| - | :Hey, '''It's dot com'''. Glad you found something funny in the content of my page - I agree completely that people have to wonder if anyone reads them. I read other user pages primarily to learn more about a user. The better constructed pages tend to reflect how serious the user is about being part of the community - a page that says "I don't know what to write here" or "hi" really doesn't give a window into what the person behind the IP address is really like. And though it's in the Wiki rules not to disclose too much about yourself, a little bit is fine. I think it's a neat way to give a persona to the linked signature.

| - | :Back when the page was perpetuating the notion that the Smoking Monkey was, in fact, a monkey and the Director of Primate Studies at The Louvre, it made me chuckle. It all started with the picture - a slightly bewildered, striped-suit wearing chimp holding a pipe and enjoying what seems to be mineral water at an open air cafe told a story that wrote itself. I made the "character" because I wasn't really sure what to expect here at the HRWiki, and I also wanted people to laugh a little should they stumble upon it. After a while, though, I seriously doubted anyone was stumbling on it, and I also noticed at least one anonymous user freaked out at me when I reverted their edit. So I thought, "why not just do a normal user page?" If someone was curious (or angry) at me, they could see I wasn't some jerk pretending to be a monkey.

| | | | |
| - | Now, The Smoking Monkey, surely there is no real connection between the Geddup Noise and that guy Geddy. First of all, "Geddup Noise" is just a mutation of "get up noise." TBC had two real choices on the spelling, "Gettup" and "Geddup," and nobody except Martha Stewart and my annoying ex-girlfriend actually enunciates ''-tt-'', so that leaves "Geddup." Furthermore, the shortening of "Geddup" to "Geddy" follows an expected pattern in English. You even see it all over the site: ''Marzipan→Marzy; King of Town→Kingy; Computer→Compy; Laptop→Lappy.'' And my last point is something you wrote yourself: "It could be a total coincidence." If it could be a total coincidence, and given the fact that there is no other corroborating evidence, don't you think that makes a bad fun fact? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:10, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

| - | :Ben, sometimes the STUFF process is too harsh. STUFF, as far as I can see, is meant to seperate the wheat from the chaff. The first time I saw [[geddup noise]], that is the first thing that popped into my head when Homestar said it. I did not, however, suggest it anywhere. I didn't think it was important. Then, someone did. Curiously, whoever this was didn't even vote for their own remark. | + | :::I second the slogan of "You Might Not Get Banned!"

| - | :So, I bucked the trend and voted yes. I don't think my votes really carry more or less weight than anyone else (except anonymous voters), and the STUFF forum is a chance for voters to express the reasoning behind their opinion.

| - | :I agree with you - it's a bad fun fact. But that still didn't stop me from believing it, however tacitly - every other "geddy" I've heard relates to the musician, and I believe (perhaps erroneously) that TBC know about Rush. One Geddy, as it were, begets another.

In non-digital life, once you get to know me, you quickly realize I like to joke around a lot. Not the "being a jerk" type, the "trying to make you laugh" kind. You strike me as being a pretty serious dude, to the point where your comments confuse me. You've seen the confusion before, on this page, in fact, as in the "Geddy" thing - I honestly thought you were coming down on me. I have a really, really hard time telling who's being stern or abrupt and who's just typing succinctly and earnestly. I only typed/said "how ya been" in the most casual, inoffensive way I knew how. As always, no offense meant, and, as usual, I can't tell if you're offended or just "kidding back." In any case, you're doing a great job, and I'm glad the Wiki is doing so well. Peace, and 5000 [[G|g's]]— {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 21:21, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

| - | ::::::::<nowiki>*</nowiki>sigh* Oh, Dave. Kidding back. Always kidding back. Reread my comment above. I have inserted one of those emoticon things to help make my meaning clear. If you're ever in doubt, you should probably just mentally put one after each sentence I type. ;) I have an ''extremely'' dry sense of humor, which is why I find [[First Time Here?|the joke that is my name]] so funny, as well as the reply "Oww, those things are bad for you" to being punched by what one thinks is floating Swiss Cake Rolls. Like you said, you have no idea who I am, so you don't know that I'm really not that serious a dude at all, and it takes a lot to really offend me. I only come across that way because I think seriously about an absurd cartoon (much the same way Jerry and George would think about things), because I can use long words and understand deep concepts, and because sometimes I'm forced to when I'm acting in my capacity as a sysop. You should hang out at the IRC sometime. It's easier to get to know folks there. And seriously ;), I'm glad you're trying to completely quit smoking. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:02, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

I've made two of those IRC sessions, and I somehow end up being busy or just forgetting altogether. I will try for next week's one, however. And, as always in cliched closing, it's all good in the hood, or something to that effect. ^_^ — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:33, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Just leave it open. there always a few people there, just hanging out (Don't tell nobody, but secretly we're really just hangin out.) Come! join us! {{User:E.L.

| - | | + | |
| - | ::Well, your reply here led me to read [[Wikipedia:Fermat's last theorem#Trivia|Fermat's last theorem]], and I will share the interesting trivia I found there (I already knew the bit about ''Star Trek''): "A sum, proved impossible by the theorem, appears in an episode of the ''[[Wikipedia:Simpsons|Simpsons]]'', '[[Wikipedia:Treehouse of Horror VI|Treehouse of Horror VI]]'. In the three-dimensional world in 'Homer<sup>3</sup>', the equation 1782<sup>12</sup> + 1841<sup>12</sup> = 1922<sup>12</sup> is visible, just as the dimension begins to collapse. The joke is that the twelfth root of the sum does evaluate to 1922 due to rounding errors when plugged into most handheld calculators." — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:02, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

| - | :::Man, those Simpson writers, always fitting in minutiae for us nerds. I admit that I was ignorant of the theorem until a few months ago when I read about it in the [[Wikipedia:the Economist|the Economist]]. Not being a mathmetician (or even remotely proficient in math) I was still intrigued by a theorem written by a man who viewed math as a hobby that caused great math minds fits. I eagerly look forward to Mr. Jibney's solution! — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 16:51, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

| - | ::::For the record, my calculator showed 1921.9999999558672254029113283703 as the 12th root of the sum of 1782 and 1841, each raised to the 12th power. Not an integer, for sure, but pretty darn close. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

| - | | + | |
| - | :::::Close, but no cigar! ^_^ I think that's what makes it so great: seemingly simple on the surface, maddening in practice. The weirdest thing is that this theorem was just a ''random scribble'' in one of Fermat's books...maybe one day, when lazily reading something, I can come up with a profound insight or unprovable formula. Based on the quality of my doodles from the last 20 years, I'm much more likely to draw a cartoon penguin or some kinda robot. — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 17:01, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Not to take anything away from this wiki, but here I always feel restrained. I'm a writer, and sometimes us writing types go glass-eyed over the more gnomish aspects (recent changes, templates, technical stuff guys like you are totally kick a** at) that make this Wiki what it is. I'm not cutting or running - I'll be back with some stupid stuff to say, but as for now, I'm having too much fun making articles where the humor content is 100% (or at least 95%) Monkey-created.

I herd a roomer (i know it's not spelled right) from an ugly bird that you were able to write random stuff here for free! well since i cannot afford the money cost variety I decided to write some stuff here, since it’s free-n-stuff. Anyways got to get back to aimlessly wandering the wiki. ( you do not have to respond to my comment, even though I have a cool name, and high bangs) |
