so here's some quotes from mrs. p this morning (whoop for database being cancelled after that!!) and also a special treat: quotes from upstream group 14 triple chunksters last nite.

"Isn't this a 300 level class? You should be writing operating systems. If you were across the campus you would be. That's why you're not across the campus, right? 'I didn't want to design operating systems. I wanted to learn how to count beans'." --mrs. p (yeah, thanks. but why beans?)

"I wore a bright colorful shirt in case any parents came to class today." --mrs. p (bright pink, to be exact. it was a nice shirt. but no parents came. that would have been cool if they had though.)

"Are y'all typing to your mothers or writing this down?" --mrs. p

"But like in the '80s if you ever watch home movies the world was like in this red tint." --marcus

"Did you just say you're so surprised you have a boyfriend?" --sara to kara (whaa? kara has a boyfriend? haha GOTCHA AGAIN)

"Dude. Its a joke. Laugh. Blow snot out your nose." --sara

"Do you realize how much fun Barbies are to burn?" --garrett (thats sick.)

"A bird pooped on my head too! They're going crazy, huh?" --daniel t.

"It sounds as though there is a small animal in your purse." --garrett to amanda

"I look over and Sara is poofing out her gut." --garrett (its true, she was)

"There's babies inside they're just not fertile yet." --sara

"Your skin looks like its cannibal." --sara (ok, so she REALLY said tannable, but we all heard cannibal)

"See, I've heard this multiple times and I still think its funny. That's funny." --sara (and thus, funniness was defined)

"I understand your logic." --travis to sara, after she explained why she would walk around campus without having shaved her legs for 2 weeks if she got $50 for it.

And after I explained the title of my blog to her:

"Cool! I'm so gonna say that it was like a day from the '80s. Bad music. Funky hair. And my socks felt like they were pushed up all the way." --sara

Fo sho. That's all the quotes in the hizzouse for today. Weekend here we come!

Thursday, April 15, 2004

so conant is back in style. today during class we played the "telephone game", you know where you whisper in people's ears the sentence and see what it turns out to be at the end. yeah, all 500 of us played. or however many people are in wehner 159. the sentences at the end were sooo not how they started, it was pretty funny. several of today's quotes stem from that exercise. we also watched funny commercials. all in all, a fine class. and a fine day. and still upstream to come tonite. whoop! tomorrow the parentals are coming in for....parental weekend. looking forward to it. anyway, here's the quotes.

"You are not allowed to go closer than 3 inches to the person next to you because if you violate this airspace people start to giggle and lose their concentration. We wont go into details, but it happens." --conant

"I've had people get married from this class because of this exercise. 'He just whispered in my ear so nicely, I dont know what happened'." --conant

"See we've already had violations. If the ear police we're here they'd be selling tickets. There's a violation down front here and they haven't even got the message yet."
--conant

"For those of you not familiar, this is the giant, steriod-laden.....hershey kiss." --conant

"Now thats a serious kiss, right? And its solid. Which makes it all the better." --conant

"I had to sneak [the kiss] out under the cover of darkness." --conant

"You have to stay in the middle aisle. We cant have contamination. Remove that from your mind. Who has the Men in Black thing? Psssh." --conant

"Let's definitionally hi-lite it." --conant

"How can i backwind this thing. Does anyone know?" --conant, meaning rewind the dvd

"Please note these words both start with the letter 'i'. And they are dangerous words."
--conant

"Oh well, you'll be a parent someday. If you arent already. Thats terrible isnt it? Yeah."
--conant, after telling us he takes his boys to Sams Club sometimes for dinner

thats all for today. but quite a few considering that was a 75min time frame. i was impressed.

Wednesday, April 14, 2004

so, i havent updated in, well, in a long, long, long time. my apologies. here's a few quotes for ya.

"they are so cute together. and they complement each other's funniness." --evelyn

"we'll call that drop 'steve'." --dewald, referring to a drop of water in a pipeline

"i continue to be astounded by life." --dewald

"We've had soft drink and snack vending machines since they came across on the Mayflower." --dewald

"Dont call yourself stupid, just pressurized." --mrs. p

"This is something new for you: read the chapter in the book." --mrs. p

"Do y'all know ANYTHING?" --mrs. p

"That's a LIE" --mrs. p

"Have we gotten anything done yet? Why start now?" --mrs. p (now thats my line of thinking)

"This has been a flop of a day." --barry (mmmhmmm)

thats really all i suppose. if i'd taken notes when i went home for easter i could share TONS of funniness from the fam and friends, but sorry, i didnt. i apologize. but i did have an incredible Easter and finally went and saw the Passion, on Good Friday. I was glad I waited to see it then, it was the perfect day to remember the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross in such a vivid way. conant comes back to marketing tomorrow, so get excited. I'll try to do a better job. Hopefully I haven't alienated my readership.
