Pre-Frosh Back Again

Well, there was the 19-pound tuna head in 1995.

As I recall, it was Palahicky at the table who was describing this "hammerhead shark." The way he was relating the story, and the way it seemed like the other players were sort of snickering, I think he was just kidding. Besides, how on earth do you get a hammerhead shark into Lynah Rink?!

But you can.

A lobster has one long thick part and two smaller oblong parts at one end of the long part symmetrically oriented about the long axis of the long part.  

You take it from there.

I'm Asian. I don't have a shlong that large.

My experience has been that they'll search your bag and maybe pat down the sides of your body, but they'll never go anywhere that might get them sued. Last year I snuck in a whole fish, and this year a smallish octopus, both times in my bra, with no problems at all.

[Tao Tan \'07]

You put an *octopus* in your *bra*? ::twitch::

*glad he's going to Cornell*:-D

[Becca]

My buddy the octopus was well-wrapped in plastic at the time...

[Tao Tan \'07]

Did you bring in two octopi by any chance? ::screwy::

Or was it one octopus and one fish?

I don't see how they could miss just one. Or did they not miss it, but were just afraid of making sure?

[Becca]

Heh heh, yeah, exactly... "Stop staring at my chest! I have a DISEASE!"  No, I wore a sports bra to create a shelf-like effect and then put the (smallish, remember) octopus in the middle of the shelf, as it were. If you wear a loose shirt it hardly shows. Foolproof plan, ladies.

[Tao Tan \'07]

LOL.. right...::rolleyes::

Hmm.. How high is the plexiglass partition at the Lynah? If there's any chance at all, I want my lobster to crawl out on that ice. If there's no chance the critter will live, then I'm not gonna take the risk of sticking a live lobster into my pants.

Solid move staying for the MEng.  The job market is pretty sad right now anyway.  

I stayed for an MEng also.  Besides the better job opportunities a year later, the most important benefits were being in the first group in line for season tix for two straight years and seeing an ECAC championship.

Is anyone else mildly turned on by this exchange?

Hehe, sorry Becca.

Even if he lives, he aint gonna try to move.  Consider yourself in the same relative circumstances.  Wouldn't you stay put and hope the Gods would get tired of taunting you and move on to impersonating bulls?

BTW, the glass is pretty high, so your choices are a drive from 5-6 rows up or a short iron chip from the bottom.  Either way, it's probably splat city.

[JordanCS]

Umm....maybe I'm insane, but I actaully remember seeing the hammerhead shark.  It was small, about 1.5 feet long, and I remember thinking "WTF?"

Now that I think about it, an enterprising student could probably float a live lobster down over the glass using a model rocket parachute.
