You know that line on your lip that is at the very top, before the upper lip gives way to the mustache? it is a very small little delicate area, and I woke up yesterday with a nice zit right on top of it. Maybe I should get some oxy.
Yesterday I also took my first set of notes in a Harvard class, fudged not doing the reading for the first time (not a good thing), and went to a class where the teacher provided snacks. I also met some girl from Minnesota, and we had some conversation about pop bottles, and pop machines, and the wonderful word 'pop' and how people out here use this stupid word 'soda'. We decided that pop is a much better word because pop is fun, 'pop' rocks, 'pop' sicles, blow 'pop's, what's fun about soda? baking soda? that's not cool. However, we will tolerate the use of soda, because we are good people.

in texas, people are so stupid, they call all soft drinks "coke" no matter what they are.
"hey, can you get me a coke?"
"yeah man, what do you want?"
"a dr. pepper."
for posterity, olivuh, you may not be aware - i started law school this year, after getting in off the waitlist in the final day before orientation started. screwed up my final days in bloomfield plans, but so it is.
...and there are a number of Texans in my class, and they're not all stupid.
i once heard all people from boston were so liberal that if someone punches another in the face without provocation, the punchee says "i shouldn't blame him... i should've changed my behavior so that he would be so appeased as to not attack me.'
heads are rolling in baghdad and the only prominent politician willing to deal with it is a Texan. God bless 'em... Boston's resident wuss wants to cut and run; finally showing his true colors.
sorry, i get worked up. time for Tribe's "Electric Relaxation" --and oliver, I recommend Lyrics Born
Whoa there, maybe you need a little common sense as well (pardon the pun) resurrection always seems to show me the positive, non contradictory side of the Mass people's nature such as the kid JFK whose courage in the face of terrorism didn't involve backing down, and inspired the nation to realize why they are better than the commies, instead of just bombing cuba and calling it liberation, damnit now I'm all worked out, I'm bout to check out this Murs CD that Steve-0 left for me
wow. those stupid texans must have a reason for calling all soft drinks coke (although i live in texas and i actually haven't heard that line yet). could it be because the prototypical soft drink was coke, and all others are really just a variation on the theme? what does pop mean anyway? or soda? the wrong half of soda pop? coke is pretty explicit.
yup
wow, too bad sarcasm is much harder to read than hear.
by the way, I'm from texas, used to call all soft drinks "coke," and would not consider myself stupid.
that IS too bad :) i'm in austin. i'm realizing that it seems to be an island in the sea of texas, so not all things texas are represented here. i just learned that the asl sign for coke is the same sign for cocaine, which is pretty ridiculous. used to be to ask if someone wanted a coke, you'd just make the sign for cocaine, raise your eyebrows, and hope they knew the difference based on the atmosphere of the party. now you make the sign for soda pop, and finger spell the kind you want.
Must make life difficult for hearing impaired drug addicts. Completely un-texas related comment, for some reason in my house we call all of the circulars in the sunday paper the 'Kmart papers'. So if Mom has the paper, I'll say 'can I get the Kmart papers.' if she says no then I'll say 'can I just see Best Buy then' aren't colloquial phrases fun?
