Secret Identity

[Nuzzolese]

I was just wondering how I'd know if I had a turdbergler in my daily midst, or a zippo, or anyone else similar or comparable to a board member but in my daily life at my jobs. I know you guys are all indivisibles and there's no one just like you but maybe there is a version of you, someone who could fulfill the same social requirements. How would I know how to find one?

I'll try to explain how you find a Nuzzolese if you want one. She won't be a flashy dresser, so you might have to look carefully, and she's probably quiet and keeps to herself and don't be afraid if she looks unapproachable, she just wants you to think so because she's busy, but if you're cool she'll be nice to you. That is, if you want your own Nuzzolese.

Of course we are not the same in person as we are in writing so that's why I wonder who the secret klls and mickills and cosmos are.

I work with a lot of different kinds of people and sometimes wonder if I'd be able to tell what they'd be like on a message board or if I could tell whether or not they've got vastly unexpected sides to their personalities.

I said I was knitted.

So? Details. The other versions of you could have been torn from the thigh of Zeus, or whatever else would result in them not having a childhood.

Yeah, I'm not a flashy dresser either. The most outrageous I get is with my kicks and that's about it. I'm quietish, keep to myself, don't smile a lot, but I'm friendly enough. I like to look busy, too. I hate having fake ass conversations, so I'm horrible with small talk. People tend to think I'm sort of antisocial. I'm not. I'm just selective. Get at me, dog.

Could you help me with #17 across? It just says, rhymes with orange. 4 letters.

[beastieangel01]

to find a BA01, find the girl who is shy but talkative once you take the initiative to speak to her. She will love video games, zombies, music, and movies of all kinds. She is fun-loving (almost to a fault, procrastination is something she knows all too well), goofy, and loves to dance. But she isn't the typical sort you see in clubs dancing. She will dance like mad with no one but herself, or next to her circle of friends. She holds no grudges, unless someone REALLY stepped on her toes, which has happened a total of once ever.

I don't think I was supposed to reply with this, but oh well.

I have met many people and of the people I met in person here, I don't think I've ever met any others like them.

[ms.peachy]

Could you help me with #17 across? It just says, rhymes with orange. 4 letters.
hmm. Well, try nroj. It may not rhyme exactly, but it is the Arabic root of the word 'orange', and also (possibly more obviously) for the Spanish naranja. Usage in the west dates to the time of the Moorish conquest of southern Spain.

So how 'bout them wild ass Mensa parties?

So how 'bout them wild ass Mensa parties?
OH GOD, shut up, my mom made me join that when I was like 15 cuz she thought it would be impressive on my college apps, which I suppose it was, but JESUS christmas, talk about fucking tedious, my god...

[Nuzzolese]

^ Is she being serious or not? I can't tell

[ms.peachy]

^ Is she being serious or not? I can't tell
yes

it was really fucked up, because I was all like little miss punk rock girl with my funny hair and ripped up black clothes, and like once a month there's be these MENSA youth event things and it was like me and all these nerdlings with horrible, horrible dress sense. And no there is nothing ironic in that last sentence AT ALL.

[JBernas]

a JBernas is very outgoing, friendly and pretty much likes to laugh and joke around. She's not a flashy dresser but more of a mixture of classic and laid back (think wide leg khakis and a nice sleeveless top with dressed up flip-flops). She will not be sitting on the sidelines, but probably mingling with everyone at a party. It generally takes A LOT to get her angry and she is not easily offended. She can have fun (with the proper company...say Mr. JBernas :D ) doing just about anything......She values her friends and is very loyal and honest. She likes to dress up and feel girly, but doesn't need to put on makeup to go out....She loves football and golf, but not much into baseball and basketball or hockey (although she'll go if the invitation is right). She loves cooking, having friends over and enjoying a nice bottle of wine.

[Nuzzolese]

yes

Ha! Wait, are you serious NOW? It's just a funny situation and you're still being funny about it. "I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE MENSA NERDS!"

Uh, oooooookaaay then. I actually had no idea and was just sort of kidding. But at the same time, I'm not entirely shocked.

Well I mean technically I was, because I was. But I wasn't. See?

[Nuzzolese]

myeah, see? (http://www.igort.com/immagini/edward_g_robinson.jpg)

I'm sorry, that was totally out of nowhere and meant nothing concerning what you're saying. I understand. You were smart but cooler than everyone else but pissed off that you had to be associated with people who didn't have your elevated sense of aesthetics.

[Freebasser]

Freebasser is a complete prick.

He'll be the one pushing your grandma down the stairs and/or setting fire to your most cherished childhood toy.

hah, the cagney thing was funny. Made me think of that episode of Bugs Bunny, when he hides the guy in the stove and does the 'Irish cop' voice.

But back to whatever - mostly it was just that I didn't want to be there. I wanted to hang out at the record shop and smoke cigarettes and glower at people, like a normal 15 year old. But my mom was giving me all this crap about how I had to get scholarships if I wanted to go to college and that if I made/joined MENSA it would help and I was like "Right well whatever, if it will help get me the fuck out of this house I'll do it. But you can't make me like it." So I had to go hang out at the library at the county college and not smoke cigarettes and glower twice as hard at people one Saturday a month instead.

[Nuzzolese]

It was Edward G Robinson of Little Caesar. I get it. I was a great glowerer and cigarette smoker when I was 15 but I didn't have any smarts to fall back on, nor parents who cared about my higher education, which is fine I didn't need that really. But anyway, I wonder if in a certain way you enjoyed those saturdays as a chance to be extra angry, like it gave your anger a target and purpose. I mean, my parents did care about me and my education they were always loving and perfect, they just didn't push me to do anything.

That's another thing. I was so stubborn as a child. If I didn't like the dress my mom made me wear, I'd refuse to take my coat off when we got to the place that necessitated the dress. Or I'd refuse to have my picture taken. I think they learned that if they pushed me to do somethig that was a guaruntee I wouldn't do it. I was proud, it had to be MY choice.

[Kid Presentable]

Kid Presentable ain't got shit to say, but get on the Message Boards and he's Tom Selleck.

[ms.peachy]

yeah, probably.

[cosmo105]

i'll fake nice with strangers if i have to, unless you seem genuinely intelligent/interesting. most of the time when they talk to me i'm really uncomfortable and try to get out of the situationi asap. i usually don't dress all that flashy, just jeans and a shirt and all. at the moment i have green in my hair.

An odd person to be on the message boards.

Jesus H. As shocked as I am to say this, we'd probably be friends.

To find a me, just look for the tall white kid who really has nothing to say unless you strike up a conversation with me. Then I probably won't shut the hell up, provoking you to put an end to it. I also likes George Romero movies, video games, hip hop, and I don't like to get dressed up, unless someone dies. Keep in mind, I'm a smart ass and a cynic. I probably won't hit you either.

[HEIRESS]

friday night I felt like I was being far too "me" for my own good if that makes any sense

I went to a back storeroom of a computer place party filled with rugby players and I was the "yer like a guy, a really funny guy, but with wonderful boobies" one
I then made everyone slid under the fence to get into an outdoor charity concert without paying because im a huge asshole

and then I went to a country bar in my dirt smeared clothes and I was the "young stunning smartass" who was in the corner pulling her shirt down after two 30ish year old hellacopter pilots kept pulling it up to kiss my belly and later was being laid face down ass up on the main bar so that my butt could be slapped post goldschlager shots

Im sure I have a twin out there somewhere

[synch]

Comfortable in most situations, or at least I look vaguely comfortable. Probably smirking. Most likely sporting some sort of facial hair. If in a club or bar either holding a coke or straight hard liquor, rarely anything inbetween.

I dance like I play pool, without a bit of alcohol it doesn't really work.

Can talk to almost anyone without resorting to the weather and/or football.

Overweight.

Yes, I definitely think it was a multiple birth.

[Bob]

a bob is a younger version of a mickill, apparently

[JBernas]

I have found this too...but it's a fine line. 1-3 and you're actually good and coordinated...overdo it and it's worse than not drinking at all.....especially with pool. I think I'm BETTER after a couple, but if I go beyond that, I suck.

[Nuzzolese]

Who said that?

[Bob]

Who said that?

well, i was just looking at mickill's first post and thought "hey, i was gonna say the same thing"

[beastieangel01]

I also likes George Romero movies, video games, hip hop

this is why you are my e-best friend.

[Nuzzolese]

well, i was just looking at mickill's first post and thought "hey, i was gonna say the same thing"

We used to be friends sort of - you and I - but that fell apart and now we have nothing to say to one another. It's like, I don't even know you.

[Bob]

......yep

(this is a striking replica of the kind of response a bob might give you in a real-life conversation)

[avignon]

You won't find me. I keep to myself almost completely. I'm terribly shy and easily intimidated. I rarely make eye contact with strangers. I can't stand to be touched. But if I'm among friends, then I'm totally at ease and I act like a 10 year old. I make up little songs to sing to my cat and the kids I used to babysit for. I generally hop or skip through my apartment instead of just walking.

[TurdBerglar]

look for the person all the weirdos are oddly attracted to. i don't get it. the fuckn' oddest people look at me and want to have a conversation with me.

[buddylee]

Walks like Cotten Hill: Spends 18+ hours with a 13 year old (who is like a little 30 yearold)
talks to a dog , Alway speeking my mind , takes a nap almost every day. hates the heat (has a icepack on him right now)
Wakes up every day feeling shity like was hit by a train
fights with Doc to get more Pain meds.
Smokes Pot like Snoop. Can't spell worth a shit.
Last Day I worked 11-21-2000..... and don't miss it one bit

[Kid Presentable]

The asshole who takes work really seriously so he can revel in everybody hating him. Very aware of how mockable he is, will let a select few see the true self.

Knows he looks like Chris Martin.

Will get really deep from out of nowhere, but won't accept any invitations to social gatherings.

Calls cat biscuits "Snackies".

Gets made fun of for listening to hip-hop, yet has a broader mind and frame of reference than you and your mum.

Nice guy to know, but easy to overlook.

[avignon]

Calls cat biscuits "Snackies".


My cat and I call those "Crunchies". :p

[Kid Presentable]

My cat and I call those "Crunchies". :p

Yeah, I've made the mistake of watching Bonnie eat, so now she comes and gets me everytime she's going to munch, and keeps checking to make sure I'm there.

[zorra_chiflada]

you wouldn't notice zorra in real life. she feels invisible. she doesn't stand out at all.
however, she will probably trip over something when she's walking, you'll notice her then.
she will small talk with most people
but she makes decisions on whether she likes you or not too easily, and if she doesn't like you, you'll know it.

[TurdBerglar]

you think you're so tough. but you're not

[zorra_chiflada]

uh huh. and why do you think that was so important to say that, turd?

[TurdBerglar]

why do i say any of the things i say?

[Medellia]

A Medellia kind of blends in most places. She tends to be a bit invisible, or at least she feels that way. There are a few places where she might stand out a bit. You might see her at a comic book store or music shop. She wears mostly jeans and t-shirts, and is slightly addicted to hats and purses. She's a bit quite, but nice. Maybe too nice though.

[tracky]

The tracky, and elusive creature, dwells mostly indoors coming out only to scavange for food and tools. The tracky's favourite foods include, but are not limited to, anything in burger form or anything fried. Walking has become redundant, mobility is provided by wheels, be it on a chair or car. As you would expect from such a lazy lifestyle, the tracky can be recognised by layers of fat and man boobs, covered by a neutral tracksuit. Other indicators of a tracky are a 3-day facial hair growth, short but unkemped hair, and dirty hands covered in various greases and paints. trackies have been known to emit various odours, a mixture of musky sweat, cigarette smoke and occasional gasses. Being such a pretty-boy, the tracky is an excellent lover, but chooses partners carefully, for only a few are worthy of, and even fewer are able to handle, the intensity of the pleasure a tracky provides. Between pleasuring a select few concubines (Mrs Palmer and her 5 daughters), the tracky plays computer games or watches cartoon re-runs while toking on a pipe. If you encounter a tracky, it's recommended you do not approach, and instead call local authorities immediately who are properly equipped to deal with such situations.

[Nuzzolese]

That was nice, Tracky.

I'm getting the idea most of us are easily overlooked. Either that or we are totally oblivious to how we come across to others. Ill just say that some people have claimed to notice me before I said anything to them. So there.

[synch]

I have found this too...but it's a fine line. 1-3 and you're actually good and coordinated...overdo it and it's worse than not drinking at all.....especially with pool. I think I'm BETTER after a couple, but if I go beyond that, I suck.
I use that exact phrase to describe it, "a fine line".

The difference between dancing and playing pool is the more you drink the better you think you dance but the more you drink when playing pool the less balls you actually pot, which is more than evident even to your own drunken ass.

[Nuzzolese]

One of my friends from highschool is obsessed with World of Warcraft and is "king" on a WoW message board, as well as other message boards. He's a big dork, but I love him. He's loud and hilarious and obnxious but never cool. I searched through to see his posts and it was a little surprising, but not totally. I still see that he has found a place to be king, and where he should, for his ally is the internet and a powerful ally it is; geeks create it, make it grow, dorky beings are we, not these crude affectations of cool.

Anyway, this is what he posted on one of the WoW boards

Rofl. You really think a 2v1 outside of an alliance controlled town makes you special? Let me just set your punk ass straight. I was ganking paladins with an elemental spec before you even know what Nature's Swiftness was...and believe me I didn't need MC epix to do with it either. I pwned more nubs before I took my morning shower at 6am this morning than you will ever even come across. You scrubs have it easy now that you get CP for your HK's. LAWL I was wtfpwning the bbqsauce back when it wasn't worth any more than the hours upon hours of grief that I know I caused your pathetic faction. Name a time and place and bring your butt buddy with you when I'm not mobbed up and at full hp and mp and we'll see who has the last laugh. Ball is in your court niblin. And that's my ball btw I'm just loaning it out since we all know you don't have any.

"I pwned more nubs before I took my morning shower at 6am this morning than you will ever even come across."

Those nubs aren't going to pwn themselves I guess.

[synch]

Those nubs aren't going to pwn themselves I guess.
Instant classic :D

[Bob]

is it sad that i understood every word of that post?

[Nuzzolese]

I'm not sure. "you" is the only word I understood.

[Freebasser]

WTF?

[Nuzzolese]

WTF?

shut up, loser

[Bob]

pwned

[Freebasser]

I think you mean "looser" if we're talking net speak.

[cosmo105]

that was intense. my boyfriend likes WoW but Rise of Nations is my real enemy. god damn that game.

at least we played Medal of Honor together.

wait a second...what is it with these games and Something Of Something titles? weird.

it shocks the hell out of me when people say something like "i remember you doing this or that" before this person knew me, if that makes any sense. i'm always thinking, "wait, you noticed me? the hell?"

It feels like they were spying because although you existed in public, you weren't aware of them so you wonder what else they know about you that you don't know they know.

[adam_f]

People like that are going to become paparzzi who get shot by Britney Spears.

like when my first boyfriend in 8th grade told me he remembered how i had a broken toe in 7th grade and cut the toe out of my left shoe for it, i was like, "wtf, i didn't know you were here in 7th grade."
