I have. When I started here, I thought fact checking cuz was a copy editor friend of mine until I realized he lived in NYC, and that dave225 was my friend (and Alex in NYC's) Dave until I realized he lived in Ohio, until Just now I thought stet was a friend of mine from the NY Times who had been lurking here, until I realized he was from Scotland.

This thread has started out where the lunchroom thread ended up when it started to get creeped out.

I thought Ned was my friend ... b-b-b-but then he touched me.

i thought jon williams was the same jon williams i knew in high school, but that turned out to be false.

Perverts are smearing my good name. Well done.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 2 September 2005 04:01 (nineteen years ago)

i'm smearing it all over right now

He touched me on my duck bib.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 2 September 2005 04:10 (nineteen years ago)

you too? he put his hands all over my duck

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Friday, 2 September 2005 04:19 (nineteen years ago)

Duck washing a hat?

I thought g-kit was this bloke who went to school with my cousin. And got really confused when he turned out not to be!

― Luminiferous Aether (kate), Friday, 2 September 2005 07:11 (nineteen years ago)

I thought Ned was my daddy.

Then I realized my daddy only likes Northern Soul and doesn't speak English that well.

oddly enough, k/l, when stet started posting here he thought The Lex was someone i knew in real life (i don't), which led to one vastly, painfully and surreally confusing conversation in the pub.

So I was your friend until you found out I lived in Ohio? You geographist.

I thought Mark Richardson was my friend until I asked him if he was the same Mark Richardson who was my friend was, and he said "no, I'm not."

I thought John Justen was one of my best friends from high school until I realized he was a homicidal cyborg bent on destroying humanity. Then I remembered what happened to Apple Valley.

Run while you still can.

I'm highly suspicious of the lot of you, i believe you are all my irl friends taking the mince out of me.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:30 (nineteen years ago)

(hahaha at first I thought that said "mice"!)

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:32 (nineteen years ago)

i'm still freaked out about my mistaken identity thing.

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:33 (nineteen years ago)

You realize, Dave, that this also means that you are no longer a friend of Alex in NYC?

― k/l (Ken L), Friday, 2 September 2005 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

I had the odd occasion to find, when I first started posting here, that no fewer than three ILXors were people I knew in real life.

Tantrum the Cat looks very VERY familiar, for some reason.

― g-kit (g-kit), Saturday, 10 September 2005 07:44 (nineteen years ago)

I think Alex wrote me off months ago.
