Ibram

This child seems to live here . I think he is about seventeen years old . Most of the people who communicate on this site seem to be considerably older .

Does nobody worry about Ibram ? Why does a boy of his age spend so much time on internet ?

Where is your mother , where is your father , Ibram ? What are you learning at school ? Why do you spend so much time here ?

I worry about you , Ibram .

There has been a significant pause , and yet nobody has chosen to answer .

Are you afraid of facing the unacceptable ? A boy of seventeen in front of a screen through the day and the night ?

for weeks , months , and perhaps years on end ?

Where is your mother , Ibram ?

what do you care if he spends time online?

why are YOU online?

breakingnews , I am online from time to time . I know that screens can be obsessive . I am a teacher & I have four children . Whenever I come to this site , that boy Ibram is there .
As a mother , a teacher , a human being , I feel concerned about Ibram . Especially as a mother .

I worry about his meals all the time .

There are a lot worse things he could be doing ... granted, yeah, huddled in front of a computer monitor all day is not ideal, but he does not do that. I'm sure he's like the rest of us - checking the Cellar is just part of the thrice-daily check-email-check-myspace-buy-stuff-on-ebay routine.

And I can assure you that you do not need to worry about his meals. There's plenty of food to go around in this city.

And there's the ban; clearly buddug is a pure troll. Going after each of us in turn. It was fun while it lasted.

Banned? Oh well. I thought Ibram was a girl, anyways...living in a foreign country and being home-schooled? Who cares who/how long they are on the internet? Better than out in the streets!

Better he is here and not on some chat room/forum with lots of 40+ year old men wanting his hot body. :worried: Here he will learn and grow and not be asked to have sex with any of us (at least I don't think so ;) ) I welcome Ibram here for as long and as often as he wants. I always enjoy his posts, as I do most of the Dwellars.

Now, there's a few of you lot I wouldnt MIND being asked to have sex with...

That nonwithstanding, Buddug is half-right for once, I do spend way too much time online... But hey, thats just so I can talk to my girlfriend (or so I tell myself), so it's okay

I am a teacher & I have four children

Wow...that's scary.

Well done, UT.

Buddug was troll-a-licious.

(S)He was awesome! I can't wait for the next permutation. It is a wide world of fruitcake out there and the holidays are coming.

Now I can take her off ignore & read all the things which would have made me respond crazily when she was still here :)

[QUOTE=GriffIt is a wide world of fruitcake out there and the holidays are coming.[/QUOTE]

oooooo--mind if I use that, griff?

I've no problem with that.

[edit] Ibram, sent you a private message

praise the lord. no, make that: praise the fucking lord.

Good decision, UT. Works well for both The Cellar, *and* Buddug. We don't have to listen to the raving, and (s)he can go around boasting about how the stupid Americans hate their children so much that they ban people who point out the risks. Everybody wins.

Are we sure LJ just didn't give Buddig a new user name? ;)

Novel idea! "You can stick around, but your new name is asshat."

Sorry about that. I meant "user title." But he could have given him/her a new user name, too. If "Cock" suddenly joins the board, we'll know who it is.

nipped that one in the... um... buddug

well, i hope you're happy, Ibram. you got someone banned. jeez.

oh, and marichiko, if you had a clue ....well, nevermind.

He seems to do quite well in terms of being able to present a cogent argument, unlike some other people that I could very easily name. He's not the first child we've raised.

Yes, yes, that's it, use this thread to tell me how wonderful I am!

:notworthy

Kind of backfired on old BDu, didn't it? :)

Mmmm, lovely ego boost, last thing I need though!

Here's her family portrait:

An asshat, but thought provoking, until this latest series of Dweller stalkings. (s)he tried baiting individuals in the threads, but this starting a thread to bait each individual and try to urge us all to dump on the chosen victim, was stupid. Seems like (s)he has been reading psychology for dummies.:rolleyes:

The technique is common on certain other boards... ( AG and SC spring to mind)

For some reason I am totally dense when it comes to spotting trolls. I am such an easy target it's quite pathetic really :P

Maybe you're just more understanding Dana. When you take someone at face value you're not expecting them to turn into twits right before your very eyes.

twits

You spelt that wrong

no, that is indeed spelt 'that'

hahahah

how should I spell twit? I didn't mean twat. Did you know that a twat over here is a vagina?

LoL Ali, it was a joke...albeit a snide one at the expense of someone who is no longer around to defend herself. I was suggesting that she was in fact a twat not a twit. Twat means the same over here but is also used as an insult. As in 'you daft twat'. Bit like calling someone a prick.

It's pronounced twot over here, even though it's still spelled twat.

That's just a bit of trivia for your day though. ;)

har! i shall remember that

No, no, she seemed to be this kind of troll:

It's pronounced "twot" here too (rhymes with "dot.") Are you saying it's pronounced like it rhymes with "cat" in the UK, Dana?

Yup

I hate these twit for twat fights.

Can't we all just get along?

hahahahahaha very good

Dana, Aliantha & Clodfobble have already answered, but I am intrigued now.

Is it pronounced (cat) twat or (dot) twat in your part of the world?

Would this be an appropriate time to share my favourite expletive?

Twat on a brick!

We say TWUT here in Ohio. It's kind of like "WUT did you say?" Seriously though, it's more like dot.

We say it with the vowel as round as we can get it for emphasis.

We pronounce it the dot way here in Kansas.

as in twat waffle

How dare you, you've let my thread fall to number nine in Home Base!

I'm offended. Worship me more.

is it 'eye'bram or 'ibb'-ram?

we say eee-bram here in east cornflake...

Actually it is Eee-bram.

pfft

Well, I don't know about everyone else, but I just had to know that little tidbit. I just wouldn't have been satisfied in life without it. ;)

Back to twats for a moment. I was once flying on the Trans World Airlines, aka, TWA, and the stewardess asked me if I'd prefer some of her TWA coffee or some of her TWA tea.
:rimshot:

shenanigans.

a nervous waiter in a fine dining establishment once offered our party some cock........uh cocktails. no lie

When I was a very little girl - about 4 or so - I got into mum's make-up while mum and dad had friends over.

After I considered myself suitably 'done up' I presented myself for inspection by the adults.

They all giggled a bit which offended my sensibilities to the extent that I loudly asked, "What's so funny? Did I commit adultery or something?"

As you can imagine this question led to nothing but more giggles and laughter.

Sooo... we shouldnt call eye-bram *Ibby* anymore??

Not EYE-bram, EEE-bram.

Psh, I dunno, call me whatever you want. If you MUST, call me Jason. At least I know how thats s'posed to be pronounced, I think.

Ibby is soooo cute though, its really fitting :)

I have weird little nicknames for everyone though

You mean here, or in Real Life?

One less dumb bastard in the Cellar. Oops. Hang on... No, wait... Lemme see... three goes into naught, naught, carry the naught... HEY! We're back down to zero dumb bastards.

So Duckie whats my cute little nick name ?????

wolf wrote:

Both, it takes a while for me to come up with an adequate name until I get to know someone, usually it plays off their name or a trait.

See zip, when I read your posts or type to you, in my head I say "bippityboobah" :blush:

Same as mrnoodle is automatically "moodle", LJ is "LumbersaurusJex".

Well, they arent *always* cute to anyone else but me.

My boss is affectionately called "Fuck-knuckle" or "wilewallywanker".
Co-workers are Mick-kal instead of Michael or Mick, The Doo-Ronnie or The Dont Ron (circumstances pending) instead of Ron, Topher rather than Chris...etc etc. Funny though, other people pick up on it and use those names too.

Eh - I know its weird, but it helps pass the time in the mind of me.

Oooh. What's mine?

HEY! HEY! STOP GETTING OFF TOPIC! THIS THREAD IS ABOUT HOW GREAT I AM!

For Pete's Ache -- ;) -- twat is pronounced with a broad A as in father.

Is that .....'farther', 'fayther' or 'faerther'? :P

"bippityboobah"

WTF !!??!!??!!??

I have been calle lots of things but never one of these ,

wolf wrote:

"Reggie"...which is short for RegGrundy" ...muahahaha.... coz one of the first thing I read from you was you having the same undies on as the nutter you were treating. RegGrundies are rhyming slang for Undies.

Sorry ya asked?:D

Nope. Amused!

I thought is was for Pete's sake...

yeah yeah yeah *woships Eee-bram*

I decided it's high time to ressurect this thread.

I demand more worship.

Ibram lives in Taiwan...For that I am eternally jealous.

He goes to Paris on spring break and refuses to tell us about the girl. He is a fickle god.

By his own admission he's high all the time. It's not fair.

I did tell about the girl...

But it wasn't spring break; it was a field trip. Spring break is NEXT week, and I'm going home again!

Eee-Bram, Eee-Bram...he kinda pisses me off with his Urbane-ness which is stunning whence one considers his youth; but, when I look more closely, it's just pure jealousy on my part.

So! Worship Eee-Bram! One exotic god is as good as another!

I called him "stumblefuck" once, in a military-rhetorical spirit, but I think he's forgiven me. He now knows I can speak Sergeant.

Yes.

Unless maybe you're from New England.

Hail Ibram, full of grace
May he suck his girlfriend's face
He leadeth me through flowers yellow
and created lime jello

Amen

Fuck you, Ibram...I ain't giving in to your request.

Oh...wait...

No, father and bother sound the same in New England.

I completely missed this thread the first time around. I'm afraid to ask, but what's my secret nickname, Ducks?

If I ever catch you on yahoo and you dont scare me away...I may just tell you Stevie boy!! :D

That's a charming offer, but I don't seem to be able to control the scaring-away women thing. It's sort of an involuntary reflex. (Just ask Brianna.)

what's mine, ducks?

See Monster, you threw me a curve ball. You look NOTHING like I pictured in my head....so its all screwed up there at the minute.

I will get back to you when the vision is clear.

PS....Ibby is gonna be PISSED!!

I like it. A thread started as a way to upset Ibram, drifts into teenage ego stroking, then becomes the DucksNuts version of LJ's username thread...

Great driftage.

Now, what's mine Ducks? :)

Scooter :D

For 2 reasons, when i was in school, my gf used to draw cartoons and one of them was Scooter Girl, we used to refer to her as SG...also she was blone and has the biggest Boobicas a girl could have and still stand upright.

I miss Scooter Girl, she was awesome and had heaps of fun...she was popular with the guys.

I'll scrounge around and see if I can find an old drawing.

Ooh thank you!

you didn't get your coupon?

Actually, SD, the more I learn of your intense nerdiness, the more I want you, baby. Gold key, right? :D ooooooo, baby!

As is befitting the 100th post in this thread...

KEEP FUCKIN' TALK ABOUT MEEEEE!

I dunno, Bruce, as both my parents were from around Boston, and I never remember them rhyming "father" and "bother."

I do remember my mother making "khaki" and "car key" sound alike once. I had to ask; she was indeed speaking of clothing. A momentary attack of acute Bostonianism, I think.
