What does your username mean?

[Gustaf]

Mine means that I hate politics and political strategy and I come from American Samoa.

It does? I wouldn't ahve guessed that...we've done this once before, but I'll oblige and post again...mine is my first name, plain and simple!

You're less original than I am.

OK, now THAT'S an insult! You wanna see original, I'll show you original! Just you wait...

[Gustaf]

Very little known fact about 'Gustaf':

His first username was 'Gus'.  'Gustaf' registered immeadiately adter 'Gus' registered.

What? That might infact be correct...I recall thinking that Gus might be more appropriate since it would make more sense to English-speakers...but I have no recollection of that register, and also no idea why I went in with my full name...

that will show that Gus and Gustaf have the same e-mail, so Gus and Gustaf are the same person.

Actually, it doesn't...

[Gustaf]

Well, what happened was the dtatbase wouldn't let Gustaf use the same email for both accounts, so he used his alternate e-mail, at yahoo.

You Tink you No so Mutch, but I Dont and Wish you stop taking about me ang Gustaf like this

See, MiamiU? He's not me, just some odd troll-guy.

[Gustaf]

I got you, Gustaf!

You did not...there are great, big HOLES in your argument, like the fact that...ehhhh...I will think of something...

[Gustaf]

You can call be Detective Dave.

I wouldn't do that to you, I am not that kind of person...

[Gustaf]

Can I ask you why you switched usernames?

You can ask, but I have no answer whatsoever...I have no idea, I didn't even remeber "Gus". You never considered the possibility that he's just another Gustaf who happened to join at the same time?

[Gustaf]

C'mon, spit it out.

I am dead serious. I don't know. I will try and remember though.

[Gustaf]

Fine.

I have to get up early tomorrow for PE again, so good night...

[Gustaf]

I forgot what PE is!

Physical Education...?

[Gustaf]

I forgot what PE is!

Physical Education...?

Oh yeah...I don't see why you can't just have PE during the day..

That's what you thought was funny? Don't ask me, I don't run the school...but PE is usually the first or last lesson of the day, seldom in the middle of the day.

[Gustaf]

But you have to get up earlier to go to PE than you usually do?  That doesn't make sense.

Normal lessons start at 8.30, PE starts at 8.15. Normal lessons are in the school, PE in a sports hall way off. Normal lessons don't require you to change, PE does.  

[Gustaf]

No. He has to get changed before 8.15, and he has a longer way to school. So it's maybe half an hour...What's the big deal, Gustaf?
My school started at 7.30, and the last 18 months, after I'd moved to another part of the city, I had to be out of the house at 6.50 to catch my subway.

Lol...it isn't such a big deal nomrally, but at 1 a.m. it is, since I then get about 5 hours of sleep, sa compared to, say, Thursdays when I start at 11.25 a.m. and can thus be up late without it being a problem...it normally takes me about 10 minutes to my train station, 15 minutes to get to the city, and then another 8 minutes with the subway and finally, if I run, about 10 minutes to my school. Since I want to read our 2 morning papers before I leave home, I have to get up at roughly 2 hours before I start, so 8.30 means getting up at 6.30, and when it long after midnight that does seem a bit early.

But I wasn't trying to elecit sympathy or anything, I just mentioned t as an explanation earlier, and since it got weird thanks to MiamiU I brought it up again as a little joke...didn't work well though...

[Gustaf]

You take the subway to school in high school?  No school buses?

No, they hardly exist in Sweden.

[Gustaf]

Do you take the subway and run all around if it is snowing??

Culture Clashes...

What? If it snows it can get delayed occasionally...what does the running part mean?

[Gustaf]

I used to take the subway too. School buses don't make much sense inside cities...Almost everybody lives within walking range of the school anyways, and the rest don't only because they don't go to the nearest school.
I used to read the paper on the subway.

You were allowed to take the paper with you? My parents would kil lme if I ran off with it...

[Gustaf]

i live in london, good public transport but it is always late

How is a public transpost system good if it always late?

I seldom have that problem, but that's related to the fact that I can take most subways.

[Gustaf]

Change it to 'MZ'

That sounds like a state acronym...

What about 'Mike Z', or possibly 'the Z'?

[Gustaf]

The Big Z

[Gustaf]

You like it?

Yeah, sure...

Why not 'Z-man'?

[Gustaf]

...or how about 'Z-Monster'?

Don't pick MiamiU's name! What about the names I suggested? 'Z-Fang' hmmmm....it would have to be 'Ze Big Z' in any case...

[Gustaf]

Change your user-name, it's messing things up, way too long!

[Gustaf]

I was just checking what it would look like.

And now you have it backwards...very mature...

[Gustaf]

you do it, Gustaf:  yours would be 'fatsug'.

Fatsug...haha!

Somehow I'm reminded of a scene from The Shining...

Btw, we should try and get everyone to spell their name backwards here. A new user would arrive and just think "What the...."

"Redrum, redrum, redrum,redrum, REDRUM, REDRUM, REDRUM...AAAAAAAAAAH"

That seems like an over-elaborated practical joke...we'd be sitting around giggling and waiting for someone to arrive? Sounds like something nadpermeD would think of...
