I was eating at the Rainbow Garden on Neil the other day and I wanted to order a side of "Shallots And Rice Suey" so I said, "I'll have the SARS, preaze," and the waiter spat in my face, which at first I thought was a reaction to my pronunciation of "please" (which was really just a typo) but later realized was him misunderstanding my order to be a respiratory illness and bringing it to me as an appetizer right away. The rest of my meal was delicious but unfortunately I have once again contracted SARS so I will be missing practice until I feel better.

9. If you were D Mac and you were going to miss practice, give an example of what you would email the captains?

I find myself at a unique advantage here:
-------------------------------------------------------
some of the chinese students in the math department had some shotglasses full of
SARS mucus from their homeland and they dared me to take a shot and i knew it w
as a bad idea so i asked them if they would double dare me in the hopes that the
y were only willing to single dare me but they called my bluff and double dared
me so i had to take a shot because it's part of the math code of conduct to acce
pt double dares and now i have SARS again.

i can't believe this keeps happening to me especially since it means i won't be
at practice tonight and probably won't make it thursday either.

-------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately you will not have the privilege of playing with me this weekend. My family is coming up to Champaign this weekend, and since we've been drifting apart these past few years I think it's important I stay in town. My parents have been fighting more frequently recently and I need to be there to keep the peace so they don't start arguing in front of my little brother. This will also be the first time any of us has seen my older brother in several years, and it might be my last chance to convince him to go to rehab for his painkiller addiction. I would really like go with you guys up to Michigan this weekend, but if I do that and my family self destructs beyond repair I don't think I could ever forgive myself.

Just kidding, my family loves each other more than life itself.

-------------------------------------------------------

unfortunately i will probably not be able to attend practice this whole week. i
was mauled by a panda bear that gave me SARS.

-------------------------------------------------------

i will be respectfully blowing off practice today to grade some shit
-------------------------------------------------------

hey gentiles
believe it or not i'm a joo so i will be missing the second part of practice tod
ay to attend rosh hashonah services.
i will also be missing the first part of practice as usual.

------------------------------------------------------- =15


10. What does D Mac dream of when he sleeps?

Dan dreams of the day when I don’t yell at him for making spin move cuts. This is also the day that Illinois adopts Hawaiian shirts as uniforms and we discontinue stretching. =10

Andy Kilinskis: =70
