ROCKY HORROR FREAK CODE -- Version 1.01
By Arthur Levesque -- b...@boog.org -- http://boog.org
Suggested by Mistress Frank -- mmef...@ix.netcom.com
Inspired by the Geek Code and its many offspring
Including this code in your .sig, .plan, homepage, or tattoo
on your butt is a good way of communicating with other Rocky Horror
freaks exactly what kind of freak you are, and vice versa. Find
out how many times they've seen the show, what parts they play, if
they've ever seen the infamous censored Brad/Riff buttfuck scene,
and so on... The RHF code consists of several sections, each with
a letter and various qualifiers. By stringing all of them together,
you can make your overall RHF code which is all other RHF's need
to find out what kind of freak you are...
Rocky Horror Freak Code Version
The first element of the code is "RHFC" followed by the version
number. In this case, it would be RHFC1.01
Variables
For those things which are approximate, changing, imprecise, or
just no one else's damned business, there are a variety of
variables that can be used in each section. These are mostly the
standard variables used in the Geek, Goth, Animaniacs!, and other
net Codes...
@ This indicates that the said trait is not very rigid and may
change with time or with individual interaction; used directly
after a number, it indicates that the number is an
approximation. "V500@" indicates that the freak has seen
Rocky Horror about 500 times.
+- Pluses and minuses are used frequently to mark things that you
like or don't like (such as playing certain parts) or things
which are frequent or infrequent (like surfing RHPS web sites).
> This character indicates 'wannabe' ratings; for instance, IW>&
means that you want to have your own Rocky web page, or P>B
means that you want to play Brad.
? The character, placed after the code it modifies, indicates a
lack of knowledge about the topic. For instance, "VS?"
indicates someone who has never seen "Shock Treatment".
! This character, placed BEFORE the code it modifies, indicates a
refusal to participate in this category. This is different from
the "?" variable, as "VS?" indicates someone who has never seen
"Shock Treatment" but "V!S" indicates someone who REFUSES to
watch "Shock Treatment".
Viewings
# - Number of times viewed. If there is no number (or other
variable) provided, then "V" is assumed to stand for Virgin.
Use "@" with a number for an approximation, or use the
exclamation point if you don't know or care and think that
people who do keep track should get a life
M# - Masturbator (seen it on Video/TV) -- most people really
don't care how many times you've seen it on the small
screen except for other virgins). Use the exclamation
point here if you want to indicate that you refuse to
watch hacked-up RHPS broadcasts.
S# - Number of times seeing Shock Treatment in the theater. If
you've only seen it on video, just put an S with no number.
An exclamation point before the "S" indicates that you
refuse to watch it (at all, or ever again); a question
mark after the "S" merely indicates that you haven't seen
it YET.
R - If you've read "Revenge of the Old Queen" (put an
exclamation point in front of the "R" if you have
not only specifically declined to read ROTOQ but think
that no one else should either)
I would be V500@!MS6R
Performances
# - Number of times performed. You can specify a total number
(modifiers apply) or break it out into how many times you've
played individual characters (it's not necessary to provide
the number of times each character has been played AND a
total). The letter codes below can be used without numbers
merely to list which characters you do or don't play.
B# - Brad
J# - Janet
R# - RiffRaff
M# - Magenta
C# - Columbia
F# - Frank
H# - Rocky Horror
E# - Eddie
D# - Dr. Scott
W# - Criminologist (the "W" is for "Where's your fucking neck?")
T# - Transylvanian
O# - Other (Trixie, Richard Nixon, whatever)
* - Indicates that you play all parts
S# - Shock Treatment parts played
P# - Pre-show performances
+ - put this directly after the letter(s) of your favorite parts
- - put directly after the letter(s) of your least favorite parts
L# - how many different locations you've performed in
Y# - how many years you've been performing
& - indicates that you are currently a member of a cast (or
casts); two ampersands in a row mean that your cast is even
lucky enough to have a theater.
I guess I'd be P*B+@R+@W-SPL16Y8@& right now (I've played every
character, but I don't keep count so I couldn't give you a number
for any of them... And my favorite characters to play are
currently Brad and Riff, but that changes over time). The
sixteen locations is an off the top of my head guess; I'm sure
I'm forgetting some.
Conventions
# - Number of conventions attended. The letter codes below
indicate actual characters performed at a convention.
B# - Brad
J# - Janet
R# - RiffRaff
M# - Magenta
C# - Columbia
F# - Frank
H# - Rocky Horror
E# - Eddie
D# - Dr. Scott
W# - Criminologist (the "W" is for "Where's your fucking neck?")
T# - Transylvanian
O# - Other (Trixie, Richard Nixon, whatever)
* - Indicates that you've played a variety of parts
S# - Shock Treatment parts played
P# - Pre-show performances
& - Indicates that you/your cast have organized conventions.
Offhand, I guess I'd be C10@*SP right now...
Internet
F# - FTP sites or file archives. An ampersand indicates that
you have an archive (WWW or FTP); the truly geeky can
provide a number of hits (use the various qualifiers as
necessary). Add a plus sign if you spend a lot of time
surfing RHPS sites, or a hyphen if you very rarely do so.
W# - World Wide Web. All modifiers from "F" above apply.
Two ampersands in a row indicate that your site is part
of the Rocky Horror Web Ring.
N - The Rocky Horror newsgroup (alt.cult-movies.rocky-horror).
A plus sign indicates that you are very active; a minus
sign indicates that you mainly lurk.
C - Chat. All modifiers from "N" above apply.
My code here would be IW&&F&&-N+!C ...I have a web site with
a number of files (binary and text) available for download;
I don't spend much time at FTP sites, I'm active on the
newsgroup, and I don't do IRC.
Memorabilia
C# - How many characters do you have a full costume for?
B# - How many Rocky Horror related books (including the
comic books) do you have? (Feel free to use the
plus sign to indicate "a lot" for any of these.)
R# - How many RHPS/RHS/ST recordings (vinyl, cassette, CD)
do you have?
V# - How many different Rocky Horror (and Shock Treatment)
videotapes/laserdiscs do you have?
O# - Other: trading cards, bumper stickers, fanzines, posters,
buttons (here's where a minus for "a few" and a plus for
"a lot" really come in handy).
Put me down for MB-R+V-O- (I don't know offhand about the
costumes; most of my stuff is on loan to and in the possession
of my cast)
String them all together to get your Rocky Horror Freak Code.
Mine would be:
RHFC1.01 V500@!MS6R P*B+@R+@W-SPL16Y8@& C10@*SP IW&&F&&-N+!C
MB-R+V-O-
Any comments or suggestions so far?

I was thinking the same thing. Wouldn't just be easier to create a fill in
the blank post about 1 a month or once every 2 months. I do understand the
code but it's use with Rocky just doesn't work for me. I don't know...does
anyone else feel the same? Rather than sit and try to figure it out, I'm
going to give my brain a rest until something easier comes along or until
someone asks.

There are programs for creating and decoding the Geek Code and other
codes; once this one is finished, someone could write one.

I agree that we could just have a posting every month or two that we can
compare with each other on. With the code it not only takes you forever to
figure out your own, but I don't want to spend that long trying to figure out
anyone else's!!

Just as a program to encode a person's personal code would be simple
to write, a program to decode others' codes would not be much
harder.
You guys finish the code spec, and I'll see about writing an
encoder/decoder. -In my free time. :-)

Arthur, how about putting a space between each element of the

Actually, after seeing a code many times, it's possible to be able
to read it without trouble. I can read the Dragon code with no
problem (see my sig).

Spaces around everything would double the size. :-(

However, spaces around everything are standard in many codes
(even long ones), and make it much more possible to be read.
If I ever actually make mine, I will definitely put the spaces, as
a service to my fellow man. If you don't wanna, then don't.

I'm sorry I didn't mention the spaces (I figured it was pretty much
assumed); but you'll notice that my example DOES have spaces...

Hmm, I guess maybe I'm misunderstanding where the spaces are used?
Currently I thought they where just between sections (4 or 5 spaces
total) and not each argument (dozens).
The difference between:

T5@
Hmm, ok so it's not as much of a size increase as I thought (that's
what she said...), but I actually find the second form harder to
read. -BTW, the @ on the version is meant as being close but not
exactly to 1.01 spec (I've included my proposed Rocky starting year
(VY89 = started in 1989), and my proposed Denny's extentions, K# =
times kicked out, S# = silverware stolen, C# = mugs of coffee
normally taken, O{Order} = normal order (O{GS} would meen Grand
Slam, O{MOMH} for Moons Over My Hammy, etc), T# = time one normally
leaves).
Thoughts?

They should be between sections (4 or 5, until I add more
sections...) not arguments.
I saved your suggestions already. I'll definitely be working them

I believe that should be "INC" not "NC"... "I" indicates the

I don't see it taking more then an hour or two anyway, which is

Sure. It's all optional anyway. Maybe would should included

Professional? Do you mean sex professionally or you are a professional?
If you mean you are a professional as in "Tie/Suit" job what does that have to
do with sex?

"$", as in "pays $ for sex." Or, "receives $ for sex". It should
probably be noted as "$-" for the former and "$+" for the latter, and
"$*" if you do both. Maybe including your average costs/fees in ()
would be interesting too. And append "!" if that's your only source
