The Weak in Review 7/12/99
The heat in the triangular area this past week was unbelievable.
It was so hot in lab last week that my bacteria wouldn't divide until I
added Gatorade to their growth media.The Marzluff Lab was so hot that
I caught Zbig mixing liquid nitrogen with his vodka at lunch.
It was so hot that I had to use 5 cans of Right Guard every morning last
week, and that was just on Dr. Sanji in the lab next door (1).

from Letterman et. al. 1999
I was home in PA over the weekend for my grandpops' 80th
birthday. My sister, who is waitressing at Benagins for the summer,
was there. She told me that the surliest thing she ever said to a
customer is "you only get one piece 'a chicken, lady". We also got
to meet this dude Mike who she's been seeing. When my aunt, who grew
up in the same part of Delaware as Mike, asked him which high school he
went to, Mike just rubbed his head, stared at the table, and kept saying
"aw man, what the hell?" When my aunt listed off some schools, he
narrowed it down to "one of those". I know Mikey likes 'um, but you
gotta lay off the inhalants, chief.
My 9 year-old
cousin Connor was there too. Kids are fun right after the X-Games.
Connor was doing street luge down our driveway/street on his skateboard
as the guests were arriving- I kept waiting for my grandpops' 80+
year-old hommies to come in and start bitching about the new speed bump.
The Letterman online top ten contest topic for last week
was "top ten reasons Elton John is in Debt". My entry was "ba-ba-ba
betting on the Jets", but once again I will go free Lateshow T-shirtless
after being passed over for the likes of "thought he could spend checks
he got in the mail from Ed McMahon", proving once again the fundamental
truths that originality is never appreciated and effort is never rewarded.
