Hello.

[Burning Sheep Productions]

Aww... big name...<br>Can I call you Rod Beaver for short?<br>I'll give you a jetpack if I can.<br><br>Anyways, welcome to here.

[Rod Beauvex / Marble Didy]

How'd you pull Beaver out of Beauvex? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>You can actually call me either one. Either Rod or Marble.

[GhostWay]

Or perhaps just "RBMD"?<br><br>Hmm..."MD"....Folks, looks like we have another doctor in the forums!

[Muninn]

With so many doctors we don't need no steenkin' health service reforms.

[GhostWay]

But are they good doctors? Or even real doctors?<br><br>I remember one time I filled out some forms to get results from my MRI. Whomever processed them must of been an idiot, because he/she mistook my first two initials ("MD") as M.D., the abbreviation for "Medical Doctor." Imagine my surprise when I recieved a phone call asking for "Doctor ___" and then had the results addressed to Doctor ___. I guess they decided to give me an honorary degree.

[Richard K Niner]

An honourary Ph. D.<br><br>I want one!

[Zaaphod]

Hehehee, I think you can buy fake degrees from online "universities." Ahh, the wonders of the Internet. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo--><br>

Kay Rod, here's half a jetpack for ya.<br>*Give jetpack to Rod while still holding other side of it.*

[erikbarrett]

Hello Rod, I think that that will be your "official" nickname, at least until someone comes up with something completely random to refer to you by. But until then.

I've yet to find a fictional character in any medium that I can relate to.<br><br>And yeah, I read about the dumbing down of Ozy and Millie. Can't say I've noticed it, really. Not going to comment on my opion of it though. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table> <!--QuoteEEnd--><br> On Dumbing down O&M I think DC Simpson is taking an interesting approch, he's double-layering O&M. This means that there will be surface storylines that are simple, and anything deep will be discountable by those who don't understand it as a fruedian slip or some other such idea. <br><br>It's done by a lot of TV shows and comics these days, at least the more intellegent ones. Star Trek: Enterprise, Simpsons, Gundam: Seed, Megas XLR, ATHF, Harvey Birdman, etc. <br><br>You notice an unusually large number are on Cartoon Network. It sort of states the status of our world, that those with a strong inner child are the most intellegent, not those that are the sophisticated snobs running the world. <br><br>While I don't know if that's good news or bad news for us. True, we are the most intellegent, but it also means we aren't very powerful in the world. I guess it's the world's loss, not ours. *l*
