That's Dedication, BABY!

Were you watching Monday Night Football and see the Bills fan so dedicated (AKA CRAZY!) that he waxed two sections of his chest--one for the Bills buffalo and the other spot was written ESPN? Well, he certainly made it on tv....probably has frost bite for his dumbass standing without a shirt in 30F--22F with the windchill....

brrrrrrrr....glad I'm here on my couch in my fuzzy, flannel pj's...

Procrasinators/Slackers/Grad students Unite!

On Mondays I have a two classes and tutorial. So my tutorial group is standing in the hall waiting to go into the classroom...planning the best way to stretch out discussion about today's lecture, as we all realize that none of us has really done the 5 article readings that we assigned.

Nothing like the fear of being called on to recap an 10 page unread article to unite us into a game plan more intricate than any in the NFL...

OMFG...ARE YOU SERIOUS????

So, I'm watching the news and the top story:

Local NJ councilman was reprimanded for peeing on a crowd.

WTF?!?!?

Apparently, he was at a concert (Yanni perhaps?), sitting in the balconey and (I'm guessing) couldn't make it to the men's room and decided that the next best thing was to relieve himself onto the people below.

Don't know about you, but if I were his constituent, next election I'd be voting for the other guy...

See? See? I'm Not the Only One Who Noticed!!

I have a professor who does a lot of work on naturally occurring arsenic levels in soil and drinking water. One of the highest areas in the country is in New Hampshire, where he wanted to go and do studies on blood levels in residents to see how much they are absorbing from the water but decided on Maine. Why? Because

"have you ever seen a NH license plate? It says "live free or die" and they live by that! when you ask them to participate, they say no!"

See! I'm NOT the only person who noticed!!

Take That Punkass!

So we're on the bus home and these 3 teenagers get on, one of which does't have fare and is begging the bus driver to let him on. It's raining, it's cold, the bus driver--i think--is about to agree...when his punkass friend walked to the front, grabbed his friend and said "just get on--he can't do anything."

well "he" turned OFF the bus and we sat there--with EVERYONE staring at the boys while the driver explained he's not going anywhere until the fare jumper and his disrespectful friend got off his bus. and there we sat...for a good 5 minutes until off in the distance police sirens could be heard...

needless to say, the fare jumper (who apologized), the punkass (who fled), and the other kid (who apologized) got off the bus....and along we went.

i wanted to applaud, but in a moment everyone went back to reading/listening to their ipod, talking, and soon the moment was gone.

GOOD ON YA! MR. BUS DRIVER!!!! :)

Where's Sister Maria When You Need Her?

Today I realized the importance of ipods on the train...when 9 teenagers came into my car (and by my car, I mean, the car in which I am sitting).

Now teenagers are loud anyway and there are no seats for them so they are all standing in the middle of the aisle, congregrated around one poor man, whom I believe I saw turning up his ipod.

Not that it would have helped, as all of a suddened they broke out into singing:

do mi re fa mi so fa la so ti la do mi re fa mi so fa la so ti la do mi re fa mi so fa la so ti la do....

over and over and what? are you kidding me? now they're singing in rounds! great. i'm sick and want to just be at home in bed, cuddling with the pupcicle, and here I am--stuck on the local train, making alllll stops, with the deliquent von Trapp children.

oi.

I Talk Good!!!

so apparently, I'm a little tired.

Last night while Brie and I were closing, rather than saying "keep bringing 'em (aka the dishes) to me"--i SHOUT...not talk loudly, not emphasize, but shout: "KEEP BRINGING ME 'UMMMMM"

wow. of course once Brie stopped laughing and could breathe and wiped the tears from her face, she acknowledged that might have been this best thing that has ever come out of my mouth.

Personally, I think perhaps she hit her head a bit hard when she fell UP the down escalator...I guess only time will tell...
