The Scroll is the student newspaper of Brigham Young University’s Idaho campus.
Brigham & Women’s Hospital is one of the world-renowned Boston institutions affiliated with Harvard University Medical School. But their food’s just as institutional as any other hospital’s.
I’m not surprised there is a Brigham Women’s Hospital. Good ole Brigham Young sure like women. Lots of them. At once. I’m not surprised people got hurt. 
Brigham and Women’s Hospital was not named after Brigham Young.
And then in Boston there’s also Massachusetts General Hospital. As well as St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, which was the inspiration for St. Elsewhere.
Fenway Pak is in Bawstin too. I hope to see it one day!
That guy’s name sounds like the punch line to a joke. “How did those two guys get their bodies so twisted?” “Well, Brigham bent Peter, and then Peter bent Brigham…”

(I can’t believe this is still on my clipboard from 3 AM…)
I had a very good time last night with everyone…
you do NOT want to eat wasabi till you’re almost dead 
Sean still doesn’t know when Norman’s birthday is…
(despite having grown up with the guy… go figure)
Eric kept denying he had “automatic door lock” in his car…
well, he was using it on me as part of a joke accusation…
and that was only part of the hijinks that went on…
I’m looking forward to Awana later on…
I think it should be slightly less chaotic than last week…
maybe this time I’ll actually have a list to work with
afterwards, a bunch of us are going to have hot pot…
we’re going to celebrate Citrus’ birthday in style…
no, I’m not talking about stolen illicit drugs here…
basically, you dunk raw meat and stuff in boiling water…
lettuce, special mushrooms, liver, beef, pork, chicken…
vermicelli, tofu, udon, fishballs, and other sorts of food…
you have to drink the broth afterwards…
it retains all the flavors, and is very good stuff…
writing this post is making me way too hungry…
(I haven’t had it in probably more than a year, so I’m up for it)
it’s certainly going to be some yummilicious stuff
yes, I thrive while in the company of my friends… wooyeah!
So are my brother and sister. I remmeber the time last summer that about thirty of us went to our friends’ house. Sarah and Hannah had two kittens… they’re now big cats. Someone decided to show my sister one of the kittens… my sister’s reaction was: “EEEEEEEWWWWWW!!! Get that thing away from me!”
No, she’s not an ailurophobe… or maybe she is. Wouldn’t blame her if she’s allergic to them. As for me, I like cats just fine… as long as they don’t try to claw you or anything!
Speaking of being allergic to things, my sister knew this girl named Harmony in early grade school. She (and her mother Jerri) were allergic to SO many things, it wasn’t even funny. Chocolate, milk, peanut butter, fish, etc.
Now I know a kid named Justin who’s allergic to nuts, milk, tofu, fish, apples, and one oher thing which I forget now. My Awana friends and I were wondering last week what he can eat… obviously not much!
My brother’s not into salad dressing, so guess what he substitutes instead? Coke or other soft drinks.
“Gobsmacked” is English slang for “shocked” / “surprised.” It’s my favorite Brit slang word, after “dodgy.” (something being not quite right)

you know what i think is the best idea ever? rhyming slang. it’s just the coolest.
i remember watching this british movie and it had this dude who had such a thick accent he was unintelligible. i could have used subtitles.
Sounds like a Cockney – take away their rhyming slang and they’d be speechless.
I’m also allergic to coconut. (and anxiously awaiting what Flami comes up with to do with coconut.)
Well, you see, you take these two coconut halves, and tie some string on them, and then you use them for a bra when you put on your hula skirt.
My dad’s Aunt Helen always pronounced that word as “coker-nut”. She also watched “poe-grams” on “the television”. What linguistic quirks have your relatives employed?
Sternvogel’s aunt’s linguistic quirks
Made him ask of us: What nonsense lurks
In what’s said every day
By your kin? Can he say
He says nothing that’s cause for some smirks?
All in good fun, my fellow limerickaholic!
Sit next to a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. Sit on a red-hot stove for a minute, it seems like an hour. That’s relativity.
For some reason, I almost always confuse coconuts and chestnuts. I always have to remember that chestnuts are good, and coconut isn’t. (in my opinion)
I don’t like coconut much at all. (but I like chestnuts just fine, lespecially water chestnuts) There was the time I bought a Bounty bar, not realizing that it had a LOT of coconut in it. Needless to say, I didn’t like that experience much.
I’ve never tried coconut bubble tea, for precisely that reason. Then again, I’ve never tried gelato with coconut in it. There are some Chinese bakery desserts with coconut shavings on them, and I can take only a very little bit of those before I have to move on to something else.

My mom’s always been a source of amusement when it comes to linguistic quirks. I suppose I shouldn’t laugh at her even in fun because English isn’t her first language, but I can’t help it if it’s so funny. 
Let’s see… she has many linguistic quirks, and the following are among them:
- Pronouncing “anus” as “ah-nus.” (despite many corrections)
- Pronouncing “corpse” as something approximating “craps.” (she’s gotten a teeny bit better on this one, but not by much)
- Referring to guavas as foie gras. (fragrant exotic fruits are not the same as duck liver!)
- Referring to “fluorescent pink” as “forensic pink.” I think she’s been talking to my sister about her forensics program too much, if you ask me.
- Pronouncing “shelf” as “shell.”
- Pronouncing “wet” as “red.” (don’t ask me WHY…)
This is all I can think of right now… I’m sure there’s more.
