Now THAT was a great faculty meeting!
Yesterday afternoon, we had a faculty meeting down on the second floor. As you might imagine, these can at times get a little boring, but that was not the case yesterday!
First we sang the school song. We usually belt it out a couple times at the start of each meeting.
After that, we continued the old tradition of making the new faculty fight one another up on the conference room desk while we poke them with sharpened poles. In the first round, Prof. Underwood took out Prof. Fusilier (TKO—broken leg) and Prof. Simpson defeated Prof Wren (though the illegal use of a chair was involved). In the finals, Underwood pulled out some of Prof. Simpson’s hair, but in the end Simpson threw Underwood through the plate glass window into the hall for the victory.
After that, we went down to the river and slaughtered a calf.

He is, after all, a cyborg killing machine created by the East German government. Holding him off for nearly 20 minutes was great, and that business with using Rory Ryan as a "human shield" was truly inspired. Also, we appreciated your stick-to-itiveness in hanging around to roast the calf even though you had a compound fracture in your femur.
I think its great that your blog reaches out to students to show them that the faculty are real people, and are not the eccentric, crazy, and mythical figures that students sometimes conjure up :-)

If anything, Prof. Osler's blog confirms the notion that profs are eccentric and crazy. :)

Oh yeah, the reality is certainly apparent.
I can just imagine Prof. Property trying to right on the board with a crutch under each arm.
