Is it normal that you'd like to thank someone here...

Has someone helped you, made you laugh, enlightened you, entertained you, stuck up for you, made you feel better, happier or more normal? Has someone done something, no matter how small, that you appreciated?

If so, it's time to put on your "thanking cap" and let them know. It's not about popularity; it's about appreciation of the small acts of random kindness we all bestow upon each other here on a daily basis.

It doesn't have to be an obvious choice. In some ways, it'd be better if it wasn't. Let's show some appreciation for the regulars and non-regulars alike. :D

        Haha. I originally said. "the last time i pissed the bed i was really drunk.....and i wasn't sleeping......just standing up pissing all over it"

        I made a smartass reply to one of your stories to which your reply was "fuck you asshole go piss all over your bed" . Am i confusing you with somebody else?

          hehe...thank you, too, then! To be honest, i didn't expect to be on ANYONE's list. Not here that long and rather on&off kind of person.
          I also recognize many of the regulars(you among them) but have a hard time yet actually distinguishing their "styles" by heart(as in, was that your answer, jweezees, or shacklefords-). To sum it up: Sorry if that sounds stupid, but: I'm glad you're here, but i couldn't tell you why without looking things up ^_^

  • I'm a bit late to my own party, typically. I like the people who make me smile, make me laugh, teach me things, or just make the site a better place to be. In no particular order, we have amazing trolls here. Jweezee, devilla and djpatties; you're NOT doing it wrong. That's a trolling masterclass right there for any budding underbridge dwellers.

    Then we've got the smarties who tell me something I don't know (and find interesting). People like wigsplitz, lc1988, NeuroNeptunian, Angel_in_a_Glass_Dress. Special mention to wigsplitz for making me aware of three new things in the space of about 24 hours (that's a high hit-rate), and also to lc1988 (vaginal bacteria, I was genuinely fascinated).

    Then there are the cool dudes, the chilled-out, laid back, genuinely nice people like DannyKanes, charli.m, aussiewolf and Captain_Kegstand (special mention to him as he was the first person on the site to extend a friendly welcome to me. Nice guy!) and the people who are wise (joybird and wigsplitz again, from experience it sounds like, but also people like dom180, Allison89, obscurereason, Megid, and Ono, who always have something worthwhile to say).

    Then there are the people I find myself noticing because they think like me (disthing, Legion, NoraBaker, Ldizzy1234, sleepingbeauty). Also the people who don't think like me (nobleserpent and ItDuz) but are worth hearing. Then we have a little group of people who make the site better (Saycheese, ...Space_Ghost?, Anime7, lulz, Shackleford96, PumpkinKate, Avant-Garde). I like them all. Special mention to ...Space_Ghost? though, who is becoming everyone's favourite "spirit in the sky". Lights up a room, that one.

    Then there are the people who don't really have a category. PapaGee (who scares me a bit. I always think he's going to wrestle me. Some days I kind of hope he would). shuggy-chan (who jumps about the site like Tigger). Faceless (unique talent and a funny, funny man). And Frosties (that dude's got a stripey tail).

      • I know a little bit about this stuff and have an interest but you know a lot more. To be honest, what you said has been running around my mind since I first read it. Just made me really curious and I do genuinely appreciate someone who does that.

        More than anything, you made me wonder why vaginal bacteria is more mobile than mouth stuff. It made me wonder what it does and why it needs to get around. And I realised I don't have the first clue.

        • lc1988

          Well, if you think about it, bacterial flora of the mouth have a free ride. Food, air, and water constantly pass through the mouth cavity. Food gets stuck between your teeth and the bacteria on the food have found a perfect little niche to start colonizing. Fun fact: Bacteria talk to each other through quorum sensing to start the biofilm formation. Also, if resources are running in short supply, programmed cell death occurs to part of the colony to save the others. Pretty cool eh? Anyways, with the mouth constantly moving and saliva swirling every which way, all the bacteria have to do is stick to something, even the throat on the way down.

          Now, urogenital bacteria is a bit different, at least for the pathogens. Good ol' E. coli is a good example. You wipe back to front one day, placing E. coli from your anus to the opening of the urethra or the vagina. Now what? It needs to move to find a niche. It's not like in the mouth where it's a big party. Good bacteria are bitches to the E. coli. It needs to keep swimming through the mucosa to find a niche, preferably further up with less oxygen present. They all have their little quirks about the perfect environment for each species...and this was pretty generalized but hopefully you see the point. Another fun fact: Syphilis actually does a corkscrew motion to penetrate cells and infect. Research is still ongoing about how they do this.

          Side Note: My favorite bacteria would have to be myxococcus xanthus..aka "the wolf pack." They literally move in unison and devour prey. There's a few videos of this..I used to post it in the chat haha. Anyways, bacteria are complex contrary to popular belief just because they are small.
          Ah sorry I got carried away.

              Haha Yup! Back in the day, I was going for pharmacy school but I took my first general microbiology course and I was hooked! I am more partial to bacteria than viruses, fungi, and archaea.

    Saycheese, you're as sweet and cute as your cookies!
    joybird, you're my internet aunt!
    djpatties, you are such a lovable prick!
    Avant-Garde, you're artsy and wordsy!
    Space_Ghost, I don't know you well but I do know you are smart and sweet and have a lot of good things ahead of you!
    nobleserpent, you are an entity.
    dom180, you are very smart but I wish you thought like me, then we could be partners instead of arch enemies!
    ItDuz, you are always thinking, and I like the WAY you think. I just wish you'd think about something besides women vs men!
    Frosties, you're caring and liberal and still very manly. Oh, and smart too!

    There's so many more!! I wish I could name you all!! I enjoy reading what pretty much everyone has to add to the picture!! How else am I going to learn how to conquer the world if I don't know all of your hopes, dreams, fears and weaknesses...(oops, did I say that out loud?) Just kidding....

  • dom180

    I really can't name everyone, and I won't try. And I really can't thank everyone individually, but anyone who I've ever had any sort of conversation with I've very much enjoyed talking to, all for different reasons. Many of you have challenged my opinions, have taught me new things, and have made me hone and adjust my opinions accordingly. Learning is one thing I aim to do while I'm here, and I've done a lot of it. Anyone who has ever agreed with me, I thank you too for giving me the confidence to stand my ground. To me, learning doesn't necessarily mean changing what you believe in; it can just mean reenforcing what you thought was true. Either way, you've taught me a lot about life, romantic relationships, friendly relationships, politics, "the system", possible faults in my own personality and attitude... I could go on and on.

    Another thing that I think IIN is great for is the obvious one, solving people's problems. Every time I've had a problem, IIN has helped me solve it. Just writing here makes me feel closer to solving my problems. I'm a better person from the advice I've been given here, and more importantly the advice I've received vicariously from other people's stories.

    The thing I have to thank our community most for is that it'll always be here. The fact that here is a place where I will always be accepted gives me the confidence to do more than I normally would in my real life, and make me more and more comfortable coming out of my shell. If my real life went down the tubes, as it were, I'd always have the wonderful people at IIN to understand and accept me.

    The new people on IIN are great. There was a time when IIN had, for me, lost it's charm when a lot of long-time regulars left, but the new generation of IIN members are really great and I love everyone here. I wish I could give everyone here a big hug, even though some of them would probably stab in the back while they did it! But that's the sort of people you are, and I love it.

    I wasn't going to do a list, but here's everyone I remember off the top of my head. I tried to put in people from a long time ago who I still remember, but there'll be some I've forgotten I'll do more if I remember more people; I hope I got all your names, syntaxes and numbers right, I can't apologise enough if I didn't. I find they get longer as we continue because I wrote them all in alphabetical order, but here we go:

    alv1592 - been here forever; you're one of those people I've never really talked to but always noticed and liked

    Angel_In_A_Glass_ Dress - often gives good advice and good fun, even if I don't agree with half the words you say! You're a bright person

    Anime - I still remember you before the numbers after name, and I was genuinely sad when I thought you might've gone forever. You're great to have a talk with

    Avante-Garde - you're a really interesting and good person. I always notice the stories you post as interesting, and I can often apply them to myself, which I always a good thing

    bananaface - you're not normally here these days, but if you ever read this: you were one of my favourite people even to come here, and one of the few people that if I even knew in real life I'm sure we'd've been great friends. Sometimes I've even thought we might've made more than that. Either way, I'll always remember you as a great person

    charlie.m - I've seen you in the Chat often when I've been there, which is really not often enough. We'd get on well I thing, but we've never really talked

    Dad - I'm sure you'll never read this, because you were only here for a few short weeks, but I really liked your attitude and your advice. So much so that I still remember you, so you must've done a lot right

    dappled - you know how highly I think of you, I don't need to say it again. You're such a genuinely great person, and I know lots of people agree. You'd've loved this story, and when you next come back, as I believe you will, I hope you see it. I've laughed and nearly cried at some of the things you've written

    Dazzled - you were smart, and I liked you a lot. I was disappointed you never stuck around

    disthing - you're a smart but also laid-back person, I think. We never spoke all that often, but a lot of what you have to say resonates with me

    DolphinAngel - I had to add you in at the end, because I forgot you. We've had some illuminating talks

    Floydzie - again, we didn't talk much, but I believe you're a good person who has often been wrongly attacked. I like you, and I think most people here would agree with me

    flutterhigh/taciturn - I'm still sure you're the same person, but I don't know if you're here in any other form now or not. Very funny, very very intelligent and a good person to debate with on both sides. One of my favourite people while you were here

    Frosties - I've pointed out how much I like you before, but I really think you're a great IIN member. The whole package: smart, whimsical sense of humour, not too serious nor too laid-back. I hope you stay here for a long time

      Continueing:

      ItDuz - you're a tricky person to analyze. I've been trying to work you out for as long as I've been here and I still can't. The only thing I know for certain is that we're not enemies

      Joybird - you're another person I really rate. I wasn't really sure when I first came here what to think of you, but I like you. You've rubbed off on me, which sounds far dirtier than I meant it to. I'm sure you'll be here for a while. You're the sort of person who I've never felt has many enemies, which is a great quality. You're a good story-teller

      Jweezee - I'll be honest, I didn't like you at first. But after seeing more of you, I conclude that you're a great guy who's comments I enjoy reading very, very much

      Katywompus - I haven't seen you for so long, but I think this is the correct spelling. We had a lot of fun when we talked, I liked you. If you're ever back, it'd be nice to talk again.

      lc1988 - you're a chilled out sort of girl. I like your attitude, people warm to you easily. That's all I can say as we've not talked a lot!

      LDizzy1234 - again, we've not talked. But I always notice you, which is great, and more often than not I like what you say

      Legion - I very rarely spot you, but, like a rare big cat, it's always a pleasure to see one

      liiaaa3 - and so we come to you! I really enjoyed reading your comments, and the times when we talked were very, very good. I thought a lot of you, probably more than I let on. One of the people I'd've most liked to meet in real life, and I think we'd have got on incredibly together very well

      NeuroNeptunian - you're a really good all-round commentator. Smart, occasionally witty, well-spoken... all the things I like in people who take themselves seriously

      NobleSerpent - I'm still not sure if you're a troll. Whether you're a troll or legit, you must be very clever. If you are one, you're my favourite troll these days

      PumpkinKate - you give great advice and have a lovely personality. I've always thought highly of you as a person who's very smart and can show it off without being arrogant

      radar - you are a really clever person, one of the cleverest. The sort of personality I can really relate to. I ALWAYS like reading what you say, which I can hardly say for anyone else

      SayCheese - you said this to me, and I'll say it to you; we don't talk to each other. But I like reading from you, when I do

      Shackleford96 - I like it when we talk, you're a genuinely nice person and you seem to have bright ideas. Definitely the sort of person who binds the community together

      shuggy-chan - have we talked before? I'm not sure, but I like reading about you an awful lot. Interesting person who I have a couple of things in common with from what I know of you, but I know very little of you!

      SoccerStud88 - by way of making up the numbers, you were a troll with the remarkable talent of not being banned for so long. I'm not sure if you ever were, or left willingly

      ...Space_Ghost? - one of my favourite new members; you're nice, smart and have a great personality. I really, sincerely hope you have a good life, and I'd like to see you stick around. IIN needs people like you

      wigsplitz - what can I say? Always nice to have a shouting match with you, and I admire your strength of belief, even if it is so often directly opposed to mine. Definitely a clever cookie

        Aw thank you. I always read your comments too.

        I can come across as rather blunt but funnily enough I've just realised that I don't make enemies - I don't know how you knew this. Strange! I rarely form opinions on people and / or can't remember their names so don't get dragged into the female bitching nonsense, that gets repeated to them! I prefer to laugh things off and think everybody should have as easy a life as possible.

        I always think it's easier to explain my point by citing an example - and as I'm sooooo old, I've lived a lot of the teen, 20s, and 30s experiences, except drugs :o)

        Thank you Dom! I think you are one of the best philosophical type minds on IIN and I usually always enjoy reading what you have to say, even though I don't comment/join in on the discussions myself very much.

          Not a problem, thank you for being here! :) As I've always said, it isn't necessary to take part in a discussion to learn from it and appreciate it; in fact it shows good balance and level-headed-ness to not join in, which I've always thought is an equally valuable trait to have.

        Another one I forgot:

        Ono - I always forget about you, but I tend to agree with a lot of what you say and you often say what I was going to say before I can say it. I don't think I usually give you enough credit for being as insightful as you are.

    I dunno if this'll all fit. Ah well.

    In no particular order...

    lc1988 - you were so welcoming on chat, taking a chance with a new person who could have turned out to be a creeper (and giving me good advice on how to deal with creepers, too). You always crack me up and chatting to you is always great.

    shuggy-chan - you're adorably crazy...it's a very good thing :) and sharing weird youtube stuff is endless fun.

    DannyKanes - you're unbelievably nice, almost too nice to be real, but you're completely genuine. I'm still waiting for more of your novel btw :)

    dom180 - you've always been one of my favourite users, right from the start. You're always intelligent and insightful.

    RoyalKnight - and your previous incarnations. I just get a good vibe from you, even though I've barely talked to you.

    ItDuz - You're smart and I like how you think, even if I don't always agree with you.

    dot123 and buntaboss25k - now that I'm not scared of you both anymore, I enjoy chatting with you both, you're always good value.

    Failedcasanova - you're a genuinely nice guy, and easy to talk with. It's fun to share crazy kid stories, too.

    PumpkinKate - You're just amazing. I love reading your comments.

    NeuroNeptunian - never really been in contact with you on site or chat, but I always love your answers.

    djpatties - I LOVED the way you dealt with some of the freaks on chat. I literally laughed til I hurt. I was wary of you at first, thinking that was all you had until chatting with you. Sorry to out it publically, but you're also a really nice, very funny guy :)

    Shackleford96 - You're so funny, smart and sweet. I've really liked your sense of humour, right from when I started coming here.

    ...space_ghost? - you're such a sweetheart and ray of sunshine. Please never stop :)

    joybird - I like your no nonsense approach and advice, and your sense of fun.

    Angel_in_a_glass_dress - You always have great advice and a fantstic sense of humour.

    Anime7 - I'm really glad you kept coming back, and that you don't seem to have had to reincarnate for a while. I've always enjoyed your posts.

    Frosties - I like how you think. And you're damned funny. Don't stop that, ok?

    Jweezee - your comments always crack me up.

    Who_Fan4life - you just crack me up in general :)

    devilla - I can remember one of your comments making me laugh so hard I thought I'd busted an internal organ. Good times.

    Faceless - god you're funny...and a little bit evil :)

    And for those no longer with us (theoretically...)

    Ollieo - well before my time, but I LOVED this guys opinions. I still get excited when I see his comments on an old story, cos they were always very smart, respectful and well thought through.

    flutterhigh - the first post of his I read, I thought he was a total jerk, but reading more, I kinda got his sense of humour more, and I miss that.

    taciturn - very deep. I missed the smart arse side of him, though.

    Dozis - dozis was fucking crazy! I still haven't worked out if he was genuinely nuts, or just taking the piss, but god I wish I'd saved some of that shit. Of all the laughs from this site, I think dozis' posts were the ones I got the most from. The ones that weren't downright fucked up, that is.

    Pala - already mentioned.

    There's probably others, but it's midnight, I'm buggered, and I'm also procrastinating.

    Man I have to make a list. lol. Well here we go, here's to the people that I want to thank that I can think right off hand:

    ...Space_Ghost?- You are truely a really sweet girl and I know you have a great future ahead of you. I love the innocence you have too, don't get rid of it. :) You truely are a smart girl even if you may not think it. Just keep your chin up.

    Shackleford- You are a really sweet guy and a true goofball. I love your funny goofy comments you give. I also like our video game and music discussions we've had, even if they were small.

    Frosties- I love your sense of humor, it most certainly is unique. You give rather unique comments too, and I do agree on a lot of your advice that is given to others and me too.

    Anime7- You really don't belong in your age group. You are too smart to be that old. I think it is facinating on how you view the world too. I enjoy the advice that you give others.

    Joybird- You seem like a rather fun gal to hang out with. I like the advice you give to the teens, you most certainly are like a mom to me and I'm sure others. You give rather direct and mature advice. I pretty much agree on all the advice you give to me and others.

    NeuroNeptunian- I love the rather smart and funny advice you give others. When I first seen the comments that you gave, I thought you were older than you really are. I really am some what jealous of your intelligance. You are really a strong girl or I should say woman at your age too. Glad I entertained you in the chat room also.

    djpatties- Don't say you don't give good advice. When I first started my account on here you really had helped me and I know you didn't know that. I had kept myself somewhat hidden at the time. You have to be the best troll on here though... you are really funny. I also enjoy talking to you in the chat room.

    Jweezee- You are also a sweetheart too. :) I enjoy your funny and smart comments. You really remind me of one of my old guy friends too... really enjoyed his company.

    Wigsplitz- I enjoy your "mean" somewhat smart alecie comments. You really are a nice woman though and truely funny. I like your honestness that you have and I know for sure nobody can get in your way.

    Shuggy-chan- All I have to say is that you are a dork. lol. You are truely a nice guy and I enjoy our little chats in the chatroom.

    Parrish- I don't really know you that well, but I love the fact you aren't a loser since you like Led Zeppelin. :)

    dom180- We really haven't talk on here much but I enjoy your comments. You are another young guy that seems too intelligant for your age, you are a sweet guy.

    PapaGee- I love the fact you still feel and act young at your age. When I see your comments I always have to smile. Not all older folks are grumpy, you are a good example. :) You give great advice too... it sure helps me.

    shade_ilmaendu- You are a sweet girl with a defininate unique personality. I agree on several of your comments and like the advice you give to others.

    chewy- everytime I see your name I think of chewbacca. I don't know you that well though but you are funny and sweet.

    PumpkinKate- I love the smart advice you give to others and you really are a good person. You really are rather intelligant too and sometimes I feel like you look at me like I'm below you when I know you don't.

    ItDuz- I like the honest true facts advice you give to others. I like seeing your battles with other people when they think they are better and think that you are truely sensitive on the net, come on it's the net. I agree on most of the advice you give, not all but "most".

    Norabaker- I love your sence of humor, it always enlightens my day. You are a sweet girl for sure. :)

    Angel_in_a_glass_dress- whenever I see your name now I think of the show bad news bears. :) I really like your advice that you give too.

    I hope I didn't leave anybody out... but I enjoy everybody's advice even if I don't agree on it. Everybody on this site has a very different and unique personality. Thanks everybody... :D

When I responded to my own post, your name came to mind very easily as you can probably see. I knew I was going to write something extra about our friendly ghost, so I put you first in the list. That way, both of you would have something. Because you both deserve it. :)

    Well this isn't so much of a thank you but more of an appreciation for other commentators. I'd like to make a shout in appreciate to my fellow choir members: Shackleford, SayCheese, and Space Ghost.

    Space Ghost, I appreciate the conversations that we get into. Your such a nice a person and I'm sure that you have a bright future ahead of you. I hope that someday you put your thoughts into reality and make those video games that you have thought up in your head.

    Shackleford, I think that your opinions are always great to read and your a hilarious guy.

    SayCheese, your comments are always a delight to read and your opinions are usually said in a truthful yet comedic way, which is nice.

    Their are a few others who make this website great. Out of the top of my head I can only said dom180 and ItDuz.

    LOOK OVER HERE! HEY, LOOK AT ME!

    That was just a little gimmick to see if anyone will read this, lmao. But I'll give in and I'll ''do the list.'' But before I do, to the people that are not on this list, it probably means that I don't know you enough to comment, but don't feel offended! To all the people that are on the list here goes (in no particular order).

    Lc1988- What can I say. You're funny as hell, and I like how you're smart as hell at the same time. We've had a lot of laughs in the chat, and a lot of great conversations! <3 ya!

    Floydz- You are smart, and really funny. And yes, you WERE my wife in our previous life. I love how we can share our musical tastes and have some great laughs like usual. <3 you!

    Dot123- Dot, Cody, Cheese, whatever your name is. You are the man. I've known you for a long time and we can always talk about whatever, at any time. We've shared a lot of great conversations and have had a ton of great laughs!

    Omglula- Lula, you are literally the wackiest, and the funniest girl on the site. Your bitchy humor really makes me laugh very hard most of the time. And yet, we can still have some great conversations! <3 ya!

    Shuggy-Chan- After all the times I've made fun of you in the chat for your poor spelling and grammar, I just want to reiterate that I don't intend to hurt your feelings at all. You're a funny person and an important member to the chat!

    FailedCasanova- You're a really down-to-Earth guy and you say what you wanna say, no matter how much flak you take for saying it. I appreciate that quality in you.

    PumpkinKate- Kate, or Pumpkin...or PumpkinKate..you are an awesome person to talk to! I love that we can talk about WHATEVER subject there is, and keep it going. And I really liked your IIN 'Prayer'. I honestly thought that was the greatest post in the history of IIN.

    Buntaboss2k- Bunta, I haven't quite figured out WHAT THE HELL is the matter with you, lmao, but you're a funny dude (with all those insatiable Craigslist links) haha.

    Djpatties- At first, I resented you for trolling the chat and I didn't much like you, to be honest. But after awhile, your personality grew on me. I really like your posts and I find most of your jokes hysterical. Keep em' coming.

    Lulz- You're an asset to the chat. All I can tell you is, do your own thing and don't let anyone let you down.

    Dinzo- You're one of the oldest members on the site that I like to talk to about the 'old days.' You're a funny dude and it's always a pleasure talking to you.

    Avante-Gard- I don't know much about you, but I do find your posts interesting and always a pleasure to read!

    Shackleford- Shack, you seem like a genuinely nice dude. I can safely attest to that because any post that I see that you've made, sticks to what I've just said. True asset to this site.

    ItDuz- I really give you credit to the way you go about debating people on this site about important topics. I don't really know you personally, but you're important to the IIN community. I still appreciate you even if you give me TONS of comments on my Abortion poll, lmao.

    Chewy- You were one of the first people I saw in the IIN chat when I came 'back' to the site. It's a pity that for most of the time that we've known each other, we've had spats over the dumbest things. Glad we get along much better now!

    DannyKanes- You bring to this site what this site lacks at times: happiness and cheer. It's good to see someone with such a positive attitude. I think it has a kind of ''rub off'' effect on the site as a whole. I appreciate that. Keep it up!

    Aussiewolf- Aussie, I don't know what has happened lately. We used to talk and joke a lot. But I'd love to patch things up. If I catch you in the chat, I'd love to talk. And yes, just like the other chat regulars, I <3 you too!

    Wow, my comment is going to feel subpar compared to all yours, but I'd pretty much like to thank everyone! I'm not going to try naming all the people and giving reasons (cause everyone else already did that for me). Instead, I'd like to say that without everyone being on this site, I wouldn't have learned some new things, have comments on my polls and stories, and this site just wouldn't be fun without everyone being here.

    There are two people that I would like to thank above all right now, and that would be The Management for making this site, and the Anonymous Poll Creator for making this story. Thank you to everyone, pat yourselves on the back for being here!

    Joybird... I often times find myself gaining further perspective of my life from your advice. It's very mature and realistic and more often then not I find myself agreeing with you.

    Space_Ghost... I am not sure who you are but you bring a lot of sweetness to IIN.

    Shackleford... Rusty Shackleford... Whenever I read your posts, I seriously hear Dale Gribble's voice in my head.

    SayCheese... you're very entertaining in the chat and I like how open you are to concepts that some young people just do-not-get o.o

    Avante-Garde... many of your advice-posts quite obviously come from personal experience, and I admire you for actually disclosing said information as personal experience often times can be the best place to give advice from.

    Jweezee... You may not know that I am normally stoned when I go on the internet but your responses to my comments go with the stoner flow, yo.

    Wigsplitz... I'm too nice to just up and call someone a dumbass, but sometimes it just needs to be said and you're the best one to say it. Because seriously, some people ARE just dumbasses.

    Angel_In_A_Glass_Dress... really helped me set my decorum for this website. Her posts were among the first that I read and I try (to an extent) to model my modus operandi after hers.

    ItDuz... For many years I am become embittered by the fallacy that it is acceptable in our society for women to bash men and shout for eequality and to be "easy on us" at the same time. It really does shame me, and I was very releaved to find that I'm not the only person that felt that way.

    Disthing... I'm a little blazed right now so I can't really remember why I like you but your posts often make quite a bit of sense to me.

    NobleSerpent... Next to DJPatties, you're among the best of the trolls I have encountered on the internet so far.

    DJPatties... conversation with you is very interesting, you're a fantastic troll but you still offer wonderful advice and you're usually pretty serious when it comes to actual good questions.

    Parrish... I love him.

    Shuggy-chan... For being so damn cute.

    I know that there is probably a shit-ton more, but I'm pretty blazed right now and I am honestly surprised that I have been able to crank this much out.

Thank you to anybody that has ever made me smile and inspired me to be a better person(It's not easy sometimes...).

    Jweezee, for being fun to pick on and giving me the Colbert bump.

    IC1988, for having the balls to admit liking IBC root beer.

    I know I'll mess this up somehow but here I go.

    First and foremost, Mr. Shuggy-chan. I was just a lost little urchin when my bf left to Korea and he was the first one to reach out and let me feel a part of this community. You'll always be my bff.

    Who_fan4life for testing me and being my niglet

    aussiewolf for everything and I mean EVERYTHING. I would move mountains for you.

    Bunta for opening my eyes to the wonderful ads on craigslist

    lulz for his queer eye

    djpatties for his love of animals

    PapaGee- you've helped me more than you'll ever know

    Shackleford96 for good laughs and helping me keep the shugster in line

    Wigsplitz for teaching me where roast beef came from and then ridiculing me.

    Parish for the ridiculous laughter you cause me daily...one I think about often is the girl with the dragon tattoo comment...if you remember. fucking hillarious!

    dinz for actually finding the humor in brokencyde

    dot123 for challenging my beliefs...even if you are just trolling, the questions you ask help.

    omglula for explaining the new fads and showing me twerking

    Itduz for just being your intelligent self. you angel you

    Joybird for your wisdom

    Pumpkinkate for always sharing happiness

    Ummm, I'd also like to thank everyone who posts stories and polls. I enjoy reading just about all of them and try to help when I can. Also those that comment on the stories that I post. Sometimes an outsider's view helps tremendously. This year that my bf has been off to Korea is coming to an end and I just want to thank you ALL for being here.

      Thank you LC! I think that the more I get to know you, the more I like you, and I will always be thankful to you too :)

      I also think the IIN awards were right to say you give the best sex advice XD

              Hmm, that sounds nice. What about hand cuffs? It just wouldn't be very good without hand cuffs I don't think... And what shall be done with the penguin? You've certainly sparked my interest with that remark!

    I love most of the users on here. Everyone adds their own unique flavor to this site. This site is like a decadent dish. If you leave some flavors out of it or add new ingredients, it won't taste the same every time, but it'll still be good.

    Ya, I was going to reply to a few comments, and i'm not sure why the comment button disappeared!

    I didn't think I would hang around this sight very long, but I find myself drawn here every day to you guys many different senses of humor, family like relationships with one another, and well as real advice! You are all appreciated by this guy!

    And for the record this is the longest thread that I have read all the way through!

    Okay, for some reason the reply button has disapeared on me, but I just want to say that the most comments on one post is probably the I hate christians story that has 465 comments.

    Wow, I've got a couple of shoutouts :)
    Thanks dom180, you seem to give good advice as well. I've had conversations with shackleford, Danny Kanes & I think I've talked to squirrel girl once or twice. You all seem nice. And momonator but I haven't seen him here in a while. And there was one girl named Chrissie who was here for a short time, but I liked her. VsegdaTemnata (or however her name is spelled) commented on one of my posts, to be honest I thought she seemed rude at first, but she didn't quite understand me until I explained better, then she seemed nicer.

      • Well..thank you. I don't get to reply to many specific posts; my phone won't let me and time on my p.c. is limited. I try to offer my life's experiences when I can.

        Comment Hidden ( show )
  • Wow, this is certainly not going to be an easy undertaking, and I wouldnt even know where to start.

    So....

    Come on, what did you expect me to do, make a list?? It clearly states I am a troll on my profile. That NTA (National Troll Association) would take away my license if I did that.

    Thank you to everyone for appreciating the hard work I put in being a troll and for the pleasure it is to troll each and every one of you. And dont let it get out I give good advice too much, I have a reputation to consider.

    Troll forth and prosper.

    Hey, I got a shoutout :)
    I think sometimes people forget the numbers in my username, which is my birthday to be exact. Should I change it to something easier to remember?

    Anyway, I've always liked Simon's comments on my posts and my conversations with him. I love Aussie's cupcake story lol. I like Avant Garde and angel_in_a_glass_dress's comments on my Al Pacino post, and I talked to CoverYourEars once and I think he/she likes Bayside too :)
