AIBU to think MN not what I thought it would be

sidandlinus · 12/11/2012 22:16

After years of hearing about how influential and "middle class" MN is. I am I being unreasonable to think that I have found it (over past few months - so can't judge beyond this) a bit "meh2! A lot of the postings appear to be attention-seeking, middle-of-the-road and basically dull. Am I missing something?

I have Boden, 2 perfect DDs, a very small dog, and am naice.

I'm also a gibbering loon.

I have an opening for a dildo

Why does that sound wrong? Blush

SantasStrapOn · 13/11/2012 00:52
Shock

I could be a dodo. That's the closest you get.

I'm noice not naice. Automatically excluded I guess Sad

WorraLiberty · 13/11/2012 00:53

A dead dodo dildo?

But what would Santa say? Shock

Thumbwitch · 13/11/2012 00:58

Arf at "opening for a dildo" - you know exACTly why that sounds wrong, young lady! Grin

SantasStrapOn · 13/11/2012 00:59

Less of the lady though...jeez!!

WorraLiberty · 13/11/2012 01:06

Dido would've made a good dead dodo dildo

But sadly Eminem had other ideas

Thumbwitch · 13/11/2012 01:07

Before joining, I thought: lots of broody, fluffy, blinky chickens cosily swapping cake recipes.

Did not expect the startling, sometimes brilliant, sometimes surreal wit, wisdom and aggression that actually makes MN.

Granted it's not all like that, but enough to keep me coming back even though I should be doing the bins right now.

Mylittlepuds · 13/11/2012 09:49

Every day I'm amazed at how wonderfully articulate, funny and - for the most part - empathetic MNetters are. The whole landscape is entirely different to any other forum type thing laden with weird tickers and shite. YABU. Of course it's not wholly middle class but it's certainly not 'meh'.

differentnameforthis · 13/11/2012 21:51

Is meh2 an advance on meh?

Mylittlepuds · 13/11/2012 22:03

Ha to Meh2

PickledFanjoCat · 13/11/2012 22:04

Ha2 to your meh2

GrimAndHumourless · 13/11/2012 22:09

oo er OP's a feisty one

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 13/11/2012 22:14

Woof to you lady!

Jesus, you should report your post. Then HQ can take 'the startling, sometimes brilliant, sometimes surreal wit, wisdom and aggression that actually makes MN' as their new slogan. It's perfect.

GrimAndHumourless · 13/11/2012 22:22

God I remember the Woof To You Too Lady poster, in fact I had it as my NN for a bit Grin
