D-Man and IC25's Official NJexus HQ

[Барбоса]

What type of endeavors are they?

Trying to get an article or two published, looking into getting my thesis published (which will probably involve some rewrties/reconstruction) and I have been contracted to write a book.

 

[D-Man]

Tell me about the thesis and book!

 

[Sparky]

Well the thread name worked... Kind of wished It didn't...

 

[Барбоса]

Thesis is 82,000 words on 320+ pages entitled "Late Roman Recruiting Practices" and virtually consumed 3 years of my life. Loved writing every word of it though.

The book is focused on the final fight between the Roman and Persian Empires in the first quarter of the seventh century and then the subsequent defeat of both by the rising tide of Islam.

 

[D-Man]

Hahahahaha, that was the whole idea Sparks. I didn't want to come off too desperate.

Did I?

Your intelligence borders me on jealousy. I admire people who can write like that.

I write a decent thread on here and I start doing back flips. You write BOOKS. There's no comparison.

 

[Барбоса]

You write BOOKS. There's no comparison.

The lack of anything being published tempers this somewhat. At the moment, I write inefficient ways of holding open a door

Your work seems a bit more complex than that.

 

[Mustang Sally]

Sally, my dear... WELCOME!!

How are you doing on this fine, Tuesday morning? (It's Tuesday, right?)

I can confirm with complete assurance that it's Tuesday.

Just finished working a dumb damn dang double shift.....and now I'm too tired to do anything but post on a wrestling forum.

Life is a cabaret, old chum.

Hence why I said "inefficient"

Until it is published or gets me a full time job, it is of no real use to me except as a pride-inducing draft-excluder

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Wait...was this and D-Man's thread fused?

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Press Release:

IC25 and D-Man have announced the official merger of their respective threads - D-Man's personal thread and the ICE Thread. With the growth and expansion of the NJexus and the development of JGlass as a forum leader and mentor in his own respect, the time was right to make the move.

The current title of the thread is a "working title," but you all get the gist of it.

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Also, FunKay, congrats on 1,000 posts my friend.

 

[Барбоса]

So this is now DIC-Man's thread?

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Hahaha, not exactly. This is still a major ICE safehouse, and a spot for ICE members to come and post their threads to generate activity and ask questions.

Fact is, a lot of times the ICE thread became a spot where a lot of NJX activity was posted / discussed, and the original Jersey Triad members (IC, NorCal, D-Man) were having three different discussions in three different threads. This was both annoying and served to derail other discussion.

FunKay, Myriad, etc. are still a massive part of this thread's fabric. ICE isn't going anywhere, it's just been placed with another group. Small corporate merger, if you will.

Well you could have done what my Dad did and write your PhD thesis while maintaining a full time job as department head at a school and having three schoolage kids. But I wouldn't reccomend it. Especially if you decide to do what he did after and develop a degenerative neuronal disease. I REALLY can't reccomend that.

 

[Барбоса]

So it's a frat house now?

Thank you very much. It came with the following:

I went to a toga party once, fucking time of my life.

It makes me all tingly inside to see IC call me a forum leader and mentor.

Also, I <3 D-Man, but by criticizing a Facebook staple he asked for this response.

Couldn't have said it better, myself.

No, seriously... I couldn't have.

A Facebook staple?

 

[JGlass]

Posting song lyrics.

 

[D-Man]

That's a "staple" on Facebook?

Staple or not, it makes no sense to me.

"Only a Master of Evil Darth" and "Your Powers are Weak Old Man!" are two of my favourite film lines.
