How to spot an oldie (just for fun in response to how to spot a newb)

beatlesgirl25 · May 2010

Salt, YPGM.

Audrey&Austin · May 2010

I thought it was a little funny and a little more of a satire than seriousness. But maybe that's because I'm a newbie and I don't know anything haha

beatlesgirl25 · May 2010

Night, I PM'ed you as well.

ricksang · May 2010

Beatles you will have a PM soon.

Can somebody link me to this please?

See, the difference, Audrey, is that you're sane, so its funny to you that someone would take everything here so seriously.

Alas, it wasn't meant to be funny (notice the lack of LOLs in OP.) It was meant to buuuuuurrrrrn. Wow. That hurt.

<div>To what? Where you were "rude"? (Because I have no idea where that is.) Or to where she was rude to you?</div>

To where she took a proverbial nut shot at me, please. Or just the name of the thread if you remember.

I guess that's true, I guess I'm the kind of person to take everuthing lighthertedly unless I know for sure its supposed to be a burn. And even if it is a "burn", really? I guess I was giving the OP too much credit and trying or something... Oh well. I'm going to hope it was satire.

Damnit Salt! I told you you're not supposed to link threads! V-E-G-A-S.

beatlesgirl25 · May 2010

LC, it was in this one, but she deleted it because people told her it sucked and was against the rules.

DAMMIT! It must be all that xanax I just took. LOL.

laurenclaire1386 · May 2010

Thanks Salt. That dipshit. Who is apparently old enough to be my mother. It's a scar, btw.

salt78 · May 2010

I have plenty of those.

tidetravel · May 2010

I wish she would just run along to WW, where she can be BFFs w/ Sweetie.

Oh, I see cottage cheese is a sh!thead.

All the crazies come out at night. This is why I miss knotting with the night crew.

mandysmear · May 2010

I had a 45 minute convo with my sister and I missed a lot! So, this nutbar has been around before? In SB? Was that her first time rearing her ugly head?

Posted by mandysmear[/QUOTE]

Nope, her first post was on E about potentially not being divorced in time for her upcoming wedding. It was memorable.

mandysmear · May 2010

oh geez. this chick is weird. i think she deleted or locked any photos because when i did the search i only pulled up a profile pic from bebo or something. she looks like she should marry a guy with a mullet, wifebeater (i hate that word) - tank top, and drives a trans am.

beatlesgirl25 · May 2010

Hey, she might still be married to one.

miss.jawright · May 2010

I have to admit when I first read this I just thought she was trying to be funny.

mandysmear · May 2010

ahahaha. good thought.

i am getting sleepy. h still isn't home. i am getting sick of sabrina reruns.

beatlesgirl25 · May 2010

Missjaw, it's not really funny once you realize how bitter the context is. She's turned into one of those posters who pops into threads to say nasty provocative things, unfortunately.

I am getting sleepy as well. I'm going to bed, you should too!

Night ladies!

mandysmear · May 2010

Sweet Dreams!

jayjoe · May 2010

wow, i almost never come on at night. and look at all the fun i miss!! That wasnt even funny. I wouldve appreciated it if it was funny. but it sucked ass.

Cottage, please be more funny. Thanks in advance!

kcahoon0531 · May 2010

okay. so i didn't read all of them. so if someone else said this, sorry.

all i kept thinking was that a cookie would sound nice to an "oldie" (whatever that means). as long as the cookie wasn't at a cash bar or wasn't invited to both the shower and the wedding. or a "tiered" cookie, i guess.

anyway. late night humor. sorry. seriously not trying to piss anyone off--please don't let the inferno come down on my head. i generally like the advice i get. while it may not always be the most polite advice it's always helpful and makes me think.

Stallmanj1 · May 2010

I think the original post is hilarious. The knot contains a group of active members who tend to think that their opinions are the only good opinions and bash others when their opinions don't match. The term "oldie" just refers to the fact that most of these strongly opinionated active members have been members for a while. I'm a newb (I've been a member a while, but don't post often), but I think it's funny when people make fun of stupid newbs. If a person states their opinion as if it were fact, they tend to think that their opinion is a fact, and that makes them rude to other people who happen to know the difference between opinion and fact.

Also, if people can't laugh at themselves, what gives them the right to laugh at others?

And at the risk of being attacked myself, it looks like all the ladies who are "out to get" the orriginal poster are people with gold and silver medals. Ironic? yes.
