What's the best way to fill the existential void that is our life?

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Poll time at Emobore! :'(

the mythos beta, since a CERTAIN COMPANY is sitting on a CERTAIN ANNOUNCEMENT instead of COMPETING FOR MY ATTENTION

Marijuana and masturbation. Throw another "m" word in there to be all snappy and you can make it your motto!

Cant you just have aspirations and dreams? That's what keeps me going.

And I love to learn.

bawhawhahhawhahahaha

[Van Cruncheon]

what do you do in 20 years when you're a flunky working the stockroom at the local sam's club, foc?

and you love to learn? ironic, since you've learned so very little

[TVC15]

No all of the above except women option?  What kind of rigged polls are you running here?

[Howard Alan Treesong]

well, he said he loves to learn. not that he's any good at it.

[Mupepe]

I can honestly choose 'All of the above plus Mupepe' and not be lying.

[TVC15]

I don't see a ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRISTS FoC option.

[Van Cruncheon]

mary jane, masturbation, and mupepe!

[FlameOfCallandor]

very easy for me to get wrapped up in random articles on Wikipedia. It's fascinating. And contrary to yall’s opinion I am a very smart person.

[TVC15]

MUSLIMS!

And I love the use of "y'all" in a sentence about his SMARTITUDE!

[Van Cruncheon]

i actually 'd out loud and my wife said "oh jesus, i hope you aren't still talking about your behavior on the 4th"

[Mupepe]

i wish i could have seen you on the 4th.  We could have jammed some MB20 and chilled, bro.

Yall is everday language in Texas.

Tell me about your education, Mr. Elite

[Van Cruncheon]

two degrees -- english lit and computer science, with extensive addt'l master's work in cs. that's my formal ed, not counting the countless classes and training i've taken on the side.

[FlameOfCallandor]

 Impressive, but I am still only 22, so it's rare for someone my age to have been to grad school yet. It's definitely something I want to do, if I can afford it.

[Van Cruncheon]

i was in grad school at 22, tarheel. all of those credentials are superfluous, though, if your intellectual curiosity is so dim as to lead the sorts of posts you've made!

besides, don't you have me on ignore

[FlameOfCallandor]

Yea, you were in. Not completed.

[Smooth Groove]

two degrees -- english lit and computer science, with extensive addt'l master's work in cs. that's my formal ed, not counting the countless classes and training i've taken on the side.

So are you still working on the master's?  I know some fool who was in an elite University for a PH.D in Molecular Cell Biology.  He quit the program because he got mad that some guy from another U was already working on a similar thesis.  

By the way, what happend on the 4th?  Did you promise to plug all of your wife's orifices and then failed to do so because of all the booze you consumed?  

[Van Cruncheon]

a masters takes 1.5 years full-time, and 2-3 part-time. why does the time it takes matter, anyhow?

[Van Cruncheon]

no, i actually completed my thesis (on IPv6 routing compartment algorithms, SNORE), but my brother hooked me up with a job i couldn't pass up, plus i wanted out of the bumfuck midwest post-haste.  really, i was only pursuing a master's because what ELSE was there to do in norman, oklahoma?

[Smooth Groove]

knock up lots of easy blonde hicks?   

[Van Cruncheon]

i was married!

[TVC15]

was norman oklahoma named after norman lear?

[FlameOfCallandor]

Because you spend the majority of your time on the internet talking down to people you don’t even know. I guess you like trolling, I don’t know. But that act gets really old, especially when you keep calling me dumb. I don't have a master's degree, but I do have a B.S. from a great university and I was on the Dean's list. So stop with the holier-than-though act. If you want to be an elite asshole get back on gaf.

[Smooth Groove]

i was married!

You're supposed to run, not get married!  You don't need a Master's to know that. 

[Yeti]

I suppose this would be the wrong time to correct the spelling of "holier-than-thou".... 

[Mupepe]

What?  You got pics or video or something?  I wanna see!  or call me 832 445 4234

I saw that. I cant edit my post.

[Van Cruncheon]

the "majority" of my time? don't project, sigmund, because you aren't educated enough to presume. collectively, i spend maybe 2-3 hours a day on the internet, and usually less, given that i multitask like a mofo. right now i am reviewing api documentation -- and it's my day off! (i am also baking an awesome szechuan chicken, thanks to this forum's advice!)

degrees mean nothing when it comes to education and intelligence. i have friends who work in a best buy who are better read and have more thoughtful, well-argued opinions than you. you just happened to have parents who could send your stank yokel ass to college, whereas they did not, although they might've used their time more productively and in an intellectually challenging field.

at the risk of interjecting some actual discussion into this thread:

book-learning is ultimately meaningless. actual intelligence is displayed through actions and worth, not memorized knowledge. your behavior has been found repeatedly wanting. no number of framed pieces of paper will change that.

some of the smartest people I know haven't gotten around to finishing their GED. some of the dumbest people I know were in my creative writing courses at college.

[Mupepe]

there is nothing more intellectually challenging than Best Buy.

The pressure from the distinguished mentally-challenged filling the room is quite a challeng to resist

[Van Cruncheon]

dealing effectively with customers is a skill i covet in any employee. nothing teaches you to suck up your pride and do the right thing by the company like retail hell.

[Yeti]

speaking of books, where is that option on the poll?

[Van Cruncheon]

the only common attribute among the college-bound is parental access to wealth. fuck, if it hadn't been for OU's 5 year scholarship for nat'l merit fuckfaces, i'd be attending the local community college with the rest of my hick pals.

teaching surly 15-year-old boys in Japan was the best experience I could have for interacting with graphics programmers!

[TVC15]

Man, FoC ruined another thread.  This is supposed to be a sad bitching thread, and he pissed all over it.

This could be the premise for a hot series of pornographic films.

[FlameOfCallandor]

Patel and Drink, you are both right, life experience is alot of someone's character.

My point was that neither of you guys know anything about me yet find the need to laugh when I say that I like to learn.

[FlameOfCallandor]

Man, FoC ruined another thread.  This is supposed to be a sad bitching thread, and he pissed all over it.

WHAT THE FUCK?? I SAID I FUCKING LIKE TO LEARN. THAT WAS ALL I SAID!! THAT WAS MY CONTRIBUTION TO THIS THREAD YOU FUCKING distinguished mentally-challenged fellow. Then I get laughed at.

[Van Cruncheon]

and yet you act shocked when we judge you based on the content of your posts!

The Whores of XOR

FoC, you have shown time and again THROUGH YOUR POSTS that you are extremely close-minded and prejudiced. If you have some secret fount of worth as-yet unrevealed, it's showtime!

[Mupepe]

i love you guys.  TVC, hook me up with some pics from the 4th.

[FlameOfCallandor]

and yet you act shocked when we judge you based on the content of your posts!

No. You judge me based on your skewed assumptions. Not my posts.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

But our skewed assumptions are based on your posts! At least grant us that.

Yea? How so?

[Van Cruncheon]

then why do we ALL come to the same conclusions based on your posts, you self-deluded pink?

[FlameOfCallandor]

then why do we ALL come to the same conclusions based on your posts, you self-deluded pink?

You don't. ususally your conclusion is "This guy has a different opinion than me. He's tEh Dumb" Then everyone agrees becuase I'm not popular here.

[TVC15]

This is fucking turning into the weekly FoC argument that we have all the bloody time.  Next he's going to ask for evidence, someone will provide it, then he will ask who these GOOD muslims are and why aren't they covered in US media.  Just ban him!  WE HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE.  He is threadshitting.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

I dunno, maybe if you spent as much time reading and actually processing what we say in your masturbatory neo-con fantasy threads as you do random wikipedia articles you'd have some idea where we're coming from.

Being a close-minded twat who ruins everything he touches.

That deserves a honorary PH.D.  

What did you major in, FOC?  Dean's List means shit if you had a non-science major.  It's pretty hard not to get As in non-science classes if you put enough effort into it.  Besides, not only is Prole obviously smarter than you, his credentials are still superior to you right now.  The fact that PROLE can get degrees in two fields that require very different intellectual skills already prove that he has an above average intelligence.  OTOH, degree or not, your posts pull down the average IQ here by 20 pts.  So, STFU.
