Top Ten (y'all deserve it)

Ok, i guess it's high time i actually responded to tzipster's tag a few days/weeks/whtvr back, so here we go:

TOP TEN WAYS
you KNOW
you've been in YESHIVA toooooooo long.

1. When you wake up in the morning, you start subcontiously punching and kicking in hopes of getting the vecker.
2. You shower in shower shoes, a bathing suit, a bathrobe, a swim cap and a fly swatter .
3. You find yourself replacing entirely random words in sentences with "zach".
4. You're a vegetarian.
5. You think "crazy night party" translates into "buying a soda at the local convenience store".
6. You suddenly develope a firm an unyeilding belief that you know how to play guitar. well.
7. You think it's socially acceptable to walk up to people unprovoked and bash them over the head with heavy books, as long as the books say "sefer millim" on the cover. you also think the heavier, the better.
8. You eat chulent on Friday night right before going to bed at two a.m.
9. You start to call your rabbeim "sir", and you adress all your english teachers in the third person, as "rebbi".
10. You start to think beis medrash might actually be a good idea.
11. You have to be talked into listening to the music on your mp3 player.
12. Your response to fire alarms is to locate the nearest alarm, scowl at it menacingly, and then pointedly ignore it.
13. You will eat yeshiva food.
14. You have a water pump built into your dorm room.
15. You've finally gone and put your teffillin on backwards.
16. You begin plastering your own dorm room walls with graffiti.
17. Your forehead permanantly adheres to your desk, leaving you hopelessly crippled.
18. You begin to blame all of your worldly troubles on your alarm clock.
19. You are willing to skate for 45 minutes down a steep hill in the pouring rain to pick up a ten pound bag of charcoal (wth?) for your friend who shortchanged you and then come back uphill with the bag somehow levetating in front of you
AND YOU ACTUALLY THINK YOU'LL BE BACK IN TIME FOR YOU GEMARA FINAL WHICH IS IN 5 MINUTES
20. You start to think you're having fun.

I'd better stop.

Nice top ten. wait a minute...dont top tens usually have ten things in it? The funny thing about it is, all of those things you said were mostly true, except maybe the forehead one.

22. You forget to blog weekly because they don't let you do it in school. As a result, you take WAY TOO LONG to accept the fact that you have been TAGGED!! Oh, and you don't tag anyone else. I'm feeling depressed. Perhaps I will go stick my head in a bucket.
It will probably be empty.
First I have to find a bucket.

haha. an empty bucket. ha!

How sad but true... except 4. What are you talking about?! My senior year, we had 4-5 Foremans confiscated many times each! (They somehow "reappeared" quickly...)

And I avoided 1 3 and 19, and we took care of 12 by removing the batteries. That made someone really upset, though...

.30cal said...

lol. for us the foremans were never returned. hence, #4.
you can take the batteries out of those things? cuz they're a little screwy on my side of the block... going off like, every five minutes...

Foust said...

The one time they went off all sunday. it'd be real nice to be able to take out the batteries.

.30cal said...

well, after a while just taking out the batteries wouldn't be enough anymore. some of those days i coulda gone gone at that thing with a shotgun.

.30cal said...

if i'd had a shotgun.
