What do you all plan on doing to keep from going crazy during the admissions waiting game? Luckily, I'm getting married in just under 3 months, so I have that to keep my mind occupied. But, even with that, I'm still thinking about admissions all the time.

Anybody have a good book they recommend, to keep the mind off B-school for awhile?

Maybe I'll watch every movie in my movie collection until I get an answer. I haven't pulled out Gladiator in awhile, maybe its time.

go back to your regular life and do the hobbies that you've been doing all along. :) That should keep your mind off things.

Movies are a good idea. Given it's Halloween, I think I'll watch the Evil Dead trilogy or perhaps do a Friday the 13th marathon.

Exactly. The original Saw is the only decent movie in that series.

The second one was good.

The third one was not good at all. The ending sucked.

Since I no longer remember every single line from the Big Lebowski, I'm definitely going to need a refresher. I liked Lord of the Rings, especially the books, but that's one long ass day to finish the entire movie trilogy. You can almost read the books in that amount of time.

Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!

Walter, the chinaman who peed on my rug, I can't go give him a bill, so what the !@#!@3 are you talking about?

What the @#(!@ are you talking about? The chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

Walter, this isn't a guy who built the @#!#@ railroads here. This is a guy...

What the @@!# are you talking about?

Walter, he peed on my rug!

He peed on the Dude's rug.

Donny you're out of your element! Dude, the Chinaman is not the issue here!

Some favorites:

WHERE'S THE SMUCKING MONEY, SMITHEAD!

It's uh, it's down there somewhere. Lemme take another look.


Obviously you're not a golfer


DUDE: You're Bunny?

BUNNY: I'll suck your sock for a thousand dollars.

BRANDT: Ha-ha-ha-ha! Wonderful woman. Very free-spirited. We're all very fond of her.

BUNNY: Brandt can't watch though. Or he has to pay a hundred.

BRANDT: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! That's marvelous.

DUDE: I'm just gonna find a cash machine.

Man I love that movie!
