I'm a tea person, but it amounts to the same thing. And I agree on the beer part. Though gin is far more like water for me, in terms of drinkability. So much so that I can't buy it anymore, because I'll run through a 26er in about two hours. And then the alcohol kicks in, and I'm ruined.

Oh good ol Monty Python. I'd have to say my most favourite movies of his would be between the Holy Grail, and the Life of Brian... both were undoubtedly hillarious.

[QUOTE=Aegis]It is a wonderful dose of British humour, which is quite similar to the humour Canadians have developed. Humour which DW, myself and Hill are trying to impart upon SYM. Most of it is stuck somewhere between profound and idiotic, but we love it.

I feel so proud to be labeled with such beings as yourself and DW, there, Aegis.
I don't drink beer, hate the aftertaste in most of the stuff. Love whisky, scotch, rye... you may see a pattern here.

Well... *trying* being the operative word here....
What do you mean coffee and beer are the vital nutrients for a student? I'm no longer one, but I can't function without at least two cups of coffee in the morning. As far as beer goes, I rarely refuse a good import or microbrew

Tea is nice, but I tend to drink it mostly when I am sick, or have run out of coffee grounds (such as the unfortunate circumstances I have found myself in this week).
I think my buddy Troope was supposed to be in that philosophy exam today. Not sure, though. Been a while since I have spoken to him about the classes he is in...

I've been marking essays to help out my dear old friend. Quite old and forgetful now, actually. I don;t know what that means, in age, or that he went to many times the the Carnivale.
SO has a few students coming in after the holidays, so we had to cut our own a little short, but we love our work, so we hang in their.
Aegis, I love seeing such devout support for the Ferguson's.

Well, that is understandble. I mean, it would be foolish to assume that of a large class, you would happen to know the precise person I am speaking off, especially considering they may or may not actually be in said class

Oh man, do I hate neo-hippies. Some girl posted on the Brock Livejournal community about possibly attending Brock next year, and some guy got all activisty on how Brock caters to the privileged homogenous majority. It was stupid.

Chapter fourteen especially. *nod* It explained much. Also, I learned many things about the provinces.
Don't try to use granola mucnher on DW that much anymore, it seems to have lost it's effect lately. W'll just have to continue with the stunned tree hugger hippy ideal.
GB seems to be slowing down...or is that my browser?

I haven't been "stunned" in quite a long time... I think parenthood makes you responsible and boring or something..
I'm having no problems, so it could be your browser or something else on your end.

[QUOTE=Hill-Shatar]GB seems to be slowing down...or is that my browser?[/QUOTE]Not just you. I am getting a bit of a lag as well.
@Aramant: Well, something that must be taken into consideration at Brock is that there are a lot of well-to-do Italian families that send their kids to Brock because it is in town. But, they are hardly the majority at Brock. And the idea of declaring that students on OSAP loans are privledged is a joke. I know a lot of students who are on the verge of poverty because they only have enough money for school, and meagre amounts of groceries. The case that popped up is that of, as St. Justin put it, psuedo-intellectualism. I would not be entirely surprised to see if the person who made the comments turns out to be the product of a Catholic upbringing, who has turned his back on religion. I mean, the amount of self-inflicted guilt screams Catholic upbringing all over the place.

Come out to Ontario. I am sure between Hill and myself, we could figure out a way to stun you
