Yeah, the implication that Ray is about to take his Higher Education up the butt is sort of precious, in a weird way. Beef protesting in the dream sequence makes it just that much better.

Also, I think I've had this conversation with people, as Teodor: asking a simple question with slight jargon and getting "whoaaa, don't blind me with your SCIENCE!" in response. Grrr, bah. It's your own fault for saying something as dumb as steak and spaghetti being anywhere near each other on the Phylogenetic Tree of Dinner Options.

Yeah I was recently negotiating the next show I will direct, and inquired if the show would be under the theatre company's monkier or my own, and I was brutally mocked!  Mocked I tell you!

I have to ask: did you actually SAY "Monkier"? Because I would mock you too.

If that's a typo and you actually said 'moniker' I might look at you funny (because, mainly, that word belongs in Pre WWII newspapers, Variety magazaine and crossword puzzle clues) and leave it at that.

Most intriguing post to me: V-Adore's about being mocked for applying science to combat illogical jargon.

Sometimes I g(f)eel the urge to point out the pretentiousness of someone criticizing my personal usage.

Other times I'm overwhelmed by the urge to point out (possibly pretentiously) the ill logic of someone's personal usage.

It's OK if it's MY usage.

It's like the old George Carlin line - about how Everyones else's stuff is SHIT and your shit is STUFF.

Geel?

That's a new one to both myself and the OED.

Illustrative of the question....I wasn't sure if monkier was a typo or not.

I'll just point out now that geel is in fact a typo.

OK for a moment, I didn't see the nozzle and was confused. Ray's "Tedor would want it this waaaaaay" still was pretty funny even before I realized, hey there's a nozzle he's about to sit on.

Also, has any teenage boy done anything wise near a lake? I know I didn't back then.

[JordanB]

I was about to protest Ray's declaration that no teenage boy
has ever done anything wise near a lake as merely
a poor example of trying to be funny through overgeneralization,
but I began to realize that nothing I have ever done
or thought about doing in close proximity to a lake
has been a Good Idea.
Pantomiming surfing on a piece of driftwood
in order to elicit forced laughter from my friends,
only to fall and get a concussion is an example of the latter.

Lakes definitely emit some kind of radiation
that makes teenage boys act the fool.  Or, well... more so.

Is it hard to get a concussion from standing water at about the elevation of sea level? How many rocks and velocity does it take?

[AlohaDawg]

I bet if he whacked his head on that driftwood he'd get a concussion. People do that on surfboards too.

i once hurt my toe, badly, in sand.

sand, it's a bitch.

I didn't try to pull dumb physical stunts so much as pull dumb pranks that seemed clever at the beginning but were really just...sad.

I have nearly lost my life on several occasions while being young and in close proximity to a lake.*
