In one of my exuberant moods, I feel it's high time that we have a thread in honour of our favourite Indian-American (I'm actually part Indian myself) physicist: Gokul.

I don't really talk to him or participate in many of his threads, but from what I do see, he is a good guy.

This is for you buddy.

I like that smiley with the perpetually refilling beer glass! I want a glass like that! :biggrin:

Cheers to you Gokul! (Is there a special occasion for this sudden expression of appreciation?)[/size]
 
Nope. This is just where the Gokul Appreciators and shameless thieves hang out. :buggrin: :biggrin:

Well, I realized he's surpassed the 3000 post mark (he's up to 3055 or so now), so that's a good enough reason for celebration for me! :buggrin: to you too! :biggrin:
 
I must be a shameless thief then. :blushing:

Folks this is really embarassing. :blushing:

I really can't imagine what jcsd's been drinking or inhaling ! :blushing:

I've been pretty heatedly (by my standards) arguing with Jason recently, so it's awful decent of him to not call me a moron, or somesuch. :blushing:

Thanks y'all !1111 :buggrin: at you Tsu ! And, oh yes...:blushing:

The Ballad of 43201


The Ballad of 43201

Stuck in an airport our Gokul's
Been seized by security yokels —
"Flying while brown" is their cry

Oh no, it's the anal probe — flee!
To escape just hop in the RV
That Tsu's driving down from the sky

 Tsu, just ignore the ice
 You put that pedal to the floor
 So they can't mess with our Gokul no more

So poor Gokul now off on the lam
(Where tribdog supplies him with ham)
Pines for GaAs and a laser

But the Feds have now gone to code red
So he hides out in Evo's tool shed
Sending Fauchon whene'er he repays her

 MIH, go fetch your shotgun
 With Jaws of Death sit at watch by the door
 As warning not to mess with our Gokul no more

Then PFers are brought to detention —
Virtuosi all of stupid quetions —
Thus the dragnet for Gokul's undone

For in response to their queries
They're fed unlikely theories
Ending "Four Three and Two Zero One"

 Hey y'all, set them a treasure hunt
 We can lose them in Ulan Bator
 To show they'll not mess with our Gokul no more

Indeedy no — they'll not mess with our Gokul no more
​



Note: GaAs should be pronounced by letter here rather than as gallium arsenide – this all scans badly enough without adding extra syllables... :wink:
And Gokul – my apologies if you don't eat pork.

We were just partying. Freebird was blasting and we were hoisting a few flaming drinks when Gokul just happened by and, well, I made an effigy of him, and put it on a pole and, well...Tsu likes him better than me :cry: , so I sort of, well...set him on fire :rolleyes: and...But I stamped him out right away. :blushing: :redface:

Oh, Artman! I'm so sorry! Your post was on the previous page and I was on a landline and didn't have time to look back that far. I'm just old and forgetful about who has posted in each threadl! :rolleyes:

WE LOVE OUR ARTMAN! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

We all love you Artman! I'm sure even Gokul loves you (after all you did stamp him out right away!). And as soon as he's released from the emergency room for the cuts, burns and sprains, he'll tell you so himself! :approve:

Thanks Tsu! :!)

I guess I should apologize to Gokul now. :redface: Sorry Gokul, next time I set you on fire, I'll put you out with water instead of stamping on you. (Unless of course it's a chemical fire! Then I probably should stamp.
) o:)

Tis not mine to thus be so unkind
So's to put poor tribdog from your mind
 Though the world does him batter
 (P'raps he's allergic to matter?)
His adoration for ye's quite refined
​



(And to Moonbear, MIH, Evo, Tsu: thanks :blushing:
I think I may have embarrassed Gokul though –
so much that he won't stick his nose in this thread again o:) :redface: )

(And hmm... given that I seem to have precipitated a miscommunication between Tsu and Artman that put poor Gokul in a burn ward, I'm not sure I can blame him... :bugeye: )

Ah plover, 'tis not your fault. As soon as Gokul has his IV removed and can get to a computer, he'll tell you so himself. :approve:

When Freebird's playing everything's okay. :smile: What's a paltry third degree burn when you've got three Skynyrds playing an extended lead and Artman running around with flaming Zippos ? :biggrin:

Thanks all - you folks are a perfectly topping lot. Cheers ! :approve:

<Raises olympic torch> Now, where were we ?
 
  • #47
My hat's off to you Gokul. :biggrin:

Actually, I seldom wear a hat (my avatar), but under a blazing sun, in a dry land with a temperature of 105°F (40.6°C) for several hours, I had to wear a hat.
