You are so right about activity. No joke. I have a Master's and I cannot count how often I was sick from the stress and just sitting on my butt reading and grading all the time.

Whoa. The codeine sangria is definitely worse than the cheapskate sangria. You are so right about alcohol and Tylenol. Better to go with Hair of the Dog than to touch Tylenol after a hangover.

Insane, I know, but I call it "cheapskate sangria."

Actually, my family keeps a box of the burgundy at the ready. A glass of that with a splash of Triple Sec makes for a fun, inexpensive night.

Ah, the 90s, when it was acceptable to go unwashed for days.

Don't forget Myrmey, who, in the most random of all mascot connections, made an appearance on a "Newhart" episode in 1985.

Good, but this still doesn't beat my health and PE teacher, who stood hips width apart and declared, "VD. It don't stand for Valentine's Day."

if only the AP added, "The whereabouts of the cookie remain unknown."

She who can generate a pivot table rules the world.

You made my day with this. I had no idea Ibold was in "Strangers with Candy."

Betty shooting birds, you would be amazed. I had not one but two numbskull coworkers fretting over the Malkmus "Blank Space"cover.

I would totally kickstart the publication of Patti Smith's mom's potato salad recipe.

The fact that she respects work and doesn't think of herself as an artist who must be insulated from the mundane (like potato salad) is so thrilling. I prefer to listen to artists who have something to write about instead of the usual adolescent whining.

Chula Vista is for lovers.

You're a genius. And while I'm guessing "loids" wasn't intentional, it makes "loins" seem appropriately droid-esque.

The mayor of Boston wasted no time getting in touch with his inner Putin.

Amendment to #6: If lunch is provided, do not go for the sandwiches too quickly. My stomach was begging for a tomato-mozzarella sandwich, and I jumped right to the front.

Thank you. As I read, I thought, add the layer of enlisted-vs-officer and this guy will indeed be eating a lot of chicken. I would love to know how he treated his male officers.

You sure this isn't some clever ad for Crest Whitestrips?

I've been suckered into work for "exposure." In my case and in the case of others, it actually did help me find a job during a career change, but I stopped THE SECOND I had enough leverage to get paid. Good for Revolva. Always get paid. You can't eat exposure.
