May. 17th, 2004 10:44 pmHO'D (also spelled Hoo'd or Ho'od)
The Ho'd (pronounced hoohd, one syllable) are a loud and obnoxious
race of humanoids determined to conquer the Internet.
The Ho'd assert their dominance over a section of the Internet,
usually a discussion group, Web discussion board or live chat room, by
storming in shouting their semi-literate battle cry, "Ho'd Win! Ho'd
Win!" Having thus issued formal challenge for dominance, they proceed
to establish their dominance through engaging one another in long,
loud, and pointless discussions about the relative merits of two
entities which, under normal circumstances, would never meet.
Example:
{Charley16} So then my boss had the nerve to ask me if I was willing
to give up my vacation time- which I reserved six weeks ago- to spend
my Fubarcon weekend on 24-hour texaport call.
{Harv3y} d00d. suX00rz.
{freeb0rg} So what did you say to him?
* BigHod has joined
* BiggerHod has joined
* NotsobigHod has joined
{BigHod} HO'D WIN!
{BiggerHod} HO'D WIN!
{NotsobigHod} HO'D WIN!
{Charley16} What was I supposed to say? They're cutting jobs here as
it is.
{BigHod} USS Enterprise versus head of cabbage!
{BiggerHod} Enterprise! Enterprise can fly through space!
{NotsobigHod} Cabbage is high in vitamins and nutrients!
{Harv3y} Excuse me?
{BiggerHod} Wait- which Enterprise?
{freeb0rg} Hey, do you mind? We're trying to talk here...
{BigHod} Any Enterprise!
{NotsobigHod} Cabbage beats any Enterprise!
{Charley16} Er... the Enterprise is a ship. A head of cabbage is a
plant, and a kind of small plant, too. How could they get into a
fight?
{BiggerHod} No way! Maybe cabbage beat shuttle Enterprise- I give you
that one, stupid shuttle can't even get to orbit. But even aircraft
carrier Enterprise beat puny cabbage!
{freeb0rg} He has a point there.
{BigHod} Maybe should make clear. After all, Original Series
Enterprise have James Kirk, Spock, McCoy. Next Gen have Picard, Worf,
Data. NX-01 have wimpy Quantum Leap guy, half-naked Vulcan chick, and
cracker guy who works engines.
{BiggerHod} Wimpy Quantum Leap guy still better than cabbage.
{NotsobigHod} Half naked Vulcan chick subcsr1be!
{Harv3y} skr0 this s#!t, im outty
* Harv3y has left
{BigHod} What about Kirk v. Picard?
{BiggerHod} Kirk v. Luke Skywalker?
{NotsobigHod} Kirk v. the Knights of Columbus?
{Charley16} You know what? Screw it, I'm leaving too.
*Charley16 has left
*freb0rg has left
{BigHod} HO'D WIN!
{BiggerHod} HO'D WIN!
{NotsobigHod} HO'D WIN!
And so on.
Fortunately, the Ho'd have not been able to achieve domination over
the entire Internet due to their short attention spans. Although they
have, in the past, nearly destroyed comics and science fiction
newsgroups, their attacks have always faded after a matter of a few
days. Still, the creatures lurk in the dark corners of the Internet,
always eager to use their terrible weapons of pointless debate and
logic-free argument to control the newest discussion forum...
