h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I don't know. What's the difference between Los Angeles and Yogurt?

In fact, I believe the Jedi YK used to have an age-obvious name. It was "Adolescent white american male who likes 47." Though this left a broad range for him.

Sea, I'm not saying that you have to run sound or lights to be a nerd, I'm just saying that's the kind of thing that a nerd does. How's this for a simpler definition: Geek: annoying person with a fairly high intelligence, but not associated with the popular crowd. Nerd: a person who has a fairly high intelligence, but isn't pedantic, has friends who like them just as friends, and does something constructive with their technocal knowledge.

Also, a geek who's made a few billion dollars with computers can qualify as a nerd.

But just for you infor Sea, I've had sound equipment experience for a few years at a church in Louisiana. That's my claim to offstage electronics.

okay, I see the difference between geek and nerd. I'm still a dilettante, though. Gates, unfortunately, does not qualify as geek because he does not fit the description of "a person of fairly high intelligence", but his IS rather annoying...

Corrupt, are you insinuating something?

Well, NYC, I *could* have flat-out said your name, but then I wouldn't have the pleasure of seeing amused outrage, an emotion I've only been able to define in the STUMPED forums.

And the difference between Los Angeles and yogurt is...yogurt has an active, living culture!

Hmmmm...what else can I complain about...?
Maybe my boring teachers and the resulting first quarter grades.
*ahem*

Case of boredom #1: World History. First period makes me snooze anyway, but this teacher is just plain BORING!!! Resulting grade: D. Expected reaction from parents: ...let's just say that D=Dead in my household.

And then there are the classes that I THOUGHT I was doing well in but have been horribly surprised to see that's not so.

Any further complaints from anyone?

it's all about what you like. When I had "Global Studies" (which is nothing but glorified propoganda; ask my chinese classmates), I had THE most boring character I knew. He talked in this monotone voice and slowly enough so that he could write what he said at the same time. I swear, you could hear the cacophony of walkmen and snores from the class. I slept for most of the period, and at the last 5 minutes, I just jotted down all the notes he put up on the board. Did I mention I'm in AP History now?

Nothing to worry about at the present.

I'm Happy - apart from the weather

And now we have a lot of smileys to like. >><

[sea] i see, KL. i didn't take offense to that, just so you know. and i do lights at my school's auditorium... that's why i asked. i was just curious.

New Smilies are old news, I was using them last night - Sea that last smiley was just for you . How about we adopt as the offical S.T.U.M.P.E.D. smiley ?

Happy

A good idea.

[sea] no me gusta! je le deteste! don't MAKE me scream about how much i hate clowns in several languages!

What Clowns ?

[Ancba gives HappyDude a baleful glare (He's rather good at these, you know)]

Happy, cease this foolishness immediately.

[sea] thank you, lord ancba.

You're welcome, Sea.

Sea do you remember what I am wearing under the bio-suit ?
If you peer through the tinted visor you might be able to make out some of my make up.

*NYC enters, finds Happy laughing, Ancba glaring, and sea in a very horrified manner*

sea? is this guy bothering you? I'll see to this...

*NYC whistles, and four oversized goons in heavy Italian accents come and brandish brass knuckles. One takes Happy, in his bio-suit and clown attire, by the neck and shoves him in his armpit. After a minute, Happy dislodges himself, looking a very pale green. The other three goons drag him off into a very dimly lit corner and beat the stuffing out of him*

*NYC grins. Sea presumably does the same*

Leave it to a New Yorker to bring in the Mafia......... and they respond like dogs too! You whistle and they come running, do you give them biscuits for thier good work or do they get some steak scraps?

Whoever said they were the mafia? Can't there just be some goons waiting around looking to make an easy buck?

...and besides, who WOULDN'T take up an offer to beat the stuffing out of Happydude?
