I would love to see your method. it sounds challenging!
You know, when I was a freshman in college and had to take Biology, a subject at which I was not outstandingly brilliant, I had a notebook for which I should have received an Art scholarship. It was breathtakingly beautiful. Done in several shades of ink, outlined neatly in my best handwriting, (and I have lovely writing, if I do say so), people would stop by my desk to admire it.
Unfortunately, though lovely to look at it, it was a dumb blonde of a notebook. I failed the course.
I refuse to take full blame for this. My high school Biology teacher, a Miss Dunlap, who wore big, heavy corrective shoes and in the middle of her lectures would suddenly lift a leg and stomp her foot into the wastebasket with a loud "HAAA!!!", graded us on the number of grasshoppers we caught. My college roommate had dissected a foetal pig. I had chloroformed grasshoppers and counted them.
And then, in Biology lab, I cut open my frog and he was a she. And extremely pregnant. And all her little froggy organs were shoved up into her throat by a mass of yellow stinky eggs. Really. All those dead froglets. I felt so guilty. How could I do my best work at such a disadvantage? I was a Catholic for heaven's sake. My partner and I spent many labs just trying to pull the organs back into place, not that we had any idea where they had started.
A five year old today has more knowledge of anatomy than I do. Ammo's favorite game was this little monster whose tummy opened up and you poured "Monster Goo" in him and then took out all his parts with a plastic tweezers.
Which reminds me of that new toy I saw on Power Lunch today. Did anyone see that? Gus Gutz?? This soft stuffed animal with a big mouth that you reach down and pull out his intestines and other organs. Gus completely outshown TAVA, the stock I happen to own a lot of and whose CEO appeared after Gus, and rather at a disadvantage, unfortunately.
Which is why I'm in a bad mood and rambling like this.
No, I have never scored a basketball game,though I've been a timer. |
