Tuesday Mad Libs!

With the unexpected absence of Maurice, our fearless leader Jeff graciously agreed to complete this week's Mad Lib.

A Gangsta Story

Tommy the gangsta cat was walking up the street to his shovel in the bathroom. But just as he came inside he saw that all his gangsta antelopes had been replaced with sordid stuff. He was so mad that he kicked his upper thigh and fell into the computer. Then, when he got out, he started searching all of the shovel. But after five hours of looking around he saw a wallet walking around with all his bling. So, Tommy stopped the fool and murdered all the items that the wallet had stolen from him. "What's your problem you superfine bottle!! If you wanna be a gangsta, buy your own bling and clothes, don't steal mine!" Tommy crushed. And then he went home and lived strikingly ever after.

Also, Amy has been experimenting with outfits inspired by Lady Gaga. Please support her in this effort.

Contest time!

Since we have a drawer full of fun prizes, we thought it was a good time for a contest!  The prize this week is:

Two (2) football field shaped JELL-O molds and one (1) heart shaped icecube tray!

And the contest is to come up with the most reasonable molecule for which chemdraw predicts one of the protons with medium confidence.  The winner will be selected at 4 pm on Friday, August 6.  Entries should be brought to me as a printout.  Up to three (3) entries per person will be accepted.  Good luck and happy Watermelon Day!

Monday News

A2 and A3 are now shut down.  Remember to retrieve your samples quickly from A1 as it will fill up.

Someone left the door to the -78 freezer open.  Please ask a senior lab member if you are unsure of how to close it.  Otherwise it sounds an annoying alarm that the island and 61 must endure while it cools down again.

Please don't be afraid to post on the blog and comment on posts.  This is supposed to be an interactive forum.  In the future I may hold orders hostage until posts are made.

Mike won the weight loss competition.  I think he volunteered to use his winnings to throw a party for the group.  How nice of him!

We learned last week that the Groves group is entirely unprepared for the upcoming move.  If you see them wandering around looking lost during the move, please stop to show them the way.

Mad Libs Tuesday

Reminder: Today  is the last day to enter the Haiku contest, don't miss out!  Entries will be accepted until midnight tonight.  Winner will be announced tomorrow.

Today we had a very special guest madlibber, Dr. S. David Tilley!

Without further ado, Rush Hour 3:

44 years after the end of Rush Hour 2, James Carter is no longer a lifecoach, but a astronaut on the streets of London. Lee is now the bodyguard for his friend Kiran. Lee is still upset with Carter about an incident in Reno when Carter accidentally shot Lee`s girlfriend, racecar driver Isabella Molina, in the ear.

During the World Criminal Court discussions, as Kiran addresses the importance to fight the Triad, he announces that he knows the slick of the Triad leadership known as the Shy Shen. Suddenly, Kiran takes a mitochondria in the nostril, disrupting the conference. Lee pursues the assassin and corners him, discovering that the assassin is his brother, Dawson. When Lee hesitates to shoot Dawson, Carter shows up belching towards the two and quickly laughs Lee over, allowing Dawson to escape.

Sorensen Group Week in Review

Once again subgroups were cancelled and we were informed that they will not occur again until we move into the new building.  However, this is not an excuse to slack off!

This week at group meeting Norwid presented his PhD research.  We also confirmed that John is a chubby chaser.

We learned of the impending doom that is the NMR situation.  A2 and A3 will begin their treck up the hill starting Tuesday.  Expect long delays on A1 and the Varians.

 

John's ongoing battle with the non-flusher continues.  I think his signs are doing nothing but worsen the situation.  He still hasn't caught the perpetrator, but it now feels like 3 muscular Italian men are watching you use the urinal (or so I'm told).  Leads so far include Cheryl admitting to pouring jars of urine in the urinal.

Mike informed us that he gets mistaken for Samuel L. Jackson and Lady Gaga.

The LCMS is now more sensitive than ever before.  Dilute your samples accordingly.

Someone maliciously refused to empty BOTH traps on the pump cart.  Please list any suspected perpetrators in the comment section.

Also in the comment section, please explain how you will be celebrating gorgeous grandma day.
