In grad school I always used to send a freshman to get orders like this. In person. At Walgreens. On a school Purchase Order.
Kissinger was right. Power is sexy.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

OK, ND, what are the condoms for, their stretchability or their ability to contain, well, stuff?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Perhaps to keep electronic thingies dry?

It is their ability to protect electronics from sweaty actors that adds condoms to the list.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Protection from sweaty actors is a good reason for condoms in general. IJS.

We've also spend a good while learning how to give directions in sign, which is sort of fun:
Hah! See, that made me crazy (though I was taking it 5 hours a day ONCE a week, so that made it seem like we were on that unit FOREVER)--I was like "Damnit, i want to be able to TALK to people, and not just give them directions!!" Plus another semester was a whole thing about describing a room, and explaining where the couch was, and where the table was, etc, which...how often do you find yourself needing to do that? And then there was a whole unit on nationalities, which was interesting in the "so the sign for Chinese USED to be this, which is really offensive, so now it's this instead...", but again...I felt like I took three semesters of sign before I could actually have any sort of conversation at all.

Hee. We did that unit a few days ago. I'm wondering about the sign for Germany -- the "old" one was a swastika, but the "new" one is a finger on top of the head like the point on a Prussian helmet -- I'm wondering if that's an even older sign that got resurrected.
I felt like I took three semesters of sign before I could actually have any sort of conversation at all.
Yeah. A few days ago, when I was waiting for the campus shuttle outside Union Station, someone came up to me and asked (in sign) whether this was where you get the Gallaudet shuttle, and I answered that yes, it is, and he asked if I was deaf, and I said no, I'm hearing, but I'm taking the ASL 1 class. And that was the first conversation I had in sign not with a classmate. But I really can't converse about anything outside that sort of very basic level.

Can we go next week? It was delicious.
Sure. I guess that's where we'll go for brunch before shipping you back on the train.
I'm so jet-lagged I can't see straight.
Then your aim will probably improve, Drew.
