Am I missing something here? What exactly is "The Stig"?

Am I missing something here? What exactly is "The Stig"?

On Top Gear, they have this racing driver, and they call him The Stig and supposedly, his current identity is Michael Schoumacker.

Go watch Top Gear.

How often is rare for you?

Rare.
Genius is genius.
What I often get is rare flashes of inspiration; well thought out thoughts; sparks of above average intelligence; extreme geekiness; extreme rants of RAAAAGE against common misconceptions or rants of RAAAAGE while dispensing specialised knowledge, which is hardly above average intelligence or anything, just not often widely known.

Go watch Top Gear.

NOW.

Seconded.
It's amazing and funny. I don't even particularly like cars, but I love this show.

[DraPrime]

Hey.
New England is exactly like Britland is.
Every single year.
Except for the heat.

You could try going to the shop and reading some books in - shop. I do that all the time.

I would go to the bookstore, but the only one in my town went bankrupt a few months ago and closed. Shame really. And I'm not surprised that NE is a lot like England. This place was named after it for some reason. Guess it must be the weather. I wonder, do you also get a near instant shift from winter to summer in England, or does spring actually exist over there? Here, it's just cold, then kind of warm for a week, and then it's burning.

Unless of course, rain gets in the way of all that.

I think I may have an entirely wrong grasp of the meaning of the word genius.


And I'm agreeing with Dragonprime and Curly about Top Gear.

[DraPrime]

Since we're talking about Top Gear, which of the three hosts are you favorites? Personally, I love Jeremy in all his wondrous and offensive glory. The fact that he has done things such as setting a truck on fire and believed tape to be a legitimate way of attaching a door only make him like him more.

Richard. Needs no explanation. He is the Hamster.

[Nameless]

All three. They all have great personalities and together they form an awesome team of awesomeness!
… Kinda like Charlie’s Angels… Only less kinky and with no Latex.

[Castaras]

NOW.

eep. scary prime dragon is scary.

Maybe some time. I already have too many things I need to watch.

[DraPrime]

Richard. Needs no explanation. He is the Hamster.

Please, Jeremy has at least 6 feet of height on that little guy. Hammond is simply puny when you compare him to Jeremy.

Nameless, I thank you for providing me with the worst mental image that I've had in a long time.

[Nameless]

A pleasure SP.

I don't care. Hammond has the coats and the brains. Jeremy has the ability to pause in the middle of every sentence. I think you see where I'm going with this.

[DraPrime]

A pleasure SP.

SP?

[Nameless]

SP?

DP, typo sorry.

[Miklus]

You know what I hate most about biking? The bugs! Why do they think my pupil is nirvana? As an expirienced biker, I always wear sunglasses. But then they aim for the mouth. Over the years I have developed super fast reflexes.

This time I managed to close my mouth just in time. What to the damn bug do? Sting me in the lip, that's what! Ouch.

Anyway, I think I like James May the best. I like his attitude. He acts like he thinks the other two are idiots and that the whole show is a waste of time.

[Fredthefighter]

DP, typo sorry.

Or was it?

I see we saw the same episodes the other day. The hay was hilarious, the car more so.

Yes.
Yes, it was.

[Last_resort_33]

James May. Without a doubt. I just wish Jeremy would shut up.

[Dr. Bath]

James May. Without a doubt. I just wish Jeremy would shut up.

Yes! James May is by far the best. Although I do find Jeremy Clarkson quite funny sometimes. Mainly when he's losing at something.

[DraPrime]

Well, I re-watched them. I was at a friends house, and we were checking what was on the TV. The moment I saw Top Gear, I said "GO TO THAT!" She was very entertained by the truck episode, and has been made into a fan.

[Pocketa]

I am perfectly aware of Australia's awesomeness. When it comes down to it, Australa could only be more badass if it were flying and steampunk.

New Zealand is. Perfect Creature is a film, made and set in New Zealand, about a society where vampires and people coexist, but the vampires are the Church, people are protected and ruled by said Church, and it's steampunk most definitely.

More steampunk than my steampunk gun even.



Yeah, I mades it. It's a fully-functional light gun, works with a PC, for videogames.

Unless of course, rain gets in the way of all that.

We have 'seasons' as follows:
Spring: cold and rainy, especially March. We get one week of actual sumer during April.
Summer: warmer and rainy. A bit more cloudy than spring.
Autumn: colder and rainier and foggier.
Winter: cold and rainy. And foggy. And misty. Rarely a good sea storm.

I think I may have an entirely wrong grasp of the meaning of the word genius.

Genius is exceptionally rare. Hawking: genius. Einstein: genius. Goethe: genius. Shakespeare: genius (unless you're a conspiracy theorist).
Most people are just smart ranging to incredibly smart.
It's more perception generally.

I don't have one.
Unless you count The Stig. He appears for what? three, four minutes of each episode and is easily one of the coolest people/things on TV.
And the lorry driver episode was the first episode of season twelve. It gets better.
And you must see all the specials: America, Botswana, North Pole, Top Ground Force Gear, Vietman.
I spent most of the laughing, grinning manically or hunched over trying to breathe while laughing.

You can get lots of the episodes online.

[Crimmy]

Great.

Now I realize the World has better things for every single country.

Except for Mexico, which sucks.

I've seen all those specials. I own the North Pole one on DVD. Trust me, I am not new to Top Gear. And as far as Shakespeare goes, why does it seem like I'm the only person that likes classic literature, but doesn't like Shakespeare?

And don't forget Newton on your list of geniuses.

[Coidzor]

Hey.

Wait... You're all that angry at each other and everyone else all the time?

...It probably says something about me that I'm slightly scared that I did something grossly stupid and in violation of the board rules whenever I find I have unread PMs... eh?

yeah, I thought so.

[Thufir]

And don't forget Newton on your list of geniuses.

Rare as genii are, if we try to list as many as we can think of, we'll probably be here a while.

Ya wha?
