For extra "credit", if he recreates the article about Norman Technologies (T-H-L-K-D), I'm going to dress in a badger suit for him.

I should have guys and gals, huh? Shouldn't be so male-centric. Sorry about that.

I can't believe how utterly inert the Wikipedia Review community is being in this Graffiti4Hire AfD vote. We've had one regular chime in (hi, Alison), and she voted wrong.

That's not how you make steam come out of Wikipedians' ears -- especially the ones with "Say No to Flagged Revisions" banners on their User pages.

Do we even have a voting bloc here, or not?

If anyone wants an example of a consensus forming around "Keep", then an admin coming in and doing whatever the f*ck he wants, here you go.

Wow, despite the keep comments 5-2 it ended up deleted. I suspect if "thekohser"s name hadn't been mentioned the result may have been the other way.

You confuse gender with species. Horses are not guys or gals -- they are colts/stallions or fillies/mares.

Ah, Academic Decathlon. Wow, that was a while ago. Going to State was a lot of fun. There's also this. Oh, and here's the results for State. I got a 997 out of 1000 for Interview and I only got a bronze. hrmph.gif God, I hated A track. I wish I was a C student, since the C track would have been ridiculously easier. Not to mention that my two teammates were Seniors and the Valedictorian and Salutatorian of their class. Hard to compete with them.

Oh, there's also this scholarship, but I never used it.

I forgot about this. Heh, almost all of those answers were BS, practically, especially the "Who would you like to meet" question.

Hmm...I think that's everything for now.

Jeez, SS, you're a really smart kid. Why don't you use those smarts to make yourself a career that actually remunerates you?
(Instead of giving Jimbo's Nut Squad all that free labor, of course.)

I can see your first pharmacological product now:

Furricil - used to stimulate fur growth. It is most effective for people under 25 years of age with scant dating history.
