Wow. WOW!:

Glass flows just like liquids do, but at such a super-sluggish pace that for all practical purposes it takes on the appearance of a solid at room temperature.

So glass is, like, constantly flowing, just flowing too slowly for the eye to see?

Wow. WOW!

Fucking Larry Young. Let me just say that I have some interesting stories about him, that I'm not going to say here, cos I don't wanna get in hot water. He's a cock.

Awwwww, come oooooooooon, gaspode!

You can't just bring it up like that and then not share any stories. Pleeeeease!

The no comment thing is already ruined if that's what you're worried about. Please tell us a story :)

Ok, so Larry Young is a complete asshole! We're with you...
*listens attentively*

HEY, greasy! Gaspode's gonna tell us a STORY!

*sits crosslegged on floor, head cocked*
i'll trade ya a story of someone else you choose if ya do
posted by ethylene 13 July | 11:11
Alrighty. Shit. I should have just used his initials. Hope I don't get sued.

So... he is in my scientific field. I see him all the time at conferences, blah. (he's not all that... he's riding on the coattails of his old boss, Tom Insell) He's an odious little man - short, slimy, etc.

Aahhh shit... the story's better if you know him. I'll boil it down. He propositioned me for a threesome, (in and of itself is kind of whatever, plenty of ppl get propositioned - apart from the ick factor) but it was not with his wife (who I know and like, but it still wouldn't have convinced me), but with a student. Ew.

So. He's a fucker. The whole thing played out on a dancefloor at the end of a conference (one of the funniest things is watching drunk neurobiologists get dooooown).
posted by gaspode 13 July | 11:18
Oh yeah, and he allows sexism to run rampant in his lab, and the women in his lab all dislike him.
posted by gaspode 13 July | 11:20
Wowwwww!

*wide-eyed*
posted by mcgraw 13 July | 11:25
gaspode rules!

here i'll show you my wallywally.

*pulls down pants for gaspode ONLY*
posted by mcgraw 13 July | 11:29
ok, ethylene, your turn to tell us a story, k?
posted by mcgraw 13 July | 11:33
she picks at a later date but a lot of labs and science fields are like that. still and much and often
you hay'd me, man. it is like so on and so over
posted by ethylene 13 July | 11:35
perhaps a tasteful gift would change your mind?
posted by mcgraw 13 July | 11:41
besides, when i said 'HAY' at you i meant it in the most welcoming and friendly manner, honest.
posted by mcgraw 13 July | 11:43
Yep, ethylene, that's why it's a better story if you know the ppl involved.

And yep, so much of science (and other professions) is/are like that. It's kind of disillusioning.
posted by gaspode 13 July | 12:02
that sucks. i hope the sexism situation improves.

chin up, gaspode, you blaze a vital trail for other women to follow.
posted by mcgraw 13 July | 12:07
mayhaps I would have taken him up on the offer if he had tempted me with Dean and Deluca delectables? heh.

for real, mcgraw, that spice rub set looks great
posted by gaspode 13 July | 12:11
actually, i had hoped to entice ethylene (whose brilliance i hadn't been privy to, til today) to tell us the story she promised, with the meat rubs. seems to have failed.
posted by mcgraw 13 July | 12:23
mcgraw! I missed you. (New to this metachat thing.)
posted by goatdog 13 July | 12:28
Goatdog! Welcome.

Metachat is, let me think of how best to phrase this... much more fun than Metafilter.
posted by mcgraw 13 July | 12:32
I know you were, mcgraw, but damn, you opened up a whole world of food porn for me. (Of course I could just walk to the D&D down the street, but this is more fun).

ethylene...where's your story?
posted by gaspode 13 July | 12:38
i can't take credit, gaspode. yet again, the source of the brilliance is ethylene.

yes, yes. where is her story, i wonder...
posted by mcgraw 13 July | 12:44
... maybe she's writing it and it's real long.
posted by mcgraw 13 July | 12:49
*gasp*
*sigh*
i am determining whether i'm going to stay bra free and indoors as we speaketh
but you didn't pick your person or topic area.
i oddly thought you were going to save it until you had an ooh ooh ooh moment, like gimme the dish on that bitch Portia who thinks she's so not aussie, etc.
note: that option is now out of the running
posted by ethylene 13 July | 12:50
*defers to gaspode on person/topic*

*sits crosslegged on floor, head cocked*
posted by mcgraw 13 July | 12:54
aw hell, don't put me under so much pressure.
posted by gaspode 13 July | 13:04
topic: so wasted you almost couldn't see

or maybe: kicked somebody's ass good

posted by mcgraw 13 July | 13:15
