By the way, this was epic. Thanks for leaving that here :) Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 13:55, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Most welcome. EddyP (talk) 18:04, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Return of the Crund

yayness ensues. Totnesmartin (talk) 21:50, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Crikey that was quick, thanks for the welcome back. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 21:53, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Welcome back! --^{Ask me about your mother} 21:50, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Crikey that was quick, thanks for the welcome back. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 21:54, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Welcome back Crundmeister! Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 21:54, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Been up to anything interesting while you were away? --^{Ask me about your mother} 22:11, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Not much, picked up the new kitten which has managed to infect the whole household with ringworm. Started brewing 20% alcohol. The usual. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 08:52, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Distilling the benzene out of lab-grade ethanol. The usual. 19:27, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Hehe. I'm making some of these. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 19:28, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Yay!

That is all. SJ ^Debaser 01:47, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

The hell? It's not like I haven't spoken to you! Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 08:52, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

I know, but it's still nice to enjoy your company here too. SJ ^Debaser 12:15, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair do's. Was Nutty drunk last night? I had an email from 2:18am this morning screaming at me asking me to log onto Skype NOW!! Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 13:54, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

I was another recipient of that email. I was locked in a battle of consciousness, however, and unable to attend, though if I'd known about it I probably would of. SJ ^Debaser 15:31, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Holy fuck!!!

I was just checking my watchlist and found that you had been moved from "cryonically frozen" to "cryonically re-animated" in the RationalWiki shrine. Welcome back, old friend!!!! Lord of the Goons ^{The official spikey-haired skeptical punk} 04:21, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Shrine? Well thanks anyway. Nice to have somewhere to talk bollocks again. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 19:21, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Fart

FAAAAAAART.

Ah, sorry, I farted. This page has been gas attacked by SuperJosh. Sorry.

Damn you. I thought you'd grown up but nooooooo. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 08:27, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

"God created Saturn.. and he liked it, so he put a ring on it" - hilarious! Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 15:59, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I liked that one too :) Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 21:00, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Awesome

...somebody has called me out for having a copyright-problem image on me user talk page--it's yours. Can you fix? P-Foster (talk) 22:49, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, it seems to all over the interwebs as a semi-meme image so I'd guess no-one would care about it, but it's just a comedy image so I couldn't give a monkey's shit if it gets deleted. Let them know they can delete it if they feel threatened by it. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 08:10, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Oi, you natural fuckin ' idiot!

I watched Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels last night. Good, though I prefer Snatch; the characters were better developed and the storyline was generally more entertaining. I now do realise that most Guy Ritchie gangster flicks centre around a group of people in London with the occasional Northener thrown in who are all going after some kind of item, with their individual storylines coming together because of it. Lock, Stock = the guns, Snatch = the diamond, Rock 'n' Rolla = the painting. SJ ^Debaser 18:07, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Haven't seen rock'n'rolla, but I agree, Snatch is beter than lock stock. "Wha the fuck do I want a caravan that's go nah fooking wheels?". Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 20:40, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

I like Rock 'n' Rolla, but I want not approve on it. I think polite post. SJ ^Debaser 13:58, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Yay! It begins!! Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 14:01, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Star Wars Wiki

I believe this actually happened last year concerning cats with a certain Resistor of the Underground variety. SJ ^Debaser 17:07, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

And remind the class what happened to CUR please. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 19:04, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

He pissed off everyone on the wiki and was forced off the wiki by his Real Life parents because of his reception here and the effect it had on his real life. Is that correct, sir? SJ ^Debaser 19:17, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Well done Josh. Let's put a star on your chart. FUCK! You should so get your Uni professors to do that with the students!! Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 19:27, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

But the site needed to go to hell, turn very quickly toward the exit and accelerate quickly to get rid of him. Word cubic Hoover! 19:31, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Consider yourself quoteworthy

[1] Now I'm off for a BBQ. SJ ^Debaser 16:39, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Also, the template "Grammar Nazi" on your userpage doesn't work. I want not approve on it. I think annoying post. Please to change. SJ ^Debaser 18:20, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Huh, seems human deleted it for whatever reason. I want not approve on it. I think annoying post. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 20:04, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

If ever you needed a reason to drink more beer

Get a load of this study which recommends drinking more beer to stave off osteoperosis. Cheers! The Goonie 1 ^{What's this button do? Uh oh....} 18:28, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

My bones are like a shield of steel!! Lucky that I've just bought another premium beer kit for standby. So I now have Canadian Blonde in a primary for my keg, Special Lager in a secondary for bottling, and some Continental Lager sitting in the box :) 120 pints should do me for a week or so... Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 19:28, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

This stinks of the "substance X has a connection with effect Y, substance X is found in comestible Z, hence comestible Z causes effect Y" fallacy. Professor Moriarty 19:35, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

I want not approve of it. I think statistical post. Mei (talk) 19:38, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

See the bottom of my Userpage. P.S. Well done Mei! Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 19:46, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

I see. That is indeed worthy of meme status. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 19:48, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Far more amusing than Pretty Cool Guy. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 19:57, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Lovely Jail voting

Ello there. You voted in the famous Lumpy Jerboa bi-election, but there's some confusion as to who voted and who just commented. If you only intended to comment, can you modify your post on the RationalWiki:May 2010 Loya Jirga by-elections by adding a strikethrough tag to it? e.g.

<s>My earlier comment</s>

You can leave your post as is if you were actually voting.

ConcernedResident ^{bat for the ladies} 09:04, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh I was voting, but also pointing out that I don't think he wants to be elected so you might want to check first. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 09:19, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

That'll probably be sorted out in the post-election fighting/spooning. Yeah, I think most people were voting, but be certain now reduces the fighting and increases the spooning. --ConcernedResident ^{dog house for the ladies} 09:22, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Your vote for me for the Lawful Jumbles

If you want to know who I endorse in lieu of myself, I have officially endorsed Concernedresident for Lawful Jumbles, 'cuz he's friggin' awesome! Lord Goonie ^{Hooray! I'm helping!} 15:44, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Mensan?

You are a member of Mensa? Do you have access to the on-line archive of their publications here? If you do, can you dig up something for me? --ZooGuard (talk) 15:27, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm a member of Mensa UK, so my account doesn't have access to the US site, but I've asked them for access as detailed here so I'll let you know if and when they get back to me. What do you need? Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 15:48, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I just thought that if you have access, you may do a quick search for articles or reader questions about this. (In the vein of "highly intelligent doesn't mean smart well informed". :)) As far as I know, something like that was run in October or November 2001, and there may have been repeat offenses. :) --ZooGuard (talk) 15:57, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

K, I'll have a look when I get a login. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 15:58, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! If you dig up something interesting, my "E-mail this user" link works. --ZooGuard (talk) 16:26, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Why actually join the organisation? Seems to be a society of boors obsessed with their IQ number. Imagine Christopher Hitchens, an intelligent John Mc Cririck and that annoying geeky black gay in Big Brother a couple of years back in the one room. Thats how I'd imagine a Mensa meeting. Libertarian1 (talk) 00:15, 19 May 2010 (UTC) Throw in Martin Amis and Ken Livingstone for a serious wankerfest and you have a seriously shit party. Libertarian1 (talk) 00:17, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Clever old Crundy eh? Mensa man! I did an IQ test a week ago and got 130 but a couple of years ago I got 147. What yours? Aceⁱ⁹ 01:16, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Here's the thing Ace. I've never believed in just telling people my IQ. Then they express skepticism. You have to make them work for it! Nothing convinces people that you're smart faster than confusing mathematics. For example, my IQ (IQ) is given by :$\int _{IQ}^{\infty }{\frac {1}{15{\sqrt {2\pi }}}}e^{\frac {-(x-100)^{2}}{450}}dx\approx {\frac {1}{750}}$. Confusing people is a blast! --The Emperor _{Kneel before Zod!} 02:06, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

People can be as skeptical as they like. Doesn't bother me. Aceⁱ⁹ 02:22, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

My 1976 SAT scores qualify me for Mensa membership. Only trouble is, I'd have to have to care, and find a copy of my scores (ie, I'm too lazy to join, and don't see the point). I'm not so smart now, because I learned so much since then. And as David Gerard so eloquently put it on high IQ society, nowadays its really easy to find people smarter than oneself on the internet. As Libertarian1 has found so easily. ħuman 03:46, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

What the fuck? Did you guys read the second paragraph of this and are winding me up? Oh and Libertarian1: The meetings aren't even a fraction as interesting as you make them out to be, so yes, I went to one, once, and will not go again. What's a boor anyway? Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 07:53, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Dude, we're all on your side. The psychosis part deserves to be in the article, kan you rite maybe? ħuman 08:01, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

My IQ is entirely dependent on the amount of "care" I put into the test. If I did one now I'd get abhout 40. Aceⁱ⁹ 08:12, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

I assumed your drop from 147 to 130 was beer related. I guess alcohol does kill braincells. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 08:14, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Human: there you go. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 08:26, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

One Forty Seven was when I concentrated deeply and tried hard. This is why IQ is complete bollocks - I would never put in that much effort into anything else so my day to day IQ is a lot lower. Aceⁱ⁹ 08:28, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. Also, the supervised tests are split into sections which are timed, and they give you very little time to finish each section, so you have to have your brain in quick-work mode as well as deep-concentration mode. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 08:37, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Alcoholism also severely effects short term communication skills. I look at awesome diff now. Is it better than mine? ħuman 08:29, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

I have not joined Mensa because there is a chance that I might be expected to talk to someone. Word cubic Hoover! 08:31, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

I have not joined Mensa because any organisation that is proud to have Geena Davis as a member is not for Ace McWicked. Aceⁱ⁹ 08:37, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

I have not joined Mensa because I'm too busy arguing with you bastids. ħuman 08:40, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Haha. I don't know what the big deal is anyway. Top 2%? Whoopie fucking doo. That's 1 in 50. So take 49 "average" people off the street (bear in mind the number of fuckwit chavs we have here now) and you're telling me you wouldn't be the smartest the majority of the time? Just about everyone on this site could get into Mensa. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 08:45, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Crundy one. Very nice. ħuman 08:32, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

I refused to join Mensa when I found out Garry Bushell was a member. Totnesmartin (talk) 08:47, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
