Just wondering...

Something was said in a thread a week or two ago in a thread about people who frequent the Snarkpit (from the UK) meeting up - and it made me wonder....why haven't we?

Has anyone ever met up? Did they scare the be-jeezuz out of you cos they were nothing like their online persona? Or were they exactly like their online persona (minus the smilies :smile: , and silly words like l337 and 'teh')?

you would be surprised to know, how much of my driving CB lingo seeps into my posts :smile:

i don't talk it out loud mostly, but i do type it in here..

and meeting online people is scary as hell, but worth it..

goodluck arranging it tho..

I have never ever said 'teh' or 'lol' in conversation, and the idea of meeting up somewhat scares me after that picture thread :biggrin:

Most folks from the UK seem to be in England, except for a few (myself, a guy called Dolly from ages back, and Peter Manson are all scottish). I guess some of the Americans find it wierd since we are all close, but to me travelling to England is a long way.

I live with 4 other computery folks, and w00t and "...xor" seem to come up in conversation a lot these days...purely for jesting purposes mind. I certainly wouldn't try and chat up a lady using such terms!

irish are circumcised too?

I actually cannot tell if thats irony or honest to god ignorance. I would somehow suspect irony from Orph though.

Anyway, in my experience you need a bigger crowd than this for meets, since there are so many constraints and difficulties involved in getting a meet working though.

someone else tryed to use "irony" on me once before, it didn't fit then either :biggrin:

but ignorant sure does, BUT in this case, it was a weak mind and simple minded humor :heee:

get used to me, cause if you don't, your head will hurt :wink:

My head already hurts :smile:

I should get back to mapping for a bit, 3DSMax is softening me up, I spent my first few months in that trying not to make things intersect :rolleyes: God help we when I get back to Hammer.
