What the hell?

Mucovin.
MasCara.

Two different words with very different connotations.

(Note: This was originally written the Thursday before Midsummer weekend started. In addition to the Mucovin, wine and whiskey were involved. Yes Mom. I know it's bad to drink. But this was a drinking holiday. A must do. And we did.)

Mucovin is the elixcir that Leo has bestowed upon Irene's malady. To soothe my loud irritating smoker's cough, I have diligently consumed a 5-10 ml serving of Mucovin ... in a Schnapps shot glass. No teaspoon for Irene when a shotglass will suffice. Ok. So what if the average shot glass fits 20-25 ml, I've had my medically endorsed tonic for the evening. I share this as Tarja and I watch South Park. Yup. America shares it's finest.

(Mom/Dad - a cultural reference follows that is long and sordid. And well, hard to explain. Suffice it to say, Comedy Central has a show with rude little cartoons.)

It's kind of funny; Kyle is 'sick' (because his kidneys are shutting down). Kyle's Jewish sounding mother is convinced that holistic medicine will save her son.... and prevent the need for doctor endorsed surgery. (Kyle's mother's neighbor recommended it - who read about it in People Magazine. A reputable and reliable source.) Turns out the only solution that Kenny's friend learns from his own doctor is the need for a kidney transplant. The 'fat boy' is the only person in town who has the same blood type. Yah. Like Cartman is going to give up anything for free. [The entire time Stan is trying to sell Cartman on the transplant idea, Kyle is pathetically coughing. Kind of like me.]

Hmph. That entire passage is utterly confusing largely attributed to my lack of character names. Sorry. (Remember, I'm medicated at this point. Mucus-wine)

The entire time Mr. Garrison is off writing the novel of his lifetime, as the school has encouraged him to take time off... until the 'whole child molestation thing cools off'. What does Mr. Garrison write? A Harlequin novel...that oddly focuses upon penis' 6,083 times. In one book.

And they say western culture is detrimental. Why?

Mascara
I never noticed the Spanish influence is saying," MoreExpensive" until I witnessed the Finnish reincarnation, MasCara, in Stockman. They sell coats. Hmm.

Commercial

The Brits saying,"We're the nation that drinks the most after the Finns. Hence the saying, 'Have you finished that?'"

Next Commercial

"Yeah, I've always wanted to go to Lappland.
Lappland, the home of lap dancing."

Oy. Finnish programming.

The Onion is too funny sometimes. The author desperately tried to get her mother online.

What NOT to Include in an Essay
" Hemingway includes no modern terminology in A Farewell to Arms.
This, of course, is due to that fact that it was not written recently.
(snort)

Discovered on the WSJ Career Journal's Essay Gaffes. I was poking around a bit and couldn't stop laughing. Prudence (ok, and the fear of getting fired) stops me from sharing more of the classroom giggles, but these are publicly posted:

"Such things as divorces, separations, and annulments greatly reduce the need for adultery to be committed."
.....OHhhhh. So that's how it works.

"For almost all involved in these stories, premature burial has had a negative effect on their lives."

Under Activities: Volunteer (Retarded totor)

Name of Activity: Cook and serve homeless.
..... (Hungry anyone?)

On a transcript: AP Engllish

The end of the semester rolls around, and I find myself pampered in accolade notes.
Read: Bullshit.

Through the generousity of my Italian Chefy in training, I've had the opportunity to learn that essentially anyone can 1) pay for a master's program and 2) maintain a near-perfect G.P.A. I'm too pooped to go into it now, but this semester in particular has encouraged me to seriously consider my future educational goals. Whatever, let's just get that piece of paper out of the way.
