I guest posted

... And that is why I avoid large crowds, am afraid of the zombie apocalypse, and wanted in three states.

  • 47. Often, without intending to, I misprounounce "Hyperbole" as "hyper-bole". It's my greatest shame. Well, that, and the multiple felonies I've commited.

The continuation of "Less Common Nerd pass times" will occur on a later day. I guest posted in my friend's blog (http://www.pixcapacitor.com/) today, and so that's my post for the day.

Yeah, that's right. The 'guest post' (where I post as Steve) is actually just quotes from the NSS' used in this blog.

So instead of posting in a blog, I'm bringing you a "best of" from this blog that I posted in another blog, and linking to it.

What a round-about way to avoid doing any work on my own blog.

Minor post of boredom

  • 11. I watch DVDs with commentary quite regularly. I watch RENTED DVDs with commentary.

... So there I was, holding the precious solid gold incan idol in one hand clutched tightly to my chest, whip in my other lashing out onto a conveniently placed outcropping in the wall over the bottomless pit swinging over the pit while an enormous boulder rolled down the narrow passageway behind me. All I could think to myself was "What the hell!? This is supposed to be a romantic comedy!"

... But since it turned out the guy was already dead BEFORE I dropped the viola, the murder charges were dropped and I was instead accused of desecrating a body. Man, it's a good thing they didn't do a rape kit on the guy.

... And so that's the story of how I defeated the evil A.I. Ok, I admit, a photocopier with a hatred of the human race isn't that deadly, but the bitch of a machine gave me dozens of papercuts before I cleared tray six.

... And that's the story of how I invented the lemington. Ok, well I didn't INVENT the lemington, but I helped in bringing it to the Australian public. Ok, yes, well it was already really well known, but I helped it's publicity. Alright, alright, I didn't help it's publicity that much. Right, yes, well all I did was eat one rather then go on a date. Fine, you happy? Bitch.

So there I was

In honour of my mate Carlos leaving, I shall now make it a habit to put up nonsequitor story points on the blog.

What's an NSS? It is for when someone new joins a conversation, just for you to say out of nowhere to make him think he's missed part of the most awesome story ever. And so, here are some examples.

1. ... So there I was, around the middle of the line of people, starring off at the penguin tank in the distance, with somone else's pants around my ankles...

2. ... And then this absolutely ENORMOUS guy, nearly seven feet tall, more muscle then organs, walks up and asks me to dance....

3. ... And to this day I have no idea what happened to my hose, or why he thought a watermellon was a suitable "I'm sorry for what I did" gift.

Edit: Additional:

4. ... So there I was, clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, and I was stuck in the middle with this guy.

5. And I look up from pulling up my pants, and there's this little old asian lady grinning at me. And to this day I don't know if she was laughing at me, or laughing with me.

6. ... So what else could I do with him looming over me? I congratulated him on an excellent Optimus Prime costume and left.
