Crazy religious Guy

Monday, March 5th, 2012

So I was at a McDonalds the other day and saw this guy doing some pretty OCD stuff.  I of course immediately got on twitter and started live reporting what I saw for about an hour.  Here are the tweets, plus a pic and a video :)

Wow, the guy is seriously into his article making. I just made out the work ‘satan’ in Korean. It’s like right out of a Hollywood film!

I got a vid of it, but stupid Android hardwires uploads only for wifi…. # (Sigh, I think I deleted it by accident, ah well)

I’m hanging around out of curiosity. This is truly bizarre #

It’s like watching a scrapbooking reality TV show. #

There are all kinds of handwritten notes in his bible. It is well used. #

I can make out ?????, translates to “knoweth the son” on the writing he is adding #

Wow, the article he has pasted to a plain piece of paper title is ??? “bullshit” #

Now he back to looking in the bible #

I saw a pic of some white guys. I could make out one of them with a cross on a necklace. He did look kinda evil, in a Tim Burton Santa way #

If anyone is around, I’ll consider doing a short GTalk or even Bambuser shot. Don’t want to be tooo obvious :-) #

I’m sure I could use this stuff for a film! #

He’s bringing out more newspaper articles! #

I think he just dumped one on the floor beneath my chair… #

To his credit, the McDonalds’ tables are small #

Ooooh, he’s found something to cut out! #

My bad. He’s piled the discards right beside his chair. I kinda want to go home but am rather fascinated by this…. #

Lacking white out, he simply cuts a piece of paper and pastes it over his mistakes. Clever indeed. #

He’s Back to scouring the bible again. #

Uh oh. He’s put the marker away but back to scouring the Bible again #

Felt tip marker back out! #

His Bible is old school Korean. Reads top to bottom. #

I think he wrote out a section title ??:13 but the translation doesn’t work. A little hard to read handwriting but his is printed and neat #

Well, I think I’ve had enough fun. This experience will be condensed on my blog later. http:/dragondon.net for those that don’t know #

When do YOU expire?

This question was asked of an English teacher here.  It is amusing when English concepts and words get confused but we knew what he was asking.  He wanted to know when the teacher’s contract ended.  Still, it was amusing.

ASL?

That is about what you first get if you are in some sort of group chat where anyone can join.  No ASL doesn’t stand for American Sign Language.  It is the complete and utter lack of courtesy and nothing but discrimination to ask someone Age, Sex and Location before anything else.  This type of thing _might_ be ok on a chat site where you are looking for sex but in a public place?
In Korea, age is vitally important as it is the sole basis for respect.  If you are an older person, the language they use is really different.  I don’t mean typical ‘nice words’, I mean there is a structural difference between  how you say hello to a friend versus how you say hello to a friend who is older than you.  The older generation of Koreans take this very seriously.  If the right words aren’t used, then you are the rudest person in the world.
So, what are the younger (and typically Westerners) so obsessed with this?  What is it about a young person’s mind that says ‘if you aren’t in my age group, you don’t have anything interesting to say’?  Frankly, this is a bit disturbing to see this kind of classification given how open and available people are from around the world.  You never know who wil have just that perfect advice(and God forbid they be someone older and more experienced!) or know where to find exactly what you are looking for because they just saw it on a site yesterday.
Regardless, I tend to have fun with this whenever possible.  Here are a couple of choice, truncated chats I had.
[21:49] <FRIZZI> hi
[21:49] hi
[21:49] name plz?
[21:50] <DragonDon> <— right there :)
Using IRC can be a great source of information and fun.  ’FRIZZI’ doesn’t know enough to protect her identity and when I see your email address and ip address ,it is a simply thing to figure out and even dig up more by using Google.  Now besides this, how is it that someone asks you your name when it is pretty obvious what your name is.  She never said anything else.
[21:53] hi
[21:54] hi
[21:54] asl
[21:55] <DragonDon> sorry, I don’t American Sign Language all the well.  Used to know the alphabet but only remember my name…
[21:56] <abc> who are you
[21:57] Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man chatting on IRC with a random stranger at this moment.
Now this is a completely unoriginal nickname.  And behold, the traditional greeting a younger, and ignorant generation, ‘asl?’. A simple right-click, whois and voilà “1993@yahoo.com”, it is a pretty safe bet that she was born in 1993.  So, when she gave me such a great opportunity to use a line from V for Vendetta, I couldn’t resist.  Aparently she could as she never said anything ever again.  Guess she didn’t see the movie.
Kids these days.  Sheesh.
