puff, puff, give
ok so its been awhile since i've posted any activities. its been a little theoretical lately. so i'm gonna bring back some event reports.
two frandsens: one is a poser...did you know you can use physics to melt ear wax out of your head with conical wafer-looking tubes? i didn't either and i'm still not sure if its true. as my intuitive and almost genius cousin commented, we will never know unitl we can run a true control test with reproducible results. so for those of you that still have access to ear wax burning/melting cones, try a dry test run for us and please let us at the shake-down know how it turns out.
to say the least, its pretty funny to hold that thing up on your ear while the flame glows bright in the eyes of those watching you, because lets be honest, you can't see anything. you can definately feel the flame heating up the side of your face and the intesity of interest and the flame glowing the the eyes of the observers, wondering if the assisant (KD is this case) will be able to cut the cone before your hair is all ablazed, but you have no idea what's going on so close to your own skull and its accessories.
and what would we all do without good friends? especially the ones who watch the fire around our heads. cheers to you KD and marcy marc...
and y'all should be happy i don't have pictures of the results of the activity, for they not for the lite-hearted.

Stevey: you are brilliant.
Petey: that has got to be one of the weirdest, most ridiculous activities to waste your time on, but I am glad that it at least gave you something to write about. On the other hand, knowledge of the human body and its functions probably began because someone wanted to know what happened... the end result of the curiosity was probably not ideal at first but look at where we are now. Keep on burning that ear wax.

brilliant?? are we over-using this word?
i agree stevey is, but lets keep the brilliant awards to those things truly praiseworthy.
brilliant has become a watered-down version of uber, the theme song for all self-proclaimed intellectuals.
my plea to all = stop saying brilliant. stop saying uber.

nice peter. at least you've jumped off the bandwagon...

Geez... fine... not brilliant. Neither one of you are brilliant or clever or sharp, profound, penetrating, outstanding, bright, intellectual, genius, knowledgeable or quick. In fact, there is nothing about either one of you that really stands out at all. Better?

nikki: you are brilliant
stevey: you are also brilliant
petey: i love the word brilliant and use it only when appropriate and putting that thing in your ear is weird
stevey and petey: you're both posers
nikki, stevey and petey: i love you all Marta

liz: you are disallowed from ever posting on this web log again.
aimee: are you alive?

nikki: et tu, nikk-eh?

ladies_
no need to be offended, unless of course you are among the self-proclaimed brilliant proclaimers. there is also no need to quote scripture, but the guilty don't typically take the truth too well.
so if you feel the need to defend the slaughtering of a word like brilliant, you might want to record yourself talking for a day and listen to the play-back, you old blow-hard.
and i'm not saying to stop completely, there are instances that are totally appropriate, but if we prostitute the word, it will diminish in its ability to accurately characterized true brilliance. moderation is all i'm asking for.

if stevey and i are both accused of being posers and one of us can only tell lies and other one of us can only tell the truth, what one question would you ask us to find out who the real poser is??
(the answer will require some brilliance :P)
18/1/06 2:55 PM
petey, i would ask you to tell me what stevey would say if i asked him if he were the poser...
if you said that he would say YES then you are the poser...
because if you always lied then stevey wouldn't really say yes he would say no which would be true because he always tells the truth
BUT if you always told the truth then stevey really would say yes but then he would be telling a lie because he always lies - brilliant!

Liz: that was truly magnificent. Well done.
18/1/06 4:15 PM
nice try liz.
that's a valiant effort, but who is the poser? you explained how you would get identical answers from each of us, but yet failed to determine who the poser is...
and please don't use brilliant to describe yourself (even if you are). you are providing all the evidence i need against self-proclaimed intellectuals that sit around and tell each other how brilliant they all are
18/1/06 4:20 PM
liz: do you not know what disallowed means?
nikki: no agreeing with liz.
petey: truth? what is truth? what is a lie?

stevey_
i know you ALMOST majored in philosophy, but this is not that. nor is that this. its just a riddle. and i'm still waiting for the intellect to solve it.

the love of wisdom, petey1
18/1/06 9:11 PM
stevey: what falsely conceived notions do you have of me that would cause you to believe i would adhere to your disallowment
petey: i don't understand the question and i won't respond to it
(but clearly the poser is you)

stephen,
I am alive. Am I allowed to post?? I don't know if I am brilliant enough to keep up with ya'all.
I know this is related to an old post but for the record I just want you to know that I like Nickel Creek and I was just surprised to read that coming from you. Your responses inspired a shuffle of Nickel Creek songs on Tuesday at work on the pod.
P.S. Peter is the poser.

its a riddle. there exists one question you could ask one of us that would allow you to find out who the poser is, but this whole riddle idea may be more ideal for an older crowd...
19/1/06 5:16 PM
Petey: That sad thing is that the ladies don't feel it necessary to ask any questions to ascertain the answer.
19/1/06 7:02 PM
aimee: good to have you back. good to hear you are a fan. i agree about peter.
liz: when you get on to post on this web log, who turns on the computer for you? do one of your roomates type in the web address in the browser (you do know what a browser is, don't you?)
ps www = world wide web.
pps right now peter and i are watching the oc.

oh the decadence

Are you talking about "poser" or "poseur"? Look it up in the dictionary. These definitions create difficulty in choosing. Or both of you fit both categories.
