ESPN: Time for the new rules for college football fandom

My favorites:
2. Your schools of allegiance must be in different conferences. Unless the conference in question is the ACC, in which case you may root for Duke and anyone else, since the Blue Devils might as well play in another conference – like, say, the Patriot League.

Funny Video Apr. 1st, 2007 @ 07:19 pm
I heard about this video during a birthday dinner Friday night. A squirrel got its paws on some fermented foods.

Oh, and Google is offering free in-home wireless broadband service. It's on a different type of pipeline than Cable or DSL. Amazing speeds for the big loads. Very few backups.

I've just woke up 15 minutes ago. I have a migraine (or what feels like it) and also got sick this morning. And of course, classes start tomorrow. Oh joy...

JibJab review of 2006: It was Nuckin' Futs

This is a modification to a quote I thought of, from "Top Gun", about my chem exam:
The chemistry department regets to inform you that your son/daughter is dead because they were stupid

Too early in the week for a serious post, so here's something fun from 96Rock:

*Tune to the Mickey Mouse song*

What's the worst day of the week that gets us all depressed?
M-O-N, D-A-Y, S-U-C-K-S.
Here comes more aggravation and a brand new week of stress!
M-O-N, D-A-Y, S-U-C-K-S.
Monday Sucks, Monday Sucks!
Monday Sucks, Monday Sucks!
Forever will it make you want to cry
Cry, cry, cry!
So come along and sing this song, now get it off your chest.
M-O-N, D-A-Y, S, U, C, K, S.

I'm studying for a history test tomorrow. So it's time for another installment of "Quotes from class", all from Dr. Kimler:

  • Talking about Newton's niece living with him before he dies, and how Lord Montaque of Halifax (Newton's patron) spends much time with her
    "Is Newton pimping out his niece?"

  • In talking about simple physics problems used to teach physics. Such as finding where a target is when it falls.
    "For 300 years we've been shooting monkeys falling out of trees"

  • On the type of pretty women of the time who kept the company of the Royal Society, who had sharp minds and sharp looks.
    "A woman then would be like Paris Hilton discussing Quantum Physics now"

  • "Strength without art is useless" -Merchant quote of the time

  • In talking about the experiments with new chemistry, and Hydrogen.
    "What's the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenburg?
    One is a flaming Nazi gas bag... And the other is a zeppelin."

    May the friendships you make,
    Be those which endure,
    And all of your grey clouds
    Be small ones for sure.

    Always remember to forget
    The things that made you sad.
    But never forget to remember
    The things that made you glad.

    Always remember to forget
    The friends that proved untrue.
    But never forget to remember
    Those that have stuck by you.

    Always remember to forget
    The troubles that passed away.
    But never forget to remember
    The blessings that come each day.

    May you always have walls for the winds,
    a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
    Laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
    and all your heart might desire.

    What is it with all these school shootings involving older guys shooting girls? That's so wrong, no matter who, because it's at a school. But it seems like the past few have been targeting young girls.

    This last one (developing currently), they say a guy broke into a school, released the adults and boys, bound the females, then shot them (killed at least 3, shot at least 5 more, all ages 6 to 15). Because of something that happened 20 years ago, apparently. What the fuck? These kids weren't alive 20 years ago. There is no reason why someone should go and do this. Taking innocent lives, let alone children, never makes anything right. And now, because of one deranged person, they won't be able to see the age of 20. The said, ironic part, this happened in Paradise, PA.

    Too tired to type about other shit, but:

    Attention whom it may concern on the first floor. Thank you for making the alarms go off at 3:30a and making everyone wait 30 minutes. Though I am greateful the building did not burn down. I hope the cops on the first floor find out why it happened.

    Alright, so I have a question I've wondered. Why does the FCC allow the word "Bitch" (like Crazy Bitch) but not "Cocaine" (Jesus of Suburbia)? Last time I checked, the former is more insulting than the latter. Are there any other ones you've heard which are like this?

    After research, here are the songs that Clear Channel refused to play immediately after 9/11

    Choose 15 movies you like and pick a quote from each one. Then have people choose the correct movie!

    Two sets of these quotes are from the same movie, because I can't think of any other movie to add. Not all of these are my favs, but they're quotes I remember or movies I like

    1. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
    2. I have a bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.
    3. He's got a TOWEL!
    4. You know the guy who can pick up any girl? I'm him on crack.
    5. It's good to be the King
    6. I'm a mushroom-cloud laying motherfucker, motherfucker
    7. And why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.
    8. 1 2 3 4 5? That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!
    9. They'll kill you? Motherfucker, I'll kill you! I'll just enjoy it better.
    10. Ball 4... Ball 8... Ball 16
    11. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and take a look every once in a while, you might miss it.
    12. *sneezes* Excuse me, I'm alergic to bullshit
    13. Would you like to play a game of Globalthermo-nuclear war?
    14. I know you. You know you. And I know you know that I know you.
    15. I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.

    My weather )

    What the hell is drizzles? Drizzle is the meteorological term, it has no plural. Instead, since I'm feeling like a weather geek, I'm going to label the pics on that link:

    Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Mostly Cloudy, Overcast, Light rain, Rain, Wintry mix, Rain/Snow mix, Fog/Drizzle, Thunderstorms

    Snow Showers, Snow, Light snow, Blowing snow, sleet, Mostly cloudy, Partly cloudy, clear

    I got a gift today! I recieved a Meteorological Observations & Instrumentation book from Erin. It was a free book from 1987, but I thought it was very thoughtful of her to fuel my geekiness!

    Always remember to forget

    But never forget to remember
    Those that have stuck by you.
    Always remember to forget
    The troubles that passed away.
    But never forget to remember
    The blessings that come each day.

    May luck be our companion
    May friends stand by our side
    May history remind us all
    Of Ireland's faith and pride.
    May God bless us with happiness
    May love and faith abide.

    Can you feel it crush you? Does it seem to bring the worst in you out?
    There's no running away from these things that hold you down
    Do they compicate you because they make you feel like this?
    Of all the colors that you've shine this is surely not your best

    But you should know these colors that you're shining are
    Surely not the best colors that you shine
    Surely not the best colors that you shine

    I know you feel alone, yeah, and no one else can figure you out
    But don't you ever turn away from the ones that help you down
    Well they'd love to save you, don't you know they love to see you smile?

    But these colors that you've shined are surely not your style

    But you should know these colors that you're shining are
    Surely not the best colors that you shine
    Surely not the best colors that you shine

    I know you're feeling like you're lost, you've drifted way too far
    But you should know these colors you're shining are
    I know you're feeling like you're lost, you've drifted way too far
    But you should know these colors that you're shining are

    Surely not the best colors that you shine
    Surely not the best colors that you shine
