Legendary Undergraduate Application

Legendary Undergraduate Application

This is said to be an actual essay written by a college applicant,
now attending NYU.

3A. ESSAY: IN ORDER FOR THE ADMISSIONS STAFF OF OUR COLLEGE TO GET
TO KNOW YOU, THE APPLICANT, BETTER, WE ASK THAT YOU ANSWER THE FOLLOWING
QUESTION:

ARE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCES YOU HAVE HAD OR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
YOU HAVE REALIZED THAT HAVE HELPED TO DEFINE YOU AS A PERSON?

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I
have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them
more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs
for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time
efficiently. Occasionally I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing. I can pilot
bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook
Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco,
a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly
defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army
ants.I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject
of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension
bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays,
after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie.
Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I
don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. Last
summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration.
I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international
botany circles.

Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly
accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in
one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening.
I
know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have
performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I
do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully
negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The
laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid.
On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami.
Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I
have made extraordinary four-course meals using only a mouli and a toaster
oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan,
cliff-diving championships in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the
Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and
I have spoken with Elvis.

But I have not yet gone to college.

We do not have an ETA from AT&T, however we are working closely with the AT&T technicians while they continue to troubleshoot this issue. We appreciate your patience and will keep you informed.

Work-Virus WARNING!!!!
« Reply #228 on: March 09, 2008, 03:29:58 PM »
You have been warned!!
 
The Center for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically.
 
This virus is called Weary Overload Recreational Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.
 
If you should come into contact with WORK, you should immediately leave the premises. Take two good friends to the nearest grocery store and purchase one or both of the antidotes: Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER).
 
Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.
 
You should immediately forward this medical alert to friends. If you do not have friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

GOTTA LOVE LITTLE BOYS

Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of
tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.

The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?"
"Eight," the boy replied.

The man continued, "Do you know what these are used for?"

The boy replied, "Not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for him.
He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these you
would  be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do either one."

Smart Ass Answers

 

SMART ASS ANSWER -- The cop got out of his car and the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. "I've been waiting for you all day," the cop said.
The kid replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could." When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.

SMART ASS ANSWER -- A truck driver was driving along on the freeway. A sign comes up that reads, " Low Bridge Ahead."Before he knows it, the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles. Finally, a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, "Got stuck, huh?"  The truck driver says, "No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas."

 

SMART ASS ANSWER -- It was mealtime during a flight on Hooters Airline. "Would you like dinner?" the flight attendant asked John, seated in front. "What are my choices?" John asked.. "Yes or no,"she replied.

SMART ASS ANSWER -- A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tickets. As a man approached, she extended  her hand for the ticket and he opened his trench coat and flashed her. Without missing a beat, she said, "Sir, I need to see your ticket, not your stub."

SMART ASS ANSWER -- A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store but she couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am,they're dead."



SMART ASS ANSWER OF THE YEAR 2006-A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. "Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!"  A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raised his hand and asked,"What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?"The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence is restored, the teacher smiles knowingly at the student, shakes her head and sweetly says, "Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand."

Two bonus extras: A blonde goes to the post office to buy stamps for her Christmas cards. She says to the clerk, "May I have 50 Christmas stamps?" The clerk says, what denomination?" The blonde says, "God help us. Has it come to this? Give me 6 Catholic, 12 Presbyterian, 10 Lutheran and 22 Baptists.

A woman is standing nude looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment."The husband replies, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect.  He never heard the shot....

WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM
« Reply #231 on: March 09, 2008, 05:52:18 PM »
WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM

 A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program.

The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in
nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.

She introduces herself as a representative of the  weight loss company. The sign reads, 'If you can catch me, you can have me.' Without a second thought, he takes off after  her. A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up.

The same girl shows up for the next four days and  the same thing happens. On the fifth day, he weighs  himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs.  as promised.

He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program. The next day there's a k nock at the door
and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing
nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, 'If you catch me you can have
 me'.

Well, he's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but
no such luck. So for the next four days, the same  routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.

Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs  himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20  lbs. as promised. He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program

'Are you sure?' asks the representative on the phone. 'This is our most rigorous program.'

 'Absolutely,' he replies, 'I haven't felt this good  in years.'

The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing  there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, 'If I catch you, your ass is mine.'

One Doctor's philosophy
« Reply #232 on: March 10, 2008, 04:00:12 PM »
Love this Doctor!!!   

Q:   I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?

A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it . . . Don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster.  Want to live longer? Take a nap.


Q:  Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

A:   You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat?   Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of deliveri ng vegetables to your system. Need grain?  Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q:  Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

A:   No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit.  Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way.  Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!


Q:   How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?

A:  Well, if you have a body and you have fat   your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.


Q:   What are some of the advantagesof participating in a regular exercise program?

A:  Can't think of a single one, sorry.  My philosophy is:   No Pain...Good!


Q:   Aren't fried foods bad for you?

A:  YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! . . . .   Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil.  In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?! 


Q:   Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?

A:  Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.


Q:   Is chocolate bad for me?

A:  Are you crazy? HELLO   Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!


Q:  Is swimming good for your figure?

A:   If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.



Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

AND . . . . .

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health.  It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutrit ional st udies.

1. The Japanese eat ve ry little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION:

Eat and drink what you like.  Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Are you Crazy? SCT (Standardized Crazy Test)
« Reply #233 on: March 12, 2008, 11:04:26 PM »

1. If two people come up to you and ask you for the time, you:

A. Eat them
B. Eat their dog
C. Give them the time
D. Invoke Satan to eat them
E. Repetitively scream Gaelic curses


If you chose A, B, D or E you are Crazy!

If c. then you most likely own a watch.


2. Upon being asked are you crazy you respond:


A. No, I am not crazy
B. Yes, yes I am crazy
C. Roll your eyes and make a sound of emphatic disgust
D. What is Crazy? Craziness is defined as deviation from normality, an aberration so therefore crazy could be having a successful career where your *Ignore me, I am a weenie* boss isn't up your ass all damn day to come home to a f&#^$*@ family that will not mock and scorn at your solemnity and appreciate you as a person. Or a computer that will not break down every five minutes or a car or a McDonald's employee that will get the damn order correct. That is crazy! Is that crazy? Then you tear your hair on head out by the root and seek to destroy the world, as we know it.
E. By continuing to knit sweaters for your pet cockroach


If you answered B. then you are crazy

B. Half a body with teeth marks unassailably galvanizingly similar to your own
C. Flaming skulls clog dancing
D. A goose
E. Half a goose with some of your teeth still attached to it. See answer b.


Only test at home kids.

This test was fabricated by a monkey with an inconveniently oversized brain.
It must not be taken seriously. Even though if you are reading this you probably are somewhat clinically psychotic and you best get cat nip for your cat or it may not talk to you anymore. Satan compels you.

P.S. Don't smoke crack...with a spoon


5. Konishika ash a nono la faka la ba ma nashetala ka?


A. What?
B. Yes I would like some cookies.

A. Mountain dew
B. A truck of bird poo
C. Poo on you
D. Slimy squid tentacles wrapped in a thick gooey layer of mucus.

Eeeeeeoooow yuck verizon wireless.

A. To the future
B. To the past
C. When verizon wireless collapses
D. When verizon wireless collapses onto mountain dew
E. A few minutes ago when I was not reading this.


If you chose "E" you are quite smart. If "D" then you are brilliant. If "C" then you must be hoping mountain dew collapses onto verizon wireless, I understand. Any other answer is unacceptable! UNACCEPTABLE!!

You should stop reading this now. I will keep writing but it would be to your best interest for you to stop. Immediately. Before any more detrimental blows are dealt to your brain.


Decided to stay, you are crazy!



9. Do you have any bad habits, do you...



A. Bite your nails
B. Bite your feet
C. Bite other peoples' feet
D. Fortuitously invoke Satan to join you in delightful feet biting excavations.
E. Smoke crack with a spoon


There is a simple and easy solution to end all these officious pesky annoying little things that you do. You just stop doing them (put the Twinkie down get the feet out of the mouth) get up and go to the couch for some TV and junk food, you lazy bastard.

Or if you are too lazy even to not do something (you lazy bastard) then there is another alternative for lazy bastards just like you.

You have what is generally known as L.A.B.S. syndrome (lazy ass bastard syndrome) found through years of observation and experimentation. By "generally known", I mean known to me, and by "concocted through experiment and observation", I mean just now made in my head.

You could....



A. Stop doing them
B. Keep doing them so much that you stop
C. Put a small firearm to the side of your head and....
D. Get a donkey a saddle and ride around in circles for thirty minutes.
E. Repeat step d. when necessary as many times as necessary.


Time to add up your score.


10. How many times where you confused?

A. Never
B. Once
C.Twice
D. What?
E. Where are my cookies?


Do you still like Verizon wireless?

What about mountain dew? Crazy lazy bastard!

Add the times you got angry to the amps of volume of your stereo and the brightness of your television divide by the color of your skin and do a little dance.

You have been officially admitted to the board of the crazies.

You may keep dancing if you like.

I said KEEP DANCING!

A small robot has been designed for you and should fit snuggly inside the left side of your brain. Another should be collecting all the spoons from your house and replacing them with mind control cookies. Or just normal cookies.

Enjoy the cookies. He..He..He...!!!

General Ways to Annoy People-ONLY FOR EXPERTS!!!!!!
« Reply #235 on: March 14, 2008, 11:42:12 PM »
General Ways to Annoy People



Accuse people of "glue sniffing addictions" in public.
Add blank entries to a list, to make it look like it's longer.
Adjust the tint on your TV so that all the people are green, and insist to others that you "like it that way".
After visiting the local donut shop, sit on the floor cross-legged and insist in a childish voice that you haven't received enough chocolate sprinkles.
Announce when you're going to the bathroom.
Answer every question with another question. As soon as one of you says a statement instead of a question, shout "I win!".
Any time a member of the opposite sex tries to talk to you, hold your hand up to prevent them from saying anything and say, "Look, I know what you're going to ask me... For the last time, no, I will NOT go out with you."
Arrive at a meeting late, say you're sorry, but you didn't have time for lunch, and you're going to be nibbling during the meeting. Then eat raw potatoes.
As much as possible, skip rather than walk.
As people talk, smell their shoulders.
Ask 1-800 operators for dates.
Ask people to prove everything they say. (e.g. "I'm Bob, nice to meet you..." "PROVE IT!")
Ask people what gender they are.
Ask the waitress for an extra seat for your "imaginary friend."
Ask to "interface" with someone.
Ask your co-workers mysterious questions and then scribble their answers in a notebook. Mutter something about "psychological profiles."
At a golf tournament, chant "swing-batabatabata-suhWING-batter!"
At a restaurant, repeatedly send your food back for changes and after awhile insist that, "This isn't what I ordered!"
At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
At random times in a conversation, say "Hi," "Hello Sir, how are you?" or "Have a good day, thank you."
At the laundromat, use one dryer for each of your socks.
Bark like a dog whenever anyone says the word "the."
Be "in conference" all the time.
Before exiting the elevator, push all the buttons.
Begin all your sentences with "Ohh la la!"
Block the entrances of elevators, buses, and subways.
Bring 15 things into the dressing room.
Bring a portable CD player to a concert and listen the CD because you insist that it is "Just better quality"
Buy goldfish and ask the clerk if they come with chips.
Buy it, wear it, return it.
Buy large quantities of mint dental floss just to lick the flavor off.
Call every girl you know "dude".
Call every pager number you know and leave the number for your local McDonalds.
Call everyone a communist.
Call into work and tell them you have something better to do today.

Proof by obviousness
"The proof is so clear that it need not be mentioned."

Proof by general agreement
"All in favor?..."

Proof by imagination
"Well, we'll pretend it's true..."

Proof by convenience
"It would be very nice if it were true, so..."

Proof by necessity
"It had better be true, or the entire structure of mathematics would crumble to the ground."

Proof by plausibility
"It sounds good, so it must be true."

Proof by intimidation
"Don't be stupid; of course it's true."

Proof by lack of sufficient time
"Because of the time constraint, I'll leave the proof to you."

Proof by postponement
"The proof for this is long and arduous, so it is given in the appendix."

Proof by accident
"Hey, what have we here?!"

Proof by insignificance
"Who really cares, anyway?"

Proof by profanity
**** **** **** **** QEf***ingD

Proof by definition
"We define it to be true."

Proof by tautology
'It's true because it's true."

Proof by plagiarism
"As we see on page 289..."

Proof by lost reference
"I know I saw it somewhere..."

Proof by calculus
"This proof requires calculus, so we'll skip it."

Proof by terror
When intimidation fails ...

Proof by lack of interest
"Does anyone really want to see this?"

Proof by illegibility
(scribble, scribble) QED

Proof by logic
"If it is on the problem sheet, then it must be true!"

Proof by majority rule
Only to be used if general agreement is impossible.

Proof by clever variable choice
"Let A be the number such that this proof works..."

Proof by tessellation
"This proof is the same as the last."

Proof by divine word
"And the Lord said, 'Let it be true,' and it was true."

Proof by stubbornness
"I don't care what you say-it is true!"

Proof by simplification
"This proof reduces to the statement 1 + 1 = 2."

Proof by hasty generalization
"Well, it works for 17, so it works for all reals."

Proof by deception
"Now everyone turn their backs..."

Proof by supplication
"Oh please, let it be true."

Proof by poor analogy
"Well, it's just like..."

Proof by avoidance
Limit of proof by postponement as it approaches infinity.

Proof by design
If it's not true in today's math, invent a new system in which it is.

Proof by authority
"Well, Don Knuth says it's true, so it must be!"

Proof by intuition
"I just have this gut feeling..."

Entitled to Claim That This Product Is TenDimensional. However, the Consumer Is
Reminded That This Confers No Legal Rights Above and Beyond Those Applicable to
Three-Dimensional Objects, Since the Seven New Dimensions Are "Rolled Up" into
Such a Small "Area" That They Cannot Be Detected.

PLEASE NOTE: Some Quantum Physics Theories Suggest That When the Consumer Is
Not Directly Observing This Product, It May Cease to Exist or Will Exist Only
in a Vague and Undetermined State.

COMPONENT EQUIVALENCY NOTICE: The Subatomic Particles (Electrons, Protons,
etc.) Comprising This Product Are Exactly the Same in Every Measurable Respect
as Those Used in the Products of Other Manufacturers, and No Claim to the
Contrary May Legitimately Be Expressed or Implied.

HEALTH WARNING: Care Should Be Taken When Lifting This Product, Since Its
Mass, and Thus Its Weight, Is Dependent on Its Velocity Relative to the User.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PURCHASERS: The Entire Physical Universe, Including This
Product, May One Day Collapse Back into an Infinitesimally Small Space. Should
Another Universe Subsequently Re-emerge, the Existence of This Product in That
Universe Cannot Be Guaranteed.
