Re: Complicate the Person Above

 

Legend tells of a frat party of outstanding awesomeness that took place over a warm spring evening in days of yore. It is commonly attributed to tkdguy as the organiser.

As much as I'd like to take credit for that, the real mover and shaker was death tribble's evil twin, who never actually existed.

Death tribble is the evil duke in Thurber's The 13 Clocks, but for commercial sales reasons Thurber changed the name to one more commonly found in fantastical writing. He also changed the niece's name from Gillian to Saralinda.

Death tribble is under a restraining order not to distribute pamphlets extolling the virtues of phlogiston chemistry in Hyde Park. The pamphlet's five-word title of which "valence electron" make the 3rd and 4th and the other three words are unprintable, got him in hot water with the education establishment.

Cancer once got funding from the Department of Defence for a personal mobility device for troops to get into action' date=' ie a pogo stick.[/quote']

 

Dude, have you ever seen the damage done by a man with a broadsword mounted on a pogo stick? Utterly terrifying. The Pogo Stickers were an elite arm. The problem is that pogo sticks don't do NOE very well, so they suffered the same fate as horse cavalry in WW1: massed machine-gun fire slaughtered them.

 

Death tribble belonged to another now-obsolete elite arm: He was Regimental Sergeant Major for the King's Own Yorkshire Unicycle Lancers. From high ground, they were just death.

Death tribble formulated a fully rigorous refutation of Descartes' cogito ergo sum, but held back from publishing it at the last moment when he realized it would trigger the nonexistence of the Universe as we know it. Supposedly he published it anagrammatically, in the form "Hastur hastur hastur." No one has deciphered that yet, because he's been tight-lipped about what language the original is in.
