'new shoes' is clearly enough explanation for why he was up late

He seems to be hyperactive from the coke.
The whole piece gives me a powerful imaged of Philippe wired to the eyeballs on caffeine and sugar - rushing about, throwing fruit, breaking things and showing his butt to Mr Bear.
Junior meth-binge! BLEEEEEEEEE!

I can just picture him typing out a paragraph and then going to do something terrible like throwing an orange at the fridge, then coming back to feverishly write about it before taking off again.

Now that I look at it again, perhaps he's jumping while running forward? Like running around the table, bouncing up and down? That might be a better explanation for Connie's drink spillage.

I looked at the picture before reading the paper and wondered if Onstad meant for Mr. Bear to look so angry, or if it was a Mona Lisa kind of thing. Otter-ass whilst eating is not a fun thing.

I understand Philippe's Situation. Just last week, I consumed in excess of three cups of coffee and four bottles of Pepsi, and went into a sort fugue-like state during which I wrote all five papers I had due the following day. It was brutal.

I love the nerd/geek distinction. So true!
The definitive word on geeks, nerds, and dorks:
https://catandgirl.com/view.php?loc=94
Huh. That's a pretty good one.
The different opinions on the meanings of nerd and geek (and occasionally the related term "dork") has long been a personal fixation for me.
Dorks:
[IMGS OFF]
Much as I love Cat and Girl, I take sharp issue with Girl's definiton:
geeks are more left-brained, excelling in technical things like programming or whatever mathy stuff they do.
Nerds (such as myself) are often more linguistically inclined, and seldom of any use to the world at large.
A dork is any socially awkward human, a trait often found in conjunction with geekiness & nerdiness, but not necessarily causal or correlating.
I now side my spectacles up my nose and anticipate wedgies to come.
No wedgies from me, although I'll have to ask to see your special permit.
Alright; it's been a week and I have yet to formulate a reply with a suitable balance of snark and grace. I stand accused of geekery without licence. You are the winner. Damn you, tellumo damn you .
Linguistically inclined equates to nerd? To hell with that. I'm a square, and I'll push anyone who tries to tell me different!
There are other categories, of course. A square is a sober linguist; a nerd is drunk (or, in Charchar's case, fated to alcohol abuse in the manner of a mile-wide mudslide about to bury Talladega's one tourist).
Girl's usually wrong about stuff; she's the set-up character. Cat's the wise one: "A hipster walks into a bar and says this bar's full of hipsters." Or Grrl, of course: "I'll have the patties hearst."
As will we all, Grrl. As will we all.
It's hip to be square.
you mean, you'll press on them?
I'm inclined to disagree...
Geeks and Nerds are both left-brained. However Nerds are more practical, while Geeks operate on a private flavour of "rule of cool".
I suppose it depends most which you'd find cooler: the world's most powerful mass spectrometer, or a 1:1 scale model of the millenium falcon that can actually fly... a bit.
Although it seems that Beef is not giving himself enough credit; while technical studies are obviously his forte, Ray still called him "Mr. Quotes Tori Amos During His Salutorian Address." Sounds like he was reasonably well-rounded.
FeeRrreep sassing RB , calling him a nerd n all that, isn't that a bit out of character for the little guy?
Nvm , just finished reading and turns out he was all doped up on coke (the fizzy kind ofcourse).
