I see it there. But Runner, what the heck is wrong with you? You've made the letters blue, and you forgot the umlauts. Or something.

LOL! I actually couldn't change the blue font color (I didn't care for that either...although, the blue font color WOULD be a compromise to yesterday's discussion of red/blue tide--"red tide" but in blue text). In any case, I will work on it tonight when I get home!

And Dakota, as discussed earlier, the kazoo is something people at UF would play. However, there is still an opening for the windchime, a second guitarist, that creepy high-pitched children's piano that always makes you think of haunted children marching down corn fields with their arms stretched out (or is this just me?), and a ribbon dancer to accompany caveman's interpretive dancing. And there soon may be an opening for lead vocalist, as Q might be out of our band as soon as she withdraws from UM (if that is indeed the case).

Guess that's what I get for not reading through all 97 pages or 2401 posts . . .

I think the windchime is the instrument most similar to the one at which I have the most skill (trombone) so I'll go with that.

The question is, am I allowed to shake it or do I just blow on it? Perhaps both?
 
McMD said:
damn, sorry Dakota...forgot the connection with the kazoo and UF. By the way Dakota..do the other schools you are considering have a band?...(I'm guessing No). 👎

The only other contender (NYU) does not have a band of which I am aware, so heck, why should they even still be in the running?

Well this was only a couple pages ago, but we'll forgive you. Windchime it is! And you can use your imagination to play it however you wish.

In other news, I would have thought that the first time my undergrad got its own tab on espn.com it would have been for something good. Guess I was WAY off.

P.S. Runner, you win my vote for the most kickass avatar in the history of avatars. Nicely done!

Yes...I can see it now, and the avatar is definitely kickass!! I'm glad I brought up the "Runner you need to change your avatar" topic....it has worked out nicely for the advertisement of the band.
 
Ok guys...tomorrow is Friday, which means I will be even more bored than usual at work. So I need a project...I'm modifying my avatar to promote our band, however I'm not a big fan of the blue flaming "&#340;ë&#273; &#356;ï&#273;ë" logo, so I whipped up a few just now. I think we should vote on which is the best temporary logo, and then I'll add it to the triangle pic. <--see this is what happens when you give up alcohol for lent <<sigh>>

 
So random question, but is "Rock you like a hurricane" the official song of UMiami? because if not, it should be. And let it be forewarned that I will be playing that song at every party I throw over the next four years (and mark my words, much beer will be consumed in my apartment)

I went to UM for one year for undergrad, and I can assure you, everyone plays Rock You Like a Hurricane 😉

Edit: I came up with a new logo...let me know what you think and if you guys want to change the logo to one of the ones I posted earlier.

It is the official theme song of the UM campus shuttle- the HurryCane. Yes. Puns are awesome.

Aaah...I remember the HurryCane. When I first got to UM as a freshman, I thought, "finally, I will be treated like an adult. This is going to be great--no more kids stuff." And then, I met the "HurryCane." Could there BE a more corny name?

Actually USF's is pretty cheezy (BullRunner) but nothing tops the Hurry Cane.

Hurrycane, that's a good one. 😉
 
lolllll "Ay papi'... Well the word "papi" is very strong and sensual in Spanish... honestly, it makes me melt when a girl calls me that lol.... It is also a very versatile word, and can be said with different "feelings" behind it...


Aside from MrBurns suggestion, I think your Spanish lyrics are excellent Unfrozen: Papanicolau (spanish for Pap Smear, and also the name of a building at UM).

lol... I'll go back to visualizing Runner striking a large triangle.

Also, I was thinking that [Red] Tide could use a Symbol Player... you know, to emphasize the transitions within the song. Let me know what you guys think.

The fact that "papi" is such a sensual word in spanish is part of what made me transition away from calling my father "papi." That was awkward...And I think you may be onto something with the cymbal. At first I thought it might be a bit too brass (pun intended), but I think a cymbal clanging out of left field (such as in between songs, in the middle of a song when it's uncalled for, and before the show even begins when the audience is least expecting it) might be a very powerful statement, particularly on the role of communism in an increasingly capitalistic world.

And just to clarify caveman's intentions with the pap smear line, a few pages back I said that the fact that UM has a building called Papanicolau is even more of a reason to go there. Thanks for reading every single post on this thread, yrodri. NOT!!
 
MrBurns10 said:
I gotta admit, I don't laugh out loud very often from things I read on here (not that things aren't funny, they're just usually more of an internal giggle), but I did at that picture, or at the very least, at the mental image of you actually playing a triangle that big. Red Tide/'Tide is so kick ass.

Hey now, Q will be there in Spirit!!!!!! :laugh: :laugh:

Nonetheless, Red Tide could always use more band members. :laugh: :laugh:

We need to get Burnsie to spice up your NC thread. 😉

I can't believe Burnsie is trying to kick me out of the band. 🙁 I am SO depressed.
Click to expand...
no! I wasn't trying to kick you out of the band, I was merely suggesting that you don't seem too enthusiastic about the band perhaps because you may be headed elsewhere and that maybe you're not interested in being our lead singer anymore...but you're still our vocalist as far as I'm concerned, dammit.

And I think we should name our first album "Papanicolau." What do you guys think?

Sounds good.
 
For what it's worth, I was trying to kick you out of the band-- the reasons for which will become clear when our Behind the Music airs. You, and your fancy PhD.

Papanicolau Rocks. With umlauts. 😀

caveman, I should have known. You've been trouble ever since I met you. 😡 :laugh:
 
Runner,

aww...i'd love to be your friend! I can't add you till I get home b/c websense is back up at work, and they disabled all of my proxies...grr!
 
Inflames-I just got home and saw the pic in your post! You're great! I couldn't see the pic at work and thought it was a link to your myspace page.
 
I musta missed something, I don't get the whole car picture thing....
 
Oh Mc! Welcome back--haven't seen you in a few days 😉

Inflames was just asking if I'd be his friend b/c of the W stickers on his car (he saw my MySpace). Ok, let's not talk politics--I like how we have a non-political thread going.

Mc - did you go to the FAU thing this wknd?
 
ooooh i know, i know...<raises hand> pick me, pick me! its the Bush stickers on the car isn't it?

Haha yes I was referring to the stickers. It wasn't really anything about politics ... more like just something that we have in common I guess.

It's finally into the 50's here in Ohio. That deserves a "woot sauce" outta this guy.
 
Hey guys.

I got a long trunk... does that.. ahh damnit, never mind, not my best stuff. In any case, Add me on myspace. yasser rodriguez.... look it up - look for the angry cuban guy pushing away a camera.
 
I just checked my Miami status page and it's now changed the message. It says:

Final Balloting:

Your file, along with your interview report, has been forwarded to the Admissions Committee for an admissions decision. Just as soon as they reach a decision you will be informed of the outcome by the Office of Admissions.

How long were you all in the Final Balloting process? Oh, I'm so nervous! 😕

That's what your message changes to after your interview. I remember that mine changed to Final Balloting before the committee meeting. Don't worry--I'm sure you'll be fine 😉

No, I didn't go to the FAU wknd. I really wanted to, but with the wedding coming up, I really couldn't sacrifice the $200+ for travel/hotel, etc. So, instead, my fiance and I went to the beach with friends and watched guys with big beer bellies and no shirts walk around until we were about to throw up. :laugh:

I have been around, but haven't been posting, just reading. I've been really busy lately and have only had a few minutes each day to read the posts. Ok, back to looking at stained cells for the next 10 hours 😴
 
UF was very impressive throughout the tournament. That having been said, that was the least I think I've ever cared about the men's championship game. And tonight's game is the most I've ever cared about a women's championship game. Go Duke!
 
Yea it was a snoozer... a savage beatdown - UCLA should have filed a police report at halftime... can we say, blocked shots?

Man, I'm in class right now... learning about aging in skin and joints.. God, how boring... so apathetic. lol.
 
Let me preface this by first saying, this could quite possibly be the most ******ed question asked in this thread. However, I'm an idiot when it comes to financial stuff, so here goes:

I've been trying to figure out the whole loan thing, and I was wondering why people don't mortgage their house in order to pay for med school (if the mortgage interest rates are lower). Is it because a mortgage has to be taken out all at once and starts accruing interest at the very beginning (where as with educational loans, we would be taking out a little each year and deferring payment until the end? with interest not accuring on the subsidized part)?

Also--I am bored out of my mind at work. Anyone have anything interesting ideas for entertainment?
 
Wow--this is so cool (well I'm quite the dork, so I like these kind of things...):

On Wednesday of this week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 AM, the time and date will be

01:02:03 04/05/06

That won't ever happen again in your lifetime; unless you make it to 2106.


You may now return to your normal life.

I think that's cool to know. I remember going for a piano lesson when I was a kid, and my teacher commenting to me that it was 8-8-88, and how that would never happen again in our lifetimes. :meanie:
