, they may be tiresome and unfunny but they're usually not totally out of left field.

The story took place in Faber, Pa. The tone was founded by pencil magnate Emil Faber (whose statue has the inscription, "Knowledge is good&quot . He chose the location because of the plentiful wild eraser root.

I don't think any of the movie was shot there. As I recall, all the campus scenes were filmed at University of Oregon.

Every other Dean that read it refused to let them film it at their school. It was supposed to feel "ivy league-y".
