Actually, leander, I think you're kinda hot. You're starting to turn me on.

I'd fuck him.

How the hell can you even find your penis in all those folds of fat?

[Guinastasia]

Your parents must be beaming with pride.

Yep!

[leander]

Your parents must be beaming with pride.

Yep!

Yeah, right. I believe you. I really do.

So what do your parents tell friends and family about you?

"My daughter? Why, yes, she's doing great. She's 30 yrs old and still doesn't have a job, but we're darn proud that her very expensive education went to such good. Oh, and her social life seems to be picking up -- she now only spends 9 hrs on the computer every day! Her doctors tell us she's making lots of progress, though we're not sure what that means now after 10 yrs. But we have high hopes that this year she'll actually be able to get a job and stop reading vampire novels all day long. We're so damn proud!!!"

[ivan astikov]

And what do you tell your friends and family, about your time spent berating strangers on the internet, when you are taking a break from propping up the economy of Australia?

[leander]

Listen, Ivana Humpyerleg, I've told you before and I'll tell you again -- I'm not going to fuck you. So please stop stalking me.

[Harlequin]

And that's the answer?

[leander]

And that's the answer?

What's the question?

"And what do you tell your friends and family, about your time spent berating strangers on the internet, when you are taking a break from propping up the economy of Australia?"

[leander]

"And what do you tell your friends and family, about your time spent berating strangers on the internet, when you are taking a break from propping up the economy of Australia?"

That's a dumb question. Do you tell your friends and family all about what you do online? Unless you're Guinie -- who spends half her life trying to make friends online because she can't IRL -- you probably have a life outside the Internet.

At the end of the day, most of us live very, very different lives IRL and online.

ETA - Now what's the real question?

[Harlequin]

Wasn't my question. I just find the whole thing rather silly. I could claim to be thirty-year-old, unemployed and living at home or a successful expatriate businessman and you could only find out the truth by what amounts to stalking me. The details of our lives are largely unknown and therefore irrelevant. You may well be what you claim to be, but since I have no interest in the work involved in finding out I just don't care and I won't hold it either for you or against you. It's what you say and do here that matters, because this is my only point of connection with you.

Likewise with Guinastasia. She may be everything you say, I don't know and I don't care. If she is and you found out on your own, you're creepy. If she told you, you're kind of an ass for using it against her. Either way it reflects badly on you, not her.

Well, you got part of that right. She's put her pathetic life on the dope for years. She makes no secret about her job status, virgin status, and living status. It's pretty much her calling card.

Here's what pissed me off: She's been an unemployed loser for years. But now she's decided that it's the economy baby that's keeping her from getting a job and moving out of her parents home. That's disgusting; when there are so many people out there really, truly struggling because of this economy, and she uses it as her latest excuse de jour, it pisses me off.

[Harlequin]

I realize that, but you were heaping scorn on her before she said anything about the economy, to my knowledge. It sounds like her excuse has become your excuse.

To be honest, you may be right.

[Harlequin]

That I did not expect. Good on you.

[Borborygmi]

I haven't been reading this whole thread thoroughly, but when did it become sane? Perhaps it needs to be split into two pieces again. (Harlequin, some awesome posting here. Pitch perfect.)

[Guinastasia]

Since when have I been unemployed for years? I had a job, numbnuts-I was laid off. As for the state of my hymen, why the hell do you care so much? Unless you're going to come up here, big boy.


(FWIW, I've been doing tons of housework lately. From the way leander talks, I'm guessing he lives in a pig-sty)

Why wouldn't you want to tell your family and friends about an activity you pursue that gives you so much pleasure, unless you realised it was a little bit perverse and not the sort of thing that would show you in the good light you like people IRL to see you in?

< rubs fervently against leander's scrawny white thigh>

[featherlou]

Ok, I'm not claiming to be Jo Jo the Dog Faced Boy or anything, but, hell. People were referring to me as "McHottie" because of the avatar, so full disclosure seemed appropriate.

I have seen your picture, and I will still call you McHottie.

(Mostly because it seems to embarrass you. )

[Harlequin]

Harlequin, some awesome posting here. Pitch perfect.

Thank you.

Here's the deal, Ivana Lickyersac: I don't tell my friends and family about reading and posting on a message board at all. Frankly, they (like most of the "outside world") would think it's a bit weird and dorky to post with anonymous people around the world. I consider it one of my guilty little pleasures, much like my love of Desperate Housewives (which is definitely dorky). My wife knows of course, but she already thinks I'm a dork, so that's okay.

OMG do you think Edie will survive?!

(i hope not frankly)

Sadly I am a few episodes behind. Living in Australia the only way I can keep up to date with my shows is by downloading them. And unfortunately my busy schedule conflicts with many of my dorky activities, so I've yet to watch the last 2 eps even though I've got them.

Speaking of -- I can't find a good copy of The Office S05e19 -- they're all damn corrupted. Anyone?

Well, that's been fixed for you.

I suppose if it helps you get rid of the stresses and strains of being a responsible and successful employer, and the only thing that can be harmed is someone's sensitivities, then there is no real harm done, but it still seems like you are taking cheap shots.

leander, both here at SD, has always been a weasely, sniveling , unprincipled little shit.

But I hope he sticks around.

It's fun to mock a pseudo-intellectual.

[leander]

Wow. Cosmo's got some issues.

[beebs]

** Boooooo **

** Hiss **

Old thread. Bad times.

That's such an odd, inapropos word choice to describe him.

[featherlou]

He's as pseudo as the rest of us.
