Random Convos and introducing The Best Non-Throwing Up Person Alive (who lost his first Heavyweight bout)

Hello world,

(Disclaimer: This post is not for people that are overly disturbed by liquid bowel movements, vomit, nausea or distasteful similes and metaphors describing such things).

With a title like that, how could you not read it?

I'm back with a brief tidbit about what's going on. Ok so, last Friday the strangest thing happened. I was finished teaching my winter classes for the day and it was only me, the Vice Principal, and this teacher that sits behind me two seats to the left. This teacher has not really said anything to me the entire school year. She merely nods and smiles in my presence. I took it as she was either freakishly polite, shy, or the Dojo Yoshi mystique has just become too intimidating. Well, as I'm about to leave my desk I look at here to say "Peace Sister" and then the unthinkable happens. She started breakdancing and making mango juice with a small, portable mango juice maker. Na, but she asked me a question. I believe she asked me what I did when I go home, a common question among my teachers. The forum had been set and she had her opportunity with nobody around to judge her English. And come to find out she speaks English pretty well. We spoke for about 2 hours and it was a very in-depth convo. I learned a lot about her and vice versa. I won't tell you what we discussed because the feds are always watching. I was very thankful and appreciative that she decided to speak to me. It was a great Christmas gift.

BTW, later that day my ticket to China got dropped from 316,000 won to 200,000 won (about $180). Don't hate the player, hate the game.

So on Saturday I went to visit this girl and we had a really great time. What happened there is for another post because it was the postgame where things really got interesting. So I take that pilgrimage back to hometown and once I'm home I get the itchin' for some nutrition. Therefore, I head upstairs and luckily Homestay Momdukes is eating a late dinner. I take the invitation and get the grub on. Unfortunately, throughout the meal I felt a slight discomfort in my stomach and I know its a little serious so I decide to make that trek to the bed. Hopefully, all will subside. Well, you know the Rocky movies, where he decides to not block the punches in order to tire his opponent (I understand taking punches to make your opponent tired but why just let him punch you without blocking...), whatever I had eaten that day with that girl was doing its best Apollo Creed impression (R.I.P.). I mean, a quiet storm was brewing. You see, there are a few things I am proud of and not throwing up is one of them. In my lifetime, I believe, I have only thrown up 3 times and its been several years since the last fiasco. I'm like a heavyweight in not throwing up. You could call me the Best Non-Throwing Up Person Alive. I'm pretty sure that 3 times is some sort of record. BTW, I didn't even throw up as a baby. I just spit on people like a G. Obviously I'm not counting my throw-ups as a baby, but at that time I really had no control over the action.

When I feel like my body wants to empty itself through the noggin hole I simply sit in my bed like Halie Joel Osmond when he sees dead people and just wait for those dead people to go do whatever it is they do when they aren't with Halie. Its uncomfortable but I don't do the whole throwing up thing. Well Saturday night, it was on like popcorn. I hit the hole about 3 times (and I'm not talking about football). I'm talking all meals from the previous 3 days. You ever heard of the "Thrilla in Manilla"? Well this was the "Diarrhea in Korea", the "Throw-up in Chung-buk", the "Diarrhea in Korea II", and the United States could not hold its own against the rice fields. Needless to say, it was a very uncomfortable night and Sunday was no better. Luckily, my homestay father is a doctor so he hooked me up with some pills and an IV drip which put me almost back at 100% (I still don't feel confident in letting that gas go in fear of a liquid surprise).

Ok, I'm officially labeling this post as a top 3 post of all-time. I'm sure all my readers over 24 will disagree but that's just them being human beings. Aight peeps. Holla.

"Nah, but she asked me a question." It was a good line among many. I think its up to the readers to decide the top 3 delegation. Nice work, though.

i would have to agree in the top 3 although id have to see what the other two choices were. throwing up isn't too bad. or maybe ive jus done it too many times?

and yyyeeesss!!! u get ur 10s across the board hunny...but not for the post game. rather the game itself.

hit up that immodium ad if u gonna have a liquid surprise. trust me...it works wonders.
