He's funny when he's angry... funny in that... kinda scary way.

John,

It goes more like this ....

Re: pic: "I am John V-Neun"

John, you brought it upon yourself. Now you've assended with Andy Baker and Dave Lavery to the all important 'demi-god'* position.


*demi-god position includes Krispy Kream donuts, cooking lessions, and being made fun of on the CD boards through signatures, custom titles, and buttons.

Re: "I am John V-Neun"

You all should be ashamed, picking on John like that. Just because he's well known, and beloved by all (well, I'm sure not "all", but close enough) it doesn't give you the right to harrass him like that... especially not after all he does for FIRST and... and... ah, forget it, I need to get back to photoshopping that picture of Dave...

Sorry, John, that's just the price of fame (and infamy too).

Big Mike did it

You remember the Visa commercial where they showed all these people going "I'm Emmitt Smith" and the real Emmitt Smith cut in and is like "You've got to be kidding!" Anyway the commercial was over protecting yourself from identity theft...

But yeah, only Big Mike would come up with something like that...

Re: pic: "I am John V-Neun"

Okay...
Remember a couple of years ago, there were ads for a credit card in which a bunch of people would come on camera and say "I am Emmitt Smith".

One of my suitemates, mocking my... popularity?..... has taken to saying things like "I AM JVN". "I ate lunch, with JVN". "I know the REAL JVN".

I made the mistake of mentioning this joke to a few "friends" who then decided to expand upon it.



I'm JVN, yes I'm the real V-Neun, all the rest of you V-Neun's are just imitating.

31-03-2004 21:46

Re: "I am John V-Neun"

Gracious professionalism has nothing to do with this. John is a well respected mentor and friend of many. Just think of it this way...if the great & infamous Krispy Kreme King himself (Dave Lavery) would participate in such an act, it can't be too bad.

Re: pic: "I am John V-Neun"

You know, it is pretty cool to see people looking up to a mentor like John. This is what FIRST is all about. Dean and Woodie's premise behind FIRST was to bring attention to people who are "heros" in the world of science. Well, it appears that John is a hero to many... even Mr. Lavery!

FIRST is succeeding, and here is concrete evidence.

Do you think I am joking?

Re: pic: "I am John V-Neun"

V-Neun: a verb meaning to make a straightforward entity seem mysterious.

Used in a sentence:

I think instead of showing my hyphenated name, I'll just V-Neun it to use the initial of one last name and the entire other last name, that way people will always ask me what the "V" stands for.

I hope JVN doesn't get too emotional about all this attention.

I'm proud to have a twin half-brother like you. I can't change my profile to add your name, it would just.......be........too.....<sob>......painful for me.

02-04-2004 12:30

JVN

Re: pic: "I am John V-Neun"

V-Neun: a verb meaning to simplify something complicated, to increase ease of understanding.

Used in a sentence:

I think instead of getting asked all the time how to pronounce my hyphenated last name, I'll just V-Neun it to use the initial of one last name and the entire other last name, that way people won't be so confused and I won't have to correct them.



Besides Paul, you've gotta admit, JVN has a nice ring to it.

02-04-2004 12:38

Paul Copioli

Re: pic: "I am John V-Neun"

Can the same word have two entirely different meanings?

Here we go:

V-Neun: a verb meaning to complicate something simple. Also, a verb meaning to simplify something complicated.

or, better yet:

V-Neun: a verb meaning to simplfy something complicated

Vielkind-N: a verb meaning to complicate something simple.

I have decided that I will now call you John Vielkind-N!!

02-04-2004 14:54

JVN

Re: pic: "I am John V-Neun"

I think V-Neun should just be one of those verbs that can be used for anything, and doesn't really mean anything.

"What the V-Neun... I'm so sick of all this V-Neunin V-Neun. If only they'd bring back the V-Neun, I'd be totally V-Neun."

Now we just need to get "V-Neun" onto Dan Green's list.
"Sweet Sassy Molassy! Those technokittens really V-Neun'd it!"


I'm gonna start using Copioli to mean "Totally Sweet!".
As in: "WHOA MAN! That gearbox is COPIOLI!!!"
It seems somehow appropriate



Hey man...

Re: pic: "I am John V-Neun"

Totally agreed. We should definitely start a dictionary of words/terms related to names.

02-04-2004 15:45

Paul Copioli

Re: pic: "I am John V-Neun"

Oh yeah! Leung totally has to be the synonym for sleep, sleepy, sleeping, passed out, etc.

EddieMcD

Re: pic: "I am John V-Neun"

I call my name for teamless orphans! Using it in a sentence:

"Those poor Eddies... they all need help."

On second thought, it can also mean either someone who sports way too much lime green, someone who dresses up a a superhero, or somone who flings around fictitious FIRST mascots in a chat room. Using it in a sentence:

"Those poor Eddies... they all need help."
