You should start one. Your pretty funny. Post lots of pictures of random weird stuff that happens, like of your sweatshirt, or the Clarinex cereal.

I have a xanga blog but its not very interesting yet. Maybe once I start school I will have some good funny rants.
 
Yah I have a blog. it's got more than just pharm. stuff though and goes onto tangets. Here's a pretty sarcastic pharmacist's blog. Be forewarned: he doesn't always like his job. drugnazi.blogspot.com just remember my warning.
 
WVU, I believe your professor meant to say "Triumverate". Not that truncated, incorrect version that was posted. 👍

I don't know. I'm illiterate, anyway. We don't use pretentious ass fancy words where I'm from. I got a 32 on the reading comprehension part of the PCAT. I'm dead serious when I say it's culturally biased. Growing up, I was primarily exposed to language similar to "Hey, boy, them there youngins' is gonna hurt themselves down in that there gully, they're ornry! Somebody better round 'em up. I cain't, I's legless or I'd do 'er muhself. Go'on now!" This, of course, is how one would say "Those mischievious children in the valley are in danger and might hurt themselves. You should warn them. I'm in a wheelchair so I can't help, you should go." See, unfair. It's not like they are ignorant people, they aren't, it's just a different dialect. If I grew up in an environment where the average word was more than 2 syllables in length, I may be better off.

I can tell you what a ramp meet is, though. Why the hell isn't THAT on the PCAT? **Two points to the person that knows**
 
Curiousity is killing me... what is a ramp meet? Just tell me this, does it involved 4X4's and mud? :laugh:

I got it, I got it. Assuming you meant to say ramp "meat", I think it means road kill. yummy. If that is right, I have to admit that although I really want the 2 points, I think I should get only 1...give the other one to google. 🙂

You: 0
Google: -1 for lying to you.

Yes, it is ramp meet.

Hint: It is unique to Appalachia. It smells, but not due to bad hygeine or rotting flesh.

No. None of you are close. One of you had better figure it out or I'll be VERY dissapointed.

I'm at least partially there. I have figured out that ramps are some sort of wild plant that grows in the Applachian mountains. They have been compared in taste to leeks, scallions, and garlic. Also, I think I saw something about them being similar to onions with the whole eye-watering thing. I think a ramp meet is where people come together to "dig" ramps and they cook them up and eat them. For example, there's something called the Annual Ramp Tramp Festival in TN. Although they never called it a "ramp meet", I'm thinking that this is the sort of thing you're talking about. That is some really random knowledge you have, I'm very impressed.
 
Ding ding ding, we have a winner. You can now add two points to your PCAT score because I said so.

Well, I wouldn't be too surprised to hear about a guy from Somalia that knows his way around Mogadishu. In the same sense, I may expect an Appalachian to know about the annual ramp cook-off. Which should be coming up pretty soon. Hundreds of hillbillies in the hills under a tent over a grill.

HAHA ramps, one of our professors is from apalachia and he was talking about them on wednesday. We all never ever heard of them being civilized in buffalo

They're tasty, there, Frenchy, pansy-assed, New England-boy. Go to fencing practice and diversify your stock portfolio.

It really is funny to go up North and tell them you are from WVa. They actually expect you to be ******ed. A person talking to me will actually begin to modify their speech like they were talking to a foreigner who doesn't understand English and needs it enunciated in a slow, over-the-top manner. "I---need---to--use--the--bath---room. Please---wait--here. Thank---you." *Whispering to another person in the group* "Make sure he stays here and doesn't get lost."

Then there are my wife's friends in Philadelphia.

I will never forget the first time I was tortured by being in the same room with those asshats. I had this experience with an idiot "Classics" major at Temple that spent the entire time monopolizing the conversation babbling about how pedestrian "A Tale of Two Cities" was. I called her an idiot, pretentious English major after she tried to claim that her major was the hardest one around because "some go on to med school." I didn't know at the time she was the alpha of the group, so apparently ever since then that whole group of friends refuses to talk to her and they became "displeased" when we got hitched because said alpha can't stand the idea of a hick telling her what's what.

I'm shocked you haven't gone off about the way Appalachia is pronounced.

I must admit, this transplanted yankee will never make that mistake again!

On a side note:

I am a firm believer in the power of reading, and if I am not mistaken - public libraries are easily accessible in any county, city or state. Also, support national public radio (http://www.npr.org) as its is a wealth of knowledge in the the english spoken language and exceptional forum on discussion about everything under the sun.

So, its not really a matter of where you are from but what you have done to get where you are.
 
I'm a little OT here but what the heck.. I love blogs, especially financial/frugal/revenue type blogs. I feel while I'm on the net I might as well learn some things, as well as have some fun.

But who decides which variation of language is correct? Go to England write the word "color" and they laugh at you. This is just written language, let's not even go into verbal dialects. I go up north, get a shirt for $5, and say "I got a good deal!" and people think I'm talking about a tasty pickle. After I explain, they tell me I have an accent. SCREW YOU, ACCENT! We both have accents. Until you start rolling out words with a cockney accent, STFU!

Anyway, my point is that there is no such thing as proper, just dinguses that want to make everyone talk and write they way they were taught to. 😡
