This is the funniest thing on Hubski, thank you. I'm laughing so hard.

I love you galen, you're like a super-teen. Like Captain Underpants coming out of puberty.

I feel like you've been here for ages by the way, but yeah, welcome. Also I couldn't handle a career in journalism so props, although I'm also super interested in philosophy. Which reminds me, the #philosophy tag has been largely untouched for a while, maybe you and I owe it a comeback.

Don't learn French.

'twas a trauma for me, but it might just be my teacher. Hitler is literally my French teacher.

excusez-moi monsieur le francais est la langue supreme.

mais nooon, il est vraiment pour les chattes.

Les chats, hombre

nowaypablo  ·  3772 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Hah, im not talking about cats.

_refugee_  ·  3772 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I assume you are not talking about the ancient germanic people either.

I am guessing you mean either the band, or

    Chatte, mot vulgaire désignant la vulve

Pas la vulve mais cette région en général. Bien fait, ref, bien fait.

Jesus Christ, I'm dying. This is the best compliment I've ever been given.

I feel like I've been here for ages too. It's amazing how much longer it feels like just because of the heightened quality of discourse. By the way, I'm coming through New York on a college visit in a month or so - what are the chances we could get a mini-meetup happening?

nowaypablo  ·  3775 days ago  ·  link  ·  

The chances are high, make a post maybe with details to get other people in on it, I'm here so I'm down!

YUSSSSSSSS NEW YORK MEET UP lil

lil  ·  3772 days ago  ·  link  ·  

ref - can you get to NYC? I'll give you some dates -- but I don't know if I can keep up with a couple of super-smart 15-16 year olds. Whatever would we talk about??? and bars obviously are out unless we make them look older?

Maybe we can all dress up as Groucho and wander Central Park looking for one another.

_refugee_  ·  3772 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Until Aug 15 my travel has to be limited to weekends and I mean "really weekends only" at that - I am in VA for work Mon- Friday.. I could take the train to NYC and then be completely lost after that point. But after Aug 15 I should be more free.

I love your idea though.

lil  ·  3772 days ago  ·  link  ·  

the 18th or 19 afternoon-eve would be great!!

Note to self: find nose and glasses, soon!

galen  ·  3772 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I think that's around when my trip is! Maybe!

Knowing NYC, there's a good chance there will be like three other groups of people doing the exact same thing. I'm down.

Bars and clubs from midtown to the World Trade Center don't card anyone if they're business dressed, so I will put on my finest suit to accompany the Groucho mask.

galen  ·  3772 days ago  ·  link  ·  

UPDATE: Can't do it, my mom's being paranoid: she thinks you're all creepy middle-aged men that have made fake profiles for the purpose of ??? Sorry it won't work out, but you, _refugee_ and lil should totally still meetup.

Maybe if I end up going to college up there we can hang out sometime after I'm free from my parents.

nowaypablo  ·  3771 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yeah, sorry galen, but I actually made this account 300 days ago in anticipation that you'd join so I could procure your butthole. Would've gotten away with it too if it wasn't for your meddling mom.

galen  ·  3771 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I have a confession too - I'm actually 8. I made this account because I don't have any friends but TV tells me older people are cool. That's why my mom's so protective.

nowaypablo  ·  3771 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yeah, sorry galen, but I'm actually your mom.

I pretty much just want your butthole.

lil  ·  3771 days ago  ·  link  ·  

galen, I actually am a mom and probably much older than your mom. OK, no groucho glasses and nose for you!! --

Note: Introduce your mom to hubski -- have her read eightbitsamurai's story -- it makes hubskina seem almost religious (but first delete the darker parts of this thread). Show her nowaypablo's piano concert.

I'll just wear them for Monday's IRC meetup 8^)

Thanks for this advice, lil. I showed her Hubski, told her about some of the users, and played her pablo's solo recital. She's a lot more comfortable with the site now, even though it didn't change her mind about the meetup. Next step - get her to read eightbit's story.

nowaypablo  ·  3770 days ago  ·  link  ·  

What solo recital?!

galen  ·  3770 days ago  ·  link  ·  

nowaypablo  ·  3770 days ago  ·  link  ·  

THAT"S ME LIKE SIX YEARS AGO. JESUS CHRIST.

e- imma get back to you about my old gf dont worry, and I'm sorry to hear about the breakup. Hang tight brother.

galen  ·  3770 days ago  ·  link  ·  

But it's still good! And it was the most recent one I could find.

galen  ·  3775 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Awesome, my mom just left for a conference, but I'll talk to her about the details when she gets back in about a week.
