The People Above And Below You

[redsliver]

^ not really

< tends to science everything and therefore tests bad first impressions over and over to see if they're justified:

V would not learn the secrets of the magic lightning machine.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Should walk away from the magic lightning machine.

< Would have walked away.

V Would have tried it again.

[quamp]

^"Fool me once, shame on ye. Fool me twice, shame on me."

< Knows better than to get hurt twice.

< Thinks that's how Darwin awards start.

V Won't win a Darwin award.

[Guest echtrae]

^ knows the secret to winning a Darwin award

< doesn't intend to win a Darwin award because < would have found a guinea pig to operate the machine

v is thinking that is a wonderful idea

[redsliver]

^ very Nadreck, very respectable

< started rereading the Lensman series, may cite obscure references.

V has been warned.

[Guest Madapple]

^has given fair warning.

<is very curious.

<would like to see some of these obscure references.

V has no use for obscure anything.

[redsliver]

^ completely off the mark

< enjoys being the only one in on the joke.

V enjoys sending jokes over less intelligent persons' heads

[quamp]

^ Well, I send jokes out, but sometimes they miss their marks.

< Has done this sometimes with <'s obscure fandoms.

< Once made a reference about Forklift Driver Klaus that < thought was very funny, but nobody else got.

V Doesn't want to find out about Forklift Driver Klaus.

[Guest echtrae]

^ is correct

< has been referred to as Mr. Obscurity

v thinks that is a strange thing to trademark

[redsliver]

^ looking for royalty nickels

< hasn't yet had the Films Without Rhythm logo trademarked yet.

V has no logo.

[quamp]

^ Actually, I'm in the process of getting one.

< Getting a logo for the manga series I'm trying to get published.

V Thinks I don't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting it published.

[Guest echtrae]

^ is currently pursuing publication

< isn't currently pursuing publication

v is pursuing something other than publication

[redsliver]

^ accurate

< pursuing the end of <'s story

V has seen the end of a story and looked for more chapters to hold it off so V could continue writing

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is wrong...

< Would love to see the end of the tunnel I have currently written myself into.

V Has been stuck in a similar tunnel.

[Guest Alien Pirate Pixagi]

^Very, very correct.

<Really misses her laptop

vHates laptops.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is going through laptop withdrawl.

< Loves her laptop... as it is the only connection to the outside world < gets some days.

V Knows everyone needs time connected to the outside world.

[quamp]

^ Outside world? What's that?

< Walks to train station, rides train to work and back, walks home.

< Meets people that way. Not necessarily the best of people though.

V Thinks it's beneath his/her station to ride the bus.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Should know better.

< Doesn't drive and therefore must take the bus or train on a fairly regular basis... but doesn't like it all that much.

v Likes trains better than buses.

[quamp]

^ Likes trains and buses equally, which doesn't appear to be very much.

< Doesn't mind riding bus or train.

< Was expecting someone else to post previously.

V Is angry now.

[Guest echtrae]

^ is misguided

< is sort of mellow while listening to Anthrax

v is wondering how one can be mellow while listening to metal

[StoryJunkie]

^ obvious metal head, heavy drug user and worshiper of the Grateful Dead

< never listens to the lyrics.

V has to go to "Lyrics.com" to understand metal lyrics.

[redsliver]

^ only after my brother and I argue over what they're singing.

< right half of the time

V right all of the time for a given value of right.

[Guest echtrae]

^ provides a subjective value for the worth of right

< prefers following the path of honesty and truth, except when the opportunity for humor presents itself

v runs screaming into the night when presented with lies and deception

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Thinks < may have a phobia of lies and deception.

< Has no such phobia... in fact, < has a very well tuned bullshit detector.

V Hasn't tuned their bullshit detector in awhile.

[Leonhart29]

^ Is a lie detector

< Was brought up by a man who has a PHd in Bullshitology.

V Is now wondering where they teach that course
