For some reason, I haven't exactly figured it out yet, but around here if you have a sense of humor that isn't considered "the norm" you are automatically considered to be "on drugs" by your peers. I don't know if that is because they just don't get it, or they really actually think that the "weird" person is on drugs. It's something I've had to live with, but I refuse to have a "normal" sense of humor (whatever the heck THAT is), so if you don't like it, you shouldn't be reading this then.. hehe..
Anyway.. here's how the GERT was born:
Shuriken and I were often bored in High School (yes we both graduated,
I graduated with high-honors) and we had all this creativity welling up
inside of us, and we decided we ought to do something about it.
So we began to write what is now known affectionately to us as "THE PLAY".
The Play was written in-class (when we should have been working no doubt),
on notebook paper. We would pass it back and forth, add a few lines, and pass
it back and forth again. At the time, we had a third party who contributed.
His name is Adam, he's in the marines so he hasn't contributed to this page at all.
So at the time we created our own little name to copyright stuff to. We called
ourselves: Sinamickayne INC. (sign-ahm-ick-ain - ain as in pain) The Play was
modeled after an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, with Joel as the host.
Special appearances within The Play were made by famous people (actors, politicians,
cartoon characters, whoever we wanted to make fun of), and people we knew from
school, and our outside-of-school-social lives, yes we have lives. Sometimes
these appearances wouldn't have been too pleasing to the people that made the
appearances. Some names were even changed so that the people in school wouldn't
know we were writing about them. It was kind like: "Don't cross *us* or we will
put YOU in The Play!" Even though the intent was never really malicious, it was
like they acted in real life, but with a few exaggerations. Like our art teacher,
Mrs. Garcia, who in real life got a little angry if you said a cuss-word in class.
In The Play, she would literally attack whoever started cussing. Then there was our
Business Ec. teacher, Mr. Schaffer, who carried a golf-cup that he drank out of alot, and
got really ticked at the unruly students in the class. We turned him into The Golf Ninja,
who ate "Schaffer Wafer" (tm) brand Wafers. When he meditated, the stuffed his head into
the box of wafers, and I drew him in his "Golf Ninja" ninjitsu outfit. Complete
with drawings of the weapons' whereabouts. He also had Schaffer-Wafer-Chinese Stars that he threw at people.
Call us cruel if you like, but we're really not. Venting this way is a lot better than carrying around all the frustration and making ourselves ill with stress. This way nobody really gets hurt.
Ok ok.. on to how the GERT come into this.. The Play is where they first appeared. Since then, they have evolved a little, and they now have a sensei, an enemy, a sidekick, and an annoying reporter to follow them around. Plus they have better-developed personalities. I'm sure they will evolve more as this page carries on.
I created this web-page to vent some creativity, and to let everyone laugh at the GERT. If it can relieve my stress, it could relieve the world's. Not only that, I think I have a small fan-club of people who wait to see what kind of web-page I'm going to create next. I only have like four web-pages! HAHAHA *grin*
It probably won't be too much longer, and I'll write them a theme-song (I like writing stupid songs), the words anyway.. I don't write music, just words. I mean, I can sing them to myself, but I can't actually write music. I know how they *should* go.. but as far as writing it, nope, can't.
Well.. yeah.. ok. Anyway. Oh! BTW! Chris's real name is Christian, and he thinks he's God, but he's an Atheist, so he doesn't believe in himself. (that's meant to be funny, so like laugh or something.. hehe)
