shmoo's bored board question

shmoo · **Posted:** Sat Apr 15, 2006 1:41 pm

I've met 17: KPH, shiv, neuroboy, Mrs. Neuro, OPA!, FT, Sketch, Aural Fixation, HaqDiesel, Joey Crack, Prince of Darkness, Z, SpontaneousPoet, Charli, Spade Kitty, robotboy, red.

I didn't count former posters velouria, lockstock, WhineyCMJ, tomcmj, [nico], Josh B, DS Bruce Robertson, newt, bluestar, or altruism, even though some of them were quite prolific back in the day. Some I only met after they quit the board, actually.

3. Bloor, Derris, and I shook discostu's hand.

Handshakes count. I only met Josh B and robotboy for a few minutes each.

Yail Bloor · **Posted:** Sat Apr 15, 2006 1:53 pm

From the board: 2 (discostu and drinky)

But I knew LooGar, Rick Derris, Pagoda, Cap'n Squirrgle, Busty Rhodes, Harry Monster & albion before the board.

I had lunch in Chicago once upon a time with Matt, Katie, Aaron, who else...neZ, geoducks...I think that was it. And I've met discostu.

this is by the names that i most commonly associate them with, not necessarily what their board names are now, if they're still even on this board.

aural fixation, charli, cotton, cybin, death to shoegaze 666, dmb04, duffer, el_scorcho, josh b, lockstock, montythemongoose, prince of darkness, red, robotboy, shmoo, soreal, south pacific, spade kitty, spontaneouspoet, tthorn, timmyjoe42.

okay, so that's 21. i miscounted when i voted. i knew two of those people before this board, have met a few of them only once, and would count a few of them as actual friends. oh, and i saw dhrjericho and back_space at a belle & sebastian show, but only learned that the next day.

No one yet, but I'm Georgia bound this October.

Zero. Us Canadians are all cold and unfriendly-like.

Whoops. Forgot to count OPA!. Edited my original post.

Yeah, but some of those people you counted don't really post anymore, so you're probably squarely in the 16-20 range anyway.

Amazingly, considering I'm a) a recluse and b) marooned in the North-West frontier of Europe, I've met three fellow Obnerians.

Sketch, Katie, A Princess and Aural Fixation.

Perhaps even more amazingly they all agreed to meet me more than once.

Who are mr matt, O Stihl, and p-star? Also, I think timmyjoe should be bolded.

HaqDiesel · **Posted:** Sat Apr 15, 2006 3:48 pm

Whoops - p-star == p-spot. I was trying to remember whether I met BLUEstar in boston or not.

mr matt is a friend of mine who posted a couple times and lurked/lurks. O Stihl is my little brother who saw me log on here when i was home for a weekend and proceeded to post, and to catch flack for asking the kinds of questions that 15-year-olds ask.

He, no different than beeok, took his ball and went home... Well, to ilm or something, but, anyway.

He didn't want to have to deal with morons anymore who don't know when a ten song, pseudo ep was released in '03 in Japan and Korea, even if it didn't hit 'til '05 in the States.

Awesome, though I'm somewhat baffled that you and oldbullee still have never managed to hang at some point.
