Curse you @GasBandit! You mock me. My one failing (that I'll admit to) is an inability to do the Fascinating Eyebrow!

Gas... I'm sorry, man, but you really do look like an Ewok.

Is it just me or does Gas look photoshopped in?

It's because of the backlighting.

Yup. But it looks funny.[DOUBLEPOST=1500865364,1500865264][/DOUBLEPOST]And my hooties aren't flappy, I'm relatively svelte, and I'm NOT that fucking old!

I can't eat rat toes, though...

He was too busy playing Rimworld, so he had @Cheesy1 photoshop him in. Surprised you guys didn't notice.

Well it's not like that entire Meme got started the very first time I posted a real life picture of myself or anything like that.

Sooo... the sdcard adapter is at work. But I'm probably gonna have to stitch together multiple files (the dashcam records 3 minute files in sequence), which means bringing the files back home.

Long story short: Dashcam Karaoke footage tomorrow night.

Although I do not doubt @Cheesy1 's ability with Photoshop, I suspect the answer involves holograms.

Just look at the photo -- you guys look like the Jedi council sitting there.

I broke mine, remember? Still trying to find a good replacement pair that fits, functions well, and looks good. It's a tall order for my massive melon.

We allowed GasBandit on the council, but we did not assign him the rank of Master.

I think this "Jedi Council"-thing works on multiple levels.

Hey, when 900 years old we reach, look as good, we will not.

Aw, man, when you guys said "karaoke", I thought you meant actual karaoke, not dashcam karaoke. If I'd realized that, I would've come along.

That's because the only options are normal and thin!

Well, I mean, we said it several times! And in the official meetup thread, too!

The whole thing was kind of funny, though. I wasn't sure what to say to anyone, because I didn't know where people stood with respect to their online personalities. Like, are you You or are you Online-You?

For future reference, I absolutely and totally 100% of the time identify as an angry owl. My boss and coworkers just have to cope.

I'm exactly the same in person as I am online.

I'd say the person I was online and the person I was IRL both kind of stopped existing in 2013, and now there's just one of me in both places.

I've never tried to represent myself online as anything other than myself (though there are of course times where I obscure my identity). Turns out that "being yourself" is the easiest façade to maintain.

Yeah, I'm the same IRL as online. Trying to create an extra "persona" seems exhausting.

I have to admit, it was fun while it lasted.

But this is a lot less stressful, yeah.

I withhold but I don't fabricate when I am online.

Yeah, but there's also subconscious stuff. For example, I'm a lot more vocal here. In real life, I just don't talk much. Not nervous, just never felt the need.

sixpackshaker

Not so much persona, but I do take positions here that I don't agree with IRL. Or I turn my positions up to 11.

If I made my ideologies as defined IRL as I do online, I'd have basically no friends and almost all my family would hate me.

That moment when you realize you forgot to turn the dashcam off for the drive home. Thank goodness for time/date stamps, I managed to find it. Now to take it home and stitch the 4 files together into one file and upload it to youtube.

And it is OH SO CRINGEY

Oh god make it stop!

For the record, I'm an okay singer, but I've never been able to do the whole "yell/sing" thing in groups. I always try and slide to whomever I'm around and it makes me sound like a yodeling idiot. And now you are all aware of that fact.

Indeed, its funniness doubles every time I hear it!

Unfortunately, it starts out with a funny value of zero.

My wife does the same thing. Her brain won't stick with whether she's singing melody or harmony, and so she ends up wandering around somewhere between the two.

I watched the entire video, because it looks like the sort of thing on YouTube that ends in a screech and then the camera spinning around wildly.
Instead it ended with Aqua.

It's not that hard to understand. They're separate persons, yet all are JCM.
