jonny quest was my all time favorite cartoon as a kid (i watched the original when it first aired. i am old).
they made some more in the 80’s, with a rock dude who was an obvious fantastic 4 the thing rip off
then came the absolutely hideous 90’s remake, that was re-tooled into a halfway decent remake before going off the air again
so to re-cap
old old jq = 1337
new new jq = ok
new old jq = meh
old new jq = suxxasaur
yay for johnny bravo, power puff girls, dexter (not that one, beans), space ghost coast-to-coast

It is probably the only thing that raises my hackles quickly….I guess that is why I so enjoy putting on an Irish or British accent when I talk to these fools…I love the color their faces turn.
I have used the “no hablo ingles” routine before. once to get out of a extremely minor fender bump and once to get rid of a intoxicated male bar fly…
Johnny Quest episode with the nasty things that looked like single eye spiders…gave me nightmares for weeks…

purple jension (no idea how to spell) is what all the engineers use to dye themselves purple for frosh week and homecoming. it takes a long time to wear off, especially if it gets on the teeth. they all look like the undead minus being half eaten for a week after.
i don’t remember much of johnny quest, although i used to watch it as a lass in virginia. and johnny bravo.

Who does he report to? I get that he is the chair of the department, but he has a boss and if he is unavailable to you and you have to have this today… go over his head. His boss may be able to at least pull the guy out of the meeting or give you an extension till Monday.

Who is Clive’s supervisor? And what’s with the sucky video?
Work your way up the chain of command. Or ask when the breaks are scheduled in Clivey’s meeting so you can grab him for a minute… or tell them you are pregnant with his child and need to discuss whether you should keep it or abort. At least you’ll get their attention.

oh, i already went in to the office and would not leave until i had explained exactly why they needed to help me. “there’s nothing we can do, you have to wait for clive.” clive is in fucking meetings all day and will be out of town again next week.
to give you an idea of the kind of people i am dealing with, the head of my department made this “music video”
the main office is inhabited by useless secretaries and the man doesn’t even have a phone, or a computer, in his office. theoretically i go to one of/the best universities in canada, but this sounds like someone is running an art school out of his barn.

it’s not baking. it’s not baking at all.
i need to obtain a letter of permission from my faculty and department to take a class at another university next semester – a class that is a requirement for my certification and which IS NOT OFFERED at my school – and i cannot get an appointment with the faculty advisor who will grant the permission, and the departmental chair i need to sign off is only in town TODAY and will not answer my emails. i am so frustrated and panicked, because if i don’t get the requirements i have to wait an entire year to start my final placements and get my fucking B.Ed
this is NOT part of my five year plan.

One of my great-uncles died in WW1, so it’s pretty amazing that his sister, my great aunt Margaret (we called her Mag) lived until I was about 25, I think. My nan, the youngest, lived to 96, but she suffered from dementia. Anyway…

My Crazy aunts are my mom’s sisters, rose. And yes, I have fewer stories to tell these days. Luckily the craziest aunt is still around. My last great aunt died a few years back. She was a cool lady. I never met any great aunts/uncles on my dad’s side; I believe there were a few in the area, but that family is not one for close contact.
Is the coffee starting to take effect, Wade?
Nov 6, 2009 at 5:48 am
Comment #138619
There is a Paul Kelly song, (he’s an Australian singer), called ‘Adelaide’ which I think he penned when he was in his twenties. Adelaide is his home town and kind of turgid – it has the great line
All the great aunts are either insane or dead
You probably have to listen to the whole thing to get an idea of the song. A little snapshot. I can direct you to where you can hear it if interested.
My mum’s brother is still alive. Another died when he was 27. My Dad’s family is all step-brothers and sisters, or half. I never knew them too well. But out of 2 step-aunts one is dead, as is my step-uncle. My dad’s half sister (much younger) is still alive. On his side some of my great aunts might still be alive.
Nov 6, 2009 at 5:38 am
Comment #138618
all my great aunts/uncles died before i was born or when i was little
