Recently I noticed a lot of new people are starting to sit in the back row on a regular basis, you know who you are. That’s fine, you are all welcome, however just because someone sits in the back row, that doesn’t make them part of the Back Row Mafia. For you see, to be part of this family you have to do more than just sit with us, you should feel privileged to even be allowed to sit here, trust us, if we wanted to we could make sure you could never sit here again. So some of you might wonder, what does it take to be part of the Back Row Mafia. Very good question indeed. To meet the criteria of a Back Row Mafia member you have to sit in the back row and have at least 5 of the following requirements, one of which must be #4.
1. You have been sitting in the back row at least since 3rd week of Block 1.
2. When you have a question you don’t raise your hand but instead yell out the question really loud (however questions are always about lecture material and no more than 2 questions per lecture).
3. You identify yourself as, or regarded by other to be, “foreign”.
4. You are not a Back Row Baller, nor have you ever supported their blog, been a guest blogger on their blog, told them their blog is the best, or given them hugs.
5. Your favorite movie is at least one of the following; The Godfather, Scarface, Goodfellas, Casino, Once Upon a Time in America, Pulp Fiction, Desperado, or Heat.
6. You can’t stand people who ask lots of pointless and irrelevant questions.
7. Rarely showing up to class on time, must be at least 10 minutes late.
8. You have written at least one blog entry on this blog.
9. Giving Mariam a hard time on a daily basis.

It looks like I don't technically meet criteria to be a Back Row Mafia member . . . you got me on criterion number 4. No one's perfect, I guess. I think I make up for it by giving Mariam a hard time just about all the time, so maybe I could be deemed an honorary gangsta?
of course Jack, your a G for sure!
You know, although I think it's important to continue to belabor Mariam on a daily basis, I think it is important to note that she is a woman of much wisdom. Perhaps of enough wisdom to qualify as "Mother of Back Row Mafia." Really, she sat next to me yesterday, bc she likes me, I think, and gave me a very stern lecture on how I should treat and behave with other girls, almost as if she was my mother. It was akward but very educational. Yes, so she deserves this.
Thanks Roman - I am always here for you if you need more advice about the womens. They are a confusing bunch. xoxo, your mom in Toledo
