post an AIBU about some inane minutia of their lives? It's on par with facebook/twitter updates, where someone feels they've got to inform you they've just had to go out and get some milk before they have their cereal. Some f/b updates I've seen even just have 'hmmmm' or '//////' and people reply!! Perhaps it's just the people I know

Or have I got this all wrong, and it's really about people just wanting to chat and know someone else is out there?

"Nah, I just make sure i stay fat enough to never see it"

BOF or solve the problem totally by getting really fat - you know what they say - nothing grows in the shade!

Hully - you know someone who has done this? Don't think i could look at anyone again i f i knew that they had been shitting doing that in each other

hullygully · 25/09/2009 20:02

Odd, I know. Each to their own.

For gods sake last night mumsnet had me googling dragon butter and now I have just googled space docking tis wrong I tell you.

BrokenBananaTantrum · 25/09/2009 20:10

it IS SO WRONG but i'm grateful to MN for furthering my education

ThatVikRinA22 · 25/09/2009 20:12

since ive found MN im really learning all sorts...

HecatesTwopenceworth · 25/09/2009 20:17

Me too, Vicar.

Oh dear god, the things I've googled. It brings tears to your eyes!

dragonbutter is one of the nicer ones.

I should probably stop googling, really.

Horton · 25/09/2009 20:48

I imagine anyone looking at my google history would think me the most inveterate perv. I'm not. It's this interweb lark. People keep making me google the most revolting things (obv I am a bit too easily swayed and nosy).

HecatesTwopenceworth · 25/09/2009 20:54

reeeally? Horton? In that case, I have 2 words for you...

tub

girl

[evil]

Horton · 25/09/2009 21:13

Sorry, Hecate, but I have already seen that one so you're too late (and advise any lurkers not to look and remain pure).

HecatesTwopenceworth · 25/09/2009 21:14

oh shucks. damn it.

StableButDeluded · 25/09/2009 21:15

Arrrgghh! Yuk! YUK!!

I resisted goggling dragon butter when I read it on te other thread, but I couldn't stand the not knowing, so I've just looked up that and space-docking.

Oh my giddy aunt!!!

And thanks to that urban dictionary, I know also know about 'peanut butter and jelly' (vom) and 'delaware dragon' (more vom) because they popped up on the same page.

MN is an education, I tell you/

StableButDeluded · 25/09/2009 21:16

I meant Googling, obviously, but I probably did goggle at it, I was so flabbergasted.

hatwoman · 25/09/2009 21:21

i just googled dragon butter. not sure I dare try space docking.

MintyCane · 25/09/2009 21:21

Did you google at it after they pooped up on the same page

hatwoman · 25/09/2009 21:22

dare try googling space docking, that is.

hullygully · 25/09/2009 21:22

mc - "pooped"

MintyCane · 25/09/2009 21:23

no really don't hatwoman I feel sullied

hatwoman · 25/09/2009 21:24

bluddy hell. people are weird. I did laugh at "this cycle usually continues until someone is sexually gratified" though. that could take rather a long time.

MintyCane · 25/09/2009 21:25

don't drink any wine either it encourages the googling

SardineQueen · 25/09/2009 21:25

what have I started?

Trill thanks, I feel all famous now

hatwoman · 25/09/2009 21:27

think I'll just pop back to the Boden woman thread. I feel the need to be cleansed.

southeastastra · 25/09/2009 21:28

in answer to op - we just love clogging up the www

SardineQueen · 25/09/2009 21:28

I had my first ever serious look at boden earlier. The prices made my eyes water more than any bumsex/spacedocking combo ever could

MintyCane · 25/09/2009 21:29
