Mudding from MtnDew

This blog post is for all you rednecks out there! If you own a 4x4 vehicle, one of the most fun things to do is go mudding! Now, mudding isn’t for you if you own a 4x4 that looks like this.

It may be 4x4, but I can guarantee you, it won’t be going anywhere. Also, mudding can really wreck your vehicle if you’re not careful. There’s a disclaimer at the bottom you might want to read about that. However, if you do decide to take your vehicle mudding, here are a few tips I’ve learned from experience or old veterans of the activity! Enjoy!

1. Never wear good clothes and always bring another change of clothes. Nothing sucks more than driving back home in stiff muddy jeans.
   
   
   
2. Make sure your vehicle actually is 4wd! You may have a Jeep, but I can assure you, they make 2wd Jeeps.
   
   
   
3. Never go mudding without someone else there capable of pulling you out.
   
   
   
    No matter how kick-butt your ride is, it will get stuck at some point. Like I said, this vehicle must be CAPABLE of pulling your ride out. Just because your friend has his Metro Geo there doesn’t mean you’re safe.
   
   
   
4. Never drive through a puddle that you don’t know how deep it is. It may look shallow, but it could be a five foot pit. Also, never hit a puddle going at a high speed, even if it’s a shallow puddle. Water can splash up into the engine and hydro lock it. It takes thousands of dollars to fix this, and may even mean buying a brand new motor. (Translation for girls: roughly equivalent to spilling an oil-based salad dressing on your favorite shirt and not being able to get it out. What? That doesn't make sense to a guy?)
5. Only go on your own private property or on designated off road trails. Do NOT go mudding in farmer’s fields or under power lines. This is illegal.
6. For an added challenge, don’t use 4wd until you get stuck.
7. If you aren’t getting any traction, do not floor it. You will only dig a deeper hole, and your transmission might explode. Nobody likes that.
   
   
   
8. If you get the frame hung up, you’re screwed. No matter what you do, your tires won’t get any traction, and if you do manage to get out, you might rip out something vital if you don’t have really good skid plates. I’ve seen brake lines and exhaust systems get ripped apart this way.
9. Take several people with you! Not only will this make the trip so much more enjoyable, but these same people can also jump on your back bumper to give you more traction if you get stuck! (Granted, at the expense of looking like mud monsters after the experience)
   
   
   
10. Wash the mud off as soon as you can. It may look cool, but it will be impossible to get off later. Mud holds water, so things rust faster and tires can become imbalanced if the mud is left in there.
    
    
    
11. For those of you people who live where there isn't mud... this doesn't count as mudding.

Yes, Gucci

My Physics professor unexpectedly developed a sense of humor during Monday's class.

Sure, he's made jokes in class before, They just usually had to do with someone running into a wall.

Tuesday afternoon, my class was scheduled to present our project reports for the Physics staff at my university.
I asked my Professor what we were supposed to wear. He thought about it for a moment, and said: "Gucci"

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

One of my classmates spoke up to clarify. "So you mean business casual?"

"Gucci"

Half of my class took this as sarcasm. The other half, including myself, took this to mean that we needed to dress up.

I arrived a little early Tuesday afternoon, and ran into my physics professor. He muffled a snort, and then started laughing. "I was joking, you know."

There's nothing to break the ice before your first presentation like your Professor telling you that you're wearing the wrong thing.

Fortunately, half of my class was dressed up along with me, so the people who showed up in jeans looked under-dressed.
