My mom made me apply to Iowa State... that's in Ames, isn't it? Ames, IA my foot. I'll show you Ames, IA. It's before Pa'ia.

Wow. I never knew accusing someone of being from Iowa was so offensive. I actually applied to the school in Iowa, too. We could have been PBL buddies there, roaming the corn fields.

Disclosure: I actually spent the first 5 years of my life living in the northwest corner of Iowa--outside of a town with approximately 12 residents named Spink. Even at age 4 I knew that Iowa was no place to live.

hehe. The only things I know about IA are that 1) Their state fair is a great state fair, 2) It smells when you drive through there.

My mom just wanted me to go to Iowa State because she wanted me to be at a college in the midwest -- I sure showed her when I went to Arizona and ended up in med school in, oh, crap...

Why?
 

Maybe her mom has a thing for the stereotypical strapping young Midwestern farmhand glistening with sweat as he walks out of the corn fields past the local learnin' center and assumed Ashers shared the feeling?

If this were the case I would love for her to meet examples of a fine Midwest upbringing like Splat, Gimlet, Prowler, and myself. That would cure her real fast.
 

Because she wanted me to apply to colleges near family (IA was close enough to IL since I refused to apply to any school in IL -- too close to family). I was also forced to apply to the U of AZ.

My mom was once engaged to a guy in Clinton, IL (her hometown), but when he broke off the engagement, she moved to CA, and married an orthopod from AZ my grandma thought was "Mexican" because could tan.

doesn't Iowa stand for Idiots Out Walking Around?


I'm sure you've never heard that one before.

WIN BIG NONEXISTENT PRIZE!!! Guess the moon landing mission this picture is from and the name of the astronaut on the rover.
 
I might have it on video. Definitely have it on DVD, but it's a region 2.

Guess who hacked his spare DVD player to become a region-free player just a few weeks ago... 😉

guess who just alerted the automated Illegal DVD Hacking Commission's Internet Monitoring System.

pretty sure the FBI, CIA, and the terrorists are on the way over. They joined forces against evildoers like you.

Oh, snap. Better clear the ol' hard drive before they get an idea of what other nefarious plots I have brewing over here.

By the way, can anyone explain to me why the heck there was ever a need for region protection on DVDs? It doesn't have anything to do with the Euros using the PAL framerate, does it? I'm much more inclined to believe that it was the government's evil plan to keep a brother down, just like putting AIDs in KFC chicken.
 
My patient is a cranky face. 🙁

you need to find a way to get through to him/her. a good long look at the person's records, perhaps some delving into their personal life through any other connections you may find, should provide you with enough information to cut them where it hurts the most. delve into their past and find out what will sting. then they will fear you too much to be cranky.
 
Marc? You're my hero.

You finally read the rough draft for my new guide to patient care, didn't you?!

Move over Bates. It's time for Stringer & Splat's Guide to Getting Patients to Fear You Too Much To Do Anything You Don't Want Them To Do, Including Filing a Malpractice Suit (Whether Deserved or Not)--1st edition.

Good choice with the name. Funk & Splat sounds like porn.

Ooooh. I also have Robin Hood Men In Tights in region 2 (just got it in region 1 in my Mel Brooks' collection), and I've got some Trigger Happy TV region 2 dvds. Yeah, I thought I could hack my dvd player to play all regions, but guess not -- it's a part of my tv.

Remember what we said about Indo, people? We said, no leaving him breadcrumbs to find his way back from Spring Break.
 
This is turning into quite the crazy little party. Who said Grey's Anatomy wasn't reflective of the medical community? 😉
I still haven't seen any Katherine Heigl lookalikes in my class or yours. There are a few who could pass for models, but nobody like her. 😍

Good point, but worthless without pictures. No worries though, I have your back. 😀

Thanks. You should have picked the even more scandalous ones for me to look at while in the library.
 
For a second, I confused those with Prowler's buns.
 
I can't decide which brand of people are more useless to society; people who dedicate their lives to printing the latest gossip about celebrities or the people who dedicate their lives to finding flaws on celebrities. If we got rid of this **** we could end welfare in america. The people who consume this type of horse **** would be left with nothing else to do with their time. They'd be forced by boredom to get a job.

Ha! You underestimate just how excited these people can be by what happens to their neighbors. Just cause a traffic accident on 27th and Lisbon (3 blocks from the ambulance station), throw in two teenagers, one with a suspended license (the driver), and a baby in a car that doesn't have a car seat, and what do you get? The Drama Response Team (the cop's words, not mine) is on the scene faster than we were! Baby daddy (he wasn't actually, but he was willing to sign for it), sister's cousin, some dude just out of prison, you name it, you got it.

It was a good idea though.
 
notice how the guy in the blue shirt in the cellulite picture has his shirt clamped in place in the back? awesome. I should have requested such techniques when I got my high school senior photos.

That's a trick commonly used by models/photographers to make their clothes appear to fit better. Almost every Sports Illustrated swimsuit picture employs the clamp.

as a photographer myself i can tell you i am well aware of this technique 🙂

I'm gonna try that at school tomorrow, but I'll have to stand in a corner so nobody can see the clamps.

I wonder how this trick works on men's pants. :idea:
 
Again, kids! Behave!
 

Hawt.

For those who are curious, I'm wearing flannel pajama pants and a white undershirt (in preparation for dressing up for another pointless CER function this afternoon).
