Joking around online

I just had Ned start his first thread. It is an ettiquete question:

Dinner etiquette question.

This happened to a friend of mine. Say you’ve meeting your gf’s parents over dinner and they feed you some bad food. You feel your stomach churning, but before you can excuse yourself, you find yourself heaving. You hold it in your mouth, but you don’t know where the bathroom is. There’s nowhere to run. Everyone looks at you and sees you making strange faces, but you can’t answer their questions. Your gf’s father then says “He’s choking!” and runs over to give you the Heimlich maneuver. Should you just grab a plate, fall to the floor let go on it? Or should you let him Heimlich you and spew all over the table, letting everyone think you heaved from choking rather than the food?

The post stayed up an hour before they deleted it. Party poopers!

I've done a couple of those on Match as a test. I've never tried chatting in a forum as a woman. Golly, that would seem kinda dishonest. And I would really have zero chance of finding a good woman that way. Playing a man gives me SOME chance of finding a wacked out woman who can deal with me.

As you can see Ned has one favorite. Some woman in Iowa.

What on earth are you guys talking about? - Ned?; Chadster?

For the record, I'd just let the dude Heimlich me to save myself [more] embarrassment that I would have got by just puking. Strangely-enough, I actually DID puke-up a dinner made by my ex-girlfriend's family once. It was spaghetti bolognese (I think her younger sister cooked it) but, after a night out drinking, I ended-up puking the whole dinner all over my lap on the bus home. What's worse is that I then fell asleep after I puked, missed my stop, and woke up in a town 15km from my own town.

I'll post what's going on if you like Chucky. The Chadster was the most fun, but he got banned pretty quickly. I wasn't going to do another phony profile. But it was so much FUN. I cooked up The Garbageman after reading a story about a guy who built a house out of garbage. He was pretty popular - had 12 favorites. After he was gone I came up with Needy Ned. It could have been Clingy Craig.

I generally keep profiles for a year and then ditch them unless they get banned earlier. But it's possible to have multiple profiles on there. It gives me an idea for a contest. Do you want to create PoF profiles and see who can get the most people to favorite them? I've seen women with over 1000 favorites.

Would I lie? I think I recall it being a true story. I googled it to get ideas about what to write. A guy claimed he did it.

Bugger - yes - sorry - I forgot about that pofile that you created. Out of curiosity, where did you hear the story about the garbageman? There was once a guy in Dublin who lived in an alley and it appeared that he had made a hut of some sort out of old mattresses and pieces of cardboard. On that note, I don't understand why we can't just help these people find jobs and a house. You know? - just something to get them off their feet.

I can't recall where I heard the real garbageman story. maybe on the TV news. Probably online somewhere.

On the topic of jobs. Some people just won't or can't work. I've run into that type - usually mentally ill. I had one psych patient come to work for me and all he wanted to do was eat. He kept staring at the food. He kept saying he had heartburn and needed a milkshake to help. I had another guy who never showed up. I gave him 3 days, but he kept coming up with an excuse not to show. One time he wanted to play volleyball. Others will work, but only if they get hourlong smokebreaks - one hour of work alternating with one hour of smoking. I actually have a guy working for me who is like that. I've got him up to 90 minutes without a smoke. I had another guy come to work for me cleaning up. He made it 30 minutes before he quit. It looked like he had run a marathon. His face was all red and he was sweating lime a pig. I think that was the only 30 minutes he had worked in his whole life. He's a schizo and he's obsessed with some police dispatcher. He told me once how he ran into the State attorney's offce and started yelling at him and pounding on the desk.

Yeh, you run your own company, don't you? Well, as far as I remember, you do. As an employer - yeh - I can understand how you would have met many diverse employees (both potential and otherwise). If you had me on board though, I'd never disappoint you. You know those guys in films who are, like, the evil villain's best side-kick? - That's what I am (the side-kick). You could trust me with anything and I'd have no issues with being bossed around!

Not my own company I'm afraid. It's a State run food service operation so I have a boss who knows nothing but who still tells me what to do sometimes. It's a real Dilbert situation. Do you get Dilbert over there?

The lazy guy is not my hire - my boss hired him. There's no way I can get rid of him. I don't think he's smart enough to know that. I worry that he will figure it out and then I'll never be able to get him to work. One day I had to shut down very early because everyone else was sick and he just didn't feel like working. He said he had to do some shopping. So I had to either shut down or do everything by myself. I shut down. If my boss had complained about it I would have pointed out that it was HER hire who refused to help out.
