Nerd Report: September 2007

This is the first time I've played this without dying of dysentery. Be kind, pick up hitchers. Bonus: IM between Lauren and me logging the game (edited because no one cares to read everything I write.) Jigga-funny to anyone who knows these characters; stupid otherwise:

me: How are you this fine day, Lauren?

Lauren: well, chemistry is kkilling me

the science

me: What's up with that?

I thought you dug "science."

Lauren: well this is the one i dont really get

me: So, you admit that your IQ is a paltry 187?

I'm not mad, just disappointed.

Maybe a Flash version of Oregon trail would help?

Check it real fast:

I'm playing the online Oregon Traill...

And "koavf" is driving with "lauren" shotgun.

"lunchbox" "pudge" and "gayson" in the back.

Literally 10 second into the drive, I get this message:

"lunchbox gets a small fruit candy stuck up a nostril."

I kid you not.

I could not make that up.

Lauren: you're lying

me: Seriously.

I just got:

"pudge gets a finger stuck in a pop bottle."

No joke.

Lauren: oh man now that's realistic for ya

me: By the way, I will die of dysentery.

Lauren: good.

i knew i could count on you.

me: I always died of dysentery in Oregon Trail. ALWAYS.

I think it's God's way of giving me a hint.

Newest message:

"lauren says: 'Hey, check it out, I just found $100 on the ground!"

Literally true.

Lauren: No wAY

me: Next message:

"pudge stuck a hand out of the window while it was hailing and fractured a metacarpal."

Lauren: hahahaha

a metacarpal

me: "lauren gets a hand rolled in a window. You'll never hear the end of this. Lose 30 minutes."

It's like REAL LIFE.

THIS GAME IS WATCHING ME!!!!!!!!!!11

Lauren: HAHAHAHAHA

i just laughed so hard out loud

they know our personalities

keep a log of this game

me: Well, I am. Here.

you=log

*sleeps in Grand Island, Nebraska.

You rested for 13 hours. Again, about right.

Lauren: eh, it's usually 13.5

but close

me: Should we join a parking lot turtle race for $5?

Lauren: uh YES

me: Your turtle wins!

You won $125!

gayson gets giardia from drinking too much creek water.

This is creepy.

Lauren: man my hand hurts ...you know...FROM THAT TIME YOU ROLLED THE WINDOW UP ON IT

me: Oh noXORZ!

Hey, maybe you rolled up the window.

*never hears the end of it

*lauren=chick

Lauren: yeah way to BLAME IT ON SOMEONE ELSE

me: *never hears the end of it still.

We're in Boulder!

pudge asks a weird question during "Would you rather?", taking things too far again.

lunchbox gets purple nurple from another car member due to a music disagreement.

*clearly pudge

You pass some nasty roadkill. gayson cries. Everyone feels awkward.

A breath-holding competition is held while going through a tunnel and lauren passes out.

pudge claims to have seen Big Foot in the distance.

Seriously.

lauren gets a thigh burn on the hot leather seats
