his name is ian, and i want you to be aware that the bright spray of color on the right side of the sock is actually a parrot that he made out of feathers and cloth. it was the most brilliant parrot i’d ever seen. plus there was a huge technical discussion over tri-corner hats and isosceles triangles which was pretty amusing.
um. i don’t think gene was. wasn’t the isosceles thing about the 2 sides being equal? cause gene wasn’t on board with that. admittedly, i wasn’t really paying too much attention as i was conserving all my faculties to contemplate how i would soon be singing portions of the buffy musical.
No, see, isoceles triangles CAN have two sides equal. So that’s fine. Ian needed an equilateral triangle, which can’t have two sides equal but Gene was trying to convince him that it could.
dude i suck at math but even i know an equilateral triangle is one where ALL THREE sides are equal. whereas the isoceles triangle has at least 2 sides of equal length. i looked it up and the internet agrees: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/EquilateralTriangle.html
it seems to me a tricorner hat would be one of the two options …
holy bejeezus! i remembered geometry. and hey, do you guys remember “sohcahtoa” (for sine, cosine, and tangent)?? it’s all coming back. does this mean i’m going to rock the GRE’s?
please say yes,

(and thanks for the heads up on the mystery pirate, Ian. i’m glad to hear he hand-crafted a parrot, as well. that’s mighty YARRRRR, matey.)
did you used to come up with different words for sohcahtoa? because we totally did. the one offered by geometry teachers was something about horses i think.

marina says this makes no sense, but i say that marina has just not grasped the finer points of necromancy. and zombies. and brain eating.
That looks like fantastic fun!
I’m sorry to have missed your party of puppetry.
But happy birthday, beautiful girl.
I hope your 25th year is marked by special events!
marked: thanks!
So, uh, hi. yeah, here i come lurking ifrom the shadows to tell you that I liked this picture: http://eloise.cementhorizon.com/gallery/kristens-25th-birthday-sock-puppet-party/Kristens_25th_Sock_Puppet_Party_210026 (sorry I don’t know how to do pics for the replies) so much that I made it the background on my computer at home. i don’t even have the faintest idea who that guy is but i dig the picture. Yarrr, I’m a pirate. over and out.
lurking back into the shadows,

It was equilateral triangles, not isoceles triangles, that were the big problem. We were all on board the isoceles concept just fine, I think.

Gasfgkdjfh! I am aghast at my own mistake!
I meant right angle. Honest, I did. Gene was trying to convince Ian to put a right angle in his equilateral triangle.

subsequent IM conversation between michele and marina:
fogfly: what does it mean to obtain habeas corpus?
marinadgreen: a writ that calls someone before a judge
fogfly: oh..i thought it was to have a body
fogfly: in, you know, the latin
marinadgreen: right, but that’s not what it means
fogfly: but that’s what it MEANS
marinadgreen: whatever
fogfly: right now, right this second, i love you so much
fogfly: (pretending to be marina) whatever
marinadgreen: i know. its hard not to sometimes
end result:
sushi obtains habeas corpus against hasty teachers of acronyms
i’m bummed that no one seems to appreciate our hard work from last night.
well if you cry about it, you can be dianna.
endive? whatever.
