graal

A post-apocalyptic wasteland, graal was once an illustrious world populated by people sitting around complaining and de facto noobs alike. The people who ran graal have subsequently all died, and graal is now sustained by its remaining players. Concentrated in rubbish new-age playerworlds attempting to mimc World of Warcraft, none of graals remaining players had been e-born in the start level, and subsequently joined a graal noob guild pre-2007. Graalians remain oblivious to their rich past due to graal classic being messed around with too many times, and also because they are more interested in trying to buy things via Mass PMs, an idiosyncratic phenomenon restricted to modernist-fail servers. Graal is run from an abandoned building with boarded up windows somewhere in France. At the topmost floor of this building, in a scarce, derelict room is the graal server, a large computer from the late 1990s plugged into a cracked paint-chipped wall. without the global staff the computer has fallen into insanity, creating accounts with names like graal83754 and hosting crap playerworlds. Next to the computer is the skeleton of once notorious manager Unixmad, sat in an old wooden chair and still in a moth-eaten sleezy suit and a pair of dust-covered dior shoes. On unixmads desk the aftermath of an uneaten chocolate croissant slowly grows. This mouldy croissant is destined to one day consume the server and graal will be no more, the remaining players will be disconnected forever and never get their money back. It is only a matter of time.

Person 1: Dude, lets play graal!

Person 2: No way, count me out, graal. . . man that's some dark stuff.

Person A: I'm a level 80 mage on WoW

Person B: You've never played graal so you're a noob.

Douchebag: you haven't played since 1998 so you're a noob.

Graalian: Graal Online is the only game where pking requires any skill

Non-Graalian: THIS IS 2D I HATE IT

Curmudgeon: Graal was so much better back in the day. . .

Garda Sicíní

The literal meaning of this Irish term is "Guardians of the Chicks" (or "chickens") and is used in Ireland to refer to the national police force Garda Síochána na hÉireann or the "Guardians of the Peace of Ireland". The term is somewhat pejorative and is used disparagingly if jokingly.

When we had the bomb scare the Garda Sicíní was everywhere standing around uselessly talking about Sunday's match at Croke Park.

Intellectual Grabass

When two people (especially egotistical smart people) flirt with each other using their intelligence to debate a scholarly issue.

An example of an instance of intellectual grabass would be:

Male professor: "Didn't you think Nietzsche's "Will to Power" was the most influencial work of its day?"

Female professor: "Heavens yes! Foucult, Sarte, and Camus would be utterly unispired without it."

grad school

Limbo; purgatory; a place where you waste the best years of your life apprenticing for the PhD guild.

THE BAD:
- endless homework
- potentially asshole professors
- little social life
- boring repetitive classes
- dull TA work
- shit pay
- you might end up in the middle of nowhere
- constant moving massacres relationships. Remember the girlfriend who left you because she couldn't take the long-distance relationship? Your friends? The family you see for 2 weeks per year? Better forget them... Easier that way.
- having to teach obscenely hot 18 year olds without being able to touch them
- leads to frigidity and involuntary abstinence
- it's 4am. You went to class between 9 and 12. You ate pretzels for lunch, then you graded for 4 hours. Then you wrote homework. Now your eyes are bleeding and you have the urge to cut.
- once (if) you graduate, you have to move again, in order go to post-doc, which is the same as grad school except you get a few bucks more and you write fewer pages of homework
- incipient alcoholism

THE GOOD:
- incipient alcoholism
- easy ticket to the first world for talented third worlders
- easy ticket to a big city if you luck out
- you can really slack away if you play your cards right
- 3+ months of vacation
- sort of intellectual
- beats the fucking 9 to 5. You're making 40K working 40 hours a week with 2 weeks vacation? In grad school people can make ~20K with ~10 hours of work per week and 3 months vacation. You do the math.

I decided to go to grad school... Sure, I don't have a girlfriend... Or a car... And my friends from my old city have all but forgotten me... And I write 40 pages of homework per week... And the hot students I teach are driving me insane... And the old professor fucks are raping me at every opportunity... And I'm on a first name basis with the liquor store owner... But goddamn, at least I'm not in the 9 to 5! Yesterday, Wednesday the 12th, I slept until 1pm and then I watched 3 movies, played games for 4 hours, and drank 14 beers. Tomorrow, on Friday, I'll do the same. In a month it'll be summer again and I'll fly home to see my friends and get a nice tan... I used to think about graduation, but that was 2 years ago.
Yeah...
