    I met another boards user today, who I didn't know would be a user.

    Would is be possible to set up a Boards sekrit "handshake", so that one user can recognise another user in public. Lets face it adding your boards username to your CV/business card isn't the way to go, if nothing else on electronic privacy grounds.

    Oh yeah, can we set up a "bee-eeeg" clan maybe [b.ie] or something, so when we see each other on a public server, we can recognise each other?

    How about name tags? tattoos? Change your name to your boards name by D-poll (or is it deed poll?) Have your avatar painted on your cheek at all times.

    Nah on the forehead.

    Have Boar dsie written across your knuckles.
    Also we must start influencing the economice and global world so we can have some perks.
    You're importance will be worked out with a complex equation involving joining time/post counts/number of times banned/muppetness/money for admins :)

    So sekrit society or political party?

    cant it be both ? like the StoneCutters ?

    Who controls the British crown?
    Who keeps the metric system down?
    We do! We do!
    Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?
    Who keeps the martians under wraps?
    We do! We do!
    Who holds back the electric car?
    Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
    We do! We do!
    Who robs the cave fish of their sight?
    Who rigs every Oscars night?
    We do! We do!

    No, I'm not "serious", I'm serious. Like it's acceptable to claim you are in such and such an association, but not acceptable to say you are in Ireland's biggest on-line community.

    Victor you scare me.

    I'm quite bullish about it... I love getting in peoples faces about my involvement with technology particularly when they consider it "weird".

    People who used to slag me for being a "nerd" because I wouldnt stop telling them about this new thing called "email" now come to me for e-commerce consultancy :)

    Theres only one "um".
    fuk 'um!

    DeV.

    I want to get Poor Impulse Control tattood on my forehead.

    Might affect future job oportunities though...

    Nothing that obscured that mug of yours could be construed as a bad thing...

    I could have sworn I heard the distinctive sound of hatching across the country there a minute ago :p

    Silver please, with cool designs on the outside, and 'boards.ie' only written on the inside, where no-one else can see it. :D

    Add delivery + €5 for boards.ie upkeep and you may have yourself a deal. :)

    Of course, when all the mods get together and put their rings in a big circle, then DeV, Regi and Cloud are summoned, just like Captain Planet.

    "By your powers combined, I am CLOUD-WARRIOR!"

    Jeebus, I'm bored :)

    You could try the old asking for "Kitten cake" when ordering food. They will know straight away that your from boards.ie and will give you free food (sans kitten).

    Or ask if they do "Amp tests" in music and computer stores to receive loads of free goods.

    Or sing "I'm forever blowing *******" in the pub to get free drinks.

    ... ROFL I can't believe you ** out his name. :)

    Or the s**t kicked out of you. Depends on the trolling level that day.

    You could get this tattoo'd on your arse. Then everytime you are "sans pants" you will be proudly displaying your member...ship.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,169 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    LoL Puck :)

    Everyone in boards.ie should be issued with a full set of laminated 'gathering' cards, to be used in everyday conversation.

    For example...

    Non Boards.ie user:'Hey remember when I bought you dinner four years ago? Now its your turn'

    Then BAM!!! Slap them with a dregging up old posts card.
    Any reply would become gibberish and nonsensical (like this post)


    Also I think there should be the optional Prince Andrew (?) ring so you can show your h0e what you're made of!

    A friend and I went into BK, I order first, then he does.

    Staff "Can I take your order?"
    Friend "Can I get a whopper, large coke and fries."
    Staff "Thats £4.75 please."
    Friend "Oh, and can I get an aardvark aswell?"
    Me [choking on laughter]
    Staff "Of course." (looks for aardvark button on till, can't find it)
    Staff "Eh, I don't think we have them here."
    Friend "OK, I'll get one another time."

    Now, I'm not up to date on these things, but isn't it a Prince Albert? Who knows, wasn't Prince Andrew a sailor anyway (who dated a 'model') ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,007 ✭✭✭Moriarty


    I quite like that (finger) ring idea. But it must have a nice outer design. Yes, design..


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,169 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    Damn, really should research my body piercings.

    I had it as Prince Albert, but then I changed it. :(

    So next time I need that sort of info Ill look you up Victor ;)
