Boxer briefs. The thong is for special occasions.

Likes:
1) The people. This is the biggest by far. As I've said before, a whole bunch of these people could crash on my couch. Although some of the ladies might be a bit hard to explain.
2) The Challenge. This has been a totally new and constant learning experience for me. I've learned a whole bunch and made some mistakes but if I could make my living just doing board stuff I think I would do it.
3) Diversity. We have a lot of different people here and I've learned a lot from you guys. Good and bad. Plus the fact that we have so many different demographics is very cool to me.
Hates:
1) DRAMA! This is my #1 pet peeve. People can be real assholes sometimes. I know that it's not always taken as meant but it's weird how people react.
2) Inexperience. This is my own inexperience I'm speaking of. I keep messing with stuff but I'm always afraid I'm going to bork something up that's unborkable. I'm getting better but I hate this.
3) My inability to get traffic moving here. I thought that I'd be good at this but everything I've tried so far has done nothing more than frustrate me. I'm hoping the hub takes off.
I really don't. I've got more of a gut than I used to but I still have to wear a training bra so no flappy hooties in real life.

Ah, boxer briefs. Underwear for the noncommittal man.

They are more comfortable, they don't restrict my boys but they are tight enough so that I'm not flopping around and in constant need of readjusting.

What have you tried so far to get traffic here? How did they turn out?
Dave
Staff member
Not really. I'm pretty open with her about stuff. I figured she wouldn't stick around too long.

I tried the front page being a review site but nobody wrote reviews (or at least very few did). I had some spikes in traffic but when they saw nothing had been updated the bounce rate went from 50% to around 85-90%.
I then worked with Mycohl...who am I kidding? Mycohl did it all!...and got the custom comics working and that had mixed results. But in the end it didn't bring in anyone new.

Dave, we were talking about underwear for your bottom half, not upper. *ducks!*

Excellent point. I'll take that into consideration for next time.

would you be willing to turn this into an amateur porn site?

ThatNickGuy
I'll bet Tinwhistler's waiting with bated breath for that answer!
Dave
Staff member
Probably not. I mean, there's money to be made from that model (or at least there was before YouPorn and MyFreePaySite) but most folks that would pay for those sites would not be interested in a forum.

Right. I'll go get dressed then.

Damn it! I knew I answered that one wrong.

*sighs in a deflated tone* Me too.

Being on stage and having 300 people laughing hysterically at your comedy. You feel the rush of energy and it's the best thing in the world.
The worst? Being on stage and having 300 people looking at you like you have lobsters crawling out of your ears. Eating it on stage is a nightmare.
I'd pay to see lobsters crawl out of your ears.

Several people did. It wasn't pretty.
Do you ever use stories from the forum in your act?
Dave
Staff member
No. I stopped doing comedy WAY before I started this thing. Besides, personal stories that only a few people get and require prior experience and knowledge tend to go over badly.
I had to stop comedy because I was on the verge of being a touring comedian and I had to choose to stop or keep going all out. I stopped because of my family.

What is the weirdest thing the audience has thrown at you?
Dave
Staff member
I've never had anything thrown at me and the only really back heckler I've ever had was a drunk guy I worked with. He felt because he knew me he could yell shit out.
But no shoes or panties or anything like that.
This coming Sunday. The topic is: "The Geeks Talk about Social Networking Sites".

If you lick a fly-swatter, will you die?
Dave
Staff member
Yes. Noon CST.
Depends on what's on the swatter. Probably not, though. I still wouldn't do it unless you paid me a lot of money first.
How much would it cost to get you to lick a 'freshly' used fly-swatter?
Q

Have you ever actually husked corn? If so, were you viciously assaulted by a live wolverine in the attempt?
