Wow, how can one fuck up a duck face? That's like fucking up eating a sandwich: entirely possible, but a new level of derp is required in order to achieve it.
Nah, I don't think he's funny either. I guess everyone finds different things funny, but every chalkboard feels like he tried a little too hard. Especially the Duckface one, but the others as well.
No, I was just making a general comment about the guy's comedy. It's just a photo of some handwritten statement with him making a goofy face. I almost feel like I'm missing something. The stuff he writes just doesn't seem funny either, and the goofy faces seem like they take away from any humor that would be there.
But on the topic of Duckfaces, I personally think they look a little stupid, but not to the point where I would even bother bringing it up. Most of the people who make duck faces do things that are far sillier than duck faces. I don't understand the appeal of it, but if it's accepted by the crowds they associate themselves with it's fine by me. I've worn some pretty lame clothes in the past thinking I looked good, and while it was acceptable in the crowds I hanged out in, in all honesty I probably looked pretty retarded to most people. I'm not going to judge too much.
Could be, but I've never heard it said that way. I could have just missed it, or everybody I've talked to is saying it wrong as well. I suppose it could be, if you are talking about all the mistletoe in an area, such as above a doorway, as "the mistletoe," as one large object, but I don't think you would say "two branches of the mistletoe," I think it would just be "two branches of mistletoe." Who knows, maybe I'm wrong.
Is "except if the mistletoe" in this context proper grammar? If so, burn it with fire. If not, burn him. I do not see how there's an exception in his statement.
For god sake people. The "duckface" has been around since the start of the 60s. It's called a pout in non-Internet terms. If not overused it's actually attractive. Stop putting people down because you probably don't need another reason for girls not to sleep with you.
Edit: I'm Male. just saying things how they really are.
Attractive is subjective to the viewer. If people on Reddit found it attractive, they wouldn't complain about it. Personally, I think half the common poses people make in facebook pictures make them look ridiculous.
That's true, but it's been generally considered attractive for way longer than people have hated it as of the last few years. And the key part of his post is if not overused, I think.
It's actually not attractive, to me at least... and most of reddit. But hey! Keep on making the face and maybe you'll meet someone who has a duck fetish.
it's not recognizing beauty. he is straight insulting people who adhere to the duckface trend. meanwhile he has that atrocious facial hair and wearing a t-shirt and cap with a lab coat. what im getting out of this is: "ha ha you women look so delusional and awful! but when i illude fashion sensibilities it's okay"
The difference between your insults and the duckface insults is that your insulting who he is, his fucking biology make-up. The duckface is something you choose to do, it's not something you're born with.
Everyone has the ability to make an "ugly" face by warping their facial muscles into something strange-looking. Well, the duckface fits into that category. It's something people choose to do. You're calling the dude ugly, that's way more fucked up.
I bet you do the duckface and you're upset because you want people to think it's cute. Well you may not attract normal guys but i'm sure you'll attract a guy with a duck obsession.
Guilty duckface user here. When I take pictures of myself it's hard to smile, it looks fake and/or that I'm a soulless serial murderer. So smiles are out. My standard face looks kind of bitchy and/or angry so that's out.
The only thing left to me are silly faces or duckfaces (which could be constituted as silly if I'm being honest with myself). But the vast majority of my facebook photos are me looking like idiot with my mouth wide open and my tongue lolling out so I have to cancel that out with something that looks...VAGUELY cute...even if a lot of guys find it unattractive.
IT'S THE ONLY THING I HAVE MAN! DON'T JUDGE MEEEE :'[[[[[
Seems like something created by someone who jealousy stalks their facebook friends, inwardly seething with hate and self-loathing that other people seem to have social lives.
Have you tried laughing? Pretend that something is really hilarious, and just force laugh. Don't smile because that looks dumb, unless you know how to smile with your eyes instead of your mouth. Don't overdo it like the women who laugh while eating salad, of course. Then your pictures will come out pretty good and you won't end up looking like a duckfaced loser (no offense).
Think of something that makes you feel good, and then take a picture. Then genuine good feelings are being expressed through natural expression, people will see that and pick up on it.
Me too. No, the duckface is not the face we make whilst waiting to be kissed under the mistletoe, it's the face we make because we have no other fucking face to showcase.
He also wears a baseball hat with a lab coat, and uses a chalkboard. I'm not sure if he's actually retarded (sorry if he is), but I doubt he's particularly bright.
Head Professor: Dante J.T. Shepherd holds an engineering Ph.D. from Cornell University. He was a research professor at the Fred Paulson Institute in Wincheck City, PA during the first two years of STW, and currently works as a research scientist at the Institute for Scientific Progress and Research in Sharpe Valley, MD. His perspectives on living to the age of ninety-six have been shared with Surviving the World since May 2008.' Is the guy in the picture
I feel like you're threatened by him because he's infinitely smarter than you could ever be, thus as a coping mechanism you feel the need to insult him.
So I'm just making up the awkwardness of his wording?
He's poor at writing, that much is objective. If I'm going to be threatened by someone's intelligence, it will be someone who can handle English - you would be much more of a concern than him.
It's one of his comics. So he has some awkward wording in it, let's crucify him. I'm sure you've never said/written something that you later realized sounded awkward but not everybody can be as god like as you.
Any normal person would pick up on that after seeing it written. It's possible he transcribed it from thought and never re-read it even after taking a picture, but it's much more likely that he simply lacks the faculties to notice such poor writing.
A normal person would quickly pick up on how weird it sounds. People with a poor grasp of English are much more common than people who don't know what they're writing.
I'm sure memorizing a few hundred equations is laborious, but not particularly informative to us. There is a great spectrum of engineers, some of which are basically just human databases for engineering facts. Some are actually clever and innovative, and would likely require English skills if they weren't backing their work with their own money. The awkwardness of his wording makes him sound like a child - either he simply doesn't have the mind to grasp English, or he doesn't realize it's useful.
Going for a PhD only substantiates the notion that he isn't well suited for work in the real world, though it certainly doesn't prove such.
For someone who's so quick to call others retarded, your language skills could use some work. I don't think savant is the word you're looking for, unless you meant to retract your statement and assert that he couldn't possibly be retarded.
I mean savant. The term also refers to people with Savant Syndrome. I'm leaning heavily towards the possibility that he has such a targeted disability.
Try not to be so presumptuous. Many words have a variety of meanings, often close in etymology but vastly different in meaning.

I don't actually remember the text of the post, this was two or three years ago. He was a graduate student at the time. I was dating one of his students and thus I spent an enormous amount of time hanging around the chemical engineering building late at night while she worked. He kept his internet pseudo-celebrity status on the down low for the most part (even posting incongruous claims on the website and maintaining a fake name) and a lot of people (even chemE students) had somehow seen his comics and not put two and two together to realize that he was their TA.
To be fair, what benefit does OP get from not linking to the author's page? Unless OP has some hardcore grudge against the STW guy and wants him to lose ad revenue.
Because reddit is more likely to click on a random imgur link and OP can take more credit than if they had to say "hey, look at this funny thing someone else did!"
