Sabotage


Not really sure how I conceived this ridiculous idea, but I decided ron and I needed to pose as cops resolving a hostage situation. Which let's face it is exactly what marriage is all about. Luckily for all in attendance Brendan, who is a corrections officer at Cuyahoga County Jail, did not bring his Glock. I was begging to hold it because I didn't have a prop. Ray's dad, who was a real cop, I'm sure thought we were ENORMOUS idiots. Between our two cameras there are probably 10 pictures where we couldn't compose ourselves and look serious.


Next we have a picture of Stemmy fresh from shooting Reno 911 on location. He was also showing off because he know he doesn't need a car door to block his belly.

You two look like a couple of boobies.

You asked for it Spunce.

1) You conceive of an idea or plan, you don't conceive it. Its an anatomically incorrect corner you painted yourself into.

2) You wrote: "Which let's face it is exactly what marriage is all about"-- you are combining 2 ideas without any puncutation separation of thought-- correct: "Which, let's face it, is exactly what..." like saying "I am smart," Scott said, "But I did not think twice before I asked Ron to correct my grammar on my blog"

3) You wrote: "He was also showing off because he know he doesn't need a car door to block his belly". While absolutely accurate, Palumbo "knows" he doesn't, but more importantly, you still managed to combine 2 tenses: "He was" implies past to some degree, while "he know(s)" implies current.

Goodbye for now

Brutal. There's A LOT to be said for thinking BEFORE you ask Roni to edit/critique the blog.

Spungalo said...

Again, if I took the time to edit, there would be minimal problems.

Certainly I'll agree that I'm an idiot; I chose to waste 2 hours last night putting pictures up on a blog, when I could have been in bed.

When I begin receiving a grade for my work I will be extra careful. Until then, it's just free form journal writing.

Perhaps, Ron will someday leave the world of Academia and enter the real world.

And in the picture Palumbo was showing off, but right now as I speak he still knows he doesn't have to hide his belly.

Can Ron proof read Alexa's papers when needed so I can stop that portion of my mom duties????????

Spungalo said...

I've heard him talk about his OSU students and he can just stay the hell away from my niece, thank you very much.

LOL. 2 things (none of them corrections):

I like how people claim that those in academia are not in the "real world". In what way? Don't we have bosses? Don't we work in bureaucratic organizations? When your hours change from 7 to 3 weekdays, to 40-50 hrs per week, every week, then you can rival my workload. If that ain't real world, I don't know what is.
What do you think about that, bitch?

Spungalo said...

Wow! You want some Novocaine for that little nerve i touched?

I can't currently argue my situation, because my job has changed, but if you don't think I put in 40-50 hour weeks, you are nuts.

Thing is, are you there to work or receive your PhD? I taught and worked on my Masters, however didn't refer to both as working, even though I need to complete it to continue teaching.

I teach a college course each quarter (4/yr); hold office hours; prepare lectures, assignments and examinations; grade papers and exams.
I also read and become an expert on the scholarly literature in multiple fields related to my interests; prove that knowledge in general examinations, a written test (16 hrs over 2 days) followed by an oral defense (1-2 hrs); write an original dissertation that typically incorporates the equivilance of 3 full scholarly research articles, approx 150 pgs; this dissertation involves creating a theoretical framework to guide my research, quantitative statistical analysis of large-scale data sets, accurately interpreting and reporting the findings; and defending this document (tome) to a University-wide committee of 5.

I also am doing original research on the impact of fraternities and sororities (building upon my original master's thesis) on outcomes like academic achievement and college graduation/years of attainment; I am writing grants to foundations that have an interest in pursuing research like this (NPHC, NIC, American fraternity Advisers, etc.), which involves writing individual proposals to multiple foundations, following Institutional Review Board protocol (protecting human subjects from harm during research), and physically collecting survey data from respondents in multiple chapters, both black greek organizations and traditionally white organizations, across states and regions, and college type (historically black, predominantly white, private, liberal arts, state funding). Unfortunately this Greek work doesn't get the dissertation done (which has to be on early education, not higher or post-secondary education), so the midnight oil gets burned (probably with a flock of seagulls in the background).

So I do consider it working, 7 days/wk with the occassional day off to get sloshed at a wedding and argue with a great friend the whole weekend (who subsequently picked an argument with 2 other lads in the same restaurant).
Idiots.

Spungalo said...

Man, you sure are working hard to avoid a real job.

I only picked the argument with Terry, and I apologized to him, and explained my thinking. Stemmy got mad at us, you were insulting me.

Maybe you should do research on the effects of napkins on morons that were bested in a kill the microbrew keg contest. You could also draw from personal experience.

Those 2 idiots in the first picture should be in jail

Hey, were good cops!

I can't imagine why Palumbo got mad at Pop's that we were arguing in front of him; its not like we'd take that out in public

Excuse me, Toby. I'm heading out to lunch and I'm a little short. You wouldn't happen to have $125,000 I could borrow?
