:geek:

See, in the proper world order if someone were calling me a nerd it would be a big football player trying to stuff me in a locker.....

But NO! My tormentor has to be a grad student who is into parasitic barnacles!

What the heck is wrong with the world?!?!?!!?

Anyway, we smelled like a sewer for about a week afterwards. TASTY!

I don't know what they paid you, but I am pretty sure it wasn't enough!

Me?!:blinking: :blinking: Are you referring to ME?!:blinking: I'd say the guy who ALREADY has the doctorate and is using his free time to discuss sewage has a WAY higher :geek: classification than lil ol' me :blinking: I'm merely a :dork: Besides there is NOTHING wrong with parasitic barnacles and if anybody actually finds one I'll be your best friend forever and/or buy you lunch or paint your hood if you let me have it

I don't know Gidds, parasitic barnacles are fairly low... I hope you're not into the rhizocephalan type, yuk.

 

[Gidds]

Oh yeah you bet I am! They are AWESOME!Come on real life body snatchers, what could be cooler? I think you men just don't like the feminizing and castration part I just put a pic of one in my avatar for the curious. I really REALLY want one! Remember I AM a parasitologist so I'm allowed to be excited about this. :multi:
The guy who has the giant, what is that an isopod?, eating Elmo as his profile pic is saying "yuk" about a cool body-snatching barnacle? Please! You PhD types need to quit picking on me I think

or paint your hood if you let me have it

Never! You'd sneak some kind of body-snatching parasite in it!

 

[Gidds]

I'll paint the hood before you hand over the crab w/Sacculina? If you actually had one I'd give you NO peace until you let me have it, you do realize that right?
