You know me. I'm lovely. :) Besides, I think Allison beat me to being nice."
I'm such a suck up ;) Never know when I might need a place to stay in CA, so all the better to get her buttered up now! hehe.
Rachel wrote: "Oh, one of the really cool studies right now has to do with cocaine use and hemophilia. Every time we buy cocaine the Accounting Department nearly has a heart attack! Lol. They never know exactl..."That is...VERY interesting. Seriously.
plus, how cool would it be to place an order for cocaine?
I would love to generate an invoice for it, hehe. That would be fun.
(k, I'm over my cocaine fixation now...everybody can come back)
weirdos.just watched dial M for murder..sooooooooooooo good. I start to really like hitchcock...
hehe Rachel! I love those. I'll have to dig out the ones for Oklahoma sometime.whats a geoduck? :(
oh...and what happened on May 18th, 1980?
oooo thats what I was guessing, I knew that happened in the early 80's.
mkay...I'm going to give you a few of the ones from Oklahoma. They are pretty funny. Like Rachel, I just picked out the ones that seemed to apply the most to me.You know you're from Oklahoma if...
- It doesn't seem odd to see the term "chicken fried chicken" on a menu.
- You have used the phrase "fixin' to" during the last 12 months.
- You save all your life for your dream vacation, and use it to go to the OU/Texas game.
- It doesn't seem peculiar if your spouse says "I'm going in to town for something" even though you live in town.
- You know exactly what calf fries are, and eat them anyway.
- It bothers you not one iota to use an airport named for a man who died in an airplane crash.
- A bad traffic jam involves two cars staring each other down at a four-way stop, each determined to be the most polite and let the other go first.
- You know in which state Miam-uh is and in which state Miam-ee is.
Mkay, compare these to Rachel's...which will basically prove nothing but the fact that Rachel is cool and I am a redneck hick.
Well, my uncle Jimbo has him some big hairy feet. My aunt shaves his toes every week for Sunday services and the buffet down at the Sit and Chew.We call him Bigfoot.
okay...so I made that up and I would make a pathetic redneck.
Rachel wrote: "lol. I am sure you are not a hick. Besides, I know someone who has seen Bigfoot and I believe him. top that. lol"Is he a "bad guy?"
(not your MS principal, but Bigfoot)
Rachel wrote: "I really love the Pacific Northwest. I hope I get to see Bigfoot (or Sasquatch as we lovingly call him) some day. Anyone who has spent time out on the Olympic Peninsula knows that there is no say..."Olympic Peninsula just makes me think of Edward Cullen :)
You girls! I knew what a geoduck is (my brothers call them gooeydicks, slight distinction, but makes all the difference:). They are soooo good. There's even a Dirty Jobs episode about them. I can relate to a lot of the others too.
Fiona...you should read Twilight. You haven't have you?
Damn Joe! He put a stick figure person in tape on my floor and put a piece of crime scene tape across my door! Where do they get these things? I have been assurred, by every authority figure in our company that I will not SEE this customer. I'm glad it's such a hoot for everyone;)
I actually have 3 crock-pots! How crazy is that? Since I started working later, the majority of my dinners are crockpot, and 1 just isn't enough. One i smaller, though...I hope you like them. What kind of apples will you use?
I admit, Fiona I read Twilight voraciously, but I can't really recommend it. I was addicted while reading, but you're really not missing all that much. I keep forgetting to look in *IT* to see what page the EVENT happens that I wish you would avert your eyes from.
Ha ha! I am telling Joe that you offerred to send him an infectious disease! Just the threat will be great! Thanks, Rach! You're the best.
I liked the story behind Eragon, and of course I can applaud the kids effort, but... well, I agree. That's why writers are usually older. They need to "season".
Fiona-How did you find a piece of your own writing on the internet? I'm so confused!!!!!!!!!
2 days until my movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Well, he can just kiss.... just kidding! In his defense it WAS a comic first. I always use the graphic novel angle to get my husband to maybe, just maybe be interested, but V for Vendetta kind of buried that argument as far as he is concerned:(
Ummmm. you were NOT actually calling MOI a comic book geek, were you dear heart?
Well, yeah! That t-shirt is going to serve me for years to come! I think I may even iron it before I wear it Friday!
Do either of you know what a geek really is? When the "Freak Show" was an accepted part of travelling circuses, a Geek was a person who would eat living animals. I crap you not. You can look it up. There is a strange, tattoed all over guy, named the Enigma, who is a practicing Geek today!
I have no idea. There was an episode of the X-Files about a circus, and they gave you all that lovely info. That guy, The Enigma, actually guest-starred on the episode. The last scene is him catching a fish, barehanded in a stream, and...taking a bite out of it! There was a big brouhaha because animal rights activists took offense to them filming it. I guess it was real. I mean, not a plastic fish. Blech!
Did you see Revenge of the Nerds? Good group to love:)!
Yeah, I agree. Now, if he had bitten the head off of a hamster, or a kitten... I may have been a little more disgusted! Funny how fur sort of changes my perspective.
Because of the conversation, or for real? Ha! I should have said "Fur real".
I know, I was just saying. I remember when Ozzie Osbourne bit the head off that bat. People FREAKED out! I hate bats, but they are mammals, so people thought it was worse.
No, he didn't eat it. He was being gross. It was during a heavy metal (?) concert. He would generally have rubber bats handy to bite the heads off of, and then throw them in the audience. Somehow someone threw him a real, live bat, so he did the same thing.
They call Iguanas tree chickens in Mexico because they eat so many of them.
The research that is done here is mostly on Hemophilia and blood related cancers. There is some immunology work and genomics too. Some of the stuff that we are working on has progressed to human studies, but a lot of it is still being done in animal studies (i.e. mousies). I don't have to go to the mouse house though, so I don't deal with animals at all. They just bring me a vial of whatever, tell me what it is and where it is going and I figure it out from there. Gratefully I was not the one who actually shipped the Australian package, so it isn't my fault. If I had done it there wouldn't have been a problem. Rachel that is really cool about the testing of hemophillia blood. My brother and Nephew had that disease.
Reading back through the threads you ladies have had quite a day talking about Rachel sending Mouse stuff throught he mail. Kandice's job, and now cows...LOL I love reading this forum. :~)
My nephew did some kind of gene therapy trial thing when he was in high school. He was all for helping them find some kind of cure especially for new babies born with it.
I am not joking. I have an aunt in West Virginia, that drives everywhere with a loaded shotgun in the window of the truck. She will stop the truck, shoot and eat ANYTHING she sees. I mean anything.

Because she is a super countrified woman. Her name is Eunace, and she looks a lot like the granny on Sylvester and Tweety. I have tasted possum, turtle, snake, and Lord knows what else at her house.
OMG, I would so bring my own food rather than eat at her house. LOL.

Man Rachel, I'm sorry that happened! Are you just going to have to ship a new protein or what? International shipping always gives me a headache.
I hate it when people get away with leaving early and getting to work late! A guy at my office does it and I want to smack him.
