Build...Create...EXTERMINATE!
Date: Sat, March 26, 2005
Ok, I'm not a really big Dr. Who fan, but I have had a dream for a long time. I want to own a Dalek. The original idea was to build the Dalek, and then take Finals at college in it. Barge into the room with a pencil in the claw. Bluster around, try to get behind a desk, attempt to write with the pencil, complain loudly in that inimical ring modulated Dalek voice "MY PEN-CIL IS BRO-KEN! GIVE ME YOUR EX-TRA PEN-CIL OR BE EX-TER-MIN-ATED!!!". You know, the usual.
Too bad I have no plans to get my masters.
But I can dream...

Dave:
Makes you wonder, who would have been the best teacher to subject to the Dalek during a final? Hmmmmm -- Breck keeps coming to mind.
Travis:
If you build it, they will... EXTERMINATE ! ! !
So it was like an acid flash back watching EXTERMINATE scroll across my RSS window. I saw the word and about a gig-a-byte of wickedly funny memories came to rushing to the front portion of my brain. Plans conceived sitting at 'The Table' of storming the halls of Purvine Hall with a Dalek, killing (or maybe just maiming) professors that had wronged us during the term. Trust me I can still thing of a few in particular I wouldn’t mind chasing down with a Dalek today. If we had the ambition/means/whatever to implement half the plans we thought of during our glory days I think we might have all served some time in the big house by now.
Ahh, the good old days of college.

Oh, I bet Ralph would have been mystified by it, and Jim Long would have laughed his head off. Yarbourough might have been fun, I'm not sure what his reaction would have been. Oh, what about Etcheson, It would have been like "Inconceivable!" vs. "The Dalek"!
