Snacks On A Plane?!!?

Brandon Harper — Fri, 11 Aug 2006 08:25:07 +0000

After many obsessive discussions with my co-workers earlier this year about Snakes On A Plane, I decided to purchase the snacksonaplane.net domain in April. Recent events finally gave me a good reason to use it to create a Snacks On A Plane?!!? poster. Note: the f-bomb is used.

MIT Hacks: Super Mario Brothers

Ahh, how I wish I were geeky/elite enough for MIT sometimes– I love reading/seeing all of the pranks that happen there. The latest one turned a hall into a level of Super Mario Brothers.

The 10 Geekiest Hobbies

Brandon Harper — Sun, 24 Oct 2004 10:14:40 +0000

I just found a site which has has a list of the ten geekiest hobbies, and I’m proud to say I don’t partake in any of them. About as close as I get is owning the first of the Cowboy Bebop videos (and that still would not really even qualify as a “comic book”). Ironically, this list is very similar to a line item in my personal “do never date” list (of which I’ve learned the hard way)…

I used to work with someone who was into the live action role playing poo, and half of the conversations with said person as a follow-up of something I said started off with “Oh, that reminds me of this game I was in once…” I’m still not convinced that reality is bad enough to have to resort to doing the LARP’ing, plushies, etc. Then again, I claim to be at least somewhat sane and rational from time to time.

Update 10/26/2004:

Just thought I’d throw in a little IM convo Matty and I had about the matter:

[09:24] Brandon: Nothing like geeks making sound effects and casting spells on each other, “throwing lightning bolts”, and battling it out with “sabers”
[09:25] Matt: yeah
[09:25] Matt: buying official Braveheart swords
[09:26] Matt: “It’s only 300 bucks!”
[09:26] Brandon: “Dude, I have the same fucking sword that Aragon used!!!!!!”
[09:28] Matt: “Lets go out in the field and fight! Then we can finger eachother in the ass!”
[09:30] Brandon: “Then we can play Magic.. I totally spent ALL week building the coolest deck. Prepare to die you shew!”
[09:32] Matt: “My troll is a level 7 warrior ORC! He’s got a life shield AND a glowing sword”
[09:32] Brandon: lol, nice.
[09:33] Matt:
[09:36] Brandon: “You only THOUGHT you took my knight! I have the cyclone modifier for negative 2 points damage, my balrog moves over to take on your jolly troll for 4 points of damage, and then eats him for 2 points! Now you have to crown my knight with the sword of fury!”
[09:37] Brandon: “Who’s the level 1 warrior over there without the sword of fury? Oh right, that’s you!”
[09:37] Matt: hahaha
[09:37] Matt: WOW

Just Google It!

For those times when you get tired of telling someone to look things up on Google before asking you questions… fucking Google it before you bother me!

Tim’s Chemistry Exam

I still can’t quite fathom the motivation for this (college classes are too expensive to screw around!), but there are still a few funny bits from Tim’s Chemistry Exam.

Q: What features of the above molecules makes them structural isomers?

A: Their arms, legs, and skin colour.
