And we've gone from "horrific car accident" to sex on page 1. Ladies and gentlemen of EE, you've outdone yourselves. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/sarcasm.png)

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

As long as both the "horrific car accident" and the "sex" remain virtual, it's all good, eh? ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/grin.png)

Who's this "WE" you speak of? It only took one person to change the subject. ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/wink.png)

It only took one person to change the subject. ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/wink.png) True, but tell me with a straight face that we wouldn't have stayed on the new subject indefinitely. It's all part of Virgil's Theorem of EE Topic Propagation: lim p( topic = sex ) + p( topic = booze ) = 1 for all initial topics t ---> infinity
I'm currently trying to find loose outer bounds dictating the speed of convergence to inappropriate topics. Thus far, I've only been able to prove the following: n (e+1) ---------- m A0 p( topic (in) {appropriate topics} ) <= phi where n is the number of pages in the thread, e is the number of EE contributors, m is the number of mods present, A0 is the appropriateness of the topic in the OP, and phi is a positive real I call the 'decency decay rate', estimated to be about 0.9604 +/- 0.0028.

Gibberish folks, just all plain nonsense.
Here we see Sugilite flashing back to third grade, when Ms. Snelder was trying to convince her of the usefulness of long division. Sugilite wouldn't have it. She'd already suffered through learning the multiplication tables, which she'd deemed completely worthless because why would anybody care about multiplying five rows of apples by seven columns of apples when you could simply count the bloody apples! Now her teacher was insisting she undo multiplication, the exact reverse of what she'd just been taught? Standing up at her desk, Sugilite boldly declared to her class: "Gibberish, folks. Just all plain nonsense." She knew there were 17 alpacas on her family's farm, and she could count to 17. She didn't need to be a world-class mathematician to do that. To heck with Ms. Snelder and all of her lines and digits and carry the this and shift the that. "It's not gibberish, Sugilite," Ms. Snelder replied, keeping an even tone, trying to reason with her young pupil. Sugilite looked her straight in the eye. "Gibberish, folks," she said defiantly. "Just all plain nonsense."

Ladies and gentlemen of EE, you've outdone yourselves. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/sarcasm.png) IDK, no one brought up "horrific car accident sex". ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) Perhaps the EEishness of EE is declining. We are still on topic discussing Virgil's story of an improbable car accident. Had I realized this was on EE I would have changed the topic last night to keep EE's honor intact. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/melancholy.png)

Oh, and I forgot to point this out. In order to keep this from happening in RL, you can never have relations with Mrs. Virgil ever again. Best to keep the horror virtual. ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/wink.png)

Dang, I was hoping that we would have an update~~~~ Virgil being sued by neighbor's wife for causing him such fright/angst that he couldn't perform his manly duties and she was horney and had to hire "outside" help to get relief. Wants Virgil to pick up tab as long as her husband is incapacitated ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/faint.gif) ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/thumbsup.png) I know, huh?! ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/thumbsup.png) Me too ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/rofl.gif) Could you come visit my area Virgil? I need to hire some help! ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/wink.png)

Virgil, you are toast. You posted this on the internet with your actual intention. If this goes to court, everything and we all know everything will be out.
Knowing how ultra smart you are (B5 as evidence), I think this is a scam by Virgil to jazz up the board. Mission accomplished.
------------- The board has been snail slow to load tonight. It's probably the lawyers gathering information before it's deleted. If anyone knows the vilanous stealthliness of internet nerds, it's Virgil. Pffft, even my frenemie can gather info in a snap, massage it, twisting to and fro the spit out a half truth.

A Honda hits a Honda? You both deserve it. Everyone knows that Honda drivers are jerks. Overaggressive wannabes angry that they can't afford a really good car. Pathetic, all of 'em. I'm a 10 and two driver in my little Honda Civic CRZ Hybrid. I'd stop you cold in your tracks if you saw the CRZ and I together. Like the girl from ipanema.

lol Virgil, Not yet, but I did reach a milestone this time. It took four attempts, many reported posts, countless angry PMs and ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/shocked.gif) emotes, and just as many frenzied mea culpas, but I was finally able to write a satirical piece on EE that didn't completely blow up in my face. It's especially good to know that most of EE still considers "Virgil the psychopath" sufficiently beyond the pale to recognize the OP as satire. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/thumbsup.png) Moreover, I now know exactly where my mental stability lies in the minds of EEers. 'Virgil' is unhinged enough that he can fly off into an all-caps rant about how Archie's 'dragon' is actually a 'newt' for no apparent reason, but not quite unhinged enough that he thinks playing chicken with SUVs is a good idea. Technically that puts me somewhere between Beer and Sugilite on the sane-o-meter. ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/laugh.png)
