Tim Rossovich is not tending bar

The label says I’m drinking “kiwi strawberry sparkling flavored beverage.” I actually feel like drinking Warren Zevon’s most famous cocktail, heartbreak motor oil and Bombay gin - and at this point I’d better Google the phrase “heartbreak motor oil” because I’d hate to misquote Zevon, and sure enough, that’s the wording, but then the question that ( Read more... )

Actually, 10W-40 in small doses won't kill you as I can personally attest....please don't ask me why or how I know this, but it does go through your GI really fast.

My buddy makes a killer egg nog at Christmas that he spikes with rum and lighter fluid....he got that idea from some dumb movie.....

I can honestly say that his egg nog has killed more than a few of my remaining brain cells.

Aloha,

Jeff

It's probably a good idea not to stand too close to the yule log while you're drinking that egg nog.

Hello Professor,

I'm writing to let you know that I have more internship opportunities available for students at Mellon Technology. We have moved to a new, more convenient location on West State Street. Joe has been doing quite well, and we have room for about 5 more students (However, that is flexible depending on the turn out). Jessica Manocchio is a candidate right now, but we would like to put together a team of SBU interns to work on designated campaigns. If you know of anyone that you would recommend, who may be interested, and/or who needs to finish up internship hours, please let me know and I will contact them personally. My email is kate@mellontech.com (Or a post on here is fine, too!)

Thanks!!

...I'll pass along another comment he made: "Notice you're alive."

Tough to do, sometimes, I know, but always worth keeping in mind.

Right you are. Thanks for the reminder.

At Least it Wasn't Mountain Dew... sirpaulsbuddy August 30 2005, 01:20:06 UTC

I went to one of those granola fueled lectures in the early '70's by some guy trying to convince us we were all ingesting death manufactured by General Mills, Kraft, PepsiCo, et al. He began the lecture by reading to us from two cans - with the exception of two ingredients, the contents of the two cans were identical.

One was a can of embalming fluid. The other was a can of Mountain Dew.

BTW, one of the ingredients that differed was sugar. You can guess where that one was....

Reminds me of a poem I wrote in college that was inspired by hearing my soft drink de-bubble itself in the can. The last four lines were: My cola hisses in the glass like/a crisp rice rattlesnake./My stomach grumbles loudly at/the crippler within.

I sent it to the local paper, which printed readers' poems at the time, but the editor rejected it, explaining in a note, "The cola manufacturers could sue you and us if we print it. It's not worth the risk."

If that was indeed the case, then they probably had your lecturer whacked.
