...you can only hope to contain us.
The 2005 Resident Retreat was held recently, and while it didn't quite live up
to last years event in terms of scandal (eg: Frymoyer's flagrant display of the
gluteal area) it still was a pretty damn good time. As a disclaimer it should be
noted that I ripped off a bunch of pictures from Henry, Diana, and Lisa for this
post.
We all made the early morning trek up to a retreat center on Tomales Bay
in preparation for the day's activities.
Some were geared up for battle... other's preferred more subtle "cranberry"
tones.
The place we stayed at was gorgeous... great views of Tomales Bay...
...sunlight sifting through the fog and trees... (Nice picture, Lisa!)
... and an extremely rare sighting of the local beefcake striking a majestic pose.
The days event started out with a series of team building ropes course
activities.
Never has the color cranberry been worn so effectively by a man with such
obvious determination.
No ropes course is complete without passing people through the "spider web."
Sweet!!
I was on Team #3 and we put on a solid display of athletecism, quick-wittedness
and Cold Lampin'!!
Kevin, on the other hand, proved what a diet consisting solely of Skittle's bite-
sized candies can do to a septic system.
We ended up winning the day's competition and celebrated in typical fashion
by creating a totally awesome human pyramid. Super bonus points to Rob
Goldsby, heme-onc attending extrordinaire, for being rock solid while anchoring
the base. Team #3 RULES!!!!
Don't mess with Texas.
Later in the day, beers were cracked open and the senior residents taught
the intern class a few lessons on the football field that they will not soon forget
Final score = Senior domination.
Phelps went down the road a bit and came back with a bag full of freshly
harvested oysters.
A little bit of elbow grease + lemon juice + tobasco = Deliciousness
Not surprising that the ladies flocked to the victors on the football field.
A bunch of us made a pledge to grow mustaches for the retreat. I was actually
starting to sport a pretty respectable one (after about 2 weeks of heavy effort)
but then I chickened out and shaved it off right before the retreat. C-Buck and
Hollander came through though. The evidence...
Sorry to say it Seth, but I think Buck's pushbroom has got your cookie-duster beat.
I beat you both later-on when I sported this pretty sweet 'stache.
Everyone knows that the real reason we have the Resident Retreat is for the
wine tasting, so lets get it on...
Liza and Kat...
Alison and Darren...
Shon, Betty, and Cynnie ...
Mark and Heath...
Meanwhile ABU's young son got decked out in his jammie-jams and from there
on out it was a foregone conclusion that this...
S--t...
...is...
...B-A-N-A-N-A-S!!
Wine glasses were filled to rediculous levels...
...Charles, Ackley, and Phelps struck a pose...
...Alison, to the awe of Charlie and Stacey, took hits straight from the bottle...
...Liza made a mess of herself...
... and these boys kept it real... too real.
I've said it before, and I'm certain I'll say it again, but seriously... the single
best quality of the UCSF Pediatrics residents is their willingness, at the slightest
provocation, to throw it down on the dance floor.
Woot!!
I think that this version of the "Rumpshaker" is illegal in all the red states.
Alison and Kevin reinacted the infamous "Ass Slap" from the dance floor at the
intern retreat 2004...
...and then Liza and Henry added to the legend.
Don't worry your little hearts, I got down with the best of them...
...and I'll be the first to admit that I pulled out all the stops and busted some
very advanced moves. Even I wasn't prepared for the possibility of a move
that could challenge ...
...The... Best... Dance... Move... Ever.
My friends, I think we may have a contender. We'll have to wait for the
final ruling from our panel of expert judges... but until then, in all it's glory...
Behold...
Possible... New... Best... Dance... Move... Ever?
However the voting shakes out, that picture flipping rules.
Anyway, back to your regularily scheduled programming...
Natalie looks so unassuming... coy... pretty...
...but give her a case of chardonnay and she turns into...
...Morgana the Kissing Bandit.
Betty and Geener...
After a month of working with her during my PIS rotation, I learned the
true awesomeness of Susy Jeng.
Chris, Hersh, Erin and I sit back and take stock of the situation.
Mark, Shon, and Lisa...
Chuck lands a low blow by Cold Lampin' me when I least expect it...
A few choice words passed between us, but in the end we reconciled and
vowed to...
...Cold Lamp for good... not evil.
Henry would like to think his gunz have more firepower than mine, but...
...there's really no contest.
Anu's fan club surprised her by unveiling a limited edition "Anupama Narla
4th Grade Superstar T-Shirt."
I finally fulfilled a lifelong dream by being able to make out with Anu. I do feel
a little queasy about the fact that it was a 4th grade version of her.
Geener, Tim, and Kajal.
It's not a party until Hollander unleashes the gut.
He really is very proud of it.
It is a little fishy how there is always a flashlight around to spotlight him when
the gut comes out. It wouldn't surprise me if Seth carries one around at all
times just for occasions such as this. For example...
