“So.. are you going for a UVU or Euro- centric Jesus look?” -some guy in my Peace and Justice Studies class, on Jeff’s famous Jesus look. Really. He looks like Jesus- only happy. Except that he just chopped off his Jesus hair so he would appear less intimidating to conservatives he’s working with.

“So you’re saying, the term “Eat Shit and Die” came from the ancient Peruvians in Nasca?” -my friend Ryan in my Bioarchaeology class, on the war- related practice of shrinking the heads of enemies and the discovery of fossilized ancient poo in the mouth of one of the shrunken heads

“Why do I get coffee? It only makes me jittery and AWESOME. But only awesome for about ten minutes, and then I’m back to being jittery. Does it help me write papers and articles? Not really.

I recall going to college and thinking I was so sophisticated when I ate Vienna Sausages….and then I read the ingredients and realized that no one in Vienna would eat that crap. It was my first lesson in Marketing 101.
