You're a rabid anti-dentite!

JERRY: So you won't believe what happened with Whatley today. It got back to hime that I made this little dentist joke and he got all offended. Those people can be so touchy.
KRAMER: Those people, listen to yourself.
JERRY: What?
KRAMER: You think that dentists are so different from me and you? They came to this country just like everybody else, in search of a dream.
JERRY: Kramer, he's just a dentist.
KRAMER: Yeah, and you're an anti-dentite.
JERRY: I am not an anti-dentite!
KRAMER: You're a rabid anti-dentite! Oh, it starts with a few jokes and some slurs. "Hey, denty!" Next thing you know you're saying they should have their own schools.
JERRY: They do have their own schools!
KRAMER: Yeah!....
Looks like our buddy Michael Richards really went off the deep end. Here's a censored version of the little rant that he spewed off at a black man in the audience who had been heckling him:

"Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your ass." Richards continued, "You can talk, you can talk, you're brave now motherf***er. Throw his ass out. He's a n***er! He's a n***er! He's a n***er! A n***er, look, there's a n***er!"

There's not much to say about that other than "Wow"...

Fooled You!


Wednesday was horrible, I couldn't really move all day. Yesterday I felt fine, almost good enough to go play soccer. Yet here I am today with a headache and coughing up something that looks like the broccoli soup that my mom made one time, and one time only.

Who told these illnesses that they could mutate with a sense of humour? The old "fooled you!" trick might work great for political campaigns, but let's leave it out of cases of personal well-being.

Blair out.

Lessons From a Bachelor

Cereal lasts a really long time when you're not sharing it with anyone. Milk...not so much.

Spider-Man 3

I'll try to avoid talking about that horrible ass-whooping we took yesterday and instead present you with this fantastic new trailer for Spider-Man 3. It looks damn good if you ask me.

Check me out!

I've finally arrived at the Department of Physics website. It's nice to be acknowledged as part of the team... I'm actually pretty happy with my photo. I think I'm somewhere between Iaonna's beauty shot and Blake's mugshot.

Spin, spin, spin


BEGIN RANT

I didn't think that it was possible for an entire lab section to do an experiment wrong. Leave it to the engineers to go ahead and take education to a new low. I'm not sure what they teach in high school these days but apparently it has nothing to do with learning and all to do with ignorance. Read the damn lab manual people.

END RANT




Here's a haiku that I wrote last year while teaching Phys 119 to an entire section of engineers:

Why can't they get it?
Two resistors in series

And yet they still fail.

Here Kitty Kitty Kitty...


One down, two to go! Wow, what a game. I've never seen our defense as inspired as they were yesterday. I knew that we had that kind of talent on our team, the problem has always been that they don't show up. Well, they showed up yesterday and they left Burris completely clueless. If our offense can play with half the intensity that our defense did then there's a spot waiting for us in the Grey Cup final.

Blair's Three Stars:
  1. Kenton Keith; 141 rushing yards, 2 TDs. Our team lives and dies by KK
  2. James Johnson; 2 clutch interceptions. Can't expect much more from a rookie DB
  3. Marcus Howell; 266 yards and 1 TD on punt/kick off returns. This guy gave our special teams a fit!
Honourable mentions: Maurice Lloyd, Matt Dominguez and, most importantly, Smilin Hank for gift wrapping this one for us.
