LPL Graduate Skits!

LPL Graduate Skits!

At the end of the fall semester, the Department of Planetary Sciences gets together for a year-end Holiday Party. Typically this is held during the afternoon of "Dead Day", i.e. the day before the final exam period begins. The party traditionally consists of a lunch buffet and desserts, mingling, an appearance by Santa and his elves (read: prize raffle), and finally the infamous faculty, postdoc, and graduate student skits.

Bob Marcialis was known to make a brew of eggnog so potent that it came with its own warning label. The recipe has been archived here for anyone who misses the good ol' days of frothy eggnog at the end of holiday party.

Here we provide the graduate student skits and top 10 lists for your amusement and perusal.

Technical Note: The 2006 skits require JavaScript and Shockwave Flash. Some of the older video files require a Quicktime Movie (.mov) plug-in in order to be played within your web browser.
