- to my surprise, water polo is apparently one of the rougher sports. my host at a conference i went to in college was a water polo guy and he was telling me that basically whatever the ref doesn’t see is legal so you have these guys beating the shit out of each other under the water. broken ribs are not uncommon.
- that conference was my first of many. good times.
- on the subway during that particular conference i overheard a west point cadet that was attending the conference say to another conference attendee “so… do you want to know about west point?” this was his entry line. they had not spoken before. i laughed out loud but thankfully not in his direction. he might be socially awkward but he could probably still woop my ass, nah mean?
- a guy i used to be friends with went to one of those military academies too and he said the one thing he learned while he there was that newspaper works best to clean windows with. no streaks or lint. i’ve never tried that one out though. i’m skeptic about the ink bleeding. someone try it out and let me know how it goes.
- i always thought it was a given that the military academy guys were not very high up on the social ladder but a girl i used to know from Smith was telling me how her and her friends consider them first before any other group of guys. Smith is strange (confirmed) and/or i’ve got it all wrong about the men in uniform.
- i did meet a really cool and hilarious guy from the naval academy though. he told me that they were only allowed to chew 3 times per bite at every meal. cereal was left to soak so that it wouldn’t scrape their throats on the way down. is that fucking bizarre or what? i’m still not sure if he was pulling my leg though. i do know those academies have weird-ass rules so it wouldn’t really surprise me if i found it to be true.
- i still need people to complete their offers so that i can get credit for my freeipod. if you signed up, chances are that you did not complete your offer so we are still not jibing along to get ourselves some free shit. i just need two more.
Free iPods. it’s confirmed from her, and her and their friends and their friends’ friends and what not. this is legit. do you have a spam-ready email address? you probably do. click this link and hook yourself up with a new ipod while helping me hook myself up with one, too. read the details.

i saw on fox 5 news “who knew?” that coffee filters are best to clean windows. hahahaha.
hey, when did synchronized diving become an olympic sport?!?!?!
u never learned that tip w/ newspapers and windex? no streaks/lint remnants.. and the ink doesn’t rub off.. only onto your damn sweaty fingers..
i meant damp, not damn.. haha.. force of habit..
ink bleeding – my first thought as well…. my close friend was at west point. he didn’t have any cool stories like the one from the naval academy……
chew 3 times?? wtf? that’s gay.
men in uniform seem to have more power .(well they look like it)
ew soggy cereal.
smith girls are confirmed weird. haha.. military guys kind of scare me. there is something extremely homo-phobic or philic about everything. *shrug* the weird behavior rules just affirm the brainwashing, uniformity emphasis ofof everything, often going beyond what is necessary or logical (i.e. chewing 3x). a higher up always wants to exercise power over you. i dont know about you, but to me, that’s a little scary.
good thing this country doesnt have mandatory draft.. we’d have a lot of AWOL soldiers i bet.
funnie/……. boy do i miss the thundercats….that was one of my favs!!
