what\'s the best way to convey a non poker story you got from 2+2?
 

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...

someone on a poker website said...

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

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.
