Weeeeee're Graduated!

Hey hey hey!

Yep, you know what this means.

Here's my third try at jump-starting this dead old thing. The goal again is to provide anyone reading a post a link into the minds of individual A-men members, and for A-men members to spill any stupid old thought/activities onto this page.

Anyway, stick around for as long as you deem appropriate and I (and hopefully everyone else) will keep on pumping out material for ya'll to drool over. Maybe along the line we'll think of some kinda theme or topic we can stick to. That way it'll be less random and more fun.

Also, I'm shopping around for better websites to do this thing in. If I don't find any then I guess we'll just stick with this.

Now onto other stuff:



-Recently I got a call from Hoss that went something like this -

Hoss: Hey Alex.
Al: Heeeey what's banging dawg?
H: Sup nigga!
A: Yeeeaaaaaahhhhh!!!
H: Hey I need your advice.
A: My advice? What for?
H: Just for this thing.
A: Okay.
H: Should I stick to the original name or "Tase-Mart".
A: What? Tase-Mart?
H: Yeah Tase-Mart.
A: You mean like a taser mart?
H: Yeah.
A: Hell yeah Tase-Mart! I'd shop at a Tase-Mart. For sure.
H: All right. That's good. I'll work with that then.
A: Tase-Mart all the time!
H: Okay that's all.
A: 'kay.


-A few nights ago me, Chrissy, Fox, Hoss, Vic, and Alison met up with beloved Virg, Lisa, and Liezl for a late-night sip o' boba, on the occasion of our collective graduations and 'cause Virg was in town. Naomi got outta work late and wanted to meet up but we were gonna split off for the night, Virg's crew heading over to Mimi's place for a pop-in, Alison to a party, and my A-men to a Walmart for a stroll and conversation, like old times. Naomi heard about our plans and wisely chose to go with Virg's group.

But then, it was getting late, and Naomi didn't have enough time and energy. She called me on accident to cancel her meet-up and it went something like this.

Al: Hey
Naomi: Al? Oh sorry, I accidentally dialed your number. I was trying to call Virg. Keeps happening.
A: Oh no problem, no problem.
N: Hey so are you guys serious about going to Walmart?
A: Of course we're serious we're on our way.
N: What the heck is wrong with you??
A: What?
N: You guys should be doing something cool not going to a stupid Walmart at midnight.
A: What's wrong with a Walmart it's fun.
N: Are you serious there's lots wrong with it. You should be doing cool things like getting boba or something.
A: But we did that already.
N: Well do something else cool.
A: We're going to a Walmart I think that's cool. Walk around 'til midnight like a buncha morons. Fun.
N: Oh I don't understand. Hey next time you do something cool call me.
A: Sure sure, next time we're not going to a Walmart or something you're in.
N: Alright

I dunno I thought that trip to Walmart was fun.



-Hey you know, when I think about it the gang's a pretty broad collective of now certified smart people. In physical sciences we got Hoss in physics, then Fox in engineering. In bio we got Chrissy in neuroscience and Vic in bio ecology and Alison in the health sciences. In the social sciences we got Tom on politics and econ, Chrissy on psychology, Wake in econ and I guess Chinese cultural stuff, and me with my millions of social science nonsense (anthro, politics, law, conflict studies, international studies, sociology). Humanities and arts me and Vic and Hoss cover that well enough (mostly me). That's like a full thing right there.

If we wanted to we could probably turn this place into a really smart blog about all sorts of things happening in academia and stuff.

But probably not, I'm not so sure the others care too much about reading any more articles. Guess we'll stick to jokes and crazy theories.



-More next time!
