Probably 
Here’s hoping being cute helps with my viva on Monday.
A viva? {{Angua}} Good luck.
I doubt it; they won’t be drunk, will they? d&r.
crosses Shade off list of persons allowed Anguacookies and mine pies
Bad move, now I’ve no incentive to be nice at all }:->
That’s OK. I have a very wide evil streak 
I thought you said you had that in check?
So do I get AnguaCookies or not? (No, evilShade, we shall not make a joke about that being a euphemism. DOH! He’s good at this.)
Erm - i think not.
I think you’ll find i saved your arse by pointing out that the person who was accusing you of being a waste of space was in fact a magician.
No, I’m nurturing it
Its not a euphemism. If it was, none of you would be getting any of my cookies.
No, I’m nurturing it
Its not a euphemism. If it was, I’d be worried about the one that I’ve promised to ice Bib’s name on. 
Yes, but I do believe that that self same magician did then further admit, that yes I was a useful member of society.
Careful, one of my friends nurtured his dark side a bit too much, and it took him over entirely.
That’s not what the report on the last dopefest said. There was apparently lots of cerebral discourse… wait, no, you thought ‘cookies’ meant something else, didn’t you?? Ick. You have a dirty mind, girl.
Huh? Looks around totally confused
How the heck did I manage to doublepost two different versions?!?!!
Presumably he argued that entertaining people was a useful function. Hey, I just thought of a justification for a whole swathe of sciences, especially certain social sciences
It happens. It’s the hamsters’ fault. (I assume you didn’t click submit and ‘nothing happened’)
Oh, and garius, rather than being accused of being a waste of space, I recall that I was merely being asked to justify being a useful member of society, who gets paid by the taxpayer.
no - the “justify your cost to the taxpayer” bit came later.
I know that because that was the point when i quietly slipped away to the bar before someone asked awkward questions about what the government were paying me to do all day…
Aahh… And that’s when I managed my wonderful spiel about teaching, and teaching the next generation of “useful” people, hence almost single-handedly ensuring that our economy doesn’t collapse.
Yes, because if we didn’t have any astrophysics teachers, we soon wouldn’t have any astrophysicists at all. And then what would we do?
(No-one look at me, I’m a maths student. I don’t justify what I do.)
Yes, but not everyone with a degree in astrophysics or even physics goes in to research, many many more go into industry, and the financial sector, amongst other things. So nyah! 
Unfortunately I’ve been backed into a corner arguing something I don’t agree with, so I’m going to have to resort to fluff and sarcasm until I can exit.
It’s a good thing we have astrophysics teachers, else our industries and financial sector entrants wouldn’t know any astrophysics
shakes head
Lets stop this now. And go back to amusing translations of names instead, or has that been exhausted?
