Have you figured out that you have been mispronouncing your name for a long time? Which I told you about not to long ago.

You'll hear it in some rap songs from the 90's when it was first used.

If I recall correctly some guy started a thread without realizing he was starting a thread (still can't figure out how people do this) called "Where is Kevin?" so of course we all started posting pics of Kevin Bacon and things like that. Then there was another thread where a guy who had a username that included Kevin posted something and it was just ironic timing. Of course both guys eventually disappeared. So Kevin will randomly be mentioned just to bring back those fond memories.
I have never actually been Kevin.
Also..... this was much funnier when it actually happened. It is a lame story now
Sure Kevin.... you admitted to being Kevin in the Catfish thread.0 -

I can't even answer this, all I know is I started getting messages outside of MFP asking if I had died and people were commemorating me.
If you die, I'm slathering myself in crunchy peanut butter and posting a new PB selfie daily in your honor.
What’s the pb reference?
@Avocado_AS5 likes creamy PB and I like crunchy, we decided it was great because we'd never steal each other's PB. I haven't had the heart to tell her I converted to creamy PB a year or so ago after they quit carrying the crunchy kind I liked at the grocery.
You’d convert to skim milk over the good stuff just to save 2 cents a half gallon though
Skim milk??? I may be a heathen but I'm no savage.
I’ve heard differently
You heard wrong suckaCaporegiem wrote: »DeadliftsAndSprinkles wrote: »Caporegiem wrote: »caco_ethes wrote: »Caporegiem wrote: »caco_ethes wrote: »Caporegiem wrote: »caco_ethes wrote: »Avocado_AS5 wrote: »Caporegiem wrote: »4legsRbetterthan2 wrote: »why did everyone have cappys picture up that one fateful weekend?

I've been here for a few years. I like your threads, Caco. You always encourage good will. Inside jokes...it doesn't matter where they are, the office breakroom or lavatory can become a boundary and wall for newbies. They serve a purpose and they are a way of establishing pecking order in the chicken yard. Many have relegated and consigned themselves to playing games. I would really like to hear what they have to say about everything.
There are people who've been here for 3-6 years. They show up out of the blue sharing their long term success and disappear, never to be heard from again. Their tips and advice would be a valuable tool for others but they don't stay.
Thank you, I am glad you feel that way!0 -

Don’t know about that fool but mine was expertly retouched0 -
1st - I can't say this any more clear than this:
THERE ARE NO INSIDE JOKES
All the "inside jokes" like cream puffs or Kevin were all from the forums where anyone could read them at any time. So no one needed to be on the inside if they read the forums for that day.
2nd - @lstrat115 you forgot about Sam.
3rd - People expect lists to be in 3's or more. So...
Also, if you ever want to know why people are referring to something just ask.5 -
I really did because I saw your cleavage pics and lower body selfies too. You mean you were just joshing?
Ha! I wasn’t the only one, KAREN2 -

Except that reading the forums means reading, following, and tracking a gajillion posts in a dozen threads. Just look at this one - 6 pages in a couple of hours.
I don't know how you people do it.1 -

1 - Agreed, some are just older than others
B - Tag @cee134 if you have questions, he's keeper of the MFP archives
Leopard - People like lists that aren't necessarily numbered.1 -
Cleavage pics?? google has that cached somewhere...
Not that I'm looking for it.1 -
One "inside joke" that isn't brought up much, but is one of my favorites, was Lexi. The girl that lied about having cancer, then when she was found out started changing her profile names but by then she was already known as Lexi. If you called her out she would say "BLOCKED" and then want to fight you in a Wal-mart parking lot. @lstrat115 @km8907 @Avocado_AS5 were there.5

She also was a bartender, lived in New England and drove a BMW and had a hip tattoo. But her hospitalizations were all in Florida. She was quite a gal and really kept us all on our toes with her shenanigans.
I miss her. I sure hope she beat the cancer!

I did. @lstrat115 just likes pictures of bananas.1 -
There was something about chicken nuggets but I never really got that one. Anyone want to fill me in? Was that also related to Deb and Carl? I need details on all of these things
The flex Friday gif I did where I eat a cookie? Bacon thought it was a chicken nugget. He called me nugget after that. Not sure if that’s worse or Hank0 -

Don't forget the BMW her dad bought her that wasn't out yet and the tattoo she got that was quickly found on Google.
Edit: I'm slow to the draw.0 -

I have a question for you. What was the adopt-a-noob thing initially about?
@4legsRbetterthan2 captured the heart of it well, but...she left out the parts where mods took over.
It started as a forum convo between Whierd/Wheird and I. Technically I'm the King because I had the guts to start it, but the idea originated with him. He has a rich forum history in case anyone cares - much drama around a female forum member. He wasn't loved by the mods of the time.
I don't recall whether it was around New Year's or April Fool's, or some other holiday, but I decided to get the ball rolling. I created the thread, and it took off.
A short time later, I got messages from mods of the day trying to decide if this was okay. They weren't pleased with the idea. Eventually they locked it down. We got threats about being banned, despite being perfectly open about what we were trying to do. Somehow I had a reputation for being untrustworthy. :ohwell: It might have had something to do with the Phallic Fruit series of threads.
Anyway, eventually original thread died, but the idea was brought back via a thread created by and stickied by a mod a few hour/days later. It's been awhile, so details and recall might not be exact. I don't believe there was any credit given for the idea, but the important part is that it lived on. It's had yearly thread renewal since.

I've been waiting in that Wal-mart parking lot for quite a while now.1
