That Movie Where He Played A Cop Again, But It Wasn't As Good

I don't know what's with the Harrison Ford movie references in the title. They just come so naturally. This one had Kristin Scott Davis in it. I never saw the movie.

Part I: About A Professor
Prof: Is that a question?

Prof: Yeah, but I'll wait until you're finished.

Prof: No, I'm so excited to have one that I'll take it now. Go ahead.

I love listening to his lectures. They're not spectacular. But he has a bumbling, Hugh Grant manner to him where he's really self-deprecating, apologetic, and always says half a sentence, switches approach, then tries to use a different example. Or his sentences start out as declarative, but then he adds lots and lots of qualifiers to them because nothing is ever certain, especially in sociology. It's hilarious.

Part II: Make A Wish
Tonight during small group, I was talking about these multi-lingual little kids I knew when Andy exclaimed that, "You know, when I was little, I always wished that I had diabetes. Haven't you ever envied those kids that got to go to the nurse and have their special shots?" No, Andy, never. See, Andy envied two kinds of children. The diabetic (though Sheena pointed out that being asthmatic would've been just as good), and kids with mothers that spoke a different language. Yeah, the sickly and the foreign, those were the cool kids.

Part III: The Untoothsome
A favorite topic at the Bo', a favorite event people always have cautionary tales about, a favorite draw for all the first years, is the annual foam party. It really is as nasty as it sounds. There's a giant bouncy-house without the bounce, filled with lukewarm foam, there's music, and lots and lots of sudsy people. We've all heard and told tales about the sketchy things left behind, the grossness, and this year, the new story of how incredibly wrong and uncomfortable it was that Doug was there with family. Tonight, a new development. Some of you might have heard of it, but it's news to me. One year, a tooth was found. A tooth, people. A human tooth in the remaining dregs of the foam. That is disturbing on so many levels that I can't really process it all right now.
