What's your favorite beverage (other than plain water)?

The last time I nearly had a heart attack was in college... I was in my senior year, last semester. All that stood between me repeating a class in July and graduating that April was my Automata Theory class, which I failed.

But all students who failed that subject are given a chance to be given the bare minimum passing grade of 60, and that is by the way of taking three straight Automata exams of 50 points each, a passing score of 35 for each test. Pass all three and you pass the course.

I then took the exam, along with 27 other students who failed that subject. I took the exam on the same day I found out that I failed the subject, so I had minimal time to review. I had to rely on stock knowledge and quadruple-checking every item to ensure a correct answer.

2 days after that, our Automata professor gathered each of us in the red list in the same testing room, and he was holding our test papers. He told us with a stern face that none of us passed. My heart sank deeply - my thoughts were racing with various thoughts, I was utterly devastated.

...

Then he walked down the room, got in front of me and said "... except you." and handed me three papers with "PASS" stamped on each of them.

I literally fell out of my chair. My heart is beating so fast due to happiness I thought I will die on the spot.

A six-ful of awesome. Thanks, Jacob. And nice avatar too. Gigolo Goku, nice.

Interesting news. More so if other studios do it as well if this proves to be successful.

I have reservations for and against most graffiti artists. On the grounds of what and where... somewhat like a set of sieves for me.

What they're doing is the first I look at - if it's a mural or a nice work that looks decent and civilized, it passes. If it's scribbles of gang signs or unintelligible signs and wordings, it's basically not art but shit.

The location is important too - is it in an allowed place or area? If it's not, it's a work of a vandalizing criminal and not that of an artist. Goes to show some respect for property if the artist only paints his stuff on legal and permitted areas, and respect goes a long way.

Hug. Warm hug.

I'm tired. Might as well bite out a chunk.

As a result, Bryan Danielson got fired. Word is that him choking Justin Roberts with his tie (I guess the script was to be improvised) got over the PG rating.

Thanks for the releases, Jacob... and good luck with Jersey Shore the panel.

If only "destroy" is an option... *sigh*

Bite.
