Is that why you describe yourself as a potato?

I've never put on heirs to that of what I am not. I'm here to have fun, enjoy the company, and maybe on the off chance have something meaningful to add to a conversation. If I can't do that, then I'm picking on those who I know who can take it. :wink:

[quote="THEYTOOKMYTHUMB"]For me this whole subject boils down to: “things we type on the internet, but never say in real life”.

For instance, I might say “That rig is off the HOOK!” on line…

But in real life I even laugh at myself when I say it out loud. Hey, look at the old middle-class white guy tryin’ to sound cool! :oops:

The internet is a place where your personality can speak for itself without being altered by things such as social awkwardness, physical shortcomings or moral hang-ups. You can be the “you” that you want to be even if it’s not exactly who you are in real life. That being said, there is a big difference between personality exaggerations and complete fabrications.

I’ll explain further after this short educational video. It helps to further my point…

Here is why I personally don’t exaggerate on line further than maybe some of the terminology that I use.

My point being: most members of this forum can see their way right thru bullcrap. :)


:D :lol: ...You hit that one right out of the park!

BTW I just used "Beast" in another thread and that is a term that I do use on here and real life. You'll have to pry that one from cold dead fingers. :lol: Not to mention it reminds me of the vintage roller coaster of the same name. 8)
