from time to time i find myself imparting non poker data i read on this site. i feel like such a tool each time. i find myself starting off with:

i heard the other day...
i read the other day that...
someone on a poker website said...

anyone ever experience this phenomenon? especially funny when someone questions my source.

11-04-2005, 02:19 PM

holy crap yes... one time I actually started with ..."so some guys I know on the internet".... needless to say, not the brightest way to go about it.

I had to break down and tell my friends; theres just too many funny things worth repeating (they really got a kick out of commodus) it was awkward at first..usually go's like this... "so yeah I post on a poker message board a lot during the day...yeah, no, not about poker, about fast food, music and the best way to hide a dead hooker, that sort of thing."

I would smack them because I'm not Dan Rather and I don't need to prove my journalistic integrity.

I don't know, it seems that at this point internet message boards are enough mainstream that I just say "I read something on a messageboard..." whenever talking about stuff I found at OOT. I've said it this way to lots and lots of people, no one even bats an eye about it.

The clear answer is "dumping her in the river with ce-ment shoes."

I'm gonna have to go with chipper/shredder into a plastic bag followed by mixing into wet cement followed by piloting a boat to the middle of the Marianas trench and dumping it.

This was an effective technique used in the movie Fargo if I recall correctly.

I believe so, I haven't seen the movie, but I've heard of this particular scene in the movie.

Minus the mixing with concrete and taking to the deepest trench in the world, of course.

until 7 months ago, my grandparents didn't have a dvd player.

They have no computers in their house.

They're also 85 years old though, and could give a flying [censored] about email or any of the stuff you and I take for granted.

Mine are around that age and have 2 computers, broadband, several tvs and a dvd player. Their kids pretty much force it on them.

LOL My grandfather has an email account I set up for him, and I have to print out any emails he gets and bring them to him.

Just say you read it on a forum. If they don't know what a forum is, and they are under 40, avoid them, because they are stupid.

"One of my friends said..." works for me
"A guy I know said..." if it's some ridiculous story that you wouldn't want to be friends with that person

I used to like Good Charlotte, still have some on my iPod

I had a really nice jacket one, but I lost it in a bar /images/graemlins/frown.gif

First of all, delete it off your ipod right now. You only have to do the act, it doesnt have to be your life.

Anyways you probably wont even need to buy roofies to get the 17 year olds. They are pretty dumb and get wasted on 4 drinks.
