At least Thursty's raining his scorn on posters other than me today.

All I have to do is use some form of the word "basic" for it to be considered scorn?

Is that basically what you're saying?

I probably should have used the word "basic" when I explained the River Song thing the other day.

It's actually specific word combinations that give sentences their particular meaning, Thursty, but then you already knew that.

If you'd like, I could start asking everybody on the boards to explain everything to me.  I'd expect no less than for you all to get me back but good.

It's basic manners.

Also, I held up a basic middle finger, pointed it southward, and whispered "this one's for you, Goits".

If we'd been in the same room, you could have mumbled something softly while showing me a downturned middle finger.  When I asked you what you were saying, you could say, "Can't hear me?  Maybe I ought to TURN IT UP!"  

Right after you'd said "TURN IT UP," you'd have rotated your arm so that your downturned middle finger would become an upturned middle finger.  I can see it in my mind, and it's beautiful.

 What do arachnids have to do with AIDS? I'd understand if we were talking about generic STDs because arachnids have quite a lot to do with that.

 Goiter, I'm not offended by your use of the term 'basic.' I am already aware of the fact that I lack basic common sense. Doctor Who also lacks basic common sense, quite frequently. It's the plight of those of us w/a higher intelligence. We are basically quite stuipid.

Also, there's no fucking way I'm googling 'scorpion sex.'

In theory, we can google the answer to any question we have. If we were to all take this route then nearly all of the threads on this board would be of little point. The internet has rendered discourse absurd. Why talk? Why ask another human anything? All inquiries should be like the sex life of a nerdy teenager - a lonely but informative quest involving a hand, a computer and google search. 

I Google "scorpion sex" five or six times an hour.  You never know when something new might pop up.

By the way (as opposed to BTW), I didn't do this for me. I did it for Jack, and I did it for Mal. And I did it for cruelty.

It really only matters that you did it for Jack.

I can't decide if your google habits makes Atrejub lucky in the bedroom or not.... I imagine scorpion sex is quite wild... also possibly quite scary.

Just assume that atrejub is on the losing end of any scenario you can possibly imagine.

 Think about all the things a guy can do with 8 arms!

Atrejub does.

 I think jubbers is thinking of all the things she could do with eight arms (since the nuptials, her arms are apparently too tired to do any typing).

It's fairly typical for girls who get married to never post on the boards again. So far we're 100% with Natalie and jubbers.

(obviously gals who were already married prior to joining the board are a separate control set)

Maybe it started as a play on the word "crabs," and then the marketing executives decided that crabs weren't scary enough, and so decided to look for other multi-legged animals.

I've continued to tally Thursty's B.O. on a weekly basis.

I know I've been rather absent - I've been busy with school, and with getting the fall straightened out (up until last week, we had no idea where we were going to be. Now we do. We will be in Munich, which will put us within visiting distance of Dalty. I hope he has enough time to get his guest mansion ready.)

Just in case anybody was wondering, Eight Arms to Hold You was the working title of Help!

Thirty years later, Veruca Salt would borrow the title for an album of theirs.

With a name like Veruca Salt, it should be clear they were no strangers to borrowing.

I wouldn't repeat this too often, Scarlet. I have noticed its occurrence in other threads. You don't want to become remembered for a constantly repeated, slowly-becoming-annoying Corona meme, like Jakester's lust for Kah, Goiter's Horso, etc.

It's a personal annoyance of mine, probably the result of being in graduate school. There are too many people constantly praising their own supposed intelligence. It seems that the more it is mentioned, the more insecure the person is with their own intelligence. Intelligence is the sort of thing that is best demonstrated and put to use, but not remarked on or pointed out or measured with arbitrary tests/numbers. This is not meant as a jab at your intelligence - I don't know you personally and have not spent real-world time with you, and thus am incapable of judging your particular intellectual ability. (The internet, I think, often does not provide a real picture of people, for most characteristics. I assure you that Goiter IS funny in real life.) I encounter so many of my fellow graduate students trying to reassure me of their intelligence on a daily basis (which I recognize could just be an unconscious expression of their insecurities), that I would rather not have to encounter it here, in this great sanctum away from the real world, as well.

I assure you, Jubbers, that I did not intend to impugn your efforts on the board; I tried desperately to find a video of one of the handjob scenes from 'Animal House' to go with my last post (I particularly wanted the dialogue, "Is it supposed to be this soft?"), but I failed us all.

I really need to watch that movie. They make a big deal about it here since Harold Ramis went to Wash. U. (it is mentioned during the tour, as they go past the fraternity houses). We step on his name from time to time walking along the Delmar Loop.

You step on his name.

I accord it its proper reverence by circumnavigating it completely.

Sometimes I leave it a single orange rose.
