When a Geochemistry Technician Blogs about Avril Lavigne in an Alternate Universe
This is from the Blog of a Geochemistry Technician (Chuck), Chuck is from Central Australia, he asks his readers to imagine Avril Lavigne in an alternate universe. I thought it was funny so I posted it here.
From the blog titled: Lounge of the Lab Lemming Postdoc Imagine a subtly different alternate universe. A universe where academic jobs were still cutthroat, but a universe where scientists spoke honestly about their ambitions, where scientific competition was as engrained in popular culture as romantic rivalry, and where Avril Lavigne is a promising young analyst: Hey! Hey! You! You! I don't like your postdoc! No way No way! Think your lab’s in gridlock Hey! Hey! You! You! I could be your postdoc Hey! Hey! You! You! I know that you cite me No way! No way! No it's not a secret Hey! Hey! You! You! I want to be your postdoc Your gas line, I'll streamline it so it’s vicious I use your theory all the time it’s so addictive Don't you know that I can prove it- I can prove you’re right! (you’re right you’re right...) Don't pretend I think you know I'm damn precious And hell yeah I'm your sub-field's Fullbright princess I can tell you like my work, and you know I'm right Her blanks- so whatever My pre-cision’s better I think we should get together now And that's what everyone's talking about! Hey! Hey! You! You! I don't like your postdoc! No way No way! Think your lab’s in gridlock Hey! Hey! You! You! I could be your postdoc Hey! Hey! You! You! I know that you cite me No way! No way! No it's not a secret Hey! Hey! You! You! I want to be your postdoc I can see it when your papers citation me And even when you plagiarize I know you think of me I know you talk about my protocols again and again (and again and again and again) So come over here, tell me what I want to hear Better yet make your post-doc disappear I don't want to hear you cite her work ever again (And again and again and again!) Her blanks- so whatever My pre-cision’s better I think we should get together now And that's what everyone's talking about! Hey! Hey! You! You! I don't like your postdoc! No way No way! Think your lab’s in gridlock Hey! Hey! You! You! I could be your postdoc Hey! Hey! You! You! I know that you cite me No way! No way! No it's not a secret Hey! Hey! You! You! I want to be your postdoc In a season you'll be wrapped around my finger Cuz I can, cuz I can measure better There's no other So when's it gonna sink in A theorist with a lab- What were you thinking?! In a decade you'll be working in my basement Cuz I can, cuz I can fund it better I’ll have tenure So when's it gonna sink in You can adjunct Or be working in my system! Hey! Hey! You! You! I don't like your postdoc! No way No way! Think your lab’s in gridlock Hey! Hey! You! You! I could be your postdoc Hey! Hey! You! You! I know that you cite me No way! No way! No it's not a secret Hey! Hey! You! You! I want to be your postdoc No way! No way! Hey! Hey! It's a bit scary how few words I had to change to make this work. Of course, the big conceit here is that in our universe, I find it is the men, and not the women academics who are more likely to be snarky and petty instead of rational and professional. P.S. - Here is a Link to Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend Original Music Video, link to original music video (so you can sing along). --Chuck I thought some of the comments left in response to this blog post were pretty funny too, if your interested in reading them follow the source link below...

Meanwhile, somewhere in an alternate universe, Avril is singing her heart out tonight at the Santa Barbara Bowl in California, her voice has never sounded better, and the fans are going nuts.     Sigh... Get better soon Av!!!!!!
