Wow, he's such a soft-spoken guy...I couldn't imagine him belting out a song like Zoot Suit Riot. I wanna see a video of it!

During another song, he got down off the stage to the floor and started dancing for a girl in the 1st row. The crowd loved it.

He told me last night that singing was his well-kept secret. I told him that it definitely wasn't a secret anymore.

sure enough. if um you listen um to today's phys lectures on um mp3, do so um at 4x speed. not um even kidding.

Uggg! haha. Maybe the lecturer had a hangover and used "um" to allow time for the verbal areas of his brain to coordinate his ideas.


Speaking of that. You know when you ask someone a question and they just reflexively say "huh" or "what" but then only wait about 1.5 seconds before they answer the question you've asked them? What the hell? If you heard me the first time why did you say "what"?

I used to do that back in middle school/high school, and it used to annoy the piss out of my mom. It was a very hard habit to break, but I don't think I do it anymore. Occasionally I catch myself doing it to my wife, but it's more to make the point that if she wants to talk to me, she shouldn't yell across the entire house to get my attention.

One of my friends from class has funny stories about his mentor last year doing that, but the guy would insert "what" anywhere in his speech. It was especially disconcerting when he did it at the end of a statement. (i.e. "I think I'm going to order a CBC for that patient. What?" :laugh: It was never a question, just a weird idiosyncracy, but it took Mark a while to realize that he wasn't expecting a response when he said that.)

that must have been the hangover from hell, because it was bad.

huh?


oh, right. yeah, that happens to me. the thing is, I don't process what they said until after I've already said "what?" but then it dawns on me. I've been cutting back though. 😳
 
My older sister refused to repeat anything she ever said, figuring that "if you didn't hear me the first time, you don't deserve to know what I'm saying". I haven't talked to her in three years... shows how effective her method was. 🙂

Splat just saved a guy!

Little known fact: Splat was also probably the reason the guy collapsed on the floor.

About time you reached the 1K mark. Now you just need to get over 1 post/day and you'll be set. By the way, any suggestions from the peanut gallery on how to act like an insomniac for CER today?

So I'm thinking of renewing my EMT-B license. I miss the ambulances. 😛
Click to expand...

Sounds like a lot of work to me, which is why I will be letting mine expire this spring. How about you and I just start our own ambulance service without licenses. We can undercut those snobby "licensed" EMT prices and use my speedy Jeep to transport patients.

Sorry I had to edge you out of the business plan, Splat, but you're still licensed and I had to outsource your job.

It was kinda odd having to act like an insomniac today, when I'm the opposite in real life. I told my group about how I actually will open the blinds so the sun will shine in the morning, and will sleep on the couch w/ the lights on before an exam so I'm more likely to wake up. I sleep ~10 hours/night.

My group now thinks I'm very weird.
 
Ashers said:
Yeah, I've really been slacking in my daily post count recently.
Click to expand...

You're daily post count is 3 times what mine is. I guess I need to start posting some nonsense to bring that number up.
 
BREAKING NEWS

My Foreman Grill has heated up. Let us make a ground chuck burger.
 
burger cooked.

I'll give you mine, but there are two problems the way I see it:

1). I'm not famous or featured in a fantastic article about the wild and wacky antics of medical students.

2). I only sign cleavage. Are you on spironolactone by any chance?

more importantly, do you have a razor on hand?
 
Ashers said:
Won't you be famous though? Book cover?
Click to expand...

Pretty soon I'll be starting the Scientology interest group. Too bad I already took psych...I may have been able to drop out of it on religious grounds.
 
Holy crap. This weekend has become an exercise in seeing how much I can not study pathology and still not fail the exam. I really need to get my ass in gear!
 
I got through exactly 3 lectures, 20 questions in Robbins Review book and 4 or 5 human sexuality coops (just to make sure they were as easy as I expected) before calling it a day yesterday and watching episodes of The Office (UK version) and Matrix Reloaded. I suck.
 
I had full intentions of getting up and going to the path review this morning then straight to Starbucks for a few hours. Jamie makes tables and quizes us in the review. It's good. But instead, when my wake up call came at 8, I listened to it and fell back to sleep. I fell into the weirdest dreams I've had in months, and was so confused that when my other alarm went off, I turned on the lamp instead of hitting the clock. I was just out of it. I finally came to at 12:15pm. Damn it.

Just so you guys know, that guy wasn't a Union ninja. Any self-respecting organized ninja knows that the skills of stealth are paramount in any rescue/assassination/porno-spying mission.

I agree. Kicking down the door was more of a pirate move. Perhaps he was masquerading as a ninja in an attempt to give them a bad reputation.

Cripes, first Johnny Depp, now this. As if ninjas don't have enough problems on their plate at the moment. Things sure haven't been the same since that Vanilla Ice song...

Don't be messing with pirates, ya scurvy land lubber.
Click to expand...

Don't get me wrong. Pirates are entertaining. Kind of like the ******ed guy in the Three Stooges or the monkeys flinging dung at the zoo.

They just aren't scary. At all.

I think it was just another classic consequence of Wisconsin's tragic beer surplus.

And these are scary? 😉

No, but he is.

Little known fact: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are like the ninja community's version of a typical Hollywood character based on nothing but offensive stereotypes of a misunderstood minority group. They're like our Aunt Jemima.

But they can take him and his silly foot clan down. He also had to rely on a mutant rhino and warthog.
