the following categories?

Celebrity 'nice' MNer

Celebrity 'naughty' MNer

Visiting 1 problem poster

Secret journo poster

Short lived poster, 'visiting' from another site and feeling like a tourist abroad, enjoyed it while it lasts but happy to go back to the home comforts

Majority MNers, well everyone else really who fill in the gaps between the top 2 groups' discussions, without anyone really noticing

and now the returning 'Zombies'

This follows on from whomovedmychocolate's thread here and I thought I would throw it to the AIBU wolves

OnlyWantsOne · 21/07/2009 20:06

I just googled dragon butter... oh gosh!!

AtheneNoctua · 21/07/2009 20:08

Bloody Aaericans. You know what THEY are like.

nevergoogledragonbutter · 21/07/2009 20:08

I've just put a picture on my profile for the naff or not family portrait thread.
I'm undecided.

differentID · 21/07/2009 20:09

I don't particularly care where I'm categorised, I post nearly everywhere

StealthPolarBear · 21/07/2009 20:14

Can we have a separate group for bears?

nevergoogledragonbutter · 21/07/2009 20:15

oh i want to be in stealths group.
but i'm not a bear.

springlamb · 21/07/2009 20:15

Be careful ID you'll be put into the Martini category (blimey, showing my age...)

What's an Aaerican? Sounds interesting, maybe I could fit in there.

StealthPolarBear · 21/07/2009 20:16

Bears and dragons
And any other mythical creatures

MIAonline · 21/07/2009 20:17

Only if you can find enough other 'bears' to back up your claim of needing a category stealth

OP posts:
StealthPolarBear · 21/07/2009 20:17

What do you mean polar bears are real

StealthPolarBear · 21/07/2009 20:18

there are loads of us MIA
I do wonder though if we left and set up a rival site - would anyone notice?
DS is two and has learned about dinosaurs. We were then reading a book about a dragon, and the way he distinguishes them are dragons are "dinosaurs with hot noses"

springlamb · 21/07/2009 20:22

Don't go there Stealth.

All the furries can have their own category. Bears, bunnies, lambs (there are 2 lambs you know little and spring) and at least one wolf.

We may be a little nervous of you at first.

StealthPolarBear · 21/07/2009 20:24

But dragons aren't furry!
So if a wolf changes name to be something-lamb, are they a wolf in lambs' clothing?

Geocentric · 21/07/2009 20:25

springlamb, we can't possibly have a "furry MNers" category. Sounds very odd indeed!!!!

Geocentric · 21/07/2009 20:26

Although my legs were definitely in that category yesterday!

StealthPolarBear · 21/07/2009 20:27

Not sure I know any bunnies or other lamb (we did have a sheepgomeep though, not seen her around in ages). wolfnipplechips can join only if she explains her name!

StealthPolarBear · 21/07/2009 20:28

yes, and what about animals that moult, or sheep being shorn in the summer - it would just be too difficult to administer.

littlelamb · 21/07/2009 20:32

I know about wolfnipplechips name
She exlained it to me once

MIAonline · 21/07/2009 20:34

Good point, no to furry animals category. Would never have worked out, especially when they hibernated for winter.

Felt sure there would have been many more categories by now, just the long term lurker added. My original list must have been more comprehensive than I initially thought

StealthPolarBear · 21/07/2009 20:35

oooh littlelamb - go on, share!
Right, speaking of hibernating...must go to bed...
