I think I saw our very own Jimmy The Squid today.
Or, I was totally staring at a random stranger who's probably thinking I'm a creepy weirdo of the highest order.
-
One time I saw Patrick and I didn't say hi
-
I unexpectedly bump into some of the other Sydney QC folk from time to time.
-
At my prom, some guy grabbed and asked if i was e. spaceman. He lurked here and was friends with a friend.
It was fairly weird
-
No, never. I've met a lot of people from the forums but I guess I've always met them deliberately rather than by coincidence.
The first time we met was kinda by coincidence, since you thought I was somebody else.
-
Damnit we really have to be better at saying hi to each other when we're at Broadway. How many times has this happened now? You were on the down escalator and I was on the up one. I thought that was you but again I didn't say anything to avoid looking the dick if I was wrong.
One time I saw a guy that looked like you, said hi, he said hi back then we were both really awkward because we both thought we were someone else.
-
Julia saw me in a Burger King.
-
me neither.
this isn't really the same thing but staedtlermars's roommate was (and still is, i think) a friend of mine from guelph that i used to work with, which is pretty wacky considering they both live in edinburgh. one time i saw a picture of him on the forum dressed as scott pilgrim for halloween and it really weirded the heck out of me until i remembered what was going on and why that made sense.
-
Dan saw me from afar before we properly met and didn't say hello.
He also accidentally saw my balls but that was a different set of circumstances altogether.
-
When I lived in Vancouver I used to run into this girl who posted as Coonstar at shows and record shops and things every once and a while. But she doesn't post any more
-
No, thank god.
-
Dan saw me from afar before we properly met and didn't say hello.
I was in a car! Moving!
-
Excuses! Always more excuses! When will the lies stop!?
-
When I run you over.
-
I unwittingly went to the same school as a Perth forumite for nearly a year, and didn't realise it until after he'd graduated. He doesn't post here anymore, either.
-
I first met Brittany in the elevator of my dorm sophomore year. She was standing with her cousins and I came around the corner and we both kind of looked at each other. Once we realized how we recognized each other it was awesome but for a moment I though I was crazy.
Now we are friends!
-
I bumped into Kat at the mall, but she was working there, so I guess that's not too weird.
-
I haven't bumped into anybody because nobody lives in the same city as I do. Now that Jon is elsewhere for grad school, I don't think anyone else is even in Ohio. But that's ok, Eed is within a reasonable distance.
-
If I was attending USYD, I'd have a greater chance of randomly bumping into my fellow Sydney forumites.
-
I haven't run into anyone coincidentally, but I have been stopped by a lurker, just a few weeks ago, asking if I posted here.
-
I bumped into Chris (GodinPants) once at a show and we made awkward conversation. It was my first sort of not really date with Max which made it doubly awkward.
Other than that I see Est and Han and Jimmy around a lot, but we all live relatively close to each other.
Extra Letter, I don't know what you look like. :(
-
I used to go to Uni with GodinPants. It was a bit weird because we'd see each other around, recognise each other but still be too awkward to say hi so we'd do that little nod thing that guys do when they're too nervous to say hi to each other.
-
Once I was walking down the street and Fatty walked past me with her cousin (who I had met before) and didn't notice me. I sent her a message saying "I can see you..." and she replied later after I had started work or whatever I was doing. Sometimes she would come into the cafe I worked at and eat/get coffee after classes and I would try and talk while trying to not get in trouble for talking rather than working.
-
i live in canada

I was going to say hi, but it woulda been mega awkward if it wasn't you, but if I didn't say hi and it was you I was worried I'd look like a total dick.
We totally need a sort of secret gesture kind of thing. If one or the other of us uses it, we'll know it's them.
Hey, that's a thought. A QC gang sign.
-
I live in Kansas! :mrgreen: <<<< placed in the earth by the devil to mislead us

May I suggest the Auslan symbol for Q.
Bonus points for looking slightly grotesque.

Or you could draw a dong on your hand and use that instead.
-
Alternately we could use ASL, American Sign Language (this is much easier to look up online.)
An A handshape on the side of the cheek, near the chin, with a fast forward motion (similar to signing shy) means "slut"
"Dick" is a "d" handshape tapping the nose.

Everyone get <DICK>< tattoos on yr neck
-
No.
Thankfully.
-
The only person I've ever met from the forums is yelley, and we didn't meet by happenstance.
-
I've seen dopplegangers. Lots of them. There's a woman at my job who looks a bit like an older, shorter Linds (mostly though, she is older and shorter than Linds), I saw a Rachel on Friday at the bus station, and I've also seen dopplegangers for Jace (though it was a Ladyjace), Lunchy (ask Jon about that one), and Julia.
Plus there was that time I hung out with some of you guys for reals.
-
How am I supposed to ask Jon when he doesn't post anymore?
-
I live in a city with a doppleganger Tommy and Gene. It is really really weird. I have been seeing them around the city for like two years and it never stops being weird.
I wish I lived in a city with more people to be all oh hai with. The one person that lives here I have not met.
-
How am I supposed to ask Jon when he doesn't post anymore?
Oh yeah, true.
We went to see Dropkick Murphys a few years back, and on the train back to Boston, we saw someone who looked like you, but less adorable and awesome. She was referred to as "ugly Lunchy".
-
I once started talking to a guy on the forums via PM and later via AIM who turned out to be the childhood best friend of my best friend, who used to live in his building.
We all reunited and played in a band together, briefly.
He never posted here much and still doesn't.
-

-
So basically, in the same city as Tommy Wiseau?
That was the Tommy she was referring to.
You didn't think she meant you, did you?
-
not gonna lie the only forumite i've seen is gene and that was well planned out so...
no, i have never seen a forumite by happenstance.
-
It seems that few forumites live 'round these parts. I know there are several in DC but that's sort of far from little Owings Mills over here. Also I'm still kind of new.
I was going to say that I need to meet more people from the internet but that's slightly weird. But I do need to make more friends and I don't drink so like my only other option is okcupid and all they want is the no pants dance.
-
Hey, at least you guys don't send me messages like "I like ur tities." Er, well, haven't yet anyway.
-
We save that for when we all meet in person. Then it's all butts lol and groping galore.
I have seen doppleganger Tyler and Gene, but both were far less fashionable and fake-Gene was super lame. (He was at a party I was at and did nothing but complain.)
-
None of people ever come by Copenhagen.
Just pointing that out.
-

I knew you guys were hiding something.
-
What I'm saying is that some of y'all should come to Denmark sometime. We should hang out!
-
I could've when I lived in Maryland. One poster around here used to go to my old high school so there is that.
-
Doubt it will happen anytime soon. I suspect forumengers don't frequent Yorkshire or the Peak District.
-
did nothing but complain
Place-holder post for my generic Jewish stereotype quip once I've had enough coffee to word it correctly.
I dunno if he was Jewish, but regardless his gf wasn't and she was just as bad. The only reason I remember him is because I kept thinking, "Dude is not cool enough to look like Gene."
-
Seldom. At least a couple of us live in Yorkshire! I live in Leeds.
Never knowingly seen anyone though.
-
I have only ever met forumites on purpose, but while I was out in camden with Jodie and Dan I ran into another internet friend called Megan, which was rad because she's American, and we were planning on meeting up but never organised anything solid, but then both turned up in cyberdog at the same time! Magic.
-

Cracking, we should all meet up sometime and reminisce about our upbringings.
-
Generally I'd meet random internet friends at these things called conventions. I'm guessing few of you are the sort of weirdo to attend such things? I'll be going to Anthrocon, Otakon, and Balticon this year because I have too much dorkiness to cram into one.
-
Balticon?
Oh sweet mother of god I'm going to die and go to curry heaven.
When and where?
-
It's not actually a curry convention! It's a sci-fi/fantasy convention in Baltimore, Maryland. Balti(more)con(vention).
Not half as delicious, I'm sure.
-
I've never actually met anyone here but I'm pretty sure there's a Patrick duplicate around here.
Also I dreamed about meeting Khar once? it was pretty bizarre because he was Khar in the dream but looked nothing like him
also he wouldn't tell me his name
-
I used to go to Uni in Sheffield but I live in Cheshire now.
-
I grew up in Cheshire. Can't for the life of me figure out why someone would choose to live there.
-

Hey now, it's not by choice. Just that while this current government fucks us all over I have nowhere else to go. :-(
-
Where abouts are you in Cheshire, anyway?
edit: And I bet that smug fucking cat was married to a footballer or something.
-
The even more shit than the general Cheshire part (Runcorn).
-
Christophe goes to school and is friends with a guy I had classes in high school with. I only know this because I noticed that our mutual schoolmate and I both posted in the same comment thread for something on Chris's Facebook. Completely tripped me the fuck out.
Also it turns out I already knew a few forumites in person without even realizing it, although they hardly count since 1. they hardly, if ever, post(ed) here and 2. I have known most of them since before QC even existed.
-
Hey, I work in Leeds!
... Alabama
... USA
:(
-
Yeah we had a Leeds meetup years ago, back when I was finding my meeting-forumites feet, and there were four of us there with a few others who could have come but were too lame. Yorkshire is quite a good place for hunting forumites!
-
I don't post on these forums much, but anyone on here live in Okinawa? Lol. The chances are like 1 in a Bajazillion.
-
The only forumite I have seen in real life is Chad K., and it was not by happenstance. His band was playing at a street fair, and we went to see him.. I liked that band by the way.
-
In before Nickelback joke.
-
The even more shit than the general Cheshire part (Runcorn).
I haven't been to Runcorn in years. Quite a bit of my family lives there. Or used to live there. I think they keep dying.
-
Right after that Sydney meet up a couple of years back I was working at a desk at my uni, getting people to sign up to one of the clubs I was involved with when someone came up to me and asked if I posted here. I think he was a lurker from above the divide who had only been down here to check the Auscon photo thread. Never saw him again either at uni or here
-
And I bet that smug fucking cat was married to a footballer or something.
I think as a rule dogs are more inclined to be WAGS.
-
There's a stencil of zombie Lunchy somewhere in Glasgow. I've seen it a couple times, but I can't for the life of me remember where it is. Each time I've passed it it's been really late and I've been pretty drunk, but I recall greeting it with 'Evening, Lunchy' and my friends going 'why are you talking to a stencil'. Who made that, by the way?
-
I don't think it's correct, but I'd put my money on Ryan.
-
Kris - I don't know who made it but I know they are in a few places in Glasgow.

I imagine it is this guy.
