IJMC - Collegiate Application, Part Deux
Many of you may have seen the original one of these and I know it's seen
its way through the IJMC a long time ago. If you haven't seen it, this
may not be quite as humorous, but I'll be glad to pass along the original
upon request.
Remember that headache I mentioned yesterday? Well, I'm not sure if it's
actually gone or hiding behind a wall of painkillers, but at least I'm
not feeling much right now... -dave
I am a static figure, often seen staring at walls and making ice. I
have been known to flatulate in train stations on my lunch breaks,
making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I shout out
ethnic slurs to Cuban refugees, I write award-winning PostIt Notes. I
manage my hair efficiently. Occasionally, I drink beer for three days
in a row.
I scare women with my sensuous and godlike caps playing. I can pilot
automobiles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook
Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes, which is probably why they
always taste like shit. I am an expert in Star Trek, a veteran in
lunch, and a gringo in Peru.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly
defended myself in my backyard from a horde of ferocious dandelions. I
play bluegrass records, I was ostracized by the Mets, I am the subject
of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension
bridges in my head. I enjoy urban bus riding. On Wednesdays, after
school, I bump into electrical appliances free of charge.
I am an obtuse artist, concrete 'impressionist', and truthless
flunkie. Old men worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy
evening wear. I don't aspire. I am a private citizen yet I receive
mail. I have been caller number nine and won the weekend passes. Last
summer I toured New Jersey. I bowl 200. My daft floral arrangements
have earned me shame in international botany circles. Children
understand me.
I can hurl myself at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once
read the Cliff's Notes to Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David
Copperfield in one day and still had time to revarnish an entire
dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item
in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for my
own voyeuristic pleasure. I sleep once a week: when I do sleep, I
sleep for about five days straight. While on vacation in Canada, I
sucessfully negotiated with a group of Canadian Mounties who had
siezed a small plastic bag from my suitcase. The laws of gravity are
starting to apply to me.
I balance, I heave, I lodge, I frolic, and my bills are unpaid. And
to let off steam, I participate in full-contact channel surfing. Years
ago I discovered the meaning of Farfegnugen but forgot to write it
down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a
Swanson's TV dinner and a toaster oven.
I breed prize-winning germs. I have won bullshit in San Juan,
cliff-diving competitions in my kiddie pool, and spelling bees at my
little brother's fifth grade class picnic. I have played Sega, I have
performed open-mouth surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.
All this and two years ago I graduated from college Magna Cum Laude.
