In the last two weeks, my lab sink has gone wonky and flooded the lab around six times. Actually - I lost count after time #6.

Guess I don't have to wait for the Canary Islands to go snap. crackle, pop.

Anyone else having a rip-roarin' pissah of a day (week, month, year...)???

I wanna go to Harvard and beat up some smart kids.

How do you like them apples?

A while ago, we had waste backing up fm a drain for a fridge into our lab and some of it came fm Radiology

Did you send this plague upon me, Chutie???

The aroma of mercaptans and toluene can be so enjoyable!

If I did, it is only because I aimed at CG and missed.

Rotten eggs.....

Eggzactly!

because, as per usual, you brought a knife to the gunfight.

You may want to upgrade your notion of where to find smart people.

I was being very sarcastic. I work with Harvard gits - they are useless.

Unlike hopeless MIT gits.

So was I.

Don't dump agarose, acrylamide, and pipet tips in your sink. It's hard to stop other slobs from doing this though...

If I had a dollar for every time that has happened to me....

Are you doing PAGE???

hopeless, maladjusted, socially inept MIT gits.

Well - poop on you too.....

My, my -- life sciences and absinthe do seem to mix.

I think I know who I'll try to introduce to our favourite fairy next time around...after all, it's only fair, as they've given me a bottle of champagne.

So you answer back with a bottle of alcohol that is worth 10-20x as much.

That takes alot of class!

I do some PAGE gels and Westerns, but the guy at the next bench is a regular Western blot factory, he often does 20 at a time. I run more DNA gels than anything else.

I never said they could drink all the bottle. I'll already have consumed some of it before we get to celebrate.

And they really also do pay my salary, in a way.

And your factor of ten is inaccurate: I doubt I can get a bottle of champage that good for even $20. Absinthe has become cheaper with the slide of the dollar, but champagne has not...
