I am getting new shoes! Shoes! THey are Bloch dance sneakers. The boost DRT II type and they have silver mesh on the top and cherry red soles!!!!! I am so excited!!!! (theyre a very late christmas present).

WHee!

I think i get to go shoe shopping on monday (day off, yesssssss! dont brag about getting weeks off around lc or something. i dont understand the phenomenon. someone should explain this leavingcerts thing to me. )

One time i was at cty american and my friend's RA brought 25 pairs of shoes, and we thought that had to be a record, but the writing and poetry teacher brought 27 pair. he was a weirdish one. but cool. he had a neat watch.

does anybody know the record for most shoes brought to ctyi at one session by one person? i was just wondering. and also, what about other ctyi records? bring out your weird feats everyone!

As a bit of a veteran of these boards, I thought I'd seen it all.

I was wrong.

honestly, I don't really care

I think i have the record for fewest: 3 this year.
I like the sound of those ones with the cherry red soles!
Other records:
Who had the most money swallowed up in the x-building machines?
How old were the donuts?
Who lost the most weight through lack of food?
Who were the oldest/youngest at s1 2001?
Who brought the most cd's?
Who brought the most suitcases?
Who drank the most snapple?
etc,etc,etc

MANGO MADNESS RULES!

i didnt bring any shoes - but i was wearing a pair when i turned up.

I also brought a full desktop computer, a stereo and about 50 cds - and about 2000 mp3 on my computer

You, you Mariah Carey, Imelda Marcos wannabee, you!!!

Christine · 17-02-2002 6:55pm

I greatly admire Imelda Marcos. Anyone who manages to own 13,000 pairs of pink shoes without getting bored of the colour deserves some kind of award.

at session 2,it had to be tom hanley.when i started building the snapple(or music,the more correct term) tower,he'd hand me about six bottles a day.

i'm not really into shoe-shopping.it just doesn't do it for me

Oh, I thought it was only about 450 pairs, Mariah Carey was on MTV the other day and had a dessing room (in her house) dedicated to shoes. The room was twice the size of my bedroom.

I think Sven had the most CDs with him... circa 64 I believe. And he purchased many more while there.

Hey alaskagirl, thislink is for you! And happy Birthday! I was gonna type out happy birthday to you... but i'm really tired! Had my mid term last week! Too much partying!

smiles · 17-02-2002 9:39pm

Hmmmm.... Cormac bought me snapple cause of one of the (many) bets he lost with me.... which one was that for?

oh oh oh. that was the freaking out one!

<< Fio >>

lordsippa · 17-02-2002 10:19pm

It was 69 cds.
And i left with 72.

So there you go.

Plus ... hows about conspiracy theories? Like whether the orange juice was powdered or not...

stereo_steve

i was just wondering, who are you? sorry im a bit of a featherbrain.

sisob · 19-02-2002 6:27pm

there was orange in the orange-water. it was proven when someone who is highly allergic to oranges drank some and was fine :-)

Crash · 19-02-2002 11:08pm

hmmm.....technically i had no shoes, only a pair of runners.

which don''t count as shoes. and Sico, you should realise that the CTYI board sets all kinds of precendents every day!!

stereo_steve · 20-02-2002 8:25pm

Who am I? Why I'm the one and only stereo_steve! I'm no one you know if thats what your wondering! And I actually am a very bad shoe shoper so I probably shouldn't be posting here...

Christine · 20-02-2002 8:39pm

I remember in 2000 that the biotech class ran some tests on the orange juice. It had more fat in it than a handful of peanuts, but I can't recall whether or not they detected any citric acid whatsoever.

Cait · 20-02-2002 10:30pm

funny, i thought it was us (bio systems) who tested the orange juice. i must have been mistaken

Man U babe · 22-02-2002 8:15pm

You were right Cait, twas biosystems that tested the orange juice. Biotech proved that CTYI milk has a bacterial concentration about the same as the average spitwad.

Re: who lost the most weight.

I went from 8 or 9 stone down to 7. it was quite worrying

I still havent put that weight back on.

smiles · 22-02-2002 11:54pm

I lost .75 of a stone in the first 5 days (sunday to thursday).

At the end i was down 1.5 .... nyom those chocolate eveil yum muffins

Still down most of it thankfully!

alaskagirl · 22-02-2002 11:57pm

how much is a stone? i lost 15 lbs., but i dont know the equivalent.

imp · 23-02-2002 12:31am

Strangely I didn't manage to lose any weight at CTYI...

qwidgybo · 23-02-2002 6:18pm

i lost some weight,but i don't know how much.all i know is that my dungarees usually sit on my hips,and they wouldn't do that by the end of ctyi,i'd have to wear them properly.

Imperial: 16 ounces in a pound, 14 pounds in a stone and I think 8 stone in a hundredweight, 20 hundredweight in a ton. American is different.

1 ounce ~= 28.5 grammes
1 pound ~= 454 grammes

Shoes! Shoes! I love shoes!! (plus the ctyi recordbooks...)
