Anyhoo, I figured since I replied to a post after an insanely long time not bothering to check the boards I might as well do a sort of “I’m back, WORSHIP ME” type post going on. For the maybe 2 people who’d care _shrugs_.

Anyhoo.

whoooooo!

Welcome back. What’s going on in the lab these days?

[sub] PS - Weren’t you the guy who wanted to make the army of monkeys with glowing genitals? :p[/sub]

\<— gets warm fuzzy feeling.

Actually I left San Antonio. I moved to Shreveport, LA and I’m now working in a Herpes lab – we work on Equine Herpes Virus (a RESPRATORY virus you freaks!) in a mouse model.

:eek: I’ve harvested more mouse organs the last few weeks than I ever imagined!

My boss and coworkers are great! We have a BLAST in the lab.

As for the lab, I’m in a department that just recieved a 8.9 million dollar (after facility fees and what not) 5 year grant… ontop of being a generally excellently funded department.

Shreveport is fun, drive through liquor stores, casinos, and a pay raise 🙂

Also, I’m HIGHLY confident I’ll be entering the graduate program here, which is INCREDABLY exciting. It’s a well funded department with some huge names in virology…

And it’s nice being out of San Antonio… It was getting really depressing with me seeing things that kept reminding me of … umm stuff. ☹

I wonder if I should be worried that you’re only about 70 miles from me. Reading your lab stories before was entertaining. Knowing what goes on that close to home is scary.

Well if it makes you feel better, I’m wokring with a TOTALLY NON INFECTUOUS virus now. However I do work with radioisotopes now 😛

So at least you’ve got a head start on that whole glowing monkey genitals thing, then. It’s nice when someone gets ahead in their work like that.

Seriously, welcome back. I too miss the tales of hijinks in the lab, scary though they were. But I’m with **Homebrew** , I think. The stories were much funnier when you were farther away. 😃

Where do I sign up to get a monkey with glow-in-the-dark genitals?

Well, wherever you were and whatever you’re doing, it’s always nice to have the mad scientists on board around here.

And I wouldn’t care if you were my next door neighbor, I want my glowing monkey balls!

Wait a minute. You left that other lab, with the really scary shit, in someone else’s hands? Do not tell me it is being operated by one of your less competent coworkers? :eek:

The whole lab (boss + his wife + grad student) went to Houston… So I’m guessing they’re much safer there. Provided they don’t hire crazy people to do the hot work.

Probably is. Blood (one of my favourite games, although I can’t play it since I changed my computer a few years ago) did use references from _Evil Dead_ (probably the third) and _Se7en_.

I prefer not to imagine mouse organs at ALL, thank you very much. :eek: I hate looking at male rodents walk, even though I’m female I cringe when I see them dragging their balls across whatever surface they’re going over.

But it’s good to see you back. Radioisotopic mousie nuts and all.

Shreveport is surprisingly far from New Orleans. I’m too tired to look up mileages, but I was surprised how far it is (my brother went to school up that way for a year) because Louisiana doesn’t seem that big. I guess with it being next to huge-ass Texas on the map it looks smaller. It doesn’t help, either, that I did most of my growing up smack in the middle of Texas and still think it’s seriously cool to cross a state line. Ooh, look, we’re in Mississippi!!!

San Antonio is about eight to nine hours from New Orleans. I know, because I was there a week ago. Great trip, loooooong drive.

One of these years, somebody more organized and capable than I should organize a Louisiana Dopefest. Hell, we’ve got New Oreleans, where BETTER for a Dopefest?
