Niceguy Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Oh man, that's hilarious! Cool prof. Poor girl! (And yeah, WTF?! After 10 tiems times or whatever - just SHUT THE HELL UP, RIGHT? If she's any more blessed, she'll rise right out of her seat and disappear through the ceiling! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!)

Morningsmith Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Your prof sounds awesome! Shame to have the obs obscured though. Link to comment
Jules Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 That's great! Thanks for sharing, Aku. Sounds like an interesting class, in more ways than one. Link to comment
Sneesee Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 This made me laugh! I totally knew that you going back to college was going to be fun! And funny how his yelling made her stop sneezing! And what's the deal with compulsive blessers? Hey, I feel sort of like Jerry Seinfeld right now. I bet after his little outburst about blessing, you like Professor McCrazy even more! Link to comment
arrowswift Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) Your professor is pure awesome for that. And I'm not the only one who HATES compulsive blessers? Excellent. I thought I was weird for wanting to stab people who felt the need to do it every single time during a fit. Edited September 2, 2007 by Emelda Link to comment
Geist Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Oh gods, no! I DESPISE compulsive blessers with an unholy passion! McCrazy is ALL KINDS of awesome for that, I must say! In fact, I can't stand it when people bless someone every single time during a massive fit as if it's their sworn duty to do so! Whoo, high-five! ~Aku Link to comment
army-girl Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I'm laughing, I'm laughing hard ^.^= I can totally hear the accent, man... that's good Link to comment

K.Matsuri Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 If she's any more blessed, she'll rise right out of her seat and disappear through the ceiling! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!)That is amazing. I love that McCrazy did something about it! Seriously, that'd get on my nerves, too.And down with compulsive blessers! They drive me nuts, too. Link to comment
vote_for_pedro Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 This was one of the most amusing obs I've read in quite a while! The only thing that kept me from laughing harder than I did was my sympathy for that girl. I would've died of embarrassment if a crazy kilted man yelled at someone because of my wee bit of an allergy! Link to comment
Poppy Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 This was so freaking funny, i had to read it over twice Your college professor sounds awesome! Link to comment
Geist Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hehehe, he's SO my favorite professor! For those who are wondering, the girl wasn't embarrassed at all. She was actually GRATEFUL that he barked at everyone to shut the hell up. I was standing by his desk after class to ask him about some book we're reading and she came up to him and said that....and I quote: "Thanks for that. I wish people would just pretend not to notice when I start sneezing. I'm not in church. I don't need the blessing." Link to comment
tFM! Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 LOL! Why can't I know this guy? He sounds TOTALLY AWESOME!!! Link to comment
count tiszula Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 He lectures in a kilt? I don't suppose he enters playing the bagpipes and has bright red hair and a beard...?Lovely story; and I don't think I've ever heard anyone bless anyone else during a lecture; except possibly in a tiny whisper; so perhaps it's more of a local tradition which he is not used to [ and not likely to be, either].

spin721 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 That's the funniest thing I think I've ever read about a college professor. I had some crazy professors as well, but that guy just rocks. He says the stuff that people are afraid to say. Link to comment
Vetinari Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 What does he wear under his kilt? Is he a true Scotsman I wonder?????? Link to comment
Geist Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 He lectures in a kilt? I don't suppose he enters playing the bagpipes and has bright red hair and a beard...?LOL, he would eat you ALIVE for that stereotype, dear Count! While Scotland does have the highest concentration of redheaded people in the world, it is not the predominant hair color. McCrazy has black hair and is clean-shaven. Link to comment
poiub Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 We do all play the bagpipes though. Link to comment
Guest Microfine19 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Oh, that was great! I could totally picture the whole scene, especially your prof. and his accent! Thanks! Link to comment
Lynne Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 He lectures in a kilt?

While Scotland does have the highest concentration of redheaded people in the world, it is not the predominant hair color. McCrazy has black hair and is clean-shaven. yum.... a hebridian! (not necessarily, but that's where the "black blue eyed" scots tend to be descended from (lowlander, rather than the blonde or redheaded highlanders). Although I suppose "Hebrides" is a rather narrow area to attribute that to. Link to comment
Bombast Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Those of you who saw the Duder show on YouTube may remember the character Zev Abrams declaring that after the third consecutive sneeze, according to Abrams' Law, there is no requirement to continue blessing and it goes into the realm of asking if they need a tissue etc.Maybe a twelve step program for compulsive blessers could be initiated by Aku and her prof. I've seen some of these people on the bus and they really can't help themselves, maybe even more than the sneezers. Link to comment
Geist Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) We do all play the bagpipes though.And you all talk like Fat Bastard from Austin Powers too, right? "GET IN MY BELLY!!!" yum.... a hebridian! (not necessarily, but that's where the "black blue eyed" scots tend to be descended from (lowlander, rather than the blonde or redheaded highlanders). Although I suppose "Hebrides" is a rather narrow area to attribute that to.Ha, he might be amused to be called a "hebridean." He does talk about the Hebridean Celtic Festival quite a bit, however! Still, it's like saying that American women are all "blue-eyed blondes" and all American men wear baseball caps, I guess. McCrazy doesn't have blue eyes, either. They're green. ~Aku Edited September 8, 2007 by Akutenshi Link to comment
