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.
