1. Me, to roomie: "Psst. I'm naming my Beowulf paper 'Epic Fail.'"


2. Colloquium professor: "But when Godzilla comes, all you can do is yell 'AAAAH GOJIRA' and run, right? [to our Tokyo-born sound design grad student] Right, Hidenori?"
   Hidenori: "Right."


3. Shakespeare professor: "Remember, guys, class is cancelled on Friday because of the OMFG-20." oh my GOD SHE IS THE BEST. WANT TO GROW UP TO BE HER.

Ditto. ^_^

The other day, my museum studies prof told us a fantastic story about this one time he and my archaeology prof (who I call Bones for a good reason) were working the same historic house, and my museum studies prof decided to pull a great prank on my archaeology prof by planting his newly-pulled wisdom teeth in one of the digs...

If you actually name your paper Epic Fail, I think I might owe you Internets in bulk.

POOR HIDENORI.

Also, my moments of quotable collegeness of the week:

ROUTINE CAPTAIN: "Okay, guys, so in the Rumba the boys are going to move out of the line formation and create a wall in front of Andrea."
MERC: "O sweet and lovely Wall!"
EVERYONE: "..."
A-BOMB: *snort*

TAF: "I think I have a pretty cohesive ethical paradigm."
MERC: ":DDDD Be smug with me."

Man, I miss writing down the hilarious things my teachers and classmates used to say.

The only one coming to mind right now is Joe Patterson, who taught astronomy, beginning to illustrate a principle of mass and heat by saying "Let's assume I'm a spherical beach-ball professor."
