Also, they were giving away Monster energy drinks on campus. I took one, being free and all, took one sip and threw it in the trash can immediately. Am I the only one that thinks these drinks are nasty? I much rather eat an apple to get a bit of energy than sip on rotten vegetable juice.

I have known and befriended a few mentally handicapped people, and eventually I had to pick them up or help them up from a fall. It always seems they are heavier than they look. A 10 year old I used to know (he is not 10 anymore...) had Down Syndrome and was a very fun loving chap. He would jump on your back for piggy back rides. That is fine when you know he is coming. If you didn't though, he would put you on the floor. Just looking at him, guess around 70 lbs maybe 80. To pick him up you would think he weighed 120+ lbs. A retarded girl I knew was the same way. She looked around 120 lbs, but my friend and I had trouble helping her up from a fall. My friend was around 200 lbs and 6 feet tall at the time and he was straining. Are they more dense or what??? I hope I am not the only one to notice this....
I always felt bad saying retarded, I almost always say Mentally handicapped unless they tell me not to. One guy would insist we don't dance around it and call him a 'tard. Had the best sense of humor in the world, and sadly I believe he is brain dead now. Helluva guy, one of the best chess players I ever met, yet he could not name a piece or set it up the same way twice.
And I hate energy drinks. Taste worse than Mountain Dew!!! I know I know!! I thought that was impossible, but there you go. Blech, I'll take crab juice please.

Anyone remember the book where the 2 guys are brothers and they end up on a ranch and one guy is "special" and he dosen't know his own strength so his bro has to watch after him. At the ranch is like a guy who wears gloves with lube in them to keep them soft. I liked that book~
