So, one my current favorite shows is Chuck. A while ago I even changed my mood theme to a Chuck one, and in my opinion changing a customized mood theme is a pain, so you know I'm hugely in favor of Chuck. And there are rumors that Chuck might not be signed for another season, which would be terrible, IMO.
So in that vein, here's

So. In the Neville thread on the SQ, people have been making Neville Longbottom jokes comparable to Chuck Norris Facts. Which gives me a fic idea. And I am tired, so excuse any sort of errors, and sorry for general suckiness.

I've probably whined about this too much to some of you, but I'm glad to say that we finally got that drabble thread going in 87 Rolls in the SQ. Please go over and take a look and consider writing something. It's just three hundred words, tops. I don't want to write the first entry but I will if I have to. The first prompt is "window."

Wrote this a few minutes ago. I feel significantly less disgruntled now than I did before I wrote it, and I kind of like it, and seeing as this is my journal, I figure that is reason enough to post it.

World War II Professor: So, the Germans couldn't send in tanks when they were invading the Netherlands. There were too many canals. We've all heard the story about the little Dutch boy who put his finger in a...*clears throat* You know, I probably could have phrased that better.
*A few minutes later*
Professor: So after Hitler and the Nazis took over France and the Lowlands (the Netherlands and Belgium), he invited Mussolini's war machine in. Mussolini was ecstatic. He wanted some booty! *Pause* In the sense of the spoils of war...I really have to word things differently.

U.S. Colonial Period Professor: (Is talking about system of farming in England): So the colonists were farming like people did in England. Crop rotation, and Jethro Tull and the like-
Student A: Wasn't Jethro Tull the guy who played the fife or something?
Professor: No, that was a band, and they named themselves after a farming business man who lived a couple of centuries earlier. So the colonists could plant wheat-
Student B: Wait, so Jethro Tull wasn't the guy who played the flute?
Professor: No, it was the name of the band. The guy who played the flute was in the band. His name was Ian Anderson. Since the colonists planted wheat-
Student C: Didn't like Jethro Tull get the first Heavy Metal Grammy in the eighties or something?
Professor: Yes, yes, and Metallica got all pissy, which is certainly a drastic change of character for them. Now, we are going to go back to talking about the extremely fascinating subject of crop rotation.
This professor also a carries around a pocket watch, and on his bag he has pins of Fry and Bender from Futurama.
There was also a strange moment in my Eastern Central Europe class, where I thought the professor said the leader of Hungary before WWII was Mister T. In my defence, the guy's name was Horthey, which is pronounced "Hor-TEE", only with sort of a rolling r, which I can't do. Counting against me, though, is the fact that Prof has said this name serveral times before, and he was talking about Hungary, so the first thing that popped into my head should NOT have been Mr. T.

Seriously, how can I comment on this except to point and laugh? And maybe make plans to start printing Jules' campaign posters?

Spring break is over. I have to go back to school tomorrow. I didn't do
anything interesting, like go to Cancun or even Cape Cod, though I
don't think that would be any better than where I am now. I really
didn't even get anything accomplished, like homework. I got some
reading done. I got some writing done, and then my computer crashed and
I can't get word back on my laptop until I go back to school. Suppose I
could have used, you know, pen and paper. Meh. Anyway, so I can feel
psuedo-accomplished, here's something I wrote a few months ago, but I'm
pretending I wrote it today. Nothing serious, just for fun, but I'm told it's made people laugh.
