Haruhi Phone Booth

 
Haruhi Phone Booth
Q1.How many Haruhi's can one fit in a phone booth?
Q2. How do universities in Japan recruit new students?

A1.5
A2.By getting their students to dress as Haruhi and sending them off to Akihabara - looks like they are interested in recruiting otaku?
If you was in the area at the time, would you ask if you could fit in the phone booth with them?

Yes.  I would ask to share the phone booth.  What kind of single heterosexual male wouldn't?

Don't ask me why, but i have this feeling half of the cosplayers are actually male >.<.

"It's a trap!"
Well, from what Danny has shown us about the dark side of cosplayers (crossdressers, rioters, bad dancers, hybrid girls, etc.) I don't think I would enjoy that kind of view either. ^^;

To disembowel traps that are also fake Haruhis? That's a bit harsh but hey. ^^;

i dont have the guts to ask the girls if i could fit in the phone booth with them...well maybe. As for the Universities, I think its interesting why they are scouting otaku's. I guess it must be the mindset of them or something similar? I have no clue. I could only think of organizational skills or...precise craftmanship when making models...haha

If you think you suffer from lack of girls like this during your student time then I guess I can beat that. I suffer from NO girls in the university department that I'm in. Yes I wouldn't mind being around girls like that but just being around girls would be a nice start.

This talk about universities made me wonder about something. What is the education level of Danny's visitors. Wouldn't it be interesting to make a poll about that?

this is not really what I meant. If we make a poll based on replies where people put their names on the replies then it wouldn't give the right picture. Imagine if say 10 people talk about university and then one guy says "I left school after 8 years" or something like that.... I think (s)he would just skip replying.

As for studying Japanese... why? :)
While it's certainly not uninteresting I fail to see a good connection with physics. Sounds to me like you decided to add extra study time on your hobby rather than what you plan to work with.

I'm not suprised uni's might try to intice otaku. I've never met an unintelligent otaku. They've always had at least some brain power. Not like chavs...meh
Have any of you met unintelligent otaku?

Depends. Is there an old mattress in your phone booth? And why do you have grape jelly all over your face?

*Question time!*
Danny, did you imply in your question that one must dress like Haruhi to fit in the phone booth if he or she is interested in that kind of thing ( question more aimed to guys obviously)?
If so... *Shivers*

Apparently it's a law of nature that dressing as Haruhi will shrink you to her body size; effect lasts until you take off the clothes.

So somehow the university admin suddenly got this idea that they need more students so they gather some of the "proactive" female student body of their university and they do this? I wonder who was behind this....

I thought almost the same thing when I saw this one. ^o^  How many Haruhi does it take to fill a phone booth?  Everyone can guess how many are in the booth.  If you will we will stuff you in there with them. ^^;
