Went to the review session for Hinduism tonight. Therefore, I'm not going to attend the one in the morning -- sleep is better. Yay! I can sleep in!
THE SAYINGS OF THE UTTERLY BATSHIT LUNATIC PROFESSOR JOHN NEMEC, AND THE EQUALLY BIZARRE RAMBLINGS OF HIS DISCIPLE IN DARKNESS, CRAIG
Professor Nemec on the world:
"It's kinda cool here."
On information:
"Sometimes it doesn't all go in."
Answering a question:
"It's not that the onion isn't an onion, and I've totally forgotten your question."
On Yoga:
"Yoga... where you put your body in positions... *does bad lotus position* keep your back straight, in breath, out breath, ow ow ow..."
"Bhagavadgita. Geeeeeeeeta."
"That's not on the exam. I don't know why I told you that."
Retelling us part of the Bhagavadgita:
"Then Krsna says -- this is the coolest line ever! -- 'karashabalayalgoablahblahblahnobodyunderstandssanskritsirblahblahblahwlkjalkdjfas..."
"Krsna says, 'Don't be a eunuch!'"
"It's kinda cool to call someone an enemy-burner."
"If it's Veda or Upanisad, and it's not Veda, what is it?"
"Dharma by Asrama -- AS-RA-MAH!"
Nemec: You know the difference between a grad student and a professor?
Craig: Better furniture?
Nemec: When you're a grad student, it's all about 'where do you get the one dollar wings?'
Student: Where *do* you get one-dollar wings?
Nemec: Okay, maybe not. Five-dollar wings.
Student: That's not the same. Not the same at all.
"Football is all about karma. When the guys do the running thing... and the... um... whaddaya call it...?"
"Heaven? Sure. It's... ah, it's really nice. Great place."
On the Buddha:
"He pulled an all-nighter. He said, 'I'm not going to sleep until I reach enlightenment.'"
"You ever heard of tantric sex? I'll show you..."
(Note: after pausing just long enough to freak me out, he continued "...where it comes from. Total bastardization of a tradition.")
"I'm gonna be here... when?... where?"
"The exam is designed for pedagological reasons."
Student: Could you please clarify the difference between atman and brahman?
Nemec: Nope!
"It's been a long day... okay... think... rational... talk..."
"The question was what's the difference. Let's start with... well, let's start with what's the difference."
Student: So they used soma as an opiate?
Craig: It's more like crystal meth.
Craig: "The Buddha never said you couldn't have sex with monkeys! He just said women!"
Hahaha. Anyway, let's see, what else... guuuuh. Can't think. Tired. Oh well. Will sleep soon. Not going home for the reading holiday... might as well stay here. There's more to do in Charlottesville than in Winchester, and I won't have my parents bitching at me. And I'll get some time to myself. Yay.
