Takes two to tango. It's an art, crafting wordplay into finely tuned innuendos like that. Give yourself a pat on the back for that. :)

I just got a call telling me I made the cut for the female division of the university rugby union team.

Nicely done on making the team.
Call me NNA or David, whichever you prefer. I'm an 18 year old freshman at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, planning to major in international relations and minor in Spanish and math. I love music, math, sports, video games, and trivia.

Commuting between my condominium unit and university's pretty easy. I'm from Singapore. Commonwealth country. :)

Thank you, Aqmuland. Thought I'd do something different for my last year in uni.

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Ah, that makes sense. There aren't many places in the world that play rugby after all. Hope you manage to sort out your glasses issue though :)

Godzilla handles everything the military hurls at him: ships, guns, planes, rockets, even a squadron of HALO paratroopers. The only thing that can cut him down to size is being relegated to a supporting role in his very own movie.


Uh...whut? Hasn't that been the case in all of the movies (and yes, I'm intentionally ignoring the 1998 film).

I think I did right. It works, although my handiwork still isn't pretty looking. They are giving me assessment tommorow, because they were too lazy to make assessments for every test participants today. :P

I was kind of hoping they'd have my replacement picked by now so I could go over what I've already gone through with the fifth years. Bugger.
