I was first introduced to QC when the controversial "Trans" strip was first released (A little more than a week ago?) and decided I wanted to find out the backstory leading up to the strip (huge mistake), so here I am.

I'm Eugene, age 20, currently going to college, I have finals next week and instead all I can do is think about QC and wonder why my life isn't as easygoing as waking up, going to work, and drinking coffee with my friends at the local coffee shop.

Pleased to meet you.

Welcome to the club. Drop your GPA at the door and dive right in! (In all seriousness though, I hope you don't actually drop your GPA)
... This coming from the guy blatantly ignoring his physics prof and typin on his IPad in class. It's a rather large class though.

We take all forms of cash, checks and monetary goods for your therapy sessions administered by our resident professional... Carl-E. Now just because Carl has been retired for three years doesn't mean that he can't solve a little trauma here or there.

Welcome to the forums~!

Hola!

I'm sure as long as you never did homework or studied before you came here, this forum can't hurt your grades noticeably.

Bluesummers · « **Reply #5 on:** 29 Nov 2012, 19:19 »

Indeed. Still, if you find yourself with an empty void in your life because you read up to current, do what we do: read it again. XD

I think the actual term is "unemployed", not "retired".

Welcome, new person!

You can burn up even more time browsing the wiki, or even worse, contributing to it.

Hey Randy, I have something I want to test. You see that field blocked by a high-voltage electric gate with the sign, "No entry, mine field?" I want you to walk through that and report back to me, ok buddy?

I bet they have that at Cabela's.

Carl-E · « **Reply #15 on:** 04 Dec 2012, 01:36 »

Guys, don't fuck with Randy. He only gets more annoying.

Asterus · « **Reply #16 on:** 04 Dec 2012, 13:18 »

It'd make a decent system for minesweeping though. You'd get more uses out of Randy than your average sousaphone player.

Carl-E · « **Reply #17 on:** 04 Dec 2012, 15:36 »

Just remember to have them put the sousaphone down before going out into the field.

Those things are expensive!

Redball · « **Reply #18 on:** 04 Dec 2012, 15:46 »

Sousaphone player in high school used to take his mouthpiece and ding the bell of the instrument next to him. Amazingly soft metal; the mouthpiece left a visible dent every time. He was the school superintendent's son. That might have made a difference.

Bluesummers · « **Reply #19 on:** 04 Dec 2012, 16:14 »

I played sousaphone in high school...we did a thing called a "tuba twirl" where you take off the sousaphone while standing, hurl it behind your back, grab it with your other hand, throw it up in the air and put it back on. During a halftime formation, you'd have to march in-step and be going in the correct direction, or people get hurt. It helps to duct-tape it together before hand, so things don't fly apart.

I also did it for my college football halftime show, the short few weeks I was in UConn's marching band. Fun times.

I played trombone, marching in the front row and fantasizing about goosing the drum majorette, Patty Black, with the slide.

Carl-E · « **Reply #21 on:** 04 Dec 2012, 17:13 »

You too? My trombone's still in the attic... and my weakness wasn't a majorette, but rather one of the french horn players...

Bluesummers · « **Reply #22 on:** 04 Dec 2012, 17:18 »

I had a thing for a flutist...

And how exactly does a trombone player march in the front? What kind of bizarro-world parade is this?

Carl-E · « **Reply #23 on:** 04 Dec 2012, 17:19 »

Close formation, I'd guess - don't want the slide hitting anyone...

Kugai · « **Reply #24 on:** 04 Dec 2012, 21:03 »

Many years back I got fairly proficient at the Bugle. No keys either, just straight lip.

Doubt I could do it now though.

Every time I see a student doing this in a class I'm teaching I want to do this to it...

I also played the trombone, and for me the weakness was one of the clarinet players...

TROM...BONERS?

Carl-E · « **Reply #28 on:** 05 Dec 2012, 14:39 »

Considering the attention we payed to the rear ends in front of us instead of our music... yes.

If the appellation fits, wear it!

Redball · « **Reply #29 on:** 05 Dec 2012, 18:23 »

I have to admit my slide never made contact with Patty's bottom, or even the hem of her short skirt. What about the french horn and clarinet players?
It's possible, now that I think of it, that the slide made contact with some more adult female at a New Years Eve party when I was 13 or so, but that was a very strange year for me.
Also, now that I think of it, I admitted the fantasy to Patty at a reunion in the last 10-20 years. She may have been flattered that I noticed.

Considering the french horn player's brother was a (large) drummer, no contact with any body part was ever made. Had to be happy worshiping from afar...

Suicide respawn timers are often longer than normal kill respawns

I ended up dating her during my senior year, but we broke up after I left for college. Never got very far with her, though...
