I figure if I'm going to have a Blog, I get to make the rules.
So, here are the rules.
- Rule #0
- You must follow the rules.
Sometimes I will follow the rules too, but that's not one of my rules.
(Why #0? See Rule #3) - Rule #1
- Tone. Let's keep it light. As much as possible anyway.
Cancer is not funny, but it's much easier to get through it (and to get through life in general) if we can all have a sense of humor (which may, in my case, include sarcasm!).
Don't have one? Try amazon. - Rule #2
- Anonymous. I'm trying to keep this anonymous, and not name anyone who isn't already famous. So all comments may be made without any sign-in whatsoever. Please try to follow this rule as well, for the sake of others if not yourself. If you really do want to identify yourself, I suggest using either just your first name and last initial, or use the pseudonym-acronyms. But I WONT be moderating your comments (I expect to have other things to do), so it's up to you.
Perhaps I'm too paranoid, but I'm told that beats three noids of a kind.
And, BTW, if you think you are famous and you are still referred to by a pseudonym-acronym, I'm sure you can find another blog to deal with your 'issue'. - Rule #3
- The G word. One day, I went to my parents and told them "It's time I came out of the TARDIS. I'm a Geek." They said "We know. We've always known. We love you anyway."
You too can be a geek. It's ok. If you see too many obscure references, go read / watch Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Lord of the Rings, Monty Python, The Princess Bride, Star Trek, Star Wars, Young Frankenstein, et al ad infitnitem. (n.b. previous list shown in alphabetical order to eliminate possibility of favouritism and prevent global-thermonuclear-geek-flame-war.)
When you can contribute your own obscurities, grasshopper, you will finally be ready to admit to your inner-geek. - Rule #4
- No Adult content. No more 'splanation required. End of 'scussion!
- Rule #5
- If you have particular views on religion, spirtualism, psychic powers, no-traditional medicines etc., that's fine, and I really honestly appreciate that from your point of view this may help you (and perhaps me). So good wishes stemming from your beliefs are alright, but as I am not of the faith (any one you'd like to mention), I don't want to get into debates about 'do this, follow that', etc.
- Rule #6
- There is no Rule #6.
- Rule #7
- Topics can be anything I like. (See Rule #0)
Frequency will be whatever I can manage.
Diversions may happen. Diversions of diversions may happen. - Rule #8
- All rules are subject to change at any time at my sole discretion, except Rule #8.
I have to say that it is much more froody to be a 58 percenter than either a 1 or a 99 percenter (as the case may be). Keep at it. SIB2
ReplyDeleteFroody? 'splain SIB2

You have to read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for 'splanation. I guess my prior comment did go through after all. Maybe I am not just another useless bloody loony.
DeleteIt's a Zaphod kind of thing.
DeleteAdjective- To be like a frood (to be really amazingly together).
My aging brain has little memory for HGG, though the number 64 provokes a twinge.
DeletePerhaps a reread is in order.
64 is meaningless. You mean 42. Get reading!

I'm sure it has meaning for someone, maybe Maxwell Smart?
DeleteAhem - Maxwell Smart is Agent 86
ReplyDeleteGEEK POINT
WRKAH
You see the unenlightened environment in which I rew up?
DeleteYes, and Barbara Feldon was Agent 99, or was 99 an ice cream cone with a chocolate flake? And besides, what number was Hymie, and I dont mean the superhuman dog at whose shrine Marcus regularly visits in hopes of one day actually delivering hearing so that he can come running from points unknown at the mere suggestion that there may be cheese served.
DeleteHymie was originally a KAOS agent sent to infiltrate CONTROL (which is not an acronym even though it's always spelt in cap's as if it were one). When he started he was introduced as Agent 91.
DeleteAs a side note (and for extra geek points) Fang was Agent K-13 although I always thought K-9 would have been more appropriate (even though Dr. Who got there eventually).
WRKAH (from the 'hood)
You obviously outgeek me by a mile.....Technetium 99 is as good a superhero name as any.
ReplyDeletePlease enlighten me on WRKAH Master, I have much to learn.
