"G'day."
| |
Hello all you happy people. I've been lurking here since the forum opened, but until today, I haven't thought of anything to say. Or maybe my judgment is impaired by hunger, and I really don't have anything worth saying. Who cares? I'm the Typical College Student Fanboy (tm). I was introduced to Eyrie by having eighty-odd pages of fanfold dropped into my lap from behind in the third quarter of my freshman year. My grades have been dropping steadily ever since. Despite this doubtedly unrelated coincidence, I've been foisting these masterpieces off on everyone I believe needs them, and all my good friends besides. Eyrie is largely responsible for changing me from a farmboy freshman to the vaguely cultured and savvy person I am today. Every time something is referenced, that's the next thing I go absorb. I admit, I already had a weak sf/anime base to start from, and there's more to getting me to take something seriously than reading about it, but you guys definitely deserve a lot of credit for effecting my growing-up. Alas, my own meagre creative talents are taken up wholly by the raging case of philosophy I caught from a roommate a few years ago. I can expound my theories of relative reality levels with a decent degree of convincingness, but get me to create something useful like literature or a computer program and you're in for painful disappointment. Despite lack of creativity, I am a talented tech drudge and can fix nigh anything. I'm easy to get along with so long as you're reasonably intelligent and openminded, but have some rather annoying prejudices. I dislike the stupid and the undead, for no better reason than that they irritate me. That's far more garrulity than I intended. It's nearly quitting time, and I get no lunch breaks, so I'll blame low blood sugar (a handy scapegoat) and call it an introduction. Mike Thedford

Um, are the undead frequently a problem where you're from? If so, please let me know where that is so I can avoid it in future travels. :)

Some days you can't stop at a traffic light without some gray-faced zombie slumping over the hood of your car and smearing up your windshield with fitful jerks of a filthy rag clutched in the skeletal remains of one rotting hand, then leaning down at your window and moaning, "Braaaaaaaains," in a pitiful mockery of a human voice. --G.

Sunnyvale's merely plagued with DDR zombies, and I don't live in the Bay Area any more anyways. *wg* Ard Sumhenner

>I think he means 45th St in Oakland... Actually, I was thinking more of the spot where Shattuck Ave. is one-way around that one block before it hits University in Berkeley. Or that intersection up in Hercules with the guy who had the sign with the stock prices on it. MICROSOFT ^ 1-3/4
AT&T ^ 2-7/8
SIGN GUY ^ $4.75
SINCE CLOSE OF TRADING YESTERDAY I'll say this for the East Bay; it's got creative panhandlers. (And honest ones, too. "Money for beer?" is a common pitch on Telegraph... ) --G.

>please let me know where that is so I can avoid it in future travels. We get them all the time around here. Usually come out mid-day, groaning and shuffling slowly towards the dining halls, every day except for maybe Tuesday and Wednesday. You can easily pick them out by the dopey grins and the lack of any remaining brains. PIRO: Dude, they're not zombies. They're frat boys. LARGO: There's a difference?

>LARGO: There's a difference? Heh. Sorority girls pretty much fit the same bill. They seem to all beling together into one mob. People of both genders are often refered to as 'clones' by my friends. --Chris "What is the difference between a fighter and a warrior?"
