Has any Forumite Influenced Your Life?

Jul 24, 2009#1

Shegokigo

Either by who they are, write like or their avatar?

For example: I just found a coin from Brazil in a deposit made by a client, my mind went straight to "JCM".

I see Picard pictures and immediately associate them with "Chaz" or "Jay".

Anyonelse get that from time to time thanks to someone you've come across here?

Jul 24, 2009#2

Gusto

Picard = Chaz

Shego or Wanda = Shego

Gandhi = Juski

Those are basically the subconscious recognition ones. Apart from that, yes, there are many people here who have influenced me, and they know who they are.

Um, because of you Shego, I can never look at green-haired women the same way again? :aaahhh:

O sure, a lot. Futurama quotes usually make me think of Gusto now. Now when I watch Red Dwarf I think of Ed. When I watch a movie I think of how fun it would be to watch with Kissinger and CdS. The list goes on and on.

Jay

Whenever I see a horse, I think of Falineolight.

Whenever I see Link, I think of Shawacy.

Whenever I see a hot latina woman with nice hair I think of Shego.

Whenever I think of movies that bore me, I think of Charlie Don't Sleep.

Whenever I see fireworks, I think of Gusto. rawr... lorenzo!

more to come... this is hard to do during a meeting

ps: wtf is our store link, me want that mug and stuffs

-Sports in general make me think of jhwouk, because his status messages on facebook are usually some sporty jargon that I don't understand.

-Violent movies/shows make me think of Shego

-Owls = Bubble of course, especially if they look like they're thinking inappropriate thoughts. :tongue:

Timo Soini? Of the True Finns party? The extremely ultra left-wing finnish political party that decries the EU as "capitalist" and exhorts the virtues of the welfare state, demonizes private sector medical care, hates tax cuts, loves big government and redistribution of wealth, and opposes NATO?

You know what's strange though Gas, the forum has had an odd effect on both of us. I noticed our bile spewing has really reduced since the move. I know I consciously, from time to time, reduce the "impact" of some of my posts or "dialing it back" before hitting the "reply" key, but I know alot of it has to be subconscious too.

No, for me it's more about not having as much time as I used to because I'm busier at work. Otherwise my biliousness would be cranked up to normal levels.

You know, I kinda did it to myself too. I read the "fic" Small Possibility, where "Kigo" really took off from, and ever since I can't watch the show. Funny thing is, I purposely only watched episodes with Shego in it anyway.

Let's see...everyone already mentioned what reminds me of Shego.

Whenever I see siamese cats I think of ZenMonkey.

Clone High makes me think of Juski. Hitchhikers Guide Calleja. Dwarves or Finland North Ranger.

I always think of Bubble now when ever I see owls. That causes me some problems because I designed a tiny Owl character for the comic and every time I look at it I think that everyone is going to think about Bubble.

OH! And there's a type of Sundae you can get in a local ice cream place called Bumble Berry Delight...everytime I have it I think of Bumble. I once said out loud to my husband, "I wonder if this is what Bubmle would taste like." I had no idea how wrong that sounded until the word had already exited my mouth.

I got the stink eye that day.

And now all you guys know about it too.

I should tell you that I was thinking about vampires at the time. I was wondering if different people would have flavors.

As to the other stuff, not really. I already have my own strong associations to stuff that's been mentioned (like Vonnegut, etc.). Mainly it's visual, like if I see someone's avatar in another place.

Mokey the Fraggle = Shego

Mokey Fraggle is one of the five main Fraggles in Fraggle Rock. She has mauve skin and long turquoise hair, and she wears a long gray robe-like sweater.
Mokey is a dreamer. She loves painting, writing poems in her diary, or just enjoying her surroundings. Because she is the oldest of the Fraggle Five, she functions as the 'den mother' within the group. Mokey is very emotional and concerned about others. She's always ready to help a friend in need, even if it's a Gorg. Mokey's job is to pick radishes in the Gorgs' Garden, and she is a member of the Clinging Creepers Emergency Flower Defense League.
Mokey shares a room with her best friend Red Fraggle. She has a soft spot for Gobo Fraggle, whom she thinks is very brave. She has a pet plant named Lanford.

This exactly, except I don't recall ever saying "the mexican on my forum..."

But I can't think of anything specific to any one forum member that no one has brought up already... all the basics, pretty much. This is going to sound silly, but since I found out that I live near (like within minutes of) a few forum members, I always wonder if I've ever seen someone from the forum walking down the street or in the grocery store or the mall or something and been totally oblivious.
