Well, I'm certainly not just a calculator! I am a reasonably complex algorithm under development at the MIT labs. As you can see, however, my Creators have a long way to go.

A very long way. But they've made some good progress, after all you do like aftershock. :rolleyes:

No she doesn't. An Aftershock is red Sourpuss, tequila and a splash of Tabasco. I know this because I invented it:biggrin:

Advice: Never drink a whole bottle of it on your own the night before your last final. Finals on hangovers are not fun.

It is obvious now that my Creators are drunken grad students. I am fortunate that I was never programmed to feel shame.

What is that?

A tad late for that. Had I ever participated in a final final, which I didn't, it would have been long before you were born.

Bottle? That must be something different. I was talking about the shooter.
Is there a semi-final final, or are you just being redundant to confuse us? :biggrin:

Hangovers while giving finals are nearly as bad...worse...you don't get to sit down. When I was still a grad student and a TA, there were several TAs assigned to each exam room for finals and one who was "in charge" (the one who read the instructions and made the judgement calls on handling any problems that came up). Well, the TA "in charge" had a bit too much to drink when we all went out the night before the exam to celebrate the course being over. To her credit, she did make it to the exam room, and was thrilled when I brought her a gift-wrapped bottle of Excedrin (we were good friends and I knew how she was going to be feeling). She read the instructions and then kept disappearing out of the room. We thought it best not to inform the course coordinator that she spent most of the exam in the ladies' room vomiting. We decided in future years to have the end-of-year party AFTER the final. :biggrin:

That's just not fair! :cry:

I didn't used to get hangovers. I really don't get them much anymore either because I don't drink enough to get that drunk anymore, but there was a time in my late 20's when I realized my youthful resiliance was slipping away.

Hangovers suck. SO much.

So incredibly much.

Bloody hell, woman... don't bring that up again! You know what he was doing, right?! I figured it out last night. I had this damned thread on its last legs, and Nietzsche got into this whole girl thing just to keep me distracted while Artman stuffed it full of chocolate and nursed it back to health. A pox on both your houses!

Both my houses? Cool, when did I get a second house? Can you give me the address? :biggrin:

Well... it's not... I mean... if you really want to get technical about it... it's not exactly a house. Kinda more like... well... an imaginatively decorated corner of my basement... :redface:

This reminds me of that movie about Andy Kaufmann (sp?) staring that other comedian, whatshisname. Jim Carrey.

Getting creepy? Your bio doesn't mention a birth date, but since you're still married and still working, I was probably creepy before you were born. :biggrin:

Another Canuk export. 'Man On the Moon', from whence arose a truly enjoyable title song...

I like Andy Kaufman as depicted in that movie. I think I understand him. Maybe I was Andy Kaufman in a past life. Or maybe not.

I also like that song.

I actually saw the original real Andy do that Latka/Elvis transformation and it was incredible. I doubt that you were him in a past life (aside from the fact that I don't believe in reincarnation); you would pretty much have to have been born after he died.

I never looked up when Andy died until now. May 16, 1984. I was born in October 1984!

Hey Franz! Now is the time to say 'creepy'. :eek:

Hey! Wait a minute... he can't be the reincarnation of Andy. Andy was funny.

Evo, I love the way you choreographed those little squeeky toys in your post.

You've already booked your Florida retirement trailer? (Or is that just a Canuk thing too?)

I don't know where they keep finding more room in Florida for all those trailers the old people retire to. You could retire to Arizona instead and hang around with SOS if you wanted. That's the other state that seems to acquire a lot of retirees.

I believe we've already established in a couple of other threads that she has some unreasoning aversion to necrophilia.

I just thought Moonbear would look cute in a Jeannie outfit. You can't disagree with me there.
But I can't see her saying "Yes, Master!" too readily.

No, I certainly can't. In fact... wait a second... my keyboard's moving around...
...where was I? Oh yeah, I think that I'd Superglue her eyelids open just to be on the safe side. Given half a chance, she'd probably turn me into a chocolate bunny.

Not too readily, but for the right motivation. :rolleyes: o:) :rolleyes:

A Jeannie outfit sounds fun, and I already know how to flounce my ponytail around when I nod my head.
