Oof says:
that took a while. got distracted in the hallway by robin, et al. kramer is apparantly going to be 40 next week

Panz@work says:
OLD FART

Oof says:
he's acting like it. he seemed to not even know that he was 40. senile, or denial, who knows?

Panz@work says:
he gets to have one of those barium enemas! YAY!!!

Oof says:
LOL, i can ask him, or better yet, i can ask Robin to ask him, since she was the one kind of announcing his upcoming birthday to his class anyway

Panz@work says:
he gets to stick a cue ball up his hoohah

Oof says:
you have a doctor with a very strange sense of humor, or else he really likes a challenge at billairds

Panz@work says:
i'm not forty yet

Panz@work says:
MOON RIVERrrrrrr

Oof says:
lol, i know

Oof says:
rofl

Oof says:
having the share the barium enemas stuff with robin i think lol

Oof says:
if i actually HAD barium enemas here i would, of course, try to give all of them/it/the stuff away

Panz@work says:
hehe

Panz@work says:
I think they come in a bucket

Oof says:
is this wrong for "Explain how RADIUS works"

"Sent data round like a circle then data come back to you . So you know it sent successfully."

???

Panz@work says:
That's DIAMETER, doofus

Oof says:
ah, thanks, that helps

Oof says:
see, there ARE disadvantages to growing up in Arkansas, i KNEW there were!

Panz@work says:
hehe

Panz@work says:
it's funny how they answer questions like they can trick you

Oof says:
funny like an open wound lol

Panz@work says:
lol

Oof says:
an open wound on me. an open wound on someone else might cause one to chuckle, wrong though it could be

Panz@work says:
that can be funny

Oof says:
robin laughed, then asked if you weren't "not far behind" kramer

Panz@work says:
I have four years, @$%#@%%@

Panz@work says:
I can clench like a bear trap

Oof says:
lol, i told her it was a few years still

Panz@work says:
besides, I might be looking forward to it

Panz@work says:
you never know -- maybe all the horror stories are told to keep demand down

Panz@work says:
If they said -- COME ON IN -- THESE ARE THE BEST, then all the barium ponds would be dry and then where would all the barium fish live?

Panz@work says:
it's simple economics

Panz@work says:
DUH

Oof says:
you make an excellent point. i suspect that is exactly what is happening

Panz@work says:
you should try it first

Panz@work says:
lemme know if my theory holds....ummm..barium

Panz@work says:
i'm posting this thread to the forums -- i think it's a keeper

Oof says:
umm, i'll take that under consideration, but i suspect there are older folks than you and me on the forums (yes, i'm over the barium mark but have dodges that bullet) and perhaps some of our european cousins already have first-hand knowledge of this topic and they can share with us. i don't want to do this research, i really don't!

Panz@work says:
hehe

LOL, I did not understand what the hell you guys were talking about!

Is that a bad sign?

LOL, sometimes we get bored when it's final examination days at school here Zataki, and we're waiting for our students to finish. It is rumored that conversations can sometimes take an strange detour.


Background: I had stepped out of my classroom for a couple of minutes. That timeframe turned into more than a couple of minutes when I bumped into another teacher who was making a surprise announcement in a friend's classroom that the friend would be turning 40 years old next week. The revelation about his upcoming birthday led into Panz' and my discussion about medical tests, the revelation that I apparantly can't spell billiards, etc.

You might not be able to tell that we are two highly respected intellectuals.

You would be correct Panz. I have trouble believing you two are respected, and yet I respect you...tell me what that means.

Regardless, I found this conversation VERY funny, and reminiscent(sp?) of conversations I have with my friends.

Pan all i have to say is


Armageddon

That's because barium enemas is always VERY funny talk.

So, what do you do with your free time at work?

What is this FREE time at work you speak of?

That was quite funny though I'm not sure what a barium enema is. . .I have a husband over 40 . . well. . .he knows what they are given that he's a nurse. . .maybe he can explain it to me. .

Isn't it what they do to you just before a lower GI series to check your lower colon? The barium makes your gut glow in the X-ray or something so it will show up better. Needless to say, it's something I hope I never want done!

/me steers well away of Florida and Panzer's and Oof's neon glowing body parts...

ROFL

hehehehehe Nakamuro

Panz and I DO live on the Space Coast... They used to give those poor astronauts barium enemas back in the old days as part of their physicals (or so I have read). I'm not sure exactly why though. I don't know if the doctors didn't really know exactly what they were looking for, or if the docs were mad because they weren't getting to go into space and were taking it out on the astronauts, or what.

Anyway, I'm going to say that it is Panzer's finely honed sense of history that brought up the barium enema reference upon learning that one of our fellow instructors would soon be turning 40, instead of saying that Panzer just has a skewed way of looking at life. Although, I still think that it's a funny thread.
