NSF GRFP

[weninger]

Yeah, tonight at 10:52 EST.

Congrats!

Now I guess I'm not going to bed tonight.

[denidzo]

Yeah, tonight at 10:52 EST.

Regarding the date, I don't know. The original awards went out on the 10th, so maybe they're using the same letter? I'm just totally psyched to have won.

Oh my god, congratulations! It's so nice to see one of the limboers get an award! Now I know I'm not sleeping tonight.

just.for.the.grfp, are you sure you're not getting punked by your friends again?

[dingaling]

Wow, congrats to you!!! How exciting!

Also, how strange that it is being sent out so late, right? And the website still shows 950 people... Hmmm.... :?:

True ... and I've decided I changed my mind, I'm not going to get excited. yeah, right, lol. If they're really coming out tonight, great. If not, oh well, we're used to that.

Get a clue guys, this isn't real. It's the same guy that did this three weeks ago with a shittier letter. If you get a letter from the NSF it will be dated with the correct date and everyone will get one. And it won't be this weekend. Go to bed.

Thanks Higgins. All of us poor new stalkers might otherwise have freaked the fuck out. Someday, the karmic defenders of graduate students will smite all those who do shit like just.for.the.grfp....or maybe they already have and that's why that poor bitter soul is trying to bait us.

It's stupid, gay behavior by people like just.for.grfp that really annoys me. Annoys me to the point of actually registering to say so. If you're going to troll the place, at least do so in a dignified manner, like that Friar Tuck dude.

There's no need for using "gay" as a pejorative.

[unclelurker]

agreed - i didn't know miss california applied to the grfp.

keep it dignified, or at least appropriate.

[BioChemGod]

There's no need to be hypersensitive on your alls part. And of all the things to point out, you point out that? Instead of, I don't know, everything that that just.for.grfp !&$%@# wrote?

[unclelurker]

you made a mistake in your word choice. and you are incorrect to say that your written words should be tolerated in comparison to other posts.

just.for.grpf sucks for jerking us around, but I agree that your language is immature, and frankly bothers me a lot more. find a more articulate adjective.

[just.for.the.grfp]

Hahahaha, you people are utterly pathetic. Hahahahaha. I laugh at your stupidity. Hahaha. I actually won back on the 10th, believe it or not (I bet you won't, but I don't give a $#!%).

Oh, and as my parting gift, here's a 'lil something for Bio God. Not that I agree with him (or her don't want to offend any of the hot babes here or anything), but

wow your life is sad

[just.for.the.grfp]

Not half as sad as yours, dearie.

[*****, *****]

I hope things get better for you, dude. I'm sad for you, too.

[dingaling]

Stop engaging with him/her, it is encouraging this behavior.

[*****, *****]

At least I got honorable mention. I'm the only one, too!

[just.for.the.grfp]

No, dear, you're just like everyone else here, with the sole exception of me. Someday you'll reach my level of being too. As a way of a hint, here's how:

argh. rampant douche baggery has taken over our lovely little corner of purgatory! first mr. "i supposedly won an award but have alienated everyone who actually knows me so i'll go annoy people online as practice for annoying my entire cohort, program, advisor, committee and department" and then, for a double-scoop, we get homopho-bro. what next, Ann Coulter's gonna show up to top off the sundae of super assholery with a cherry on top?

rant over. but it was fun! have a great weekend everyone. i'm going to go play in the ocean and "forget" about the NSF for a while.

[ChivPowers]

Wow -- guys -- we're all mature adults -- or aspiring to be. Yes, it was immature, mean, and just downright annoying that just.for.the.grfp dude posted his letter from the 10th. But hey just.for.the.grfp guy, you should be careful -- there are only 9 people in the field of Botany who got the grfp -- you're easily track-downable -- so you might not want to be making enemies.

Secondly, you guys are silly to be attacking someone for using the word "gay" in a way that has nothing to do with homosexuals. Come on, really? It's perfectly acceptible for someone to say "gay behavior" because at this point, it has an meaning that is COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY independent of anything having to do with being homosexual. Just because it's not PC, doesn't mean you have to overinterpret and personalize it.

I use "gay" as an adjective for obnoxious, weird, etc... but I'm NEVER referring to homosexuals in these instances.. I have absolutely and utterly NO PROBLEMS WITH GAY PEOPLE. My sister IS homosexual and she uses it in the same way. It's NOT a big deal. Why can't we all just accept the word "gay" to mean happy, homosexual, or obnoxious. If "bad" can sometimes mean "good" (and it does) , and sometimes mean "not good", then "gay" can have multiple meanings and uses too.

Now, that being said: Just.for.the.grfp, you are frickin' gay. Get a life. Support the folks who must endure this endless wait instead of laughing in their faces and taunting them. BTW- I'm surprised that someone with a kindergarteners maturity level won the grfp. I hope your award frees up your time so you can use it to get a mature grasp on life.

Good luck to everyone on here who is in LIMBO.
