One question I didn't see on the Engineering Nerd test or maybe this is just for the General Nerds out there, but...

What is the meaning of life?

If you know the answer that most nerds do then I think you should tack on 5 points to your score. I'll post the real answer tomorrow.

Well, it's been awhile since I've posted...just seeing how everyone is doing. I'm sure there are some that were happy with my little disappearance act i.e. Kelly or Wheatables, but then I bet there are some that are happy I'm back i.e. Brad Arthur (he rules!). Does anyone remember that great post I wrote a long time ago with me pretending to be a reporter for 20/20? I still to this day don't understand how you all thought that was horrible. Obviously not many people on here have dry senses of humor aka Mystery Science Theater 3000 or Curb Your Enthusiasm. MST3K is easily the driest sense of humor ever and it's absolutely hilarious. Long live Trumpy!

It's sad to have one nut ball in a large screw the rep of everyone else. *cough*ricky cates*cough*

And he's been executed. With over 10,0000 students graduating per year, you'll have some crazies that mess everything up.

Ahhh, my last post from "Somewhere not in Texas or not important" aka TCU. Interesting thought tho, sure TCU has a rapist at large at all times, but Texas A&M has had both a serial rapist and a guy wanted for murder, attempted rape,and indecent exposure to children profiled on Unsolved Mysteries. Today's show featured an attempted rape in Bryan by a former A&M student who turned out to be a murderer. Apparently in his earlier days of acting, Matthew McConaughey portrayed the guy who got shot... Anyone seen it?

my word of the day was:
lugubrious \lu-GOO-bree-uhs; -GYOO-\, adjective:
Mournful, often exaggeratedly or affectedly; woeful; gloomy

The Word of the Day for December 18 is:

edulcorate • \ih-DUL-kuh-rayt\ • (verb)
: to free from harshness (as of attitude) : soften

Example sentence:
Desperately in need of a loan, Martin used every trick he knew to cajole, flatter, and edulcorate his well-heeled but frugal Aunt Clara.

Did you know?
An old saying advises giving sweets to the sweet, but pragmatic types may feel it's better to use them to edulcorate the sour. "Edulcorate" has the ideal history for a "sweets-to-the-sour" term; it derives from the Latin root "dulcis," which means "sweet." It is often used in contexts that refer to sweetening up a sourpuss, either with something that is literally sweet (such as candy) or that is figuratively so (such as flattery). "Dulcis" is also the source for several terms related to soft, sweet music (such as "dulcet" and "dolce") and an instrument that produces it ("dulcimer").

This cates garboon is redonkulous.

If I lived in OK, I'd concentrate more on what sucked about my own state.

There are three things and okie hates about texas, but yet many other things he loves about texas but there are three things that are not liked about texas, rattle-snakes, tornadoes, heat.

Ah, yes, ok, last night I had a bunch of people over, and someone thought it would be funny to post under my name using their best Trent Lott imitation.

Oh come on Mr. Storm Chaser, were you too afraid to drive in the hail? Did you get scared? Someone get him his blanky, please... Or lend a tit for him to suck on

How could such a do do brain be an owner of a web-site? Not to metion one who know,s nothing about storm chasing. May a bolt of lightning strike your computer.

I thought this idiot was blocked from the site. Also I guess I didn't read what Wh99p wrote before it was taken down. Someone enlighten me please.

Dude,
He is one of the owners of this website. Shut the fuck up you "dago fob".

After getting pounded on by large hail, and being forced to pull of the road by micro burst today I come back to the board and find that a person with the handle of typing monkey whom is in college I believe and does not properly know how to spell. I figure he may be going to Bayler college.

There shan't be any dropping of the n-bomb on this board. If you are going to use racial slurs, use ones that are less common. I suggest tossing in a nice WOP or guinea.

wh99p:
I am not a racist and can still be against affirmative action.
Just something to think about...

whoop 99,
You hiding behind an alias?
You really need an ass whooping to get some of that built up anger out of your system. Posting at 2:23? What are you so mad about anyway?...because you are drunk and lonely..again?

indeed. for the love of god wh99p, you make all Ags sound like we did a backflip dismount off our sister so we could scurry off and plow the field. Have you no self preservation? To everyone else, please dont judge me by that idiot.

Uh, maybe a little late on this one. A&M mainly recruits in state because of Slocum, something near to his exact quote was, we have such great talent in the state, why should they go to any other state and conversely why would anyone leave thier home state to come here to play. thats his theory. And the number was more like 96 percent for last year, only 1 out of state recruit. Come to think of it, i can count the out-of-staters on our team with 2 hands. But then again, Texas is a major football breeding ground, why do you think the sooners(as well as other schools) come down here to feed off the teat that is Texas High School Football

hmmm...after i wrote that, i read what wh99p had to say...um....yeah, i don't think that is gonna be up too long.

i spent a quality night with my gf....some Cherry Garcia B&J for me, a Fat Tire for me, and i explained bike stuff to her. also watched a little TV and went to HEB. tomorrow's agenda: Christmas shopping for Mom. i hate doing that 'cause i never know what the hell to get. anyone got any ideas?

Kill me now.
