Congraduations

We here at Nerd City want to extend our most sincere congratulations to Amdnarg-Toh, one of our technical writers, on his recent graduation from the University of Illinois at Effingham. It was no small feat for him to attend college full time in addition to the tiresome work he performed here at Nerd City.

His faculty advisor stated “Along with being the only mountain dwarf in his family to ever attend college, he has excelled in many academic pursuits, not the least of which being his studies in Argumentative Rhetoric, rising to star placement as a Master Debater on the debate team. We’re extremely proud of him here at Eff U.”

Mr. Toh has been a member in good standing of several academic fellowships his entire college career, the two most prestigious being I Ata Pi, the fraternity of culinary arts aficionados as well as the popular leisure studies Honor Society, I Felta Thi.

He was also chosen to be among a handful of students across the nation to receive special financial consideration by the honorable Electrical Engineering National Interscholastic Endowment, (EENIE) as well as the more specified Microscopic Electrical Engineering National Interscholastic Endowment, (MEENIE.)

But home always had a special place in his heart and thus his equally impressive volunteer work in his hometown of Owatonna, MN– a rare advisory board placement with the Minnesota Institute for Nurturing Enterprising Youth, (MINEY) and the Minnesota Organization of Entrepreneurs, (MOE.) “We here at MINEY are very proud of the momentous, altruistic work that Mr. Toh has been able to fit in to his six years as a college student,” gushes president Adolph Oliver Knipple

But a sense of balance between studies and fun is a rare commodity in the lives of academically gifted people. However, Amdnarg has managed it quite well. “What’s that saying? ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy?’” opines girlfriend Anita Mann. “Well, Ammy, (as he’s known to close friends) is certainly not a dull boy,” referring to his activity as apostle of school spirit on the yell team.

“He made a great impact on many of us here. His sense of camaraderie and love for his fellow man was evident,” quipped Jimbo Berkinghamshirewood, the president of the yell team.

“At basketball games, he was always able to gather the students into a rhythmic chant of Eff-U Forever!” says fellow student Harry Palms.

“He even sometimes tried to make the referees feel like a part of the team by shouting Eff-U! at them continually from the sideline – What a guy!” quipped sophomore student Amanda Hugginkiss.

In addition to his Degree in Argumentative Studies and additional engineering research, he was granted the Argumentative Studies Specialty designation on his diploma. He was recorded as saying “Whenever I look at my diploma on the wall, and see that they realized that I was such an ASS, I’ll think to myself – thank God. Eff-U Forever!”
