Ramius Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 What is Holcombian evolution? Roll a die until you roll a 3.5, then everything will become clear. And yes, i am being serious.
Bungee Jumper Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 What is Holcombian evolution? Spore. A mix of Darwin and M.C. Escher as told by Lewis Carrol.
Orton's Arm Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 "Holcombian evolution" is a catch-phrase invented by people too ignorant (or too dishonest) to admit that the evolutionary forces I've been describing are Darwinian. If you selectively breed for a trait, the next generation will have a greater preponderance of that trait. Over the course of a number of generations, selective breeding or natural selection can turn one species into an entirely different one. At present, stupid people are having more children than are smart people. We are selectively breeding for stupidity. I refuse to blind myself to the Darwinian implications of that fact, which is why I'm being accused of creating a new theory.

Orton's Arm Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Anyone else convinced Holcomb's Arm comes from a very large family? Anyone else convinced Tom is full of himself?
Ramius Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Anyone else convinced Holcomb's Arm comes from a very large family? Yup, i also picture his dad tucked away in a basement, "Beautiful Mind" style, desperately trying to roll a 3.5 on a die.
EC-Bills Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 What is Holcombian evolution?Spore. It's a theory like no other that this world never seen before. Theory has it that HA knows more about everything by quoting wikipedia and other sources (without actually understanding what he is quoting about). Established scientists or those versed in math or simple statistics do not possess the necessary intellect to appreciate the genius know as Holcombs Arm.
John Adams Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Anyone else convinced Tom is full of himself? Even Tom knows this. You've obviously not seen one of Gavin's license plate posts.
DC Tom Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Anyone else convinced Tom is full of himself? Is anyone not? Hell, people don't call me a pedantic supercilious anal orifice for nothing...
EC-Bills Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Is anyone not? Hell, people don't call me a pedantic supercilious anal orifice for nothing... I really wish they would stop putting you up on a pedestal. That's a lot pressure for one person to bear.
DC Tom Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 That's a lot pressure for one person to bear. It's just another measure of my greatness that I handle it so well...
Ramius Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Is anyone not? Hell, people don't call me a pedantic supercilious anal orifice for nothing... Always have to be the elistist, huh? Throwing big words and such. I'll stick to being called an "arrogant ****". (hell, later on, my girlfriend told me that i came across as that when we first met)

A post like this will get you seven free oral sex sessions from Ramius, but only four from the more stingy Bungee Jumper. BJ only does a so-so job at living up to his name . . . Edit: Ramius is using your post in his sig. That means you're getting a bonus of at least two sessions above and beyond what I mentioned earlier. If you're really persuasive, you can probably wheedle him into giving you a bonus of three.

Not me. I'm too busy spreading my mathematical propaganda...
Orton's Arm Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Not me. I'm too busy spreading my mathematical propaganda... So that's your excuse for being stingy with oral sex! But if Ramius's mood is any indication, your oral sex ability . . . leaves a little something to be desired. What's your excuse for that?
DC Tom Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 So that's your excuse for being stingy with oral sex! But if Ramius's mood is any indication, your oral sex ability . . . leaves a little something to be desired. What's your excuse for that? Absolutely no practice whatsoever. Although your budding obsession with it is...unseemly...
Orton's Arm Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Absolutely no practice whatsoever. I'll accept that excuse. And I'll add that in all probability, Ramius's private parts probably don't give you a whole lot to work with.
DC Tom Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I'll accept that excuse. And I'll add that in all probability, Ramius's private parts probably don't give you a whole lot to work with. Credit where credit is due: that was a pretty good one.
