Ever try to explain part of the Internet to someone with disastrous results?

[nate1000]

For example: One day I attempted to explain goatse to my wife. She didn't get it. So I put it in context: "see someone asks a stupid question on a msg board, you respond here is a link and they are treated to a screen of horror burning out their eyes".

Nothing.
Blank stare.

Ok, maybe I should switch gears. So I try tubgirl. That was a mistake. By the time I got to meatspin, she's thinking divorce and get the kids out of the house immediately.

I'm currently considering introducing her to the humor of "Surprise! Buttseckz" I am certain it is not going to end well.

Coming from a broken household, I can tell you that divorce should be the furthest from your mind in any situation.

However, if she fails to see the humor in "Surprise! Buttseckz" you have no option, and should run, not walk, to your lawyer.

Yeah, I tried to explain it to my dog and he bit me. Sometimes, I really think that dogs dont have any brains or patience but then he suprises me and talks about philosophy for hours and hours and hours....

[nate1000]

My wife did, however, enjoy "I believe you have my stapler" on YTMND.

[topless_mike]

Yeah, I tried to explain it to my dog and he bit me.

was that the "is it ok to masturbate in front of your pet" thread?
i'd bite you too, sexy boy.

I've given up trying to explain this place to my wife.

She thinks I"m a huge internet nerd.

Our wives should get together to make fun of us.

Then we can go to the nudie bar when they're not looking.

I just told my wife about this thread and she's says, "is that the place where you call yourself Bama?" I told her yes and she rolled her eyes and immediately changed the subject.

That wasn't as bad as when I told her about organizing the DC Bar night last January.

MOST. AWKWARD. CONVERSATION. EVER.


No one understands us.

Amen.
I tried showing my wife the "person above you" thread.

See this guy posts and then she post and says he's got diarrhoea because his avatar is on a toilet, yes, avatar is this thing, and then beneath her it says she's faaar out, because she's a stoner, get it, and then the person below that says this guy is obsessed with his cock because it's a big thing that he's gay, but he isn't really, well he might be, well everyone is... where are you going?

[AngelAmy]

my friends are so used to be referring to stugots in regular convo and while looking at my address book on my cell phone they are now used to more board names on the list than not

i dont even try to explain to people how i met my boyfriend on a messageboard

when i first signed up to the boards i would try to explain to people and they looked at me like this :blink: so now i just try not to bring up anything about messageboards and if i want to about something that happened i will just say my friend.

my mom was HORRIFIED when a newly turned 17 year old Amy tried to explain to her how she was going to take a bus into the city to meet with her opie and anthony fan friends...but now shes gotten over it....i think...(although the opie tattoo freaked her out)


and when nick mentioned orly.....every time i say "oh really" to someone i have this big stupid grin on my face and nobody else understands why its so humerous.

this is why i killed all my real life friends...i mean................:innocent:

I have some friends that are fans of the show. A few listen religiously. They also check the board from time to time. They are the "visitors" we see every day. At a recent party I heard, how can you possibly have 15,000 posts. I cleared my throat and said 16,000.

They don't realize that I am here from 7 a.m. until bedtime. And I can shoot out 20 posts, no problem, in a listening thread alone.

The wife knows almost nothing about messageboards, but she lets me go to events and even have some people over.
She doesn't get LOLZ catz, though.

Amy, if your mother shit over the Opie Tat, wait until she gets a look at the Hottub tat!!:lol:

Holy Shit!! That is too fucking funny. I can just picture a mom saying that!!:lol:



He's just a board guy. But, like, he's got lasers in his eyes, and *slurp* in his garage he has a workbench to, like, make light sabres and stuff.

[AngelAmy]

its so funny because when we first first first got the internet her number one rule was no meeting people from the internet and now some of my closest friends are from one messageboard or another.


FUCK THE RULES! :smoke:

I've been here five years and I still don't understand the "person above you" thread.

[AngelAmy]

[Marc with a c]

[Devo37]

Beerbandit and I got together with our wives for dinner one night. It was shortly after Norton's "DO YA?" bit started. So when we were talking about RonFez.net, we were answering each other and our wives with "DID THEY?".

Neither of the ladies were amused.

In their defense, it's not very funny even when Jimmy does it.

I had to smack Matty to make him stop.

It's my understanding that the internet is a series of tubes.
