Random non-MCAT and only peripherally related to the MCAT thread - Part 8

[Arsenic]

Members do not see this ad.

how's your studying going guys? are you freaking out? burned out?

this is our stress relief thread....or our group anxiety thread, whatever..... 😀

for those of you that have no idea what the mcat random threads are about, check out molly's explanation:

It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.

"Proposal 2, to ban the use of race and gender preferences in public university admissions and in government hiring and contracting."

latest polls say the no's are winning by 10
UMich, GM, and the Catholic Conference have been behind the campaign for no among many others. No is outspending yes big time, we'll see what happens though

so if yes wins, it effectively abolishes affirmative action? I'm sure that's pushing a lot of peoples' buttons.

 

[Dr Durden]

Lol, Chris Leak broke 10k passing yards against Vandy this weekend. He's 751 yards shy of Danny Wuerffel's record.

Well then, it looks like you're outta excuses with regards to med school applications. 😀

 

[beary]

Isn't this one supposed to be by far the easiest?

Yes. Thank God.

 

[pingouin]

lmfao

.....and so it comes back to that 3 VR............

 

[deleted106503]

i remember when both Tampa and the Pistons won three years ago he was travelling almost every day to watch both teams play in the playoffs That must've been pretty damn sweet for him...

It does seem like a while ago, but it was only 2 years ago, damn. I now remember that during both the Lightning and Pistons games. I will never have that feeling in life.

 

[UMP]

yeah, it is... there's some left-wing militants that have been stirring up a lot of trouble on the no side... "By Any Means Necessary" has been sending out death threats and physically intimidating the yes side 👎 😡

 

[deleted106503]

Just because he has over 10k yards doesn't mean he's good. The boy cracks under pressure badly. He's been to 3 bowl games and only won ONCE! Played Iowa his freshman year--blow out. Played Miami his sophomore year--blow out. Played Iowa again this past Jan--squeaked by with a win on a questionable on-side kick. I guess you could say Ron Zook was responsible for the first two losses because he sucks as a coach (good at recruiting, though). Look at Illinois right now. Completely his fault. 😉

owning a single sports franchise would be a dream for me

 

[deleted106503]

We lost to Mississippi my freshman year for homecoming!!! 😡 We lost to Mississippi State the next year! Chris Leak will lose in the NFL.

However, the homecoming loss was with Eli Manning playing at the time. So they weren't THAT bad. 🙂

Or in terms our client would understand better, "3 VR FTW!"

Same here. Even though I'm a huge Buccaneers' fan, I'd rather own the Dolphins. Too much history there and it was my first and only pro game I've been to. Owning the Magic would be cool, too, but I don't see DeVos selling anytime soon. I wouldn't mind owning any of the Chicago teams. Even the Cubs...as long as I don't pay for it.

FTMFW!

Night folks. Sleep well. 😴

hey, now. lady in the house. I don't need to be hearing that ****.

 

[pingouin]

night, Randette. feel even better tomorrow.

 

[UMP]

I'd like to own the Tigers and buy championships like the Yankees try to do... I'd succeed though 👍


Alright, good night guys

 

[Dr Durden]

Ah, thanks for clearing up the translation. I was initially confused until I got to your post.

100% blame on Leak FTMFL!

S***, Leak FTMFL because I'm tired and need to go to bed. What a little f***er that guy is. 🙁

😴 Good night random people.

P.S. I made the top 50 poster list Saturday. 👍 Only a couple more things to do til I got all the records I wanted.

 

[Dr Durden]

I need to start making up interview invites so I can start skipping more 8 AM poetry classes.

Night all. 😴

😳 what can I say? I'm multi-lingual.

 

[beary]

I am feeling majorly sick. 🙁

Put some Outkast on....that should help.

Good idea. Thanks.

Da Ali G show is fantastic. I'm watching the first season on HBO on Demand right now.

 

[R.P. McMurphy]

Is it weird that I can't stand Payton Manning? I think it's the whole Napoleon thing; how he jumps around shouting orders on every single freaking play. Just shut up and take the snap until you can win in a big game.

At least I have an excuse to hate Eli.

This job brings out the best in me. Can you tell?

 

[mshheaddoc]

at least its money 😀

2 words, one name: Allen Iverson

most heart in all of Philly, 11 years strong.

How did I miss this load of ****? 😛 Iverson is the downfall of the Sixers and has been. I'm an offical iverson hata.

Well then, we are from different schools of thought. I know many of your kind. (My Dad is a hater too, even though he loves the sixers)

But hey, 3-0 is a nice start! At least something looks promising this year for Philly!

I watched that show religiously when I lived in the UK. 👍

As for politics, I'm voting straight Libertarian ticket (except for Kinky) - ah the joys of living in Texas 🙂

 

[PBandJ]

hi guys! long time no talk!

the UK version worked a lot better 👍 "Ali G in Da House" is a classic movie he made over there

I'm a big fan of british comedy generally, and I try to scout all of the stuff that they have over there. Office was great British also...

Little Britain I don't get, and there's this IT show that's pretty funny.

Ana:
Are you in Badnarik's district by any chance ?

No, I went to college pretty close to it but I was in the next district over.

😍 to you for even knowing who that is though. 🙂 My flatmates kept telling me I was making him up.

 

[Anastasis]

Pretty interesting map:

Looks like I come from just about the only blue part of Texas

 

[R.P. McMurphy]

Did anyone watch that special on 20/20 called "Privilege in America?" How ridiculous was the thing about Ralph Lauren's kids and Duke. I wanted to

How funny was Bush's graduation speech. "And to the C students, you too can become President"

 

[Dr Durden]

I never would have guessed. 😛

Very nice. 👍

I caught that when I was recouperating from my cold.
Interesting to say the least.

oh.my.god.

I just got off the phone after over an hour of calling 6 different phone numbers before I could find someone to give me an authorization to see a new client today. was told twice that he didn't have the benefit,when the website for his employer clearly said that he did. 😡 last girl was really sweet, tho. 👍

Whassup, twin!?

Those are my cousins. They invited me to be an extra, but I didn't have the money to get to LA for the filming. 🙁

I've been a philly fan long enough to know that a good start doesn't mean **** when you play 50+ games. Hell even with the eagles it doesn't mean crap 😉

too much red. red = anger

 

[pingouin]

Ana, my neighbors are leaving tomorrow to go to a senior citizens' retirement trailer park near you...... 😀 whoo-hoo! free penguin! no second mother to ask why I'm leaving the house so late, etc etc! (b/c class doesn't start until 11, that's why)

Geez. Now I've gotta start heading to school about 2 hrs earlier because the old ass people are coming back down. 😛

Iverson is wicked - look at his statistics. =\

she teaches art classes down there. he putters. which is pretty much what he does up here, too..

 

[oxeye]

so everyone voting on tuesday?

anyone voting a straight democratic or republican ticket ?

I am - most likely voting straight Republican but I need to research the candidates first. I've already made my decisions about all the questions, though.

 

[R.P. McMurphy]

Interesting to say the least.

The thing about the Judge in Alaska who appointed his daughter to a position in congress just blew my mind. The mother of all Nepotisms.

 

[R.P. McMurphy]

I've been a philly fan long enough to know that a good start doesn't mean **** when you play 50+ games. Hell even with the eagles it doesn't mean crap 😉

But it's nice to see it out of a team that has no expectations for once. I'm used to heartbreak in Philly- expectations that fall short. Anything out of that team this year would just be a bonus
