At first I was insulted to hear this term referring to the Ph.D. degree. Then I decided to reframe and own the phrase as reflecting my life at 52 years -- full of experiences, rich in relationships, and now achieving a dream. Ah, yes. Sometimes my own depth startles me. But at the end of my first semester, the true meaning is unromantically clear: "Piled High and Deep" refers to the astronomical stack of books and articles I will have to plow through in order to finish. Oy!
So Chuck, where we headin' tonight?
International Cheese Festival and Monster truck rally? You're kidding, right? 
Okay! Chick flick and art museum! Yeah! You're the best!

Be then thine own home, and in thyself dwell; Inn anywhere; continuance maketh hell. And seeing the snail, which everywhere doth roam, Carrying his own house still, still is at home; Follow—for he is easy paced—this snail, Be thine own palace, or the world's thy gaol. ~John Donne

LOL! That sounds hilarious to me, too! I can just picture it.
Theme park pictures -- we'd always examine ours but not buy unless they were too good to pass up. One shows me and the three weird sisters with the identical wide-open smiling scream as the Hulk supercoaster flings us around like dishrags.
The other's from the Tower of Terror. Kara and I look as complacent as two ladies at high tea, Sam looks apprehensive, but at the back, in a jump seat, is Sarah looking abjectly terrified and clinging for her dear life to the next seat.
