When I was in 8th or 9th grade, I wrote an epic poem about World War II as part of a school assignment. It probably wasn't any good, but I remember being pretty proud of it. That's about as creative as schoolwork got back in the day.
Now, with the advent of technology and access to digital tools, my kids are doing all kids of cool multimedia projects as part of their educational process. Case in point, my 16 year-old's hip hop debut, courtesy of her Research Biology teacher:
Yung Adrenal drops rhymes to teach us about glands and their function. She's no Yeezy, but I think her flow's pretty decent. I've got her working on a mixtape about thyroid function.

Best post ever. Leesburg represent! With one song Yung Adrenal established herself as the greatest original musical feature in GTB history, easily knocking Greasetruck out the box.
ReplyDeleteWow. Off the top ropes, Z.
ReplyDeletejust put a deposit down on a tattoo. so i guess this is happening.
ReplyDeleteCmon Whit. GTB is for the children.
ReplyDeleteI can’t wait to get back stage passes when Rob’s kid is a hip hop star.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Rob. You won’t regret it. Tattoos are awesome. I’m actively encouraging my wife to get more.
ReplyDeletewhile yung adrenal is certainly talented, her cerebral thematic material is limiting her audience. she should rap about things people can relate to, like nail beds and sebaceous cysts. do or die tonight at 5 pm for my u-13 travel soccer team . . . play-off game #1.
ReplyDeletei think a yung adrenal/greasetruck collaboration would go platinum. or at least tin.
ReplyDeleteRob, what are you getting? And where?
ReplyDeleteTribal squiggle on the lower back?
ReplyDeletesomeday i’ll write a blogpost and tell you, whit
ReplyDeleteHe is getting a tequila worm on this lower leg.
ReplyDeleteThat’s been done to death, Timmy
ReplyDeleteHoping for Seuss. I’m definitely intrigued.
ReplyDeleteHightower has gone his whole life in vain looking for his “essence” to put on his body.
Dave put The Cult on his leg.
There’s a range there.
Nobody wants to read a post about a guy in his 40’s who got a tattoo...
ReplyDeleteand yet: https://gheorghe77.blogspot.com/2016/12/the-twelve-days-of-gheorgemas-day-four.html
ReplyDeleteYes Rob - twas a joke at myself. Good luck with your ink. Can’t wait to see what tribal armband you picked.
ReplyDeletedammit. i used to get jokes.
ReplyDeleteSo Marls sent me the post from all of 2 months ago when Rob showed us what he's getting inked into his body. Sorry, I'm getting old and I forget things.
ReplyDeleteslow to the party as usual. two times dope is the adrenal gland throw down! what's next, the duodenum? epiglottis? how about the anterior cruciate?
ReplyDeleteguys, i don’t think bob deniro is a big trump fan
ReplyDeletehow do you guys feel about renaming this spot gheorghe: the burger?
ReplyDeleteSo I'm buying some frozen peas tonight to help recovery from a procedure tomorrow morning. Any advice from those who've gone down the road prior?
ReplyDeleteYou have to wear briefs for 7-10 days. Do not try to move to boxers too quickly. Your boys will need a home. And DO NOT test out the equipment earlier than the doctor told you to. I know a guy who did and everything got black-and-blue and swollen.
ReplyDeleteJesus, that sounds horrible. Noted!
ReplyDeleteIf not going under anesthesia, you might consider stuffing your nose with Kleenex so as not to get a sniff of your burning flesh, or more specifically, your scrotum.
ReplyDelete>insert evil Dracula-like laugh here<
Also - trim up. Your nurse will appreciate it.
Lastly, in a day or two you may feel as good as new. You aren't. No lifting or other strenuous exercise. I started carrying my little girl around b/c I felt okay. Balls turned purple, Deep Purple.
My doc did not tell me to trim up and was disappointed by what he was faced with once I disrobed (much like a few women I know). He proceeded to take care of business himself, using a disposable plastic single-blade razor, holding with his left hand and swiping with his right, in much the same haphazard reckless way one peels a potato.
ReplyDeleteSo take Danimal's advice and trim up, or have someone who cares trim you up.
Also, if you are going under anesthesia, will receive more than one incision, and/or will require stitches, find another doctor, ideally one with training from the 21st century.
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on G:TB after a week or so. Whit is finally getting the operation! I second Zman's advice. It's really a pretty easy procedure.
ReplyDeleteRob, be prepared that the men's room at the Indigo Girls concert will probably end up overrun by ladies. The urinal lines should be short though. We can reprise our harmonies at OBFT.
Also, Yung Adrenal is aight!
Local anesthesia. No stitches, or if there are some, they dissolve. Modern doc, in and out in short order, so he says. Can I wear earphones?
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the tips. Rest will be a must.
I suppose you could, but I enjoyed the irony of chatting with my doc while a muzak version of the eagles' 'best of my love' scored the proceedings.
ReplyDeleteoooh, can you request songs? quick, whitney. make a playlist. start with ‘cuts like a knife’.
