-- How's it going everybody?

Well, this girl I've been kind of sort of dating, just hung up on me (see step 3), which has inspired me to write this list entitled:

"THE KING OF KARAOKE'S TOP TEN LIST OF WAYS TO MAKE FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE."

1) Screen all incoming phone calls. If it's a potential "new friend" you'll want a few days before getting back to them. If at all.

2) Make plans to get together with people but never actually do it.

3) Make plans to finally actually get together, then when they're on their way to your house, change your mind, call their cell, and tell them you've just realized you have a lot of stuff to do. When they say "No. We're going out! I'm getting off at your exit right now!", tell them, "Yeah sorry, I really have a lot of stuff to do." After they hang up on you, mope around the house for another two hours. After that kick back on the couch and watch "Kabhi Kushi Kabhie Gham..." that new hindi musical you just picked up. You'll laugh, you'll cry, but most of all...YOU'LL DANCE!!

4) On dates be sure to crank that 1983 copy of the "Death Cult" at full volume, singing every verse as if you are Ian Astbury back in 1983.

5) If the girl actually likes the "Death Cult" start seeing her on a regular basis. Invite her over a lot. Show her your sensitive side. When she tells you she's "falling for you", tell her, "me too". Then get scared two weeks later and dump her. Actually it's more effective if you don't even officially dump her, just don't answer the phone for awhile (see step 1).

6) If your "new friends" have access to a computer, constantly bombard them with ridiculous shit, until they come to realize that, you are a complete freak.
Here are a couple of great resources: http://www.n2.net/prey/bigfoot/ - http://www.oftm.com/chupa.html

7) Say weird shit as much as possible. For example, if you're with a group of people you have just met for the first time try this, "So..You guys like Baba Ganoush?" This is most effective during sports conversations.

8) If you decide to drink a few beers with your "new friends," collect the appropriate amount of money from each to buy a eighteen pack, then drink twelve of them.

9) When invited to be part of a gathering of potential "new friends" for their weekly "movie night" tell them, "Hey I know something we should watch." Then go rent "Hedwig and the Angry Inch."
Throughout the movie keep saying stuff like "Ooo! I love this part!"
Oh yeah, bring some form of protective head gear.

10) Last but most importantly. As a defensive stratagem against unexpected visits from "new friends", come to think of your tiny studio apartment as your "flatulance haven". Therefore allowing you the freedom to continuosly release flatus into the tiny enviroment you call home.
That usually puts a stop to that nonsense.
NOTE: If step 10 is properly executed, the basic greeting issued forth by said "new friend" should be a big smile, rapidly proceeded by a look of sheer terror.
Step ten works equally well for door to door solicitors, although certain religious groups appear to have a divine immunity.

Well, good luck! I gotta go walk around by myself somewhere.
Love your friend

OK, Gypsy, as part of joining the 100 club, you have to tell us all an interesting story. This internet 'meeting' will suffice as your offerring. :)

Ok, ill try dig my self out...what I emant by that is I think everyone these days does not really believe in that whole 'meeting that ONE on the net' or what ever, but in my experience, its very surprising the people you meet, and how fantastic the two of you can get on, and over a peroid of time develop feelings for this person youve only ever spoke to/typed too! SOunds silly..but i guess if the net wasnt ther, some of these people would never meet, which is a shame..I just meant i never intended or expected or wanted to meet some one who I would 'fall' for over the net...if you see what i mean, but its is possible, which is why its can have surprising consequences...

AM i out of the hole yet??

I know what you mean.
I tried the net thing and met nothing but weirdos.
I walked away thinking, "Yes! My people have a home!"
I've subsequently fallen deeply in love and am breeding.
Much to the dismay of the "normals" around me.

I love this list. It's fucking hilarious, seriously. I really like it. The internet is a great place to meet people cause you can find out about them without any sort of stupid social hangups...find out who they really are, talk about shit without being embarassed. The internet makes the world whole, in a way. It just sucks when you meet the coolest fucking person in the world only to find out they live ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GOD DAMN OCEAN.

I have been on the net over 12 years now, and seen a lot of this yearning shit go down. I have made some very good friends online, but easily 90% of the people I get along with online are absolutely unbearable in person. Myself included. That's just for being straight up friendly. Talkin romance type shit, that number drops to like 99.99% from what I have seen. Good luck, suckers.

With regard to KoK's post, I tend to find smearing feces on a new friend is effective.

I agree.
I mean, I know a lot of people that have gone on to have a fruitful relationship with someone whom they met on the internet. But many of these people do it for the wrong reasons. Such as they are unhappy within their relationships, or just plain desperate. haha.

Its all so easy for so many people on the interent, no face to face confrontations. Our society has become a society afraid of confrontations, and afriad of interacting face to face. And weve built up this world, that need be, you dont have to be have any face to face-ness wih any one.

But I think its amazing that you can meet all these people that you may have never before met. And yes, people can be different in real life. But thats not always going to be a bad thing. And if they are, so what? At least youve had some good times chatting on the net.

I know think that it is very possible to feel something for someone over the internet. But you have to be very in tune to bullshit, and know the crap from the jewels. Obviously you will never know for sure until you meet that person. But until then..

Rant over.

The internet is a gift and a curse at the same time. I think it really through a wrench into the way the world is supposed to operate, being that your contact is limited through those in your area, etc. Now, you can talk to and meet anyone in the world. Then, once a bond is formed, which is completely possible to do remotely, it becomes very hard to deal with the fact that you can't see that person right then, whenever you want to.

It's definitely easier to get to know people through the internet...like I say, it's easier to say how you really feel through text than in person. It's easier to weed through the people you're compatible with than it would be to date person after person after person, waiting till 10 dates and 3 months to find out that the person is really not the right one.

I've made some great friends over the internet, some of whom I met in person and some I've been wanting to meet. I have a friend from Canada that I've been enemy first, then good friends for a little more than 6 years. I have a friend from the Boston area whom I've known since roughly 1996...we stopped talking for a few years but we always had contact with eachother (I just never sent a message...I dunno, we changed). I met my first half-real girlfriend online when I was 15. I met some other cool kids from that same IRC channel. I've met a number of people from the AbstractPlain, including The Bennies, which pretty much caused me to move out here to PA. And then there's Mel; story in progress.

Conclusion: The internet makes meeting people easy.

This forum is the only forum I post on, and the FB.net members are pretty much the only people I've met on the internet. Quite frankly, I don't think I really know these people; Dean Katsiris once said it was likely that theswimmer and ebbvicious were same person; I think that if I were to guess which FB.net member made any given post in any given thread (without the clues like signatures), I would not do that well.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner Spudboy.
Thanks again for your blow up doll love making advice Thank's to it, I'm starting to feel like a real man again.
Because of that advice, you have become one of my favorites here on the Forum. Well, next to the MangyKid of course. No offense but he was the originator of the "Erotic Vulture" thread. Which when I think of that picture even two weeks later, it still makes me horny. Uh!! wistful! I mean it makes me wistful!
I also have a new found appreciation for Grapefruit flavored wine by MD 20/20. I used to poo poo it at first, but it's actually a very nice alley wine, in the $1.90 range.
So to the point. Yes I once, was also a big fan of the smearing of feces on humans as a means of impressing them. But now with all this E coli and salmonella nonsense, it's gotten a little too risky. Damn blood sucking lawyers!
Have you tried urinating on the humans? I hear that your body heat actually sterilizes much of it. Therefore making it a much safer alternative.
We live in a very litigious society Spudboy. It's sad but true. So be careful with whom you pick as potential friends. They may turn around and stab you in the back!

Hey KoK...you're right. Urine Is Sterile. Some say you can even drink it medicinally for up to two passes. Not sure what it's supposed to do, but I stick with bourbon for medicinal purposes. That makes my urine smell funny enough as it is. Oddly, though, the cat seems to like it. As far as making friends, you're right...I should cut back on the fecal rubbing. Also true that people are generally rotten backstabbing motherfuckers who would whore out your granny for a nickel. That's why I like eggs.

KoK, I've been wondering, and you seem like just the chap to ask this sort of thing of....so please lend me your ear:

Do potential friends like earwax as much as cats do?
