Well it seems as if some of us got off on the wrong foot so to speak, so as someone rightly sugested i thought i would set this up for us newbies to introduce ourselfs correctly rather than ruin you threads, and hopefully you regs will join in and introduce yourselfs too.
I shall start the ball rolling. I am danni 24 female and a working single mum from berkshire. I started lurking here a few days ago when posted a link to the forum with our pictures. Then once i realised you guys actually were not a bad bunch decided to join up. I can be a bit hot headed at times, but genrally im a nice girl. Apparently i have nice hair that someone wants to cut off and weird clevage but i gues we cant all be perfect
I write poetry and lyrics, a few of my poems have been published in the usa and in my spare time am trying to write a book. in between looking for a new job.
anything else you would like to know feel free to ask.

Thanks for that rat shit. were not pushing stiney away, just asking him to stop posting on every thread about the meet and how he couldnt come. the reason were asking for kerion to come back is he is a really nice person. Something you will never be. Call me what you want rattrap, i could not care less. im not going to let you get to me like you do the others. I have enough problems in my life without you being one of them, so toddle off and try rubbing someone else up the wrong way. mind you your proving quite a charactor in my book ha ha ha so all this rubbish you spout out just makes for good research into internet persona's and the effects chat rooms have on peoples mental state

No Guitargirl, I meant that people with autism shun social contact and are solitary people. They rarely interact with other people. That is how their illness got its name auto meaning self. I on the other hand am just sad and lonely and so turn to webforums and web meet ups to fill the gaps in my social life. Posted by Samuelnorton (Member # 48) on :

According to Wiki der Wikingpedia, those who have Asperger Syndrome don't necessarily shun social contact but have a qualitative impairment in social interaction.
This, and the presence of restricted, repetitive and stereotyped behaviors and interests lie at the root of your problem in 'getting a woman', Harlo. You appear to have no interest in getting to know anyone as individuals, from the people you meet on Internet bulletin boards through to the various females you have tried to 'hug'.
If you tried showing an interest in a woman for who she is rather than as a desperate attempt to get into her pants you might have half a chance. But then time and again you have proved that even this is beyond you - and the fact that your rather unsavoury reputation precedes you doesn't help your case.

Have you ever seen me trying to get off with a woman???? Do you think I talk about sex to women straight away? You have no idea how I try to pick up women. Your simplistic theory that I go on about sex and therefore put women off fails to recognise that I never managed to get a girlfriend when I was a kid at school at a time when I knew very little about sex.

I am just trying to help you Harlo, as has everyone here in the past. If you cannot get to grips with the problem, then keep on going.
FWIW I never managed to get a girlfriend when I was a kid either - I was more interested in toy soldiers and football than girls. I am hardly a work of art, yet have had no problem - probably because I can speak to a woman as a human being rather than some sort of object. How I have managed to do this while retaining my arguably odious political views is something I have never truly been able to understand, but hey. Maybe being a right-wing bigoted c*nt implies that I have a big cock. Or something.
I should really lay off the beer. Fucking AC Milan.

But at secondary school as I remember almost everyone was going out with someone by the fifth form. And quite a few of my mates were going out with girls when they were in the first year.
Posted by Benny in the East (Member # 903) on :
was that secondary school in 1973 or 2002? A lot's change you know.
Posted by Tilde (Member # 1215) on :
I was quite the stud at primary, but I lost it when I went into secondary. I didn't get another girlfriend until I was 17. I didn't have sexual intercourse until I was *gulp* 21 (i think? i have lost large chunks of memory due to denial)
A number of factors contributed to this "Girl Drought"
a. A problem with my feet requiring me to put away my fashionable slip-ons and wear "Special" shoes to correct an alleged instep. (I'm sure this was just bullshit from a sales hungry clarks employee) Huge chunky lace ups with soles seemingly made of old grey car tyres.
Result: instant fashion outcast.
b. A complete and utter lack of hormonal activity throughout my entire secondary education. No pubes for me thanks, I'll wait until I get out out of embarrassing changing room situations and intense peer pressure to develop. Thanks God!.
Result: P.E. shower humiliation, withdrawal from previous "cool kids" peer group, loss of confidence. Reduced to hanging around with "Fat kid", "Ginger gay kid", "Electronics nerd kid #1", Electronics nerd kid #2", "Posh misfit kid" and "Excema kid".
c. After a sex education lesson and subsequent inspection of baldy baldy scrotum testicles, became convinced that one hadn't descended hence failure to develop. Later after another sex education lesson and subsequent inspection of Knob bell-end, discovered knob-cheese and became convinced I had gonorrhea. Later after another sex education lesson and subsequent inspection of baldy baldy scrotum testicles discovered lumps and decided I had cancer. (actually just harmless cists - as I found out 10 years later when I finally went to the doctors.)
Result: A constant worry that I was going to die/cancer had spread. Stomach ache = stomach cancer etc. A fear that if I had sex with a girl she would feel my testicular lumps and my secret cancer would be out and I'd have to do something about it. err. fuck me, what a fucking stupid way to grow up.
Well, I've forgotten what point I was trying to make, but anyhow thanks for listening, it's been therapeutic.

Probably. Let's wait and see, bosoms bared.
Posted by Louche (Member # 450) on :
It's just that bared bosoms are a bit of my mind at the moment, see. One of the girls in my office who isn't quite a friend but is a bit more than someone I work with, if you see what I mean, accosted me this morning and waved her chest at me. "You wouldn't lie to me! Have I got too much cleavage in this dress?" And I looked down to examine aforementioned cleavage in order to supply an inormed reply and realised she had like, almost everything except the nipple hanging out of this (actually quite pretty) little brown dress. And she's not got the smallest breasts in the world. It looked like a an accident in a blancmange factory had adhered itself to her front.
Of course I said "no, no, that's fine" because I didn't really want to be rude.
But. Exposed bosoms. Kind of, er, with me at the moment.

I've been having a glorious week for this since Easter. Yesterday my mood was elevated no end by the student I ended up sitting next to on the train last night, who had folded the top of her dress down to catch the sun, and the fallen asleep revealing a breathtaking amount of the most beautiful tits I've seen so far this year. They looked wonderful. Really smooth and filled out, with a visible amount of heft but sitting proud and high on her chest. That was really amazing and put me in a great mood for the rest of the day.
And I've just come back from the village shop, where two girls on half term (probably about fourteen) were sat on the pavement in tiny denim skirts eating ice cream; their mouths all smeared with white liquid stickiness. I still feel quite dizzy from that.

Girl Dies on Train Journey
Rail workers yesterday made the grizzly discovery that a passenger had died during a train journey, and remained in her seat until the end of the line.
"I thought she was sleeping at first. She was just sitting there with her head against the window.
"It wasn't until I tried to wake her that I realised her skin was ice cold. I didn't know what to do. I've never seen a body before"
Investigators have told us they are 'baffled' at how nobody noticed the girl was dead. They believe at some point somebody also partially removed the girl's top so that a section of her chest was visible. They are appealling for anyone who may have sat near her to come forward.

That makes sense I'm pretty sure Doctor Doctor was a cautionary tale about the perilous state of the NHS during the 1980s and Hold me Now is definitely allegory for penal reformation.

These boards used to be a lot busier a few years ago, when there were more people posting. Also, before TMO most of the people here posted on a forum called Seethru, which was actually part of a BBC TV series called Attachments, which was quite popular but not very popular, and so that's interesting for new people to know.
Also there used to be meets, which people called meats, when people would meet in pubs for drinks and to get to know each other. The biggest meet was in a pub in London called The Drowned Horse, when more than 500 people showed up. You can still find photos of that meet dotted around the internet. Most of those people no longer post here, though.
Except for the ones that are still here.

There was definitely a point quite recently at which it became impossible to offend people on TMO. Back when it first started, people were positively Barbelithian in the way they fell over themselves to be the first person to condemn someone for being un-PC - I remember people threatening to ban me just for posting about beating my girlfriend up in the street, and there was a serious discussion about how awfule it was to make a joke about giving teenagers a facial. When Black Mask made his comment about curing an old woman's cancer through rape, Disco left the boards in disgust.
These days, there's just nothing you can say to upset people. I reckon the tipping point came when Dr Benway started listening to a lot of hip-hop and also posting amusing stuff about abusing women. He was always quite vocal when people crossed the moral boundary (I remember he had a go out me once for using the phrase 'made her come' "as though you played her like she was a fucking instrument :madfaece:"). So when he started cracking off colour gags, it just... everything became permissible, pretty much.

There's a pretty good record shop in town, can't remember where though, but it's tiny. And the cathedral's alright - unless it's full of mad christian sect group middle class white folk jumping up and down and shouting praise the lord - then it's just a little uncomfortable - in fact it was so uncomfortable when this happened to me, that 2 christian churchy girls said that they found it a bit frightening and wanted to leave.

I spent too long with Raz and he made it seem OK. I do worry, though. When I re-read that Collymore post I was actually quite shocked at what a despicable **** I am, a shitbag who'll do anything for a cheap laugh. But I don't know, deep down I still feel nice. I'm nice. I'm a nice person who posts horrible shit on the internet. In my defence, I used to rely on TMO as my moral barometer. No one stops us anymore. So, you know, it's Ben's fault really, for not being around.

It actually crossed mymind to post something today about Waynester staring at some poor girl's breasts for two and a half hours. Not that I thought he would, really, or that I took his post any other way than I reckon it was intended, I just thought it would be quite amusing to perhaps draw a sketch of the poor girl in the carriage with him, progressively feeling more uncomfortable, dirtier, as his gaze burned into her boobs.
I didn't do it because I couldn't make it funny and I didn't want to have a go at Waynester. But a while back his stated intent to stare at breasts would have caused all kinds of stink.
But I think the reason I didn't react to it is part of the reason why quite such mad stuff gets posted these days without incident. I mean, I've not met all that many of you, really, but I still reckon I 'know' most of you well enough to know that Waynester talking about staring at breasts didn't mean he was going to purposefully locate some large boobed girl on the train and gawp, perhaps occasionally rubbing his cock, visibly, and making mewling noises.
And that applies across the forum; I just see it all as humour, as boundary pushing, as TMO.
Well, apart from ralph, but he's a creepy little fuck and doesn't understand either social interaction or messageboards.

That's one of the greatest things about TMO (and I remember posting this in a Things you Love about TMO thread, don't you know): someone always gets the reference. You can post about the most random shite in the world and someone always gets the reference. And if you post anything based on previous board memes, posts, obscure members who posted just once, we're all so fond of naval gazing that someone will always get the reference.
I'm sure someone will prove me wrong now by mentioning the fifty times Benway has riffed on a rare Japanese slasher movie only to be met with bloody tumbleweed.

Tall poster Gemini once started a thread called 'It's Hailing', on which her first post consisted of two words: 'how bizarre'. Along with Mart's Alphabet Thread (Every poster post any old crap, but do it in alphabetical order of usernames), Gemini's hail thread became legend as shorthand for banality.
So, if you wrote a really boring, banal load of bollox, as we all often do, you might add the words how bizarre to the end.
Something like that anyway.

Jonesy's beaten me to it, I see, but hey who's counting:
Rick or RickJ is Samuelnorton. It's his old poster name.
Gemini was a TMOer who joined us around about the Handbag time, though she has berated me before for suggesting she was a 'bagger.
She started posting beautifully inane posts about nothing at all. Amazing at it sounds, this got our back up a bit. It culminated in her starting a thread titled "It's hailing" in Life, in which her opening post just said "How bizarre".
Everyone began to lay into her for being so utterly shit, and she shrugged it off with an admirable lack of concern, and enjoyed the ribbing, and became a valued poster as a result. It was groundbreaking because it made us more easy-going, and bonded us all against this apparently shit newbie who refused to get worked up by anything we threw at her.

Not really, no. I get the idea, it's kinda funny I suppose, but not really funny enough to make me genuinely laugh. Maybe it was just built up a bit too much, and seemed a bit obvious. I mean, you said iWorm, and I saw that tapeworms were mentioned in the thread, it was clear where it was going, and the execution of that obvious joke was sloppy at best. Certainly not one of Bandy's better efforts. Perhaps it was just the fact that people clearly consider this to be a pivotal moment in TMO comedy history, so funny that 3 years later it's being referenced as one of the funniest things anyone has ever written on here. I don't know, I guess i was just hoping for a bit more than a neon coloured tapeworm gag. I mean, the i-everything gag has been rolled out so many times, in so many forms, it's like a kind of running meme to take someting unusual, make it a bright colour and stick the letter i at the front and call it humour. It was funny the first few times, but then it just seemed a bit desperate.
Don't get me wrong, it was ok. I just can't work out why anyone would find it so amusing that the memory is still strong 3 years later.

Gail wasn't scary. She was mainly angry on that thread because of an ongoing feud with Rick. Which started after he took issue to her criticising something German and holocausty and escalated when Rick claimed she had rats in her vagina.
Gail was an excellent poster and also a good member of the Moral Barometer Team, who have disbanded, leaving behind the sinful anarchy you see before you today.

Gail is scary! She once accused me of being racist which is madness as some of my best friends are black and I always make sure I compliment them on their crazy hair and quote hip-hop lyrics at them to let them know I'm down with their culture.
Posted by mart (Member # 32) on :
I agree with Ringo that the iWorm was not a groundbreaking moment, but rather a mildly amusing phoo from Bandy.
One of the first things to impress me about this place, actually, was the quality of the phooing that used to go on, from Bandy, Misc, and others, and prompted me to give it a go as well.
Posted by herbs (Member # 101) on :
I remember my eyes nearly falling out with laughter when those not well versed in phoo tried to swap posters' faces over, ending up with terrifying Frankenstein-type creatures.

Thank you gentlemen.
To answer an earlier question, Samuel Norton appears unpopular but I don't have the whole story as I don't post often enough sometimes to get a fuller picture. His posts all seem fairly reasonable to me. I was thinking earlier as I read his posts to Harley that he talks about being right-wing in a somewhat self-mocking way that is almost endearing. So far I haven't found him offensive.
Posted by Nathan Bleak (Member # 1040) on :
One of the most disturbing things that ever happened to me was when someone (not..., I think), swapped my face over with Ben's. That was really weird, looking at this kind of double chinned version of me. It was like looking into the future.

Good question. But, seeing as it's well documented that Leslie was sterile and impotent from the age of 21, after Bernie Clifton subjected Crowther to a concentrated serum made from the mucous glands of mosquitoes during a Crackerjack wrap party at the Dachau concentration camp, I think the answer would always be no. It sounds like a trick question. Well done Louche.

This is a much harder question to answer. Well done Louche. Next time your mother asks you a difficult question, you could always try countering with a question yourself: "Did Leslie Crowther ever jazz on your face?"
If she doesn't come up with the answer to this obvious trick (he was impotent, remember) question then you have won a small victory against a parent. No mean feat.

Imagining asking my mother this is hilarious and a tactic it's worth considering employing in the ongoing Louche vs her Mum war. That said, the poor woman hasn't had sex for fifteen years, so it might set off a horrible and painful for all reaction.
Posted by jonesy999 (Member # 5) on :
I reckon it might be a good tactic in all kinds of arguments. From now on I intend to ask the question "Did Leslie Crowther ever jazz on your face?" during moments of stress and difficult questions. It should make job interviews a lot quicker and less painless. Painful even.

Thats true Ringo.
In my defence, I haven't been able to post much in recent months because of two contracts back to back which offered no internet access at work. But I have tried.
Actually, I think my post count stacks up reasonably well against the count of other long term posters who are still here: Dang, you (although I appreciate Friendly Joe might have a thousand or two posts to add to that), Mart, Darryn. OK, so quantity isn't everything, and I hold my hands up and admit that the vast majority of those posts were probably not of the standard set by everyone else on that list, but I think I've shown a just greater than average level of dedication since TMO came into existence. OK, I may not respond to everything - but count up the posts of the sarcastic cnut who started that particular false rumour and I think I can hold my head up reasonably high.

I don't really understand my relationship with thorn, but I agree that his trademark acerbic wit and wry, sideways take on life always raises either a chuckle or an eyebrow.

Flattered as I am by that first comment, I reckon this is probably going to be the more commonly held sentiment on this forum, other forums and among my real life acquaintances.
Posted by jonesy999 (Member # 5) on :
I reckon Thorn is responsible for at least a thousand lurkers never having the stomach to post. It's only fair that he posts consistently good stuff to make up for it.

Has Thorn/Nathan ever produced a bad post? Is he actually capable of such a thing? Is it even in his DNA?

Although, I did mean what I said. There's only really Kovacs and Ben who could come close but Roy and offspring did for them, so I reckon you're streets ahead.

He does produce them occasionally, doesn't he. The thing is, he's usually the first person to point that out. Admitedly, he usually does so by comparing his shitpost to another frumite - "fucking hell, not even dang would be proud of that effort", that kind of thing.

Well he used the wrong they're/their/there on a post today, but that was nothing more than a grammatical error. Other than that the post was alright.

See, I think that even the so-called 'shitposts' are excellent and the accompanying comparisonposts, as an ensemble, push the entire post-reading experience towards a sort of nirvanic hysteria, for me at least.

Thorn was one of the most scary when I started. Even now, Nathan can be..erm, sharp would be the word. Very .. sure. Harsh even.
What made me relax was the tight pants. Maybe only I can sill remember them, but whenever I feel slightly scared I remember this man talked to me about his tight pants and it's ok again. Posted by Jimmy Big Nuts (Member # 895) on :
I often print out his posts so I can read them to my parents when I go to visit them. Sort of like a mixtape of his best bits.

If Thorn's trademark acerbic wit and wry, sideways take on life ever does prompt anyone to kill him then I nominate black mask to write his obituary.

I take photos of his posts on TMO with the camera on my phone and group mail them out to my friends, to show them I love them and I'm thinking about them.

They'd probably unanimously decide to throw me out, though

Hah. I like to think blind kids don't play pinball anymore but they have a Broderick Box, like in War Games, that reads out posts in a Hawking voice. I think TMO would sound excellent being read in the same monotonous robotic voice.

I studied in Cambridge for a short while. Not the university, obviously. Occasionally I'd see Hawking around. He has a variety of wheelchairs. He has his regular high-tech Davros one, he has a regular motorised one, a retro one that he has a lackey push around and he has a fancy black wooden one pulled by little shetland ponies.

This is actually really awful now, because it's reminding me of the German Exchange I went on when I was 14. I was one of only three guys, and the other two were really self assured, good looking and funny, and I was a clumsy, geeky fuck. It should have been a glorious opportunity to impress a bunch of chicks - english and german.
Instead, it was a complete disaster. I couldn't find my groove at all, and everything I said was just... it was complete shit. One of the other two guys would usually pick it up and turn round into something funny, but at my expense. Every joke I tried to make tanked, and was remade as a viciously witty laugh-bomb aimed at my own head. Eventually it got to the point where everytime I said something they'd just stare at me and go "Tunnel-vision!" and put their hands up to their eyes as though trying to ignore me. They shortened it to 'TV', and it kind of stuck with all the German girls. Everyone called me TV, and eveyr time I tried to speak, I'd be drowned out by 40 kids going "Tunnel Vision" and putting their hands up to their eyes, like blinkers.
So reading this thread is like, when they would say "actually, Nate is pretty funny" and I'd perk up a bit and be all like "really?" and then the statements would become increasingly hyperbolic until I realised it was just another way of mocking me - putting me down in front of the chicks.
Anyway. It did teach me an important lesson: in any mixed gathering, you've got to take every other c**t down as quickly and savagely as possible before they do a number on you.
edit: Oh I see. You've all stopped talking about how much you like me now.

man, he was smokin' in that thread. You too, BM. Quite the team. The Simon & Simon of near-the-knuckle internet comedy.
Posted by Ringo (Member # 47) on :
Today's not going too well for me. When I got into work this morning, I ripped the crotch of my jeans getting off my bike. I think all the recent cycling as put a lot of extra pressure on that area of my jeans and I hadn't realised they were losing the battle. Rrrrrip. Bastards. So I've spent the whole day trying to avoid getting out of my seat so nobody notices the gaping hole beneath my scrotum. I'm not wearing particularly pleasant boxer shorts either.
This made me feel particularly self conscious as you can imagine. This wasn't helped when a colleague from another department brought four reasonably attractive young women around to introduce them to everyone. They're new trainers apparently. He brought them over to my desk, fresh from speaking to another colleague who had entertained them immensely. "And this is Chris" he said. I smiled and sat there looking at them. They looked back expectantly. 'Think of something clever to say you fucking loser' my brain was saying.
"S-so you lot are trainers then..."
"Yeah"
"Cool"
Thankfully Kevin realised I was in real trouble and took them away sharpish. Still, bit of a nightmare situation.

That's very kind of you, but it's all credit to Nathan. Posting off Bleak is like playing against Man Utd. It brings out the best in you, you need to dig deep for that little bit extra. He demands, you give. At least, you try.

Can I just check: is Simon and Simon, in this context, a reference to Trevor and Simon (I'm assuming Simon was the less funny one, so this is like - "Yeah, you're the Wise and Wise of hilarous double acts", kind of thing) or is it a reference to forgetable 80s detective brothers Simon and Simon?

That depends if we're talking quantity again. Simon and Simon ran for eight series. I think BJ and B was pulled after just two. It seems there is much more mileage in the relationship between brothers than in the relationship between a truck driver and a chimp.
