Smattering of Kibology from my daily existence
Andrew J. Zimolzak
Kibological dream #0004. It involved me joining a fraternity run by
Kibologists. Kibo (who else?) was the president, and I also recall Matt
McIrvin somewhere in there. I have vague recollections of what various
people's faces looked like, which is odd, since I have seen few photos of
actual Kibologists. I remember that Kibo and Matt McIrvin both had
beards. This is probably a side effect of that doctored peter-pan-like
photo somebody posted a while back under the "Is this Kibo?" subject.
Afraid I can't get Deja to cough it up.
Also, Matt looked something like this d00d, part of the computer sci.
department at MSU:
http://www.cse.msu.edu/~urban/
It strikes me that this d00d also very vaguely resembles Glenn Dowdy in
the picture to which Mark Hill just posted a link. Man, I have to quit
reading this group before bed.
Second point:
So I'm volunteering in an emergency room in my hometown over the summer.
Allow me to apply Kontext-Away Creme liberally to a conversation that was
going on while I was there today (5/10):
"That's cooter juice!"
Yes, someone said those exact words. That is all.

Well, no... this is a side-effect of them both having beards. (Damn reality
physics, anyway!)

Yeah! Start reading it _in bed_! Next month, progress to The Clown!

I would _never_ join a fraternity that would have someone other than me
as a member.
Are you sure you're not thinking of Club 91? It's like a secret fraternity,
only Matt McIrvin isn't allowed to be in it because he didn't start until '92.
He has some cockamamie theory that I founded it just to keep him out.
My theory is that I founded it just to get him to think that so that
I could say "cockamamie" in public. COCKAMAMIE!!!

What happens after you have
your 9999th Kibological dream?
And what is a non-Kibological dream?

Which was - by the way - an actual doctored photo of Paul Tomblin.

I quit reading this group altogether because KIBOLOGISTS are THE SPAWN
OF EVIL!
Whew, I almost wrote "swan of evil" up there. That would have been bad.

This is known colloquially as the K10K bug. I don't anticipate any
problems with this as I am planning to replace my brain as soon as they
come out with the new chipset. This should happen before July 8, 2038 at
3:14:07 GMT, or my brain is in more trouble than just missing dreams.
If, for some reason, I have more than 9,999 Kibological dreams before
then, the dream company will think that I've suddenly had -9,999 dreams
and will send me a check for $49995! But I'm stockpiling food just in
case.
> And what is a non-Kibological dream?
I can't define it, but I know it when I have one. I keep an informal
journal on my computer, and a quick search for "dream" gave me the
following examples:
* I find a 6-shooter revolver that only works part of the time. When it
does work, a little blue pellet pops out and falls to the floor.
* Something about NMR spectroscopy
* Taking the MCAT, and later bashing in a panel on my car.
* A dream where I say something like, "You wouldn't think so, but I guess
people really can run faster than 70 mph for short periods of time."
* Someone lives on the floor above me. This person sings along with
music, but does it very badly.
* I win the Nobel Peace Prize. (This dream was interesting because it
was the opposite of a lucid dream. At several points, I stopped and
thought, "Wow, I really won a Nobel Prize. This is really happening.")
Most of the rest of my dreams involve me going to class, sitting in
class, or talking with the major characters in my life. Some are
realistic, some aren't.
I don't consider any of the above stuff particularly Kibological, I
suppose.

Thank you, and good night.

Kibological. It would be even more Kibological if a BIG blue pellet popped out.
Twice as much so if it popped IN.
> * Something about NMR spectroscopy
Kibological, especially if they're taking pictures of your insides because
Jar Jar Binks got trapped in there in the form of an evil lollipop.
> * Taking the MCAT, and later bashing in a panel on my car.
Kibological. Five times as Kibological if you take the MCAT inside an NMR.
> * A dream where I say something like, "You wouldn't think so, but I guess
> people really can run faster than 70 mph for short periods of time."
Kibological, even if it might be true. Sometimes the truth is more
Kibological than Kibology!
> * Someone lives on the floor above me. This person sings along with
> music, but does it very badly.
Kibological, especially if they're singing the theme song to
(a) "Batman"
(b) "Match Game '77"
(c) "Space: 1999"
(d) your intestinal NMR spectroscopy

Kibological, UNLESS it's true. If you really won a Nobel Prize just
so you could impress us by pretending it was a wonderful dream, then
you're a bad person and your Nobel Prize should be taken away from you
and then all the scientists in the world will point and laugh because
you forgot to wear pants to the ceremony and all your teeth exploded
and also your final exam is in fifteen minutes and you forgot to study
and everyone knows it because your NMR shows that the only cramming
you've done lately is Jar Jar! And then you fall from a great height and
forget to die after you wake up, so you accidentally become immortal
and you have Jar Jar lodged in your innards for all eternity. And no teeth.

A gun that dribbles little blue pellets isn't Kibological?
Winning a Nobel Peace Prize for NO REASON isn't Kibological?
The fact that you had all these dreams at work isn't Kibological?

Every article I post *is* a perfectly balanced binary tree, at least
if it's not a followup to any other article. But then it gets ruined
if people don't post exactly two followups. Then I get upset and
start making plans for my secret project to post article <11...@kibo.com>
with References: <22...@kibo.com> <33...@kibo.com> and each of them
references the other two articles, making the article tree a
Complete Graph and Part Of A Complete Breakfast and making all
the computers in the world explode as they diagram the thread:
[3]
/
[1]-[2]
/
[2]_ /[1]
/ [3]-[2]
[1]
\ _[1]-[2]
[3] \[3]
\
[2]-[1]
\

...only it wouldn't work that way because I drew it backwards and
inside out but rest assured that your computer WILL explode SOMEDAY,
once scientists discover the Internet's well-hidden self-destruct button.

Dear Kibo-
Please stop psoting your x-ray stomach contents of that new diet.
It is amazing that it even showed up on x-ray-wait, no it isnt.Thats diet
isnt x-ray immune.
I will get to work on an x-ray immune high fiber low bandpass diet pill.

I wacky-parsed this as the "klok bug." As in, "That bug kloked me pretty

Once upon a time, I ran over a cat on the highway.
It tore off the plastic louver from the bottom of the car.
When I looked in the rear view mirror,
I saw the cat break dancing.
