House of EPIC

The following accounts are approximately as random as we are. A few parts arts and a few parts sciences, this is our house: the House of EPIC. Would you like to stay for dinner? We made spaghetti.

Baby, we have chemistry!


Becuase math lines while convincing are not fool proof. If you really want to score a date, use chemistry!

Really Awesome Cheesy Math Pick-up Lines!!!

How can I know so many hundreds of digits of pi and not the 7 digits of your phone number?

Since distance equals velocity times time, let's let velocity and time approach infinity, because I want to go all the way with you.

I am equivalent to the Empty Set when you are not with me.

I don’t like my current girlfriend. Mind if I do a you-substitution?

Hey, baby want to Squeeze my Theorem while I poly your nomial?

Hey...nice asymptote.

I don't know if you're in my range, but I'd sure like to take you back to my domain.

Your beauty cannot be spanned by a finite basis of vectors.

Honey, you're sweeter than pi.

If you were sin x and I was cos x, then together we'd make one.

Battle Scene (TRD Part 7)

I didn't want to traumatize anyone so here's a nice, soothing self-portrait:
cool places = anywhere that sells novel or unusual foods.

squeegee = 1. old, ragged, not highly valued (usually clothes/shoes) 2. those really awesome
sponge thingys

shindiggythingy = meeting, event, party, etc.

thingything = whatchamacallit

semi- (i.e. semi-arbitrary) = sometimes, for the most part

savez = from the french "savez-vous?" which means "you know?". The original ancestor of
"savvy" before those English bastards bastardized it.

inane = meaningless. not to be confused with "insane"

comments = often cryptic, usually meaningless words spouted seemingly at random. frequently
intended to provoke a specific reaction.

Margin Text: The battle scene was deemed too traumatic. Here is a picture of a cat.

TRD Part 6

I have two words for you: Epic. Battle.

weird = high praise. normal is boring.

normal = a rare, possibly fictitious breed of human with magical powers over social norms. No
sightings have been reliably documented, and all attempts at breeding one in captivity have
failed.

sailor = one who drinks, swears, and messes about in boats. particularly adept at doing all 3 at
once. see also "pirate".

boat = just remember, your bed is one.

Summon The Celt! TRD Part 5

He has a really big...well, you know.

uh oh = some shit's about to go down.

oops = don't look at it, maybe it will magically fix itself! not to be confused with "opps"

don't be hatin = see "I don't wanna hear it"

LIES! = 1. FALSEHOODS! 2. UNTRUTHS! 3. FALLACIES! 4. PURPOSEFUL
MISCONCEPTIONS!

neither here nor there = 1. important but irrelevant 2. experiencing a time-space paradox

snarfed = ate quickly and without finesse

with avec much skill and finesse = the only way to accomplish anything. exacto knives are
optional.

loser = an affectionate nickname

Margin Text: I may be wearing a skirt, but I have a really BIG AXE.

Ninja Dude Returns (TRD Part 4)

Who is that mysterious dude climbing up the side of the page?
shadowflash = Rachel's personal insignia. Also her most common online alias.

random = 1. apparently illogical 2. ulterior motives 3. refrigerator says what?

question mark? = I am confused. Please elaborate.

nomnomnom = 1. sound made when in the process of eating 2. the mating cry of Rachel

lad/lass = archaism which Rachel tends to slip into when stressed. sometimes accompanied by a
faint celtic accent.

Piracy At The End Of The World (TRD Part 3)

You know the drill.
pirate = 1. YARR!!! 2. the Hubbard clan 3. an excuse to be loud, obnoxious, crude, daring, get in
people's faces, drink a lot, and sing at the top of your lungs at 2 AM on your way back
from the ghetto. also see "sailor"

I love (object or idea) = I like it a lot and think about it frequently.

I love you = no translation available

mmm = noncommittal sound of acknowledgment. I heard you, but I'm probably not going to do
anything about it.

grrr = now would be a good time for you to leave.

(low rumbling noise) = either frustration or contentment, depending on context.

clan = conglomeration of friends, acquaintances, and extended family, usually based around a
biological/unbiological family.

Margin Text: salmon.

The Rachel Dictionary, Part 2

Since I have crappy handwriting, the text is replicated below the image.

legit = imate
gank, ganked, ganking, ganker = steal, stole, stealing, thief. not to be confused with "shank".

I don't wanna talk about it = seriously, drop it already

please stop = I'm *this* close to violently freaking out so please, please, PLEASE stop what you're doing.

I don't wanna hear it = 1. yeah, yeah, whatever 2. details, details

details = 1. removed tails 2. those little annoying things I hate 3. (sarcasm)

Margin Text: Interrupting Cow is interrupting your reading.


An Epic Is Born...Or Two.

So I was really, really bored at work the other day (hey, it's not my fault I'm super efficient) and I decided to begin the Rachel Dictionary in order to enlighten people who are frequently confused by my phraseology. I doodled in the margins while I tried to remember all those important Rachelisms, and thus was Ninja Dude born. Therefore, without further ado, I give you:
The Rachel Dictionary:
Long Words, Short Words, and Non-words.

HUNGRY! = my stomach's talking to my backbone, where the f*** is my food?

hungryhungryhungry = I am now focused entirely on the prospect of food. If you want me to pay attention, feed me.

hungry, I am = I am going to eat your food. This is your last chance to hide the crack brownies/chex mix.

I don't eschew obfuscation = I like big words.

floccinaucinihilipilification = the estimation of something as valueless.

ness = stuff

arbitrary = 1. random 2. aesthetic 3. insignificant

ninja = n. the Hubbard clan v. 1. to sneak 2. to

Challenge...

Here's another challenge inspired by Sarah's!

It's from "Sideways Arithmetic from Wayside School", one of my favorite books when I was a kid!
(Yes, I used to be a math nerd before turning to the art side)

elf
+ elf
______
fool


Each letter stands for a digit. So, what do e, l, f, and o stand for?

Challenge...

If...
2 + 3 = 10
7 + 2 = 63
6 + 5 = 66
8 + 4 = 96

what does 9 + 7 = ????


a math challenge given to me via email. the answer was the code to open an excel file with names of everyone who solved it. decently impressive. i needed a break from homework, this is what i do....

The meaning of EPIC

What exactly is EPIC?

EPIC is:

Excellence
Professionalism
Innovation
Creativity

In other words, the house of EPIC is just that: epic.
