Most defenses are easier to beat than the final boss, though. Good luck tomorrow!

You'll do fine. But if you get a question that stumps you, look directly into the eye of the inquisitor and say, with all the seriousness you can muster, "UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A B A START."

Some of us in my program would psyche ourselves up before a defense by practicing the following exchange:

Committee Member: So let's get started. Why don't you tell us about your dissertation.

Candidate: No! Why don't you tell me about your dissertation!
