The Hangout....where sanity is overrated.

[Ryuuhou]

Akahoshi - you mean YAY for nothing? xd

There's always something wrong (or morally disturbing) with either Lang or ADs sig >.>

Ash - I suppose this is your 7th life? 7th time's a charm!!!!  

[Memai-kins]

Everyone tripping on Lang = hillarious xd

You guys need professional help...seriously ninja

AD >>Perhaps there should be a little art party for me and Shiro's wedding whee

Oh, we do NOT need help... xd ... ninja

You think? Wedding art isn't really my forte.  

[Valandal]

well for the reception it would be a good place for an art thingy biggrin  

[Valandal]

Shiro Harukaze

why wouldn't we trip on Lang?! xd she's our heart -able Trip Kiddie! whee

o_o;;; art//wedding party?

heart -able?
more like twisted -able  

[Abandoned Dreams]

What's all this Trip Kiddie s**t?  

[T H I N N]

Memai>> So the Memai/Koi Shiro/jenna dual wedding is back on? Joygasm! 3nodding

Art party, huh? I'd have to figure out how to transfer drawn pictures from my computer to the computer that will be on the net back home while trying to keep up with posts. Or just do a few collabrative pictures and post them at another time. whee xd

Special help? I'd suffice with getting Special K! Plus, there's no need:
M3Y M0M S3Z IM SP3SHUL!11!

AD>> xd Potato sig...you silly, genius goose biggrin

Ryuuhou>> Indeed! It is either my seven life or its just my seventh lot in life, which comes after the sixth lot which is...

something sweatdrop  

[Valandal]

would agreeing that she can be twisted -able be provokeing her?
(night all)  

[Abandoned Dreams]

Ashram - You're just jealous of my goose brilliance.

Shiro - I'm a bit stressed from finals, which is probably why I'm being so vindictive. I don't, however, think that taking Lang's inside joke is funny. Not everything she puts on the internet is for our amusement. I don't know what Trip Kiddie means, and chances are you don't, either. That's a pretty good sign that you shouldn't use it. Ok?  

[T H I N N]

AD>> And why shouldn't I be!? wink

Oh, by the way, I got off my butt and started reading IC II. It's interesting to see all the members of GASOC put into a story. 3nodding  

[Abandoned Dreams]

You don't have to read it standing up, you know...

Anyways, on with the reading.

While sitting in my chair.

According to G.L. Cohen, author of Studies in Slang Part 1 (1985), the phrase smart alec(k) arose from the exploits of one Alec Hoag. A celebrated pimp, thief, and confidence man operating out of New York City in the 1840's, Mr. Hoag, along with his wife Melinda and an accomplice known as "French Jack," operated a con called the "panel game," a method by which prostitutes and their pimps robbed foolish customers. See www.wordwizard.com/ askww/foundaskww.asp?num=342.

A search of several of the more reliable dictionaries pretty much confirms this definition. The Oxford English Dictionary traces it to mid-1860s slang, while the American Heritage Dictionary (4th ed., 2000) and Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (16th ed., 1999) tentatively trace the etymology of the phrase to Hoag.

The "panel game" consisted of sliding walls that would enable Mr. Hoag to sneak in whilst the mark was sleeping and steal valuables. Before Mr. Hoag, a prostitute's accomplices would wait until the mark was asleep, then burst into the room. But the marks got wise and would block the door with a table or chair propped up under the doorknob, thinking they would then be safe from intruders. "Smart" Alec Hoag, because he never woke the victim, would be on the other side of town before the rube even knew what had happened.
