Another startling discovery from those wacky guys down at the Idunnoworyutalkabout University. Under the expert guidance of Professor M A Kemup a research team has had exclusive access to my wannabe friends list. They have discovered that if you are (allegedly) Indian, male and under 25 you are more likely to give yourself a "majestic" sounding name - IAMTH1 for example. If you are North American, female and over 35 you are more likely to have a sensible, no nonsense name - Momcopes perhaps. If you are in the former British Empire less Asia, you are likely to give yourself a name that reflects who you are - Sherbertdibdab. Are you a graduate of the university? What crazy, pointless research did you achieve?

I don't fit any of that. I'm an American mom of 55 that loves dragons.
What possible benefit did that research give us? Maybe they should research the researchers and try to discover why they study such pointless things!

I know what you mean, and I've gotten to the point where I don't want to accept those young males from certain parts of the world, because they mostly seem to want to talk about making money.
well, making money is fine, but that's NOT why I'm here - I'm here to talk to people, and get to know people around the world

The "study" pretty much hit the nail on the head with me!

Is that UCF? My daughter just got a postcard from there. I wondered if I'd want her to go to college in such a busy city!
Ironic coming from someone living in Miami right?
She's chosen another school in a smaller town.

Ohhh. Her friends aren't necessarily going to school in Orlando, right?
Are they coming for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal? I'm trying to decide if I want to do that or not, and if so, I'm trying to figure out if we can afford it!
And I KNEW that this was one of your spoof discussions. lol I looked for it after your other discussion.

This is an example of one of my spoof discussions. Be pleased that you are not in Orlando. It's Fall Break and my daughter's university friends are descending on the city! She's staying in to catch up on her sleep and work!!! Something not quite right there I think. LOL.

He he he, what about if you're born during the "BER" months your name should end with "BER" like Ember, Alver, Clymber, Anoneber, Aldeber, December, September, November, okay enough, what about May, Jun, April , Jan, July, I think almost all of the name of months are also people's names.

No P1key I am happy to say that I have not gone to this University so nor have I graduated from it, But for the record I can give you a bit of TRUE information about my youth and you will probably think that Those Highly Intelligent Einsteins that thought this one up Must Have, in fact, graduated from Some class of the famous Idunnoworyutalkabout University!
I was born in the U.S.A., and from my heritage have a lot of Native American blood running through my body. When I was somewhere between 4 and 5 years old the Native American Council Decided that I should Not be living on the "outside" but rather on a reservation because of the percentage of Native American blood that I had and when my parents refused to move there was a huge fight between the Council, my parents and the U.S. Government as to Not take me away from my parents.
So it seems to me that the Idunnoworyutalkabout University is all over the World and not only in the United Kingdom!
Oh! And by the way...my parents won the "Battle of the Little Big Girl"!!!

I think HiaGreeneyedlady would have been a very nice Native American name for me...ESPECIALLY since you have seen fit to call me that P1key, you know how I love and respect You!!!
As far as arguing over me and not my parents. They were of legal age and no one could really make them do anything at the time that they were fighting for me. They grew up during the Great Depression and WWII and during those times things were not only hard but money was sparse among all people all over the World so the Native American Council had better things to do, like try to feed the people that they already had on their reservations, rather than add people of a certain percentage of blood, which both of my parents fell under, to their burden. But by the time they were fighting for me, it was many years later and times and money had changed!!! As Stupid as it sounds!
You Want and Fight for your people when times are good and when times are bad, you don't fight or recognize them...way of the World!

Still a student in the university of life. In a survey I had no time to conduct, I concluded that a lot of money is wasted on researching the pointless and the beeping obvious.

hi pikey nope not of that university or I don't think I am. I did graduate from the U of California Irvine at the ripe age of 56 and if you don't think that was a tough row to hoe you haven't seen anything yet. I stuck out like a sore thumb along side all the young ones, but I did pretty well at that graduated with a b average so that was okay. but you know what unless you want to teach which I did not, a BA in English will just about buy you a cup of coffee. all I ever really wanted to do was to write. So all I really achieved was how to write term papers about some things I liked and a lot of stuff I could have cared less about.
he he he.oh and one course in criticism of English literature.I only came up with a c as I just did not care a whit about that at all. It seemed meaningless to me. I really did not care how one older author compared in dry worn out thoughts to another with different thoughts, now maybe if I had been going to teach English in a high school it might have mattered to me, but that was never my goal.

Well I have to say that the research fits me OK. As a colonial, I named myself what I am, and now I've even found an avatar to fit.
The most useless bit of research information I have come up with is what I call the Japanese nipple. In a concentrated research program which required me to sit through endlessly boring and distasteful hours of looking at gorgeous, sultry, naked women, I discovered that about 90% of Japanese women fitting the above description have nipples the size of the end joint of my thumb, while only about 10% of Western women do, the remainder primarily having nipples the size of one of the larger pimples I used to get as a teenager. Negro women appear to be Japanese by default, but the sample size in their case is possibly too small to draw conclusions, since they mostly seem to be too well brought up to pose for naked boobie shots (where is Monty when we need her?). The jury is still out on Eastern European women.
