xkcd vs. MATT

If you actively like xkcd then I can never respect anything you have to say about anything.

(should have been the title for this thread. all the matt stuff turned out to be a red herring.)

well blame my lame-but-obscure sense of humour. and my rampant emo-nerdism.

It's generally a sensible precaution never to respect anything I say about anything ever.

^^^realest of talk

It's true, but it's not that funny.

PS I also like dinosaur comics.

so sue me.

uggh seriously dude??

He writes the date funny like britishers.

Nah, we do it the other way round, that is the way that scandinavians and geeks use. (Write the date in that order and computers can sort things by date in numerical sorts)

lol, i don't know much apparently.

A summary of the international standard date and time notation

lol the cheque is for two-tenths of a cent. kill me.

(if that's wrong then it's because i'm drunk)

gosh i just spent five minutes trying to remind myself how to do sums to infinity before realising how drastically not worth it this was

i would imagine the gag is that it adds up to two cents, not sure what the middle glyph is in the e^((some thing)(pi)), the last bit is the sum of 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.125 etc

or, lol high school math

e^iπ = -1 (Euler's Equation)

sum to infinity = first term/1 - ratio = (1/2)/(1 - 1/2) = 1 in this case

XKCD is for those of us who realize life is not all about happy endings and trophy wives and who is better than who and all that shit.

so he's admitting that its for 14 year olds?

Geohashing, because geocaching wasn't nerdy enough.

Hey guys. I've got this great idea. Let's go meet up in the middle of some random farm and play board games!

He can find all those co-ordinates on a map, yet he still can't locate a decent hairdresser or a gym. A real tragedy.

Come on, that SUV one is worth a snicker.

He could have done without either the caption or the last panel

Also I love how he specifies 'light' bondage so it seems feasible that he's getting some but no one outs him as a freak

he could have gone without lying about the whole goddam deal

Oh yeah and the whole 'not our fault' pseudo-irony thing is fucking annoying

xpost yeah "my hobby" indeed

he could have gone without lying about the whole goddam deal

??

the girlfriend he doesn't have that isn't into bondage light or otherwise that he didn't fuck on the camping trip he didn't go on stfu you lying fucking nerd with the shittiest comic ever

Uh, I don't see where it says "this is autobiographical". There's plenty of shit in that comic that clearly isn't.

xkcd apologist!

Naah, I just don't like it when people ascribe all kinds of stuff to something just because they dislike it, rather than because it's really there. That said, I don't have a problem with xkcd; there are so many things far more deserving of annihilation.

[05:22am]feureau:Awesome!!! To the blagmobile!

The fact that people still use IRC chatrooms in 2008 really creeps me out.

ILX is like IRC but laggier.

what the fuck

it is good that there will be a book, and with any luck the spine will be identifiable from at least 15 feet away, so you can leave politely

rpm:<rpm> and then plant explosives in the framework of the building where the new people won't notice. That's basically how I orchestrated 9/11.

Frowardd:<rpm> I fantasize about being British. The closest I've gotten is extended my pinky when I masturbate.

rpm:<rpm> I have a webcomic.

Frowardd:<rpm> I donate hi-tension hunting bows to orphanages

Frowardd:<rpm> I miss working a desk job. It was fun to sneak up on female co-workers and stuff their hair down my pants.

Frowardd:<rpm> I'm not sure who I'm going to vote for in November. I don't really agree with McCain's economic policies, but then again I can probably overlook quibbles about taxes in favour of getting a real American in office. It's about time people that look like me and you regained this country.

Frowardd:<rpm> Some days I brought in a paperback so I could chat her up while I stood behind her.

Frowardd:<rpm> Heidi in Marketing must've been homeschooled, she had hair past her ass.
