Sesame Street
So I thought this was a funny story to share. I guess you have to know one of my biggest pet peeves is guys wearing girl pants. Or i guess just that whole groups mentality. I mean, could you imagine a hole community like that? If you go to get your car fixed, and a guy comes out to get the keys who shops in the same section as your wife, are you going to hand them over? Now that might be stereo typing but what ever. Anyways yesterday I was in a construction class computer lab in the basement of the C/M building here on campus. Now I had thought that because of the location of the lab, not many other people would know it exists. At least I didn't until last year and I have been in that building for the last 4 years. So apart for the obscure location of the class being a factor, I was also very tired. I have slept maybe 5-6 hours in the last few days because of finals. So needless to say I am not thinking all that well. Anyways we are in the middle of our final class, we have a semester long project due at the end, and the lab is packed with about 47-48 students (there are 50 computers). I guess the other thing to keep in mind is that we are not the prettiest group of student on campus. Just ask Suzanne out of 700 of us C/M majors not one was good enough for her haha. Ok so this guy walks into the lab in the middle of the class wearing black finger nail polish, girl pants, hair over half his face (dyed black), shoes that may sister would think are cute, and a shirt that was made for a small child in 1971. Now i also am wondering when he came in, how do they let him in the testing center here? So there is the situation. He walks in finds his way to one of the only computers that is empty in the middle of the room and sits down. The teacher starts to say "hey we are in the middle of,... well forget it". So most of us just went back to work. But at this point my brain is not filtering anything that my mouth is saying. I also think point break was when he started playing music from a British sounding girl who sings way to high. ya in the middle of our class! So I meant to whisper it, but it must have came out louder than I thought. I turned to one of my friend's and asked hey did you watch Sesame Street as a kid? He said "who didn't". So now this is the point where I think it could have became a little louder than a whisper. I started right in singing, "witch one of these things is not like the others. Witch one of these things just doesn't belong....." The whole class must have heard because everyone started cracking up. Not even the poor teacher could hold it in. I have to hand it to the kid though. Even with the whole class laughing at him, he stayed and kept working. Just for a bit until it looked like he was done doing what ever he was working on then left. I am hoping that he just wasn't listening to what was going on in the class and didn't hear me. Or he could have just been wrapped up in that crappy music to much to notice. I guess I could just be a jerk though. But I still think that it is funny.

I thought it was pretty clever, but mean. Try to be nice :)
As a former outcast, I felt bad for the poor kid. That said, you told the story very well.
I have to say...hmmm.
What would Jesus have done?
I thought it was pretty funny...
Indy and I thought it was hilarious! Guess we are pretty far from salvation.
