General Laughter Agreement
Also known as your general postulate. A broken piece of fine vinyl, that's what I've become. No more laughter (or shortcuts) will be allowed; the internet has become a far too dark and increasingly intimidating force for to do business with. Way back when, just after the Kaypro era, but before the Pentium era, nerds and RPG fans (one in the same?) everywhere where experiencing first time sexual feelings at the mere thought of such a system. Anonymous insults and trickery ran rampant in a virtual environment. Nobody could deny the potential. Not even I, as I produced a "sex-pic finder" and received thousands of emails daily from people in search of "lesbian sex." Yes, people are generally that lame. If I was utilizing such a finder, I would search for something not so run-of-the-mill, like amputee puke fetish for example. For several years, an imaginary world controlled certain peoples' lives at the public library where they could participate in all-text realms where they could unleash their true being as a wizard. No longer being a hero in a 15 year old outcast's body was pure human liberty. Well, times have changed my friend(s). The romanticism is gone, and so are the days of pure creativity. Now the only real creativity stems from the trickery of traditional corporate manipulation and die-hard schemesters looking to get your credit card number. You are partially to blame. Think about that for a moment, as you browse the online strip-mall using multiple browsers, looking for the best price on a new palm pilot. Where have you gone Mr. Gimmelson... where have you gone?

sure, mr. smarty-pants, what you say is true... all true. BUT, what would you say if i told you that just a few short hours ago i used multiple browsers to search across several sites for the best price not on a palm pilot but on a person. that's right, i just bought a person over the internet. it's a tall young man from kenya named dai'f (i'll just be calling him "jeff," i guess). i'd rather not say how much i ended up spending for him, because it took hours of research to find a decent price; let's just say it was less than what i paid last time.
he won't actually be coming to my house or anything. just that i own him. can issue him commands from afar, etc. "sweep up that pile of broken glass, jeff!"
as far as online trickery is concerned, some things never get old. i think we've reached a whole new level of trickery on the internet. did you hear about the kids who were supposedly gonna shoot up their schoolmates on 4/20, but didn't, because they got caught based on their posting to their myspace page? wooops. hey guys, ever hear of a little thing called the motherfucking government?! cuz they're all OVER that shit!
if you think that prodigy et al were giant opportunities for online personality fraud etc back in the golden era (silver era, maybe), imagine the possiblities that kids these days have! have you ever gone to myspace? it's like facebook, or friendster, except worse. search for my page! it's called "zelda's opium den," and it's got a tranny goth vibe. Check out http://www.mydeathspace.com/directory.aspx>this site for dead myspace folks! For example,the black guy from the movie "Kids" recently died of a cocaine OD (this would be one example of true irony, alanis morrisette)! He has myspace page! "Had," i mean.
i obviously fucked that tag up and so on. copy and paste, for god's sake! it's worth it. i have no idea how to go back and edit a comment. this is why i fear posting on here...
All I know is a guy named Jeff Barnes died from falling off a cliff; the only way anybody with our namesake could hope to go. Sorry Jeff, but maybe next time think twice about wearing clogs in the mountain passes.
This is how I got endorsed:

They should let me know before they endorse me and make 10 people vote for me.
they didn't let you know because they're PRO lots of things. i like that a lot... i'm pro-pro, it turns out. they are pro-you, as were 10 others i guess. i think it's fucking cool that you won on a write-in, but i understand not wanting to do it. but it might be kinda fun, being one of the few grad students in their meetings. you have wisdom +3 due to the grad student status, don't you know. intelligence +1 if you wear facial hair during the meetings, too.
