What people from these boards.....

would you like to meet in person?

EVERYBODY!!!

Because they're all such a great group!

LOL... Was that corny? It sounds corny in my ears... I just can't be selective... Or I'd rather not admit to being selective.

98% (minus that 48% snob test thing..lemme think..) 60% chance I'd like to meet everyone as well. But then.. I hate math.. I may have dropped out a factor or two. (Some I'd meet twice or better, so that'd be.. auh.. 198% .. I think.)

I guess who I would like to meet most would be Morgan, Esper, Luz, Phoenix *yum yum*, James Tate and challenge him to a drinking contest, although I would probably lose. And the one and only Jamesthe13th!! I am forgeting some I know some I'll think of some more.

Honestly though... don't you think people are way different online than they are in real life?

Romeclone.. those brits are used to stout'er stuff. I'd say he'd have to accept a handicapp.. Two against one, in terms of alcohol ingested. I'd be your second.

Morgan: Re: above. Doesn't have to be so. Especially since having met online.. should have done some defrosting. My thoughts. (If never met in any form before .. yes. Difficult.)

Hmmm... I suppose... It's just that I think a lot of times when people go online, the put on a personality, not really theirs, just one they feel like acting.

That's possible. I think it would be harder to maintain that kind of thing, however. Cracks would appear, etc.. inconsistencies.. I think it'd be easier to be yourself, with the bonus of being able to express your ideas without the distractions of looks or tone and all the rest. (Although that does backfire at times.) I don't feel you're acting.. I feel you may be a bit cynical at times, but I Know I am.. so..?

Oh I'm not really acting... I'm honest, but I'm just saying I know a lot of people who just are different online... Maybe I'm wrong though, maybe people online are MORE themselves then in real life... The online version of them is like a more potent extract... a concentrated personality...

lol, now it sounds like orange juice...

I like the way you put that. I know I get farther in conversations when I'm not looking at the other person and interrupting myself with "what? what?".. you don't follow?" etc.. based on their expressions and such. Did you hear about this nightclub that switches off all the lights.. total darkness, with waiters (with night vision goggles) that bring you to your "community" table? No lights, no distractions.. people just talking. Some connect very well. I wonder if it's just a fad? (They do eventually turn the lights back on.) Some 60 minute thing or ET snippet.

Wow... now that's interesting... I don't know if I'd like that though... I mean, it's great for conversation, I suppose, but I wouldn't feel too comfortable not being able to see what's going on around me... And what's the point of going to clubs if you can't show off your outfit?

Both points very true.. and I don't think it's that much of a vanity to wish a certain level of physical attractiveness. (Not sure you meant that or were saying that, but.. I'm willing to gulp a few times and admit I just said it..) BTW the waiters always have the goggles on, so no shinnanigens (msp close enuff'). Understand the outfits. It is partially why all of us go.. a chance to dress out and be out.

Well, yes, I was thinking about the need for physical attraction... Because a healthy relationship should have a good dose of vane lustfulness... But I was actually thinking more along the lines of whether on not that's acutally safe... Date rape and the rest... It's hard to tell if someone's slipping something into your drink if you can't see it... And also if someone's a good pick pocket, it's their heaven.

I see the fear. Especially the first. The ecstasy thing. I read it's more prevalent now than anytime in the past. (Meaning it's now part of the top 10 things Law Enforcement is trying to get a grip on.) I've never actually seen or experienced that. Didn't run with that crowd.

Exactly... It's going to be hard for these types of place to catch on if that happens a lot there... Or if people in general are just afraid it will happen... It's bad for business.

I wonder if it's just us.. here in the US, or does this happen world wide? Lesser or more liberal behavioral code, etc? This could fall into pornography, good or bad.. violence on television, etc.. (not a bad topic, just "big".)

Well... I tend to get the impression that people elsewhere in the world are a lot more comfortable with their sexuality than us here in the us... More open about it...

And the drug thing, I tend to think they are more liberal about that as well... I was told that in Australia they had machines in the clubs that could analyze ecstacy pills to see how pure they were, to keep people from getting hurt... Even though the drug's still illegal... At least they are helping their people more, where as us here in the friggin fascist US would never do something like that.

That I didn't know. (in a sense similiar to schools wishing to hand out birth control devices, intended to prevent disease/pregnancy while trying to discourage more sex due to safer precautions..) It's a hard line to draw. In the article I read concerning ectasy.. I didn't realize all the other side effects either.. there were quite a few.. (I can't remember) but an emphasis on "bad" metabolically.. respiratory or something.. depending on how many you'd had.
Regarding drugs and legally.. it's the same with marijuana. Some feel it could be a taxable cash crop (fed would love that, is the feeling..) (I'd worry about that last.. ie Amtracks having had wrecks due to smoking same, etc.)

ah! ^^ id love to meet you too romeclone! and everyone else...

I consider all of you me mate's. I am not a man of wealth if I were I would have you all over at my expence. How ever if you ever get to Canterbury all you need to do is come into the west station walk out to St Dunstan turn left and within half mile you will see witherspoons on your right. I suggest we start the contest with two brandy glasses full of scotch whisky. Just to warm up. Den nor shaboom will let me put there e mails up so I must talk here.

Well, knowing what I know now, I think I wouldn't want to meet morgan....lol j/k. And morgan, you are exactly yourself and truer to yourself on the message boards than in real life.

I'm a Morgan Concentrate.

can i get that with pulp?

Sure... You can find me in the freezer section mixed in with the icecream...

morgan topped with whipped cream and cherries.....hmm....sounds tempting.

sounds like... Oh, now whatch that cj7, that's just not right!

sorry

this was based on the pretense that u were a dessert in the frozen food section kinda like ice cream.....u thought i meant.....what.....shame on u.

😛... no... I'm a frozen concentrate like orange juice...

with pulp

yes... with pulp... plenty of pulp... just need to shake real well before drinking...

good cuz i dont like grapefruit juice. its too bitter. i have a grapefruit tree in my backyard. i hate it and im gonna cut it down. ive been taunting my mom for years telling her im gonna get rid of it, she starts to get all upset, its funny.

I don't like grape fruit either... But I do like trees... Oh well... Once, when we were doing a Florida drive buy... We stopped and picked some fruit off these trees by the side of the road... and then left... It was good, and we didn't have to pay for breakfast... But noone ate the grapefruit... and it dissappeared in the car... We think that a mouse which was living in the air filter ate it... But we never could tell for shore...

*sure

well its ugly too. and its right in the middle of the yard. and if u dont pick up the grapefruits they rot on the ground. my dog plays with them. they're good for about five throws.

My great gandmother used to have an apple tree in the middle of her yard... and it was my favorite thing about her yard... but then... like you're saying, it got in the way and was always dropping apples that would rot... So now's it's nothing but a stump... I miss it... *sigh*

now i like apples. there was a old overgrown grove of apple trees near our house in ny when i was younger. those trees were huge, u could climb in them all day and then if u got hungry u could always grab an apple. i like the green ones.

There's an old over grown apple orchard next door to me... I used to go and pick them when I was little... Untill I got yelled at for tresspassing... 😢 some people just aren't any fun...

ok - orange groves/ apple orchards

Fruit... It's nature's candy...

MMMMMMM.... Fruit....

we would spend all day in there. there was always wood and nails left somewhere or partially made tree house that was abandoned.

a gift from the gods maybe?

Sigh... Where I live I'm surrounded by woods... My house actually has six acres... My brother and I always used to go exploring... we founded the oddest things out there... There was this old hovel which someone had most definitely been living in... There were cans and bottles scattered all around... It was kind of odd... I always wondered who would want to live in our back yard...

... everything seems like that when you're a kid...

i guess it would be better than a freeway over pass?

most definitely... hmmm... much more relaxing... much less noise... although you wouldn't have as much fun playing through the can at the car....

so u doin ok?

me? I'm doin just fine... For the time being... Live for the moment I say... it's the best way to go right now...

And you?

Tomorrow I'm going to look for a new job...
*sigh*
