Fatty McFatty

My professor (Dr. Burt) called me fat yesterday.

We were talking about false advertising and how food companies say their products are nutritional even if they aren't, so then I brought up the fact that HCG Drops are the same way.

They tell you to go on a 500 calorie diet and use the drops to lose weight.

But in reality, if anyone goes on a 500 calorie diet they will lose weight--with or without the drops.

Dr. Burt said, "well obviously they didn't fool you into using them."

Everyone died laughing and I'm pretty sure my face was as red as a tomato.

He was so embarrassed.  He apologized profusely and said he was meaning their marketing didn't work on me. ha ha. 

So of course everyone was peaking around my chair trying to see if I was really fat.

Good thing I'm not ;) 

Seriously though, Dr. Burt is amazing.

He has so many awards and recognitions; he has really made a name for himself.   

Check out his website

I'm really going to enjoy his class--maybe he'll teach me to be a marketing guru like him.

Until next time,

Not-So-Intelligent Blonde Moments...

Can I get a show called "Lana Says the Darndest Things?"  

It would for sure be a hit.

Last night, while telling a story about New York, I started my sentence off with

"When I went to the New York City Public Library in New York..."

Thank you, captain obvious...

I would also like to dedicate one of these awards to one of the Guards at Remington Park.

Apparently if you're underage you get an arm band--since I'm clearly older than 21 I didn't have one.

When we went through the casino part the Guard looked at Chantz (who did have an arm band) and let him through.  He then proceeded to card me.  

While looking at my ID he says "Oh, you just turned 21 a few weeks ago--Congrats!"

I gave him the most retarded look and he finally figured out that the year was not 2010 and I had actually been legal for over a year now.  

Here's your sign.

As if the red box on my ID that says "Under 21 until July 29, 2010" wasn't enough...

Also, why do they give an arm band to people who aren't of legal age?  

Wouldn't it make more sense to give a band to people who are over 21?

The underage people could just cut theirs off...

Until next time,

Awkward & Awesome Thursday, Edition 21

Awkward:

People who think they're good at being sarcastic but they're really not so I just give them blank glares. 

Typos on t-shirts.

I just saw one online from Old Navy that read

"Lets Go Team"

Whoever their proofreader is, obviously didn't learn about apostrophes. 

When I saw this shirt online, it linked me to another typo shirt from Wet Seal that read

"If Your Single, So Am I"

At least they knew where to put a comma--right?

When waiters assume you're a lesbian because you're out with another girl. 

They inevitably ask if it will be on the same ticket.

The high class people I saw at the Watermelon Festival last week.
I'm sure the people at the County Fair will be just as awkward though...

Sitting behind a couple at a restaurant who is on their first date.
Better yet, a couple who just met right before their first date.
However, the most awkward is sitting behind a couple who just met right before their fist date after having met on an Internet dating site!
You better believe I eavesdropped on their conversation!
I don't know that she was too impressed--he was shorter than her, dressed down, had a shiny bald head, and ordered a plate for them to share...

Awesome:

Being an official MBA Student--even if people keep telling me I'm wasting time and money...

Waking up early every morning to go work out--it really works wonder for your mood (and looks).
