'cuzzy bro' is the correct term, and yes, i will do this gladly.

"cuzzy bro"? seriously?
― Lingbert, Friday, 2 January 2009 07:06 (fifteen years ago) link
it's not mandatory but cuzzy bro would add an authentic nz note to the charade.
― estela, Friday, 2 January 2009 07:48 (fifteen years ago) link
i would be embarrassed if someone referred to me as their cuzzy bro
― Lingbert, Friday, 2 January 2009 08:20 (fifteen years ago) link
scuzzy broad
― jergins, Friday, 2 January 2009 08:45 (fifteen years ago) link
to be 100% honest i am not in the habit of calling people my cuzzy bros.

also if you invite ilxors to your wedding, you could just lie to your parents about how you know us. what better way to start off that phase of your life than by lying to your family?

lol. gr8080 knows one of my college roommates and i'm not sure whether or not he told her how we know each other...

the funnest part about telling your family the truth is to tell it in a way that doesn't tell the truth at all.
"this is estela. we lived in the same house in wellington."
"please meet jergins and lxy and lingbert. we participated together in an international cultural exchange last summer."
etc.

at a bar with some people a couple weeks ago we did the "this is lingbert. he is the guy from the internet. that's how we met him." it led to lots of ooohs and ahhs and "you don't look like you'd be from the internet" type comments.
― jergins, Friday, 2 January 2009 20:43 (fifteen years ago) link
once i told a friend that i knew all these people she was meeting from the internet and she thought it was really neat, but i don't think most people feel that way. tbh, at this point i feel like there shouldn't be the stigma. my "bff" met her bf from a message borad and even my dad has message borad friends.

my girlfriend calls you guys "internets" as in "what are your internets doing for new years"
― max max max max, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:24 (fifteen years ago) link
except for u t since shes met u actually
lol and grady for some reason
i wouldn't tell my school friends about people from the internet because they already make fun of me for things and think i'm weird but i don't think my real friends (ie the ones i like) care. my dad has msg borad friends to but i don't think of them being the same as my msg borad friends for some reason.
― harbl, Friday, 2 January 2009 21:28 (fifteen years ago) link
i imagine lingy looks like someone from the internet because he is someone from the internet
i imagine your dads being into trains

yeah his board is about carpentry or houses or some crap (i will never look at it!) but lately he's been talking about a thread about israel/palestine and i cringe when i hear about it because those threads are always cringe-worthy and i wish he would realize that and not post on them or at least not talk about posting on them
― harbl, Friday, 2 January 2009 22:06 (fifteen years ago) link
my dad's borad is about his car. they have "meetups".
― tehresa, Friday, 2 January 2009 22:10 (fifteen years ago) link
what kind of car like a dodge stratus or a ford taurus
― harbl, Friday, 2 January 2009 22:14 (fifteen years ago) link
or some other dad car
jk lol
midlife crisis car, obv!
― tehresa, Friday, 2 January 2009 22:16 (fifteen years ago) link
can you imagine sitting your dad down and giving him the talk: "what you're doing is trolling. you can think as much shit as you want about domestic cars, but you don't need to say it."
― jergins, Friday, 2 January 2009 22:59 (fifteen years ago) link
my dad doesn't frequent internet forums, but there have been people who have talked shit on him online on forums that are related to his hobby.
― Lingbert, Friday, 2 January 2009 23:05 (fifteen years ago) link
i think my dad may indeed be a troll. he said someone called him a skinhead and the thread was locked lol
― harbl, Friday, 2 January 2009 23:13 (fifteen years ago) link
you guys are all invited to the wedding!! shit, my parents are totally cool with jordan so i doubt they'd have a problem with internet friends who are 'just friends' ;)
so i got to talk to my family and they are actually SUPER FREAKIN HAPPY. i told my mum the reason i didnt call was because i didn't want to burst into tears etc. and she said 'that would have made two of us!' lol
and when i said to my dad 'don't stress about making it over for the wedding cuz it's super expensive etc.' he said he'll do whatever it takes to be here, including selling the car!
my nana's response to the news: 'about time she settled down' lol

'his hobby' conjures up an image of a splendid castle made out of toothpicks and plasticine.
― estela, Saturday, 3 January 2009 07:17 (fifteen years ago) link
people were trashing him online because his plasticine toothpick castle was much more splendid than theirs
― Lingbert, Saturday, 3 January 2009 07:21 (fifteen years ago) link
their castles were small and crooked with big gobs of glue on them and their royal families had fucked up plasticine faces.
― estela, Saturday, 3 January 2009 07:34 (fifteen years ago) link
this brings back memories of when i fucked up my model of a pueblo indian dwelling in 5th grade.
thanks a lot.

HEY RUBYi don't know if i'm supposed or if i need to say this because it's been an eventuality (in my mind) since i've known you but HEY CONGRATULATIONS
― jergins, Sunday, 4 January 2009 01:54 (fifteen years ago) link

it has pretty much been an eventuality for about the last year, but still it's nice to make a semi 'formal' announcement about it.
i am currently RING HUNTING!! i'm kinda embarrassed by the girly-ness of it, but hey.
