[tribdog]

lol, don't be so serious. Hey! this one is for you. *slamming mouse against left ear*

 

[Les Sleeth]

lol, don't be so serious. Hey! this one is for you. *slamming mouse against left ear*

LMAO! So you got me, eh? I'll remember that.

 

[tribdog]

Sure you will? for how long.
Hi, my name's tribdog.

 

[jcsd]

In quantum physics observables are represneted by self-adjoint operators as they have real eigenvalues.

jcsd is the name of a rain God worshipped by nude ethnic people in the rainforest, however I called myself jcsd because it is the intials of my first, middle and last names.

Hi, my name's tribdog.

Work for the Arizona Tribune, right? In the pet section, surrepticiously selling puppies to Chinese restaurants, right? I was shot in the had in Viet Nam, so occasionally I get things mixed up, but I always get my revenge. You are on my list dogboy.

 

[tribdog]

damn! I got to quit making all these lists. Stop me before I say anything else stupid. If you can remember. lol, damn did it again.

 

[Moonbear]

I assumed you are now a happy person able to look back on things with humor. I was just appreciating your story in total sincerity. I could tell you some majorly painful stuff about my life too, but I wouldn't put it in thread that is dedicated to being silly!

I think he could look back on these things are more humorous if he was actually looking BACK, and not still doing them! I think he needs a more attentive keeper.

 

[Loren Booda]

"Loren" as in the laurel wreath of champions. My parents found that, my given name, in a phone book.

"Booda" evolved from Bode, as in Bode's law. Our original German surname was "Americanized" (but sounding more Chinese) when my ancestors emigrated from Europe in the mid-1800's.

Mk is a tribute to Michio Kaku.

I'm still waiting for Les to tell me more about that bear mooning episode. That night is all such a blur now. Last thing I recall was sitting out by the campsite, and someone mentioned having a bottle of tequila. Nobody had a shot glass, so we were just swigging from the bottle...I think...it's such a haze. I just know they were all looking at me really funny the next day and laughing and not telling me what was so funny.

who was? The bears?

 

[Moonbear]

who was? The bears?

I don't even know. I was sooo hungover.

 

[Evo]

I don't even know. I was sooo hungover.

I remember the one time I got totally blitzed. I was out with a few friends and my best friend Cindy had recently broken up with my brother (her fiance) and she was in a rotten mood, so she kept challenging me to chugging contests. The problem was I was drinking scotch - neat, she was drinking beer. Not really a fair chugging contest.

I got really drunk, really fast. I ended up putting too much perfume on. Everyone said it was too much.

That's it. I am so boring that even having imbibed enough scotch to put a blue whale into a coma, the worst thing I've ever done is go too heavy on perfume. I remember every moment of that night.

 

[franznietzsche]

Yeah evo, that's pretty bad.

If it makes you feel any better the worst thing I've ever done was throw up, and I've never forgotten anything either.

Oh, don't feel too bad about that. In reality, I've never done anything bad while drunk. For me, there's just too fine of a line between complete coherence and passed out for me to really do anything stupid. I just lose the ability to thermoregulate while drunk, so I spend the night putting clothes on and taking them back off because I'm cold, I'm hot, I'm cold, I'm hot, I'm cold, I'm hot...

 

[Evo]

Perhaps it's because we both like Kafka.

When I was 14, I had not read "The Castle", I think I had read everything else. I went once a week to an "artsy" theatre that played some off the wall movies and one week they were playing "The Castle". It was pretty interesting, the land surveyor comes to this village that has a hold on it by this mysterious, foreboding Castle. He is just about to go to the castle and discover what this dark secret is when (wait, I don't want to ruin this for anyone that doesn't know). franznietzsche, don't say anything. Let them all get ticked off like I did.

Oh, we'd be a great pair. I'll be wallowing in a cloud of perfume and you'll be getting dressed and undressed all night. I think the guys will find you more interesting.

 

[BoulderHead]

This thread has evolved into a Cafe (sans coffee)...

I thought it was all about ME !
Aye was at the top of the list !
Eye had interest expressed to me ! :!) :!) :!)
I changed my mind, carry on.

I actually haven't read the The Castle either. I've read The Judgement, The Metamorphosis and Conversation with the Supplicant. Great stuff all of it. I have In the penal colony, and A Hunger Artist (its a one volume collection), but i haven't read them yet.

 

[franznietzsche]

Yeah, because around her we won't be choking on the fumes.

 

[Evo]

Posts 58 & 59 were on topic. We're just hijacking, I mean keeping the thread going until more members share their stories.

BTW, Boulderhead, where is YOUR story? or did I miss it.

 

[franznietzsche]

He still hasn't posted it yet, the bum.

 

[Evo]

Oh, I am so glad I didn't tell you the end of The Castle. In the Penal Colony was the first story I read. I still can't use a rotiserrie without thinking of that story.

 

[tribdog]

penal colony. is it too Bevis and Butthead if I laugh at that? I'm not here, just woke up to use the bathroom, going back to bed now

 

[franznietzsche]

I read The Metamorphosis first, for 11th grade english and immediately after read The Stranger by Camus(for the same class). I need to start reading Dostoevsky, just because of all the references to him in Nietzsche and the influence on Kafka.

 

[Moonbear]

Only one guy has ever borne witness to this behavior of mine. He said it made for a very LONG night. He didn't mind that I was taking my clothes off, but then I kept wanting to put them back on a few minutes later.

Moonbear, you're such a disappointer. Teasing himlike that, its just not nice. Tsk tsk.

 

[Moonbear]

Moonbear, you're such a disappointer. Teasing himlike that, its just not nice. Tsk tsk.

Um, it wasn't teasing, it was foreplay. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

 

[Evo]

I also enjoy Dostoevsky.

Foreplay implies you had...relations...withhim afterwards. Is this one of your dirty stories tribdog keeps alluding to?

 

[franznietzsche]

Is it too much to hope that there is a younger version of you around my age somewhere?

 

[Math Is Hard]

This thread is swinging wildly between erudite and titillating!

but those are the two best parts of life!

Really the only parts worth themselves for their own sake.

 

[Moonbear]

Yeah, no point in throwing me into the volcano. I can't satisfy that virginity requirement the volcano gods have. Sorry to disappoint.

 

[Moonbear]

Yeah, pretty funny.

 

[franznietzsche]

Damn, i guess we'll just have to keep ya...dang it...


But we can still throw Saint in!

 

[Evo]

We found an open minded volcano god, he'll take whatever he can get.

Well, I'll let the erudite discussion take over. I'm heading to bed (to sleep that is).

 

[Evo]

Is it too much to hope that there is a younger version of you around my age somewhere?

Yes, I'm afraid it is. I was a bookworm, a weird bookworm.

 

[franznietzsche]

Yes, I'm afraid it is. I was a bookworm, a weird bookworm.

Damn, you got me all hopeful that maybe there were girls out there with interesting things to say that did not involve 'The OC' and the Americaninvention of yoga... I'm so disenchanted right now.

 

[Evo]

Ok, there is a probability that there is one girl your age out there like me. Now you have hope.

 

[franznietzsche]

Ok, there is a probability that there is one girl your age out there like me. Now you have hope.

Clever Evo, but not clever enough. A probability, but not necessarily a significant or even nonzero probability.

Come on now, I read Kafka, you didn't reallythink i would fall for that, did you?

 

[Evo]

I know, it was a lame attempt to give you hope.

 

[franznietzsche]

Downright cruel. No hope is better than false hope, no matter what they say. I'd rather be Gregor than Grete.

 

[Integral]

Well, as noted by Les in the first post, my name is pretty self explanatory. An interesting side note, pertaining to my infamous spelling abilities, I was initially Intergral, thankfully, after I realized the error, Greg fixed it for me!

A final, but unimplimented part of the initial scheme, was to always sign off with "That Sums it up".

 

[franznietzsche]

That is really corny, and yetstill entertaining. Althoughit would ahve lost its humour after a while.

 

[Math Is Hard]

I was initially Intergral ...

What's wrong with that? That's how our president pronounces it.

That was close. One more detail and it would all have been given away. At least you didn't mention the assistants...

 

[Integral]

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.

 

[Les Sleeth]

I also enjoy Dostoevsky.

Yeah, two of my favorite books are Crime and Punishment and The Idiot.

Hey, as moderator I think you should PM Boulderhead and tell him to get his story out or you are making one up for him involving the moon and drunken bears . . .
