GARrrrrrr??? what's that?

the status update on my friend's facebook said something like,

"...is still wondering why he agreed to be up this early for the GAR..."


at the beginning of the day, I simply did not care what GAR was.



Then i took a nice nap on this lazy President's Day holiday, and started thinking...

GAR... i bet it's got something to do with today's holiday...

...i'm sure it's an acronym.

i bet it's a hawaiian native thing...



...then bam!


i figured it out.



it's the "Great Aloha Run."



...i'm starting to feel hawaiian...

i guess it was a long time ago...

-
this morning, a fellow grad student was running off some copies at the mailroom.

he's a little older than the other young grads, so he gets a lot of the older references in american culture.

so, while walking by, i said, "makin' copies!" in reference to the SNL skit with Rob Schneider.

he didn't get it; so i explained the skit to him.


i googled about the skit; some guy/gal considers it as one of the "classic" SNL skits, along with 'buh-bye' done by David Spade; which was also funny...
