What the hell was that ??!
What the hell were they doing ?
A few people came to the library, right beside the computers, beside the wall, in the middle of the library, two of them sat down and started talking and writing things on some piece of paper. So far it was strange, cause they could've done this at a table and instead they chose the floor and in the middle of the library too.
Then they started talking loud, and everyone could hear them, which is again strange, cause library is supposed to be a not-loud (different from quiet though) place.
Then they went to a row of computers and desks, with people working and studying, and started saying a bunch of things that I didn't understand, loudly. And then they cheered up for themselves and left.
The people I was sitting and talking with, were a bunch of morons, so that didn't even grab their attention. So I had to come up with a theory of what the heck these people were doing, all by myself.
I figured, they were probably working on an assignment, seeing how people react to abnormal things happening around them.
So I went out to ask those people what they were really up to. It turned out that this whole thing was more messed up than I thought.
From what I understood, they were just trying to see if they can grab people's attention. It wasn't for an assignment. I asked them if they had a measurement of how successful they'd been, like number of people who moved their heads to look at them, etc. They said no. So the whole thing was a strange test with no means of measuring the outcome. Think about doing something purposeless.
Moral of the story: If you think the number of retarded people is decreasing, you're dead wrong, straight up.

Cool Guide
Here's a few tips for those who want to be cool in the Persian/Iranian community specially in Vancouver:
1. Listen to House music and call everyone else FOB. It doesn't matter if you know the meaning of FOB or not, it's just a matter of saying it. FOB is a word registered for use only by the higher class people.
2. Smoke (this covers anything smokable, including your grandparent's underwear. if one day you succeed in 'smoking' LSD, you rock straight up, since you'd be one of the few who've accomplished this. now you can call others who do LSD in the right way, FOBs).
3. Wear only brand name clothes, specially Diesel, regardless of how ugly the clothes might be. It's all about brands and how much you've paid for it. If you can't afford it, work 412 hours a day and spend all your money on a 999.99$ jacket. Then call others FOBs.
4. If you're a girl, be a bitch, literally. If you're a guy, give attitude, but remember to stay up-to-date with the fashion and use proper hair cut. If you find anyone not following your way, call them FOB.
5. Become a singer. No experience is needed. If it doesn't work out, call everyone else FOB and start working in a coffee shop.
6. If you don't have an orkut account get one. Then start writing scraps and i-love-you testimonials for everyone else including yourself. Call yourself FOB.
7. Avoid intellectuality. Call everyone who goes to university FOB. Don't read any book. Call anyone who reads, FOB.
Note that these conditions are not either necessary nor sufficient, and there are exceptions for every case. If you'd like to know whether or not you've become COOL or FOB, a case-by-case study is needed. Please contact our office for an appointment at 1-800-FOB-COOL.
