    I have a final Monday in Ops Management, a financial analysis paper due Tuesday, and a final the following Monday in Financial Accounting. I am actively soliciting suggestions for things I can do other than studying, researching, or writing my paper. Please be creative. So far all I have come up with are:

    * Sit on the kitchen floor and eat paint chips
    * Drink bleach and sing Eagles songs
    * Watch C-SPAN
    * Work on my romantic fantasy novel where I pork Estelle Getty and then defeat Batman to win the heavyweight championship

    I know, these all sound like fun. You're probably wondering why, with so many fun healthy wholesome Christian activities to choose from, I need help from the BBS. WELL EAT ME, I JUST WANT TO BE LOVED, IS THAT SO WRONG?

    He's already done that.



    You can do what I'm doing today. Hanging Christmas lights.

    Oh wait, you're not married, you still can make your own choices.

    You could always rant endlessly about why building Stadiums with taxpayer's money is a sign that the apocalypse is nye.

    And you're my age. Shouldn't you be done with school by now?

    Awesome.

    Elephant: no, I go to UT.

    FFB: you have to remember it took me ten years to get my undergraduate degree. My duties with Delta Squad Attack Force 9 often interfered with schoolwork and my professors were not sympathetic when I tried to explain that my obligations to an elite paramilitary covert ops strike force superseded my obligations as a student.

    Hopefully my graduate school professors will be more sympathetic when I try it again here in a few days.

    Ok, I think I know how you can get your degree...

    As soon as you get your test, hit triangle square triangle triangle circle x circle up down up down triangle left right left right.

    That should open the "degree" level. Then go to the princess from the right side as "junior Mario" (not super Mario. she'll turn you into a mushroom.)

    Once she speaks, hit circle square three times, and you get to pick what degree you want.

    Now you need to get the arrow and find the frog. For undergrad FA degrees, you need to find the little sigma. (it looks like a bomb)

    As soon as you find the little sigma, take it to the daddy sigma (it looks like an "E" on steroids) and have them copulate.

    Voila! Your degree will arrive in two-three weeks.

    You go to UT? I'd go truckin' around the area, chatting up every attractive girl I saw. In a couple of hours, problem solved.

    Of course, the rain doesn't help. :(

    Halo 2 has made me the BEST procrastinator EVER.

    Seriously... 7,500 words worth of term paper? done in one 13 hour sitting the day it was due.

    Final exam? Study 16 hours straight and then accidently sleep through it because of Halo.

    I would suggest the new Grand Theft Auto, if you have a PS2. Grove Street needs you!

    As much as I love NFL football, I can't concentrate on watching the Texans today.

    I'm too antsy about the selection show at 4pm. ESPN is projecting us to go to the Rose Bowl against Michigan.

    I"m a UT alumnus and my dad is a Michigan alumnus.

    We WILL be flying to Cali to watch this game live if this situation comes to fruition.

    Go shoot something...

    What's cool is to do a homestyle mythbusters...

    Here is your experiment, Perceived Myth: A 9mm round can penetrate more than a .223 round...Use the 115 grain full metal jacket ball round for the 9mm and use a 55 grain weight full metal jacket round in .223

    The reasoning on choosing this ammo, is because both of these are representative of being the most commonly available in that caliber and both are considered to penetrate well when compared to hollowpoints...

    Both rounds are employed in CQB tactical situations by special operation groups like SWAT, or Military units such weapons as the MP-5 carbine or Beretta pistol are examples in 9mm. For .223, a tactical M4 carbine would be an example...

    Weapon selection:While you can't get a cool HK MP5 with 8.85" barrel, you can use a Beretta pistol, Glock or even Beretta CX4 Storm...(The 16" barrel adds about 150 fps of velocity over a 5" handgun)

    In .223, Get a Bushmaster M4 carbine with a 14.5 or 16" barrel

    Testing materials: Get 4 qty. of 6x6 posts...

    Go out to the backyard and proceed to dig holes, line up two of the 6x6 posts directly behind the other. The idea is to have two posts that will serve as targets, one for the .223, the other for the 9mm...Now the fun part...

    Stand at 25 yards away and shoot...Check the penetration. Did the 9mm penetrate the first 6x6 post at all? Did it penetrate into the second? Do the same for the .223, any similarity? Which will penetrate more? How much damage was absorbed into the posts?

    Please let us know about your findings...Remember, in tactical shooting, overpentration can be dangerous. Try not to shoot the neighbors...

    BK,

    Find an umbrella and be real inventive about all the different uses you can do with it. That should keep you occupied for hours.

    I'm ascared of girls. :(

    Nope. 384T. I wasn't smart enough to major in something worthwhile as an undergrad.

    The judge says I can't own an umbrella... there was some unpleasantness, I can never go back.
