I saw some nerds following me the other day, maybe some of gate's cronies?
Yeah they might be after you. The fortunate thing is that being nerds, it will take about 20 of them to do you any real harm, the bad thing is that he can afford to send more than that.

Oh, they don't do you in with physical attacks, they incapacitate you with the nerd laugh. It doesn't seem like much when it's just one of them, but when there are 20 nerds laughing in unison, you'll think your head is about to split open from the pain of hearing that sound. And while you're writhing on the ground, searching for earmuffs, they'll be installing the beta version of Windoze Bugs 2005 (originally due for release in 2004, but once beta testing is done, will likely will be bundled with Windoze Turtle in 2010, unless Apple comes up with something other than animal names for its OS by then, in which case Windoze Turtle will be renamed to sound as similar as possible to whatever Apple is doing at the time; you can't waste nerd energy on coming up with creative things like names for software, it's easier to just steal other people's ideas).

The power that can be generated by numerous nerds in raucous vocalization is an awful and wondrous thing to behold indeed. I have seen strong men's jaws drop and their heads turn to stare in rapt amazement at the sight of even just a few nerds giggling.

(You may think that I am being hard on nerds, but I do live in a glass house, so I figure I can toss stones if I want to.)
:-p

If you folks want to suffer, just have to hear some album of http://www.thenerdsrockinferno.com/album.htm , a hardcore garage punk band that is a nightmare for delicate ears

and how do i only have 0 posts when I've just posted 2? 3 now!
Since this section of the forum is not related to physics, posts here don't count.

And this triggers my spam-warning-light as well. Checking...

[one minute later] This rates pretty high on my spam-o-meter. Making my recommendation...

But they're all just having fun here, most of us don't follow links like this and everybody has given plenty of comments telling so. Oh well, it was an interesting conversation, but I should go to class.

Aww shucks...tribdog and Ivan were really hoping you'd let egg stay around so Tsu and I would have someone else to torture for a while. :rolleyes: Spammers are such fun targets. We've got the special purple probe out and everything. Can we have a little more fun with him before you send him away? :biggrin: :devil: :smile:

egg joined on Jan 4th, so he's been here a few weeks, he didn't just join, post and disappear. His link wasn't a crackpot site, wasn't selling anything or advertising a pyramid scheme, so like any member that links to something of interest, I let it stay.

BTW, welcome to PF egg! Stop by the welcome tent and pick up your fish, it's getting a bit smelly. :-p

Evo, I'm getting worried about you. You seem so much more business like lately. Sure I know you a still telling jokes, but they seem a bit forced. I think it has something to do with being the moderator and having to read all the crap I write. I don't know, I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's the outfit. Have you been dewormed lately? That always changes my disposition.
 
  • #43
I'm super busy/distracted. :frown: Just enough time to pop in here and make sure you haven't burned the place down. :wink:

is it because you neglected your work by spending all your time online? tsk tsk. you've brought it on yourself young lady. Maybe now you'll think next time when you get the urge to jump online at 2:30 in the morning.

wow, i can stay?!?

the reason I haven't posted before is because I haven't needed to! I've been reading a lot of the threads and thought that this might be a good place to spread the word of the dirtsurfer. I'm not selling them or anything it's just something new that i thought i could bring peoples attention to!
Anyway this threads been at the top of the forum for a few days now so my work here is done, oh yeah and the hits to our site is looking better all the time!

where do i get my fish?

oh, it's killing me. but I'm known around here for my will power. just ask anyone and they'll tell you, "Tribdog, he might not be likable, or even tolerable, but he really likes to weigh all possibilites before doing something he might regret."

Yeah, right. egg, if your server suddenly starts smoking or bursts into flame, you'll know tribdog clicked on the link. :smile:

You really should never take any of us too seriously when we're in GD. We ALL pick on tribdog, so we let him pick on the new people. It's just part of your initiation. Once your initiation is complete, we'll let you pick on tribdog too. :-p

Trust me,our Tribbie can find more interesting and less painful ways to crash his computer than clicking on your link... :-p

Daniel.

P.S.He was just about to change his name from "WALKING CALAMITY" to "WHEEL-CHAIRED CALAMITY" :biggrin:
 
  • #52
that's why I'm not clicking on anything labeled dirtsurfing. I'd probably get interested, try it, and write about my recovery here.
 
  • #53
the more people that get interested the better!
if enough people take it up Guiness will recognise it as a sport and then the world record attempt for speed can be made!
The unofficial record is about 75mph. Some people claim to have topped 100 but i find that hard to beleive.
OOOH the wonders of gravity.
 
  • #54
100mph huh? what was that link again. NO don't tell me. I don't want to know
 
  • #55
errm you'l probably be disappointed with our vid now!
21mph was my fastest that day and that's when i fell off!
need to strap myself on!

At least ten times. Tribdog has no will power, he's like a puppy that runs as fast as it can don the hall, slides across the linoleum not knowing that it can't stop there and goes smack into the wall (and of course its hilarious to watch and the children trick him into doing it over and over).

:-p :-p

I have not looked, besides I've got a headache.

Thats from running into the wall over and over. I'll have to yell at the sisters to get them to stop doing that to you.
