The haircut from Hell


Mephostopheles himself attacked the haircutter that gave Hot Cross Country guy this haircut. Well, I guess that's being a little dramatic, but it's seriously the ugliest haircut ever. I mean, don't get me wrong, he's still really hot, but the hair was kinda the icing on the cake for his beauty. I almost cried when I saw it.

 

We had many academic team competitions this week, which I rock at. But, I am pissed at the varstiy team captain, becuase we had a competition where there is a computer prgram that makes a question come up, gives us options, and then we have a minute to answer the question. If we answer the question in the first seven seconds, we get five bonus points. Past that, we get fewer and fewer bonus points until we get none after thirty seconds. Well, there was a question that was something like, "Which of the following is composed of protons and electrons?" The choices were X-rays, Microwaves, Photons, Quarks, and Solar Winds. I said, three seconds into it btw, "Solar Winds."

 

Eventually he says, "What makes you think that?" (Snow Dog inserts here: "It can't be anything else, duh!") So I explain why to him. X-rays and Microwaves are composed of luxons, not tardyons, and photons ARE luxons, thus can't be composed of protons and electrons, and quarks are the things that make up protons, so it can't be that. Thus, it must be Solar Winds. He finally selects Solar Winds, and we get it right. However, instead of getting ten points as we would have if he had trusted me, we got five.

 

I mean, it's not so much about the points as it is the pride. What he did was basically say, "I don't think you're smart enough to actually know this for a fact. And since I'm so much better than you at science (which he sucks at, btw), I'm going to make you justify your answer to an annoying degree." And afterwards I find out that he doesn't even know what a baryon or a luxon is, so he doubted MY answer when in all actuality he's the one that has no clue about anything.

 

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh. Wow. I've taken Honors Chemistry, Biology and now Physics and I haven't heard of any of that (well, I know about solar winds vaguely from sci-fi) but baryon's and luxons? How did you learn this?

 

And I wouldn't feel too bad about him not taking your answer immediately. He has a responsibility to the entire team, and it's better to get 5 points then no points. I'm sure as time goes on and you prove yourself to be the science expert there won't be a problem.

 

P.S. Sorry about the hair cut, and don't you dare tell me you're already reading Faust, If you are, I want to transfer to your high school, it sounds so much more fun...

LOL I agree with Shadows about why he probably didn't just go with your answer. Personally I purposely avoid most science as much as possible (which I'm sure doesn't make my scientist dad too happy), so I'd probably have just smiled and said "okay" as soon as you opened your mouth :P

Well I do hope you explained the nuances in a rapid voice so as to furhter enjoy the look of bewilderment he must have been sporting. I'm not going to pretend to be mature.

Oh yeah, I explained fast because we were running out of time. I learned all this stuff from Wikipedia and a book I read called "Alpha and Omega".

 

And no, I'm not reading Faust, I listen to Trans-Siberian orchestra, though, and they have this cd (which is all I know it to be, but it could be like an opera that they perform or something) that talks about Mephostopheles. Right now I'm reading "Gone with the Wind".
