My favorite one, harry styles gets a shoe in his groin :laugh:

1362679615_harry_styles_gets_shoe_in_groin.gif

I just realized that he's already got one of those shoes in his hand. What's going on here? Lol
 
I've heard of folks doing that. Did you know there is an Institute for Coffee Studies at Vanderbilt? Pretty cool!
What!? I didn't know we had that! It's so funny when people from other schools bring my attention to programs and institutes I never knew we had. LoL
Or at least I wonder how he avoids getting a racemic product if he's starting with an sp2 compound like phenylacetone.
Definitely this.
A purely academic curiosity, of course. 😏
Mhmmm. :nono:
Yeah, but it was the HF that made me stop watching. a) no you don't have that in your high school b) USE A BASE YOU IDIOT!!

And yes, after 2.5 years of orgo classes, including synthetic, I guess the other was also annoying...

Sent via phone, please excuse typos and formatting errors!
I don't know. Granted, NaOH would do a wonderful job, but would also release a crap-ton of heat. I'm sure there's an even better, more efficient compound that we haven't considered...you know, because we don't need to regularly dispose of corpses and all. LoL ... 😏 :ninja:

Right, but given the ease of availability (SERIOUSLY even most college profs wouldn't be able to put their hands on 1/5 of what he had in his little storage locker) and the fact that HF is actually technically a weak acid AND the fact that it's incredibly dangerous (to live people...pretty sure dead people don't have a beating heart to screw with)...it's at least 20x better in his situation to use a base, which would be more efficient than an acid anyway. I think heat is less problematic than OH GOD THE FLOOR MELTED! AND THE ONE BELOW IT! AND IF IT SPLASHES ME I DIE alsdh;akghakdgh...:scared:

Also, just because you don't have to regularly dispose of corpses doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't. God, speak for yourself and stop putting words in my mouth! (I really, really, need a hairflip emoticon). :ninja:

Hahahahaa, great post.

Why thank you 🙂

Also, there seems to be a dearth of truly great hair flip gifs out there. Celebs these days seem to need to use their hands to flip hair...whaaaa? 😕

These gifs, they all just look like this to me:
tumblr_m7a57tCOzM1qfr0fb.gif


In a truly great hair flip, the hair should start forward/in your face, and be moved in a single, smooth motion via a neck snap to behind your shoulder. None of this weak hand usage, and certainly none of this "my hair has so much product in it that I actually can't settle it into a different position."

LoL, ahhh, the advent of copious "product." What has this world come to?
 
I love how this one proceeds backwards...makes it look like one lady set her sister's hair on fire and then they calmly used it to light the birthday candles, lol! :laugh:
I know, I had to watch it a couple times to get what was really going on. LoL Clever indeed!

I think its an angry fan.

Is anyone else here on spring break?

Even though i'm on spring break, I have a class I take at another institution and an upcoming midterm 🙁

Unemployment = perpetual spring break :hardy:
Only without beer money 🙁

At least you get some free time to prep for that one exam without having 4 others breathing down your neck?
 
Oh man, that sucks...thank god my school had all of its midterms before break...it may have been a miserable week, but at least it meant Break was all fun and games! Well, except for the time I didn't finish my exams and ended up doing a closed-book polymer chem take-home exam IN THE CAR with a bunch of teammates on the way to our first warm-weather tournament. :scared:
That didn't go so well...

:raises hand: What sports team were/are you on? Volleyball?

Haha, that's a surprisingly specific/uncommon guess!
No, it was an Ultimate team...I swear it's actually a sport, guys!

Friggin' tore my ACL during my senior Spring break, though. Worst. SB. Ever.

Freakin' awesome vid! I love frisbee and always wanted to play. But I was always either holed up in the bowels of the library studying, working, conducting research, or drinking. LoL

I need to practice the difficult throws and join a team in med school. I know that'd take care of my destress needs really well.

Ouch!!! @ the ACL. That's no fun 'atawl!

Haha, yeah, that's one of my favs...mostly for the sick layout D halfway through (the one they replay 2x with multiple angles) 😍

I always found that I was about 8x as productive academically when I threw myself into frisbee, even though it sucked up ~2hrs/day and 100% of every other weekend. On the plus side, it quite often included the drinking aspect, so I didn't have to schedule that in as much! Besides, my team was really nerdy; I learned more about abstract mathematics over a team dinner than I ever dreamed of looking into academically!

Sadly, I'll be out of my college eligibility by med school 🙁 You only get 4 years out of 5 consecutive years, and I meet neither criterion.

Yeah that clip was sick!

That sucks that you're no longer eligible. 🙁 But there's always the more colloquial extramurals!

Meh, I used to be good at soccer, but it's just not my group. I'll find a club team somewhere...there's definitely an attitude to frisbee that I haven't found in other sports. Now that I've been on one, I can't imagine going back to a sport with a coach, or referees, or fewer silly costumes...not to mention the booze+casualnudity!
 
You're a girl???!!! That's the first time I saw a girl who loves European soccer.

All the sexy soccer players are European :naughty:

Villa and Kun Aguero are some of my very favorites. Plus, obviously the soccer is far superior!

Edit: I realize Kun is Argentinian, but playing in the EPL

I like European football, but I love US soccer! Season tickets, baby! I know the soccer is worse, but when you are close enough to hear what they're saying on the field word-for-word, it's way more exciting than a TV match of higher caliber!
So, not exactly the same, but it's not THAT shocking!

Did anyone else play themselves as a kid?

Disagree bro. The skill shown in the European leagues is far superior. Have you ever seen Zindanne, ronaldhino or messi play?

Yeah, but I don't watch TV very often, and I'm sorry, but there's a huge difference between video footage of a game and sitting in the stands. :shrug:
I love good soccer as much as the next person, I just happen to dislike TV and LOVE real games, having a home team, and following a league which I can trash talk about to my family, which is spread across the US!

I NEVER never never ever claimed that US soccer skills was anything close to European; I specifically said the opposite. I just said that I enjoyed following US soccer more because I can go to every single home game in person! Not sure how you can disagree with me on that...

And yeah, IniestaDe is right, Zidane will always be known for the headbutt more than anything else...poor guy screwed himself over with that one!
 
Wide Receiver, breaking ankles all day.

Wait...we're talking about real football, right? :meanie:

+1 to being a wide receiver in real football

speaking of which, today is the start of free agency and my Niners have been making some moves. Still sad that we might not have Delaine or Dashon Goldson anymore
 
Nothing like working on your manuscript and taking a quick breather to gaze out your downtown condo window only to be distracted by a bum shamelessly peeing on the side of the building across the street in broad daylight, swaying back and forth with inebriation. If I had a friend over, we'd probably have placed bets on whether or not he'd have fallen into the wall. (I would've lost that one, as he just stumbled off into the alley.) At least there's always entertainment, even on the weekdays. LoL 😎

👍 my bad, I misinterpreted your post. Not trying to pick a fight 😍 I know what you're saying, being at the game is way more exciting 🙂

Haha, not fighting, I just didn't want to risk being labelled as the idiot who can't appreciate real football skills!

And mine happen to be particularly exciting because the Earthquakes are a last-minute team. I swear the percentage of goals scored after the 80th minute...not to mention how many are scored after the 90th (like our winning goal this weekend!) How often do you get to sit in the stands and know that, even though you're in stoppage time, this is one of the most likely times for your team to score?!? It's crazy awesome!
