I have a gut feeling Kanye will show up solely to perform 'Homecoming' with the boys.

But... but... Eminem is mah homeboy

Does that mean you'll go? :awesome: You're going to be in Wisconsin, right? Chicago is pretty close to the Wisconsin border!

this is just too adorable

I just noticed she has part of her username as Buttonmuncher I don't have a twitter account but that sounds like something I'd do :lol: Love ya Mich :lips:

:awesome: MICH!!!!!!!!!

^ Ha ha, they're headlining with Eminem, that ought to be interesting. Really though, Lallapalooza has changed through the years. :| Look at the 2003 lineup and tell me you'd ever expect Coldplay to perform there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lollapalooza_lineups_by_year edit: And with this being in Chicago, on the shores of Lake Michigan... it would be nifty if they could wrangle up Kanye for an impromptu perfromance of 'Homecoming'.

So now answer Greg's original post. I've often wondered the same thing. I agree that the biggest barrier to communication/understanding is language. Quite frankly I admire each and every member on here whose first language is not English. I can't imagine what it is like to not only process another language the way it is supposed to be, let alone seeing all of the slang, abbreviations, made-up words, etc. that you see here. Plus, as you mentioned Greg, I think sarcasm can easily get lost in translation regardless of what is your primary language, since it is not always easy to decipher "tone" in a post. As far as the perception of people as a whole on the board versus in-person, I'd say it's a pretty accurate portrayal. I think it would be very difficult for someone to entirely put up a front that is not themself. Who they really are will seep through to some degree. When I first joined the board it was really hard to tell what people were like obviously, I thought some people were utter assholes until I kind of "familiarized" myself with how different people post on the board. (And that goes in the other direction, too.) I've had the privelege of meeting quite a few people on here in person, and I'd say most (if not all) of them were pretty much how I (eventually) perceived them to be.

Thanks bunches, I'm gonna double-sig this. :nice:

Happy Birthday Greg! :awesome:

^ and ^^ Yeah, it's crazy. We've been lucky where I am, but it seems like this will end up being the worst April ever for tornadoes in the U.S., especially considering there are more storms throughout the rest of the week. Looking at this graph (black line), there's already been something like 400 just in April?!? :sick:

What time is the wedding supposed to start anyway? (GMT)

yyyyyyookkaayyyyyy :wacky:

I'm Kishagurlgurlkaynay. :| edit: Should I modify my sig so it says that instead of Zuul?

I'm not even involved in this and you all make me wanna download it wtf

You all do realize that if you simply would stop posting in this thread with the sole pupose of insisting on locking it, it would die on page 2 and hence there would be no reason to lock it.

eddie you need to get some sleepy-sleep

I don't know because I didn't apply. So I suppose the answer is no (not specified ones, anyway).

^ why thank you

like Jacko fo sho

^ And it seems that America is obsessed with royalty because we don't have it, the closest thing we had were the Kennedy's and they're all out of office now. Seriously, there has been so much coverage on the wedding in the U.S. ever since the engagement announcement. For MONTHS, I think people across the pond would not believe how often it is the top story on the news over here, even months ago.
