I defend my dissertation starting in approximately 1 hour. As part of my final preparations I am eating a Banana. High in potassium, bananas should help prevent muscle spasm during what is sure to be a tense discussion about how awesome my dissertation is. Here is what I anticipate will happen:
Committee member # 1: The Bird Man, I think this dissertation is really awesome because...
Committee member # 2: (interrupting) No no no, I take exception to that...this dissertation is totally awesome...
Committee member # 3: (interrupting) You're both wrong this dissertation is only just pretty awesome...
My Advisor: Settle down everyone, lets just stick with regular awesome. The awesomeness of this dissertation requires no modifiers, it is just plain and simply awesome.
Me: (meekly)Ahhm...(clears throat) could you guys just sign this so we can all go get a beer?
End Scene
Sigh...I wish. Somehow I am feeling nervous today and thus the potassium filled banana.

I am mentally sending you a small portion of my Celtic Playoff Mojo to help you with your dissertation defense. I'm sorry I can't send you more, but I can't risk a second loss to the Hawks. On the bright side, even a small portion of the Mojo should enable you to hit jumper after jumper, Ray Allen fashion, during your defense.
Good luck!
You have supplied sufficient mojo (please reference the official name on my blogger profile). Thanks. I hope it doesn't hurt the Celts tonight.
AARARRGGHHHHH!!!! I gave you too much! I now hold you personally responsible to make it up to the Celtics by doing some sort of good deed for the bird world, such as saving all the whooping cranes or breeding penguins with condors or something cool like that.
