See? This is why I didn't get a 43 on my MCAT...I get a headache whenever I think too hard.QofQuimica said:
Kind of like last weekend...I was driving to Georgia with my mom and at the beginning of our trip she said: "What is a common road sign that has one word containing 5 letters, 2 syllables, with the first syllable being the opposite of the second?" Can you guys figure it out? I couldn't.
ok, I've got it now, through the powers of deductive cheating.
Still lost on the road signs.
Still lost on the road signs.
The sad thing is that I don't know the answer...she just heard it on some program that never gave the solution, so I was banking on all you intelligent Floridians (and you too, caveman) to come up with it.unfrozencaveman said:
Hey, I'm from Florida. That's why I got that interview at UF.
haha, that was a joke. Supposedly in reference to you not being intelligent. I rest my case 🙂unfrozencaveman said:
Sigh...I'm a resident and UF doesn't love me. Oh well, I'm a FSU fan at heart. Go Noles!
And I hope you know I'm just kidding. You're the smartest caveman I know, dammit.
Yes yes- I took the retaliatory low blow approach. Get it? Get it? Imagine me elbowing you and winking.
I've always loved it when you wink at me like that.unfrozencaveman said:
I just realized I have contributed absolutely nothing of subtance to this thread in quite some time. Well, except for a riddle here and there and some form of neanderthal bashing. Oh, if only I had real friends!!

what does it mean to be on miami's ranked list?
It means something to someone, and unfortunately, that someone is not you. It's definitely not a helpful distinction when you have no idea where you are on the list, but hey, it's not a rejection, so there is good reason to hope.

It's not a road sign. Here is the actual puzzle (from NPR):MrBurns10 said:
Take a familiar brand name, seen along roads and highways in the United States. It has five letters, two syllables. The first syllable, phonetically, is a word that is the opposite of the word spelled by the second syllable. What brand name is it?
If you figure it out, send it to NPR Sunday Puzzle by tomorrow. G'luck.
ahhhh. thanks for the clarification! No wonder I wasn't getting anywhere with U-Turn and Yield...QofQuimica said:
Yeah! All I kept thinking about all day was this girl I knew in high school whose last name was Noyes. Didnt get past "yield" though myself....
Ok medgirl?, I give up. You win. I lose. You're intelligent, I'm intellectually lacking. You're fun, I'm boring. You're good-looking, I'm unattractive. Now PLEASE tell us the answer!gujuDoc said:
So yeah, umm...anyone else miss the Adventures of Gumby and Pokey?
Laminated? Smithers, how am I going to do the Junior Jumble?

FYI, I've started c/o 2010 threads for USF and UF if anyone is interested. There is a Class Thread subforum in the main allopathic forum.
Guys...we were on page 3. That is unacceptable. We must maintain the best thread on SDN, dammit! I'll start.
Hmm...
Whatever happened to bwells46? Bwells, if you're out there...how are you doing? You met my boyfriend at EVMS last Friday. Did you like the school?
I can't really think of anything else to say except I Love You, Chris Simms!!!

MrBurns10 said:
One of my friends got the call last week for his interview at USF. That's all. 😀
Said friend is a classmate of mine and was real nervous about whether they'd get an interview or not because it is the top choice for this person. So that's real exciting.
Just thought I'd share.
Oh and other then that............USF gals rock the world. See Random thread in MCAT forum to know what that is referencing.

I've already told Burnsie the answer, but since medgirl is now AWOL, I will now share it with the rest of you. It's CITGO. SIT-GO. Get it?MrBurns10 said:
Here's the puzzle again, in case you forgot what it was:
Take a familiar brand name, seen along roads and highways in the United States. It has five letters, two syllables. The first syllable, phonetically, is a word that is the opposite of the word spelled by the second syllable. What brand name is it?
**************
Ok, so the next puzzle is a chem one. 😀 Give it a shot:
Write down these two chemical symbols, on the first line write LI, for lithium, and FE for iron. Underneath write NE for neon. And AR for Argon. Reading across you get the four letter words, life and near. And reading down you get, line and fear, completing a miniature word square composed only of chemical symbols. The object is to create a 3X3 square, composed of nine chemical symbols, in which each of the three rows across and each of the columns down, spells a word. You may use either one letter or two letter chemical symbols, but the idea is to use as many two letter ones as possible. Only un-capitalized words are allowed. Our source for acceptable words will be Merriam-Webster 11th Collegiate Dictionary.
Again, if you get the answer, you can submit it to NPR. G'luck.
P.S. Someone here besides caveman and me has got to come hang out in the FL class threads (in the subforum for Allopathic). We have threads for USF, UF, and Miami, so please, consider yourselves personally invited to join us. We're both feeling very lonely in there by ourselves, and if you don't come hang out with us, we may get desperate soon and initiate a FL allopathic schools rumble.

I hope you studied for your exam, Burnsie.MrBurns10 said:
MrBurns10 said:
Would you believe that my entire life up until when I went to Georgetown, I thought the redskins were from Washington state? That discovery has totally thrown me off. Anyway, no such luck for the Fins today. Damn you, Brady. Ok, I didn't mean that. No, I'll be back in Boston later in the week. Yes, I'll call you. Oh, you left some pants at my apartment. Ok, I'll bring them by. What?
Oh, sorry guys, I didn't realize anyone was in here.

Well, it's something you see along a highway, so it had to be a hotel, a gas station, or a fast food restaurant. Since you don't normally see hotels along city streets, that only leaves the other two categories. The only five-letter 2-syllable restaurant name I could think of is Arby's, which doesn't work.gujuDoc said:
Q,
Wow when I was hearing brandname, gas stations didn't even pop into my mind. That's a real tricky one. But a goody.
Gas stations could be Mobil, Exxon....or Citgo. 🙂 Ok, so someone needs to figure out this chem puzzle for me. I haven't tried it yet.
Actually, those were my pants.unfrozencaveman said:
P.S. Tom Brady is a little too much of a pretty-boy for my tastes. Mmm...Ben Roethlisberger. but I gotta admit, Chad Johnson beats them all.

easy girls, easy. You're getting the floor wet with all of this drooling.MrBurns10 said:
P.S. Who are all of these guys, anyway?
-I'll take Professional Football players I'd like to do for $1000, Alex.QofQuimica said:
-Ok. Name two professional football players you'd like to do.
-Ben Roethlisberger and Chad Johnson.
-Oh I'm sorry, we cannot accept that answer. It needed to be in the form of a question.
-F*** you, Alex!
Speaking of which, does anyone watch Wheel of Fortune anymore?
Citgo! I knew it had to be a gas station. I forgot about Citgo.
Anyway, in my zeal for getting into situations in which people ask me questions about myself and me wanting them to like me and accept me, I just accidentally got myself sequestered into a jury.

For two years running I had a theory that the more people on a team that were named "Johnson", the better the team was (see, Tampa Bay, superbowl). Then I changed over to a "hottest quarterbacks" system, which works great too.

Just do what I do...pretend you're a raging white supremacist who hates everyone who voted for Kerry and everyone who doesn't see every Nascar race in the South.unfrozencaveman said:
Works every time.
MrBurns10 said:
I tried that route. I can't say anything about it- just know that the trial actually peripherally involves monster trucks. And no, I'm not kidding. Florida!

They tried to do that to me. I got into an argument with the prosecutor about what the meaning of "possible" is. Needless to say, I was dismissed. 😀unfrozencaveman said:
Funnily enough, there were two docs from Miami Miller with me on there- who were way too wiley to get picked for much the same kind of reason.
Sweet! I wanted to go to a monster truck rally once when I was a kid at the old Tampa Stadium. Thank goodness my mom didn't take me.unfrozencaveman said:
Also, reminds of the Strong Bad e-mail where he becomes the announcer for a monster truck rally:
Sunday! Sunday! Someday! Thrill as The Cheat attempts to jump the tire over the KOT eating a cardboard box covered in SYRUP!! Adult Admission just 5 dollars...Kids and old people not allowed!!!
Seriously, kill me. I hope I get fangoriously devoured by a gelatinous monster (if we're doing strongbad references).

I have no idea what you girls are talking about, but I'm sure if I did, it would be funny.
PS- downtown Miami is weird. I always wondered what went on down here.
We learned many new words today. Gelatinous...Fangoriously...linebackerunfrozencaveman said:
Q, go to www.homestarrunner.com then click on Strong Bad e-mail. It's a hilarious cartoon where a character Strong Bad answers various e-mails. I have too many favorites, but ones you should check out first are Dragon (with Trogdor the Burninator), Children's Book (quoted by caveman and me here), the Stunt Double.
ok, lunch break is over and unfortunately, I didnt meet an untimely end in this starbucks.
