Ghost Busters said "Don't cross the streams"

The LFM class of 09 is back in town for their Mid-Stream Review.  This review is a great chance for the returning LFMs to discuss how their internship is going, reconnect with their class, interview with potential companies for post-school jobs, meet the new class of LFMs, etc.

I've learned most of my life lessons from Ghost Busters, so I would like to look at this in Ghost Busters terms.

Background Life Lesson Example 1: Winston tells Ray, "Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!"  Obvious life lesson...because if you say no, Gozer tries to kill you.

Background Life Lesson Example 2: Ladies love a pimp ride.  I give you the Eco 1...need I say more.

Case at Hand: The 09 LFM class meeting the 10 LFM class...or to keep with the Ghost Busters analogy...crossing the streams.

The movie Ghost Busters clearly teaches the extreme risk/reward potential of crossing the streams.

The Risk: As described by Egon Spengler, "Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light."

Maybe it is both.  Either way, it sounds bad.

The Reward: You might tap into the power required to explode a Destructor who has taken the form of a giant Stay Puft Marshmallow man.  The real bonus of taking down a giant Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is all of the free smores.  I estimate that the city of New York got enough marshmallow from this incident to make 341,768,480 smores (assuming of course that they could find 113,922,827 Hershey Bars and 5,340,132 boxes of graham crackers).

As for the two LFM classes, we started to mingle this week but our camping trip set for this weekend has been canceled due to rainy weather.  This may be a bad sign...only time will tell.  The two classes are having a party this Friday and hopefully some type of fun bonding event this Saturday.  If you reading this Blog after Sunday...the world did not end...and hopefully someone made smores.
