Artful Badger said...

Divster said...

Self Writeous said...

The last 3 posts of yours had 23 comments each. The "Random" post marked the beginning of an Order of sorts ... Irony eh?!!

doppelganger said...

(yawn)

Artful Badger said...

[all those macho dudes whose names i will not mention] I bet you aren't doing it because you cannot do it!! :D After living for 23 odd years you still haven't identified what you like and what you don't he he...Kind of bad considering that we are a race that prides itself on it's ability to survive.

Anonymous said...

hey how abt my blog ;)...well i was posted the link to the IIT K "suicide"...was quite relevant to what u had said uh...

Artful Badger said...

[anon] sure..but who are you??...you forgot to leave your name..

Artful Badger said...

[divster] yes..i know that..that is exactly why i brought up their names!
[HoH] yeah..it's suprising..never noticed that..knew they were around 20 but never realized they were 23...

Artful Badger said...

OK OK...I give up...
Due to the public outrage that has resulted I shall make option 'Tag' strictly optional..

Artful Badger said...

..Oh thats ok..I don't minding failing occasionally..As they say failure is the stepping stone to success :D..
I hate cheap beer...but good beer can be very nice !...

Artful Badger said...

No no..not like that!!...I was just referring to the F!!

Prashanth said...

Hey, I didn't actually say whether I would do it or not... I was just curious to know whether you thought I would do it or not!!

Artful Badger said...

I think not!! :D...Oh well...No one likes to do tags..have you done the 55 word story?..thats a good one actually..

Prashanth said...

Oh yes... on a burst of inspiration, I wrote a palindromic 55 word story. It's on Kirthi's comments section, just before her sheep story :)

Artful Badger said...

yeah..i remember...the sheep story was interesting though i didn't remember it fully...intern too..

Artful Badger said...

palindromic...hmm...how??? 55 words of palindrome..

Artful Badger said...

Body powerless, mind in hypnotic trance; I get a strong sense of a "chosen-one" for a revelation. My internal-eyes open as the writings, words, messages become clearer; of a rare-breed of human: intelligent yet inquisitive, pampered yet humble, young with wisdom of a sage; not an alien : he's my very dear ... ZOMBIE!!!
Intern

Prashanth said...

Oh yes... do ignore Intern's attempts at embarrassing me :)

My story was:

"Eureka", exclaimed he...
Though he was tired, how wonderful it felt! He sensed he was near the close... Not far, really...

"How?!"

Realized he, then, one massive error. Massive one!

Then, he realized how really far, not close the "near" was. He sensed, he felt, it. Wonderful. How tired was he, though he exclaimed, "Eureka".

---

And of course, don't forget the moral of the story: VC, as is, is a CV.

mo said...

Haha ...

Artful Badger said...

ok a long overdue reply to comments..
[moz] hey moz!! you are welcome to do it! Do you want me to link you?
[prashanth] heh..i was wondering...her eulogy was followed by an embarrassed SP..
Yes it is palindromic...hmm...how do you make it palindromic??
..I am going to be pretty busy till next week....till I get back to............INDIA!

Artful Badger said...

Error is the middle of the palindrome..:D..

Prashanth said...

What are you doing awake at this ungodly hour? Go go back to sleep...

India AGAIN? Man, you're rich!! Why don't you buy a flight ticket for me while you're at it?

And, yes indeed, at the center of the story is "error" :) thats really hilarious, if you think about it metaphorically!!
