How I lost Extra Hot Great Listener Game Time: A Story in GIFs

September 11, 2015 in Just for Fun, Lists, TV by librarylea | No comments

 

It starts with excitement and optimism

Me when I found out I was going to be on Extra Hot Great.

The recording starts, and I realize I've forgotten how to talk or say anything clever at all.

But then I get a question right.

And then a THREE POINT question.

And a THREE-POINT question.

But then I blank and my mouth spews gibberish. (Ok, it was "Benson" which IS a word and a podcast joke, but still.)

Another wrong answer.

And another wrong.

Math tells me that my window of opportunity is waning.

So I go ALL IN. Throw caution to the wind!

I’m just going to guess shit.

It's done. I can't win.

It didn’t work.

Me, the second we were done recording.

But I go out with friends, and we get food.

And some drinks.

I stop thinking about what I should have said.

And remember I’m still fabulous.

And that I live amongst an embarrassment of taco riches.

And everything will be ok

Thanks, EHG!

Ten things you shouldn’t do:

July 28, 2010 in Just for Fun, Lists by librarylea | No comments

  1. Ask a Ph.D. student when his/her dissertation will be done*
  2. Tell someone they look tired, then suggest they get some sleep
  3. Ask a woman who has not directly told you that she is currently pregnant when she is due**
  4. Make enemies with the IT Department
  5. Make a pretty woman your wife
  6. Ask any student what his/her plans are after graduation
  7. Start any sentence with “Well, in today’s economy”
  8. Park over the line that clearly marks where one space ends and another begins
  9. Mess around with Slim
  10. Take libraries and librarians for granted

*It is also inadvisable to ask a Master’s student when he/she will graduate.  Basically, you shouldn’t ask graduate students any questions at all, except: 1) would you like free beer? 2) can I return those to the library for you? or 3) tell me about your work – but ONLY do this last one if they are CLEARLY FISHING for you to ask them about their work – otherwise you may face wrath, tears, or a complete nervous breakdown.

**It is also unacceptable to say “maybe you’re pregnant” to any female exhibiting flu-like symptoms.  Sometimes the flu is just the flu.

**BONUS – Don’t be this guy**
