Journal Em Emalb's Journal: Hello? Is this thing on? And a Poll too 45

Journal by Em Emalb

Where the hell is everyone today?

I need my slashdot fix and I ain't getting it.

Well, other than a certain someone picking on my bears. Sure, kick us while we are down, will ya? ;)

When you go over to a friends house and they have those little fridge magnets that have words written on them, do you:

A) spell out dirty words and innuendo?

B) make poetic sayings?

C) laugh at others silly sentences?

D) get another beer, never even looking at the outside of their fridge?

E) reach into the ca-ca-ca-cooler and hope no one spit in the water?

F) what's a fridge?

You want variety? You want spice in your polls? here's the place, bub.

    Seriously, the only times I've ever seen alphabet fridge magnets has been in TV adverts - I don't know anyone who put them on their fridge in real life.

    MT.
    • really?

      Wow. I thought it was a requirement.

      I don't have them on my fridge, but most of my friends do.

      I've been over at people's houses during parties....even if I don't know them, they get msgs like this the next day on their fridge:

      Cream her wet velvelty love mound.*
      try sweaty hot animal love, it's nice

      Yeah, I'm a freak. Answer is A. Always has been, always will be. ;)

      *this was a random sampling of a couple I remember. No, I don't condone sex with animals.
    • H) I wish I could say that.

      My brother has them on his fridge. It looks a lot better now that he has a kid though...

      The magnetic words aren't as bad, these are the big plastic letters. And he doesn't even keep beer in his fridge.
  • In fact, we had them in my house in college. Like a TON of them. Even found the ones that HAD the naughty words and such.

    First time I introduced my gf to my roommates (who is now my wife, btw), they went out and put all kinda (rude, crass, etc...) sayings in magnets all over her car.
  • My friend's parents in high school also had a David and one famous venus or another magnet, with multiple clothes for each, on their fridge. I put them in each others clothes and spelled out suggestive things about that with the letter magnets about them.
  • I was going to link to this great DHTML word magnet site (best one I've seen) but I can't find the link anywhere... all I remember is the domain had "red" in the title. d'oh.

    anyhow:

  • Of course I get naughty, but I do it *very* subtly, in a poetic manner.

    Of course, we got the Redneck magnet set, so we've got lots of material to work with! :-)

      Of course, we got the Redneck magnet set

      We have a mix of XXX, Erotic and Shakespearean sets, which makes for some interesting combinations at times...

    • Rednecks and reading? WTF?
    • Of course I get naughty, but I do it *very* subtly, in a poetic manner.

      Subtle? You? Have you looked up the word subtle [webster.com] recently? ;)

      I'm sure *subtle* and *redneck* work well together...

      • Well, the redneck thing adds in interesting tidbits like "double wide" and "shotgun" and "dang".

        And as far as subtle goes -- you do see that there are obscure, perceptive, refined, expert, ingenious, artful and crafty ways to be subtle. I think my favorite phrase in the definition is: "having or marked by keen insight and ability to penetrate deeply and thoroughly."

        So tell, me Surak... do *you* have the ability to penetrate deeply and thoroughly? In the subtle sense of the definition, of course! ;-)

  • One friend has a collection of Shakespearean word magnets on the fridge. It has led to a number of mind bending sentences being formed with such lovely words as forsooth.

    (I worry about the day when you have to bring the laptop and a wireless connection to the fridge to look up the sentence that someone left there...)
  • Gotta know your priorities in life.

    Of course, our favorite bar has a chalk board just above the urinals. Nothing like unrestricted freedom when drinking.
  • I only usually see these at my family's houses, and they are for the kids, so no dirty words. But the kids come up with some interesting things.
    • Oh, but we used to have a dry erase board on my fridge. Supposedly for the purpose of leaving phone messages. They usually referenced someone's mother or if it was a call from a girlfriend, it usually started out, "When I kicked you girlfriend out of my bed this morning, she asked me to tell you..."

      Nothing like living in a house full of your "friends". :-)

  • The OUTSIDE of a fridge does not concern me... the INSIDE holds all the goodies.
  • I'll even go so far as to write dirty things on the fridge if they don't have those 'fridge magents. I usally carry a pen with me, you know.

  • I have the most fun making phrases that are both poetic and suggestive, especially using words that have more than one meaning (e.g. "boil"). Some friends just got a new fridge, and it's covered with magnetic words just begging to be rearranged.

  • Dirty words all the way, I suppose. Especially, because fridge-magnet-alphabets usually don't include asterisks. I hate that character with passion. But that is just one of my pet peeves. But it has been quite a while since I encountered a fridge adorned with these things. A friend of mine got a new fridge and it came with one of those white-board markers, you know--the ones that can be removed with a dry cloth. Cheap for the producer, but a nice gesture and a good idea. The fridge is the ideal place for im

    • OMG!! I must be *so* *freaking* *annoying* then!!

      :-D

      ....Bethanie....
      Oh, and bravo on the dirty words!

      • Yes, yes you are. For a while I seriously considered putting you on my foe list for that reason alone. The summer was hot and I was in quite a bad mood frequently. And I decided to keep my foe list to people who "really" deserve it. But I did rant [slashdot.org] about the whole asterisk dilemma a while ago. So typographically speaking you might be annoying. But as long as I like what you like I should really ignore how you write it. The ideas are more important than the way they are expressed and all that.

        • I'm glad you can get past it. Because I rarely use euphemisms when I mean to swear, and when I use my *emphasis* and emoticons ;-) those are habits I picked up on IRC many years ago. They are part of my written "accent," if you will. They are how you can tell that I'm the one who's writing, regardless of the signature at the bottom of the post.

          But, as I said, you seem to have the right attitude. So no aspersions to be cast your way from me!

          ;-)

  • though sometimes, they're the same thing
  • in an otherwise dying relationship.

    Yes, I had a girlfriend with a set of Shakespeare magnet words (which I gave her) on the fridge. In the last six months of our relationship, she alluded to the downward spiral of our association by quoting ever increasingly dark lines from Hamlet (she was a scholar).

    We both have names that appear prominently in Shakespeare, so no illusions, just allusions.

    It wsas the only time I broke off a relationship in the 16th Century.

  • How can you be by the fridge and NOT get a beer?
