goodbye colin

yesterday was our last pharm prac FOREVER AND EVERRR (unless i do pharm next year)

was a good one. (colin is what we once christened our guinea pig ileum)
seen and heard in the lab -
[it is, of course, funnier if you remember that T and R are 2 towering british boys.]

R: let's nettle this bad boy!

we got a particularly gross ileum filled with god knows what for the prac,
me: ARGHHH!!! i've got guinea pig shit all over my fingers!
T+R: awwwwww
10seconds later..
me: ARGHHH!! i've got guinea pig shit all over my fingers and it's DRIED UP!!!
T+R: awwwww

when i had to re-stitch the disgusting gut for the 5th time,
me: i can't take this anymore. if it breaks again, you guys can sew it!
R: oh but you sew beautifully...

when i told K about how awful our gut was,
K: oh yeahh we got that the last time! we thought we might have got a bit of rectum!

as T proceded to knock over all the chemicals,
R: you have the finesse of an elephant!

when the experiment didn't go as planned and i uncovered an error we made earlier,
R: oh ym you've opened a can of worms!
me: hmmm. i feel like having some gummy worms.
T: OHHH!! wouldn't it be amazing if you could get gummy worms in a can!
R: yeahh! then it'd be like opening a can of (gummy) worms!! yeahh!!
T: we should market this!
.................... (this of course ended up with us making a trip down to the market to get gummy worms.)
