BSing is my speciality. How else would I be able to write a 3-5 page paper on commas?

LOL!! You wrote a paper on commas? I love you!! Was that by choice or a requirement?
Have you ever read or heard of the book "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynne Truss? It's all about punctuation. She's basically my hero, cause I get so sick of people using commas and other punctuation marks wrong or just ignoring them all together. It's a huge pet peeve of mine LOL. I actually asked for that book for Christmas last year and got it. Haven't read all of it yet, but I enjoyed it LOL.

The title rings a bell. For our last paper in my english class we had to write on what we learned. The only thing I remember is a handout on commas. The only reason I remember that is because it was called 'The Comma Sutra'. My paper was called 'The Ten Comma-ndments".

BS??? Oh man, I've taken the courses, BS101: Basic BS course, enough to survive most college classes, BS102: Intermediate BS, how to turn the one page you could write into the 20+ page report you need to turn in, and BS201: Advanced BS, usually a Graduate course lol perfect for on the spot verbal BS, how to improvise

I'm a master of the BS 102 material, how to completely BS your way through a paper and still get an A.

oh heck yeah. I wrote a research paper for my english class the night before it was due. I did all the research as I was writing it. Plus I had the flue or something. I still got an A. I'm still not quite sure how I pulled that off. Now I have a persuasive speech in my public speaking class to BS. Wish me luck.

LOL I did that for a psych paper my freshman year... researched as I wrote it, right before it was due. I'd had all freaking semester to do it too. It was a crappy paper, but my prof was an easy grader, and I got like a 98 or 99% on it LOL.
Good luck BSing your persuasive speech! Speaking of BSing those, we had to do persuasive speeches for our final in speech class my freshman year, and this one kid in my class, who was this total spaz to begin with, got up and just RAMBLED about NOTHING to us for 5 minutes or however long it had to be. His "persuasive" topic was that he was trying to persuade us that he wasn't persuasive... or something like that. It was so obvious that he hadn't prepared ANYTHING for this speech. It wasn't even a good BS job cause it was so ridiculously BAD, but it was funny! We were all in total disbelief that anyone could come in so completely unprepared and bomb a speech that bad. Another guy did his speech on how George W. Bush is really a monkey... LOL... but his speech was actually set up like a good speech, with support and everything, so I bet he got a pretty good grade, even though his topic was like "WTF?" cause our professor was cool. That one was funny too.

I once wrote two 5 page papers on nutrition in the same night. Long story, but a friend and I were supposed to work on them after I got out of work at midnight but he fell asleep. I felt so bad that I wrote his too. The project was that we kept track of everything we ate for a month, plugged it into a program and it did a report as to what didn't have enough of etc.
The funny thing is that we ate school food all the time so our reports from the computer program were similar and I had to attempt to write it in completely different ways.
The killer....he got a higher grade then I did.

I'm watching Sabrina The Teenage Witch (don't ask) and Howie made a cameo. He's a egotistical rock start, Strum. He's really mean, lol.
He's wearing his Bohemien shirt from the Jesus days and Sabrina bewitched his head to grow. Gosh, this is hilarious.

Yet, again here is another random observation by myself.
I adore how it seems that Nick is always the melodramatic one when it comes to singing. He makes BSB so much more fun to sing to. Like in Incomplete, I love the way he turns the word "Incomplete" into Innnn Commm Pleteeee.
