An hour and five minutes? You guys either talked a lot, or you really intended on finishing the first ASKLRR thread.

not to deny Lavos his hard-earned forum rank which he hasn't gotten yet(and probably wouldn't for another six weeks), but...

On page 3, Lavos actually made a second entry, "INDIANA JONES AND THE SHOWDOWN WITH EDWARD JAMES OLMOS." I actually did check to make sure he posted it before the podcast was made.(it was. About 3 days.)

Just FYI.

I'm now regretting not entering "Indiana Jones and the ONE ENTRY PER USER!"

I'll have to come up with one of Jer's fragments, then.

One of Jer's fragments that got left behind was his anger.  His anger (dressed in white button up shirt and jeans) is concentrated anger.  He throws things, eats babies, and laughs when old people fall.

 Jer's fear was left out. He wears the standard outfit but carries around a baseball bat which he desperately attempts to smack anything and everything around him, but being incorporreal and all...that doesn't work very well

The Voices

Postby opalsky » 20 Sep 2007, 05:02

Code: Select all


If Jer left the voices in his head with someone else, they'd see a Jer with tousled hair, his white shirt buttoned to the neck and the sleeves rolled down.  His arms would be crossed in front, wrapping around his back as if he was wearing a straight-jacket.  He'd be babbling and calling himself 'Jer'.

The Bleary-eyed host would call Real Jer and say, "Yeah, you need to come over and get the voices in your head.   They haven't shut up for three days and I've got to get some sleep!"

Paul, that's not how the two hemispheres of the brain work.

Yes, people HAVE died because of lack of sleep. You're confusing "lack of dreams" and "lack of sleep". It usually takes external forces to prevent that much sleep, though.

Flea, I'm pretty sure that no one has ever died from just not sleeping directly.

It's like trying to die by holding your breath. You will pass out and start breathing before you get close to dying. Same with sleep, if you force yourself to stay awake somehow, you will eventually just shut down and pass out, at which point you sleep.

Even if you take some drug or something that makes it impossible for you to sleep, it isn't the lack of sleep that kills you, but the resultant drop in health. Conversely, a drug that stops your lungs will kill you via suffocation.

Yes. However, there are two crucial problems with your argument.

1) There is a rare condition called Ondine's Curse in which the part of the brain stem that controls automatic breathing is damaged. Unless the victim consciously maintains the breathing process, or is put on a ventilator, they'll suffocate from not breathing.

2) Unlike breathing, sleeping can be easily interferred with by environmental influences. It takes a lot of work to prevent a person from breathing - stopping them from sleeping isn't so hard.

Code: Select all

Jer's inner nerd would be stuck with Matt, oggling and attempting to steal his vast unopened game collection. He would have big glasses with the tapped middle, braces, and a pocket protector filled with pens in Jer's left front pocket. Nerd Jer's shirt would be worn properly and tucked into his Jeans. He would speak with the typical nerd lisp and sinus tone.

Jer's latent furfaggotry would be portrayed with a duck fursuit. He would attempt to have sex with anything, including his latent homosexuality.

A duck FURsuit? wouldn't it be feathers?

As for my trivia entry:

Code: Select all

Everyone seems to forget Jer's "indie scenester" side, which is likely with (and even more likely annoying the hell out of) Kathleen in Vancouver.  He is dressed with a military style white dress shirt and punk/emo jeans, as well as a black track jacket, black rectangular glasses, and a smug sense of undeserved superiority.  He may also have a secret crush on Jer's latent homosexuality.


Lavos' forum rank? Perfect. I mean how else can you describe him.

EDIT: I still am keeping my entry as is, but in case anyone else has a way to show it, I would die if I saw someone submit something about Jer's Penis Envy. That would pretty much be awesome.

EDIT EDIT: If no one else does it, I will post it after the podcast is recorded.

'grats, Lavos.

Any other rank LRR gives out will never compare to that one in terms of perfection. I don't think they should give any more out.

I mean, you couldn't really justify it, could you?

I move the weekly challenge reward be changed. No more forum ranks, Lavos deserves to have the last one.
