A psychology major?! AH! Just what I need right now! Perhaps you could assist me in the diagnosis and treatment of someone? I will gladly give you my email addy or a screen name. I'm on Yahoo!, MSN, and AIM. I do enjoy discussing psychology and philosophy often as well if you're interested.
A title....could I be the tea-maker? I am American, but I do make a very good pot of smiley - tea. I learned how to in "The Salmon of Doubt". Ever since reading that passage written by Adams on how to make proper tea, I've been a changed woman!
So, how about The Mad Tea Maker?
And, in case you are wondering, Oracle, I have left my old forum in lieu of hootoo, so I thought I'd join some societies, cults, clubs, etc. It keeps me busy and out of trouble.

Ah, right. Sorry about that, I'm to sober for that right now. I'm at school, wich is a 'squiddly-squatch' only zone.

Squidly-squatch is an organ that produces something that has similar effects as alcohol. It means you act drunk when you're not.

Wasn't that squidly-squatch thing on Invader Zim... or maybe that was a squidly-spooch... I dunno... but it was a really disgusting episode... lots of entrails everywhere (I think thats one of the reasons they took that cartoon off of Nickelodion - sad though, it was a hillarious show)... good thing a computer genius friend of mine put the whole first season on my computer. smiley - ok

Ah, philosophy.....a word on philosophy.....

'Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!'

I was just looking at your Space, Madman. You say, "So, the new plan is to take accounting and move to Ohio." Sounds like a couple of safe choices to me! I'm considering making a move to Ohio myself in a few years. That place is gonna be chock-full of Thingites! smiley - winkeye

Really? Where do you live now? And what part of Ohio do you plan to move to? I'm quite fond of St Clairsville.

Squiddly-squatch is indeed derived from the IUnvader Zim 'spleenery-sqootch'. Although I haven't seen that particular episode, a friend of mine has, and he was slightly confused at the time.

Oooo Irish guys have sexy accents... so I don't have anything against you joining, Captain LeRue... but its really not up to me... you'll have to ask Clive so he can Gabble you in and get you your very own smiley - spork ... Until then, have some smiley - coffee

Too bad about the Ostrich attack... I was bitten by a squirrell once (but I was feeding him peanuts off a payday candy bar at the time)...

And you know what... thats a really good question about the "T" word...

Well it's a bit difficult to mount a campaign to replace something with something else without mentioning the thing that you want to be replaced, innit? Otherwise if we said well there's something that we think is really horrid and we think it should in future be called Boris, it would be a bit difficult for anyone to know whether they agreed because you hadn't actually mentioned what it was that had the nasty name but now want to call Boris. Innit?
And anyway Boris the Wonder Llama doesn't really sound right.
