Twelve Days. Only Twelve Days. x.x

Meaning twelve more days until NaNoWriMo, of course. AHHH. I have discovered how one can simultaneously be excited for and also seriously dread something.
[Virgil, I'm sorry if I just gave you another panic attack. I just thought that the general, non-NaNo public ought to know.]

In math class yesterday and today, I (with the help of Virgil, House, and Lynda [though the latter two contributed their help during lunch and not math class]) developed a 6LCF Identification Guide; it is a handy tool that will help identify all the various species and subspecies of the Curly Fry genus.
Here it is, for everyone's future reference:

Species of the Curly Fry Genus
An Invaluable Resource!
**DISCLAIMER: This was written with flagrant disregard for Latin grammar. Please don't yell at me. 
  • Fencing Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius fencii
  • Writing Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius fanficus or Curlyfrysius originalficus 
    • NaNoing Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius crazii 
  • Curly Fries in Band--Curlyfrysius musicalia 
    • Flute-Playing Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius flautarum
  • Bilingual Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius bilinguus
    • Greek-taking Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius sleepdeprivdium
    • Latin-taking Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius romanae
      • Latin-Club Curly Fries Curlyfrysius romanae conventium
    • German-taking/German-speaking Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius germanius
    • Chinese-taking/Chinese-speaking Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius orientalii
  • Editing Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius grammaria
  • Curly Fries with Boyfriends--Curlyfrysius inarelationshipum
  • Asian Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius asiae
  • European-American (xP) Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius albatus
  • Curly Fries who have Bad Turrible Science Teachers--Curlyfrysius distraughtus
  • Glasses-wearing Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius myopius
  • Science Olympiad Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius nerdii or Curlyfrysius awesomus
  • Curly Fries with Siblings--Curlyfrysius sisteria
    • Curly Fries who are Older than their Sibling(s)--Curlyfrysius ancienia
    • Curly Fries who are Younger than their Sibling(s)--Curlyfrysius youngia 
Obviously, each Curly Fry fits into more than one species.
I hope you enjoyed! :)
I was going to make a dichotomous key for this, but I haven't had enough time to do so (I've still got science homework after this, so I can't do it post-post [har]). Perhaps next week.

Anyway, I would like the other five Curly Fries to categorise (argh; now I immediately go with British spellings >.<) themselves along the lines of the identification guide.
Readers (if you care to comment), you can try to classify each of the 6LCF too; I guess this would make for some interesting how-well-do-you-know-us trivia games and such.
[If you don't want to comment with a Curly-Fry classification, that's fine too. It was just a suggestion.]

That's it for this Tuesday.

Goodbye, then.

  2. Because you people heckle me on my English, I reserve the right to heckle you on your latin (and greek if necessary)
    there are NO Y'S IN LATIN
    all those verbs must be participles, I don't care if you don't know them yet FIND A WAY OR MAKE ONE!!!!
    Xiy, I'm not yelling at you I'm yelling at Momo

    @Virgil: Frick, we already know that irl. Don't make us puke on our own blog, too :P


    "Science Olympiad Curly Fries--Curlyfrysius nerdii or Curlyfrysius awesomus," hahahaha yes. Superawesomus ^_^

  5. Dear Poofy,
    You can't change science. So HA! This is science, Latin doesn't apply. Besides, your English grammar /should/ be better. For example:

    "Greek" should be capitalised, so should "there", you need a punctuation after LATIN, "all" should be capitalised, the comma after participles should be a semi-colon, you need either another semi-colon after "yet" or a period, xiy is not capitalised, and and you need another comma after "you". I think I win.

    @Virgil: Bad grammar makes you smile? Ew.

  6. @Poofy: I don't know about legit Latin, but scientific genuses (genii?) do use the letter y. Halysites, Tyrannosaurus, Cypraea, and Cryptolithus being some of those genuses. (Fossils FTW!)
