Journal Em Emalb's Journal: It's time I came clean 48

Journal by Em Emalb

This account has changed hands 4 times in the past year or so.

I thought I would have the time to take over this account, but sadly it is looking like I won't. I figured I would go ahead and get this truth out here.

It started off as something of a joke, a riff on the Dred Pirate Roberts motif from The Princess Bride. Several of the folks that "aren't here" anymore and I decided to have a go when the original guy who "owned" this account decided to stop writing. It seemed like a harmless thing.

I hope you aren't offended or angry or anything, and I hope the others who ran with this don't get mad at me for letting the secret out.

Take care.

  • So that explains why you've become such a pussy. I thought to myself "damn, I didn't know Marines got soft when they got old..."

    Thanks for clearing that up.

    • I call bluff. Too many people knew him. Bethanie would be able to tell us, though (she's the one who's met him in person from the circle).
      • Up until the gmail account, he had the same email address the whole time. And I've talked to him on email. I smell a red herring. I think the squirells hacked his password and are trying to discredit him.

        Well, either that or I was also "In" on it and I'm pissed at him for letting the secret out and I plan to chop off his toes and take back the account...

      • you forget, i met him as well, the other week. And well, I wouldn't be too quick to call that bluff Josh :)

      • No I haven't. He's been hiding from me. Afraid of getting his butt pinched, I suppose.

        I think this is still the same Em, playing out a fantasy of not really being him. Wishful thinking, Em. But you're still the same sweet curmudgeonly fellow as always. *kiss*

        Luv Ya!

        ....Bethanie....
        • EM, the butt pinching isn't bad, dude. When bethanie threw my on that table and had her way with me, well that would have been great if we hadn't been in Japanese restaurant with those grill tables. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree burns tend to take away from the experience. :-)

        Nothing like throwing the circle into a tizzy just before the weekend...
        • There's no way he's LG. If he were, he would have shown us his hairy manboobs by now and then thrown a temper tantrum when we looked. Damn it! Now I have an image of a hairy marine in one of those skimpy anime chick outfits in my head. I'm glad I have a strong stomach, otherwise I'd have to scrub out my brain.

        You should have put in a Me option.
        Well, anyway, that's what I'm choosing.

        Kibo should be another option.

      I vote that Em is actually a histrionic teenaged girl looking for attention now that TL has found somebody else to fill his hot tub.

    No wonder you were thinking of hanging it up.

    So...

    I sincerely doubt it's LG. If it were surak, all i'd want to know was that he was oke.

    Sebi, well, sebi's a sweetie.

    And the Em of late has also been a sweetie.

    But i dunno, the resemblance hasn't been strong.

    Emmy, baby, just tell us that you love us, and it'll all be oke.

        I miss Xerithane. In theory he should be within a few miles of me since he moved to Seattle about 9 months ago.

        Also he could probably be of help with the unread.org project.

        There are a few more, but I think this completes the popular list.

        *I define popular as people who's JEs get as many or more readers as my own.

  • At what date/time will Em post a JE/comment that says "Ha! Just fuckin' wit'cha!"?

    Put me down for next Monday, around 10:30ish. He's just enough of a bastard to let us stew for the entire weekend.

    Wait, I take that back. Em's enough of a bastard to let us stew for an entire week. Make it next Friday, 1:20 pm EDT.

  • I hope you aren't offended or angry or anything, and I hope the others who ran with this don't get mad at me for letting the secret out.

    I think I would be offended, if only because the account isn't "dread pirate roberts", it's "Mark Twane." Not just a feared legend, but a person with a fair bit of depth to them.

    Not to mention that purporting to be the same real person while in fact not being the same person is a LIE, and you'd BURN IN HELL (for at least five minutes each) for the deception.

      Ahh, it's all clear to me now. Ethelred, you can stop pretending and return Em, Leo and all the others their accounts. If they're still alive, that is. If not, then carry on with your world domination plans.

        Thank you, I shall.

        I was considering a coup d'etat using rubber chickens, but decided that that was unlikely to succeed with sufficient speed.

  • Please allow me to set the waay back machine to January of this year... [slashdot.org]

    And some background- Em was grumbling about job. Em was talking about leaving job. then Em posts the above journal. I compare Em to Ziggy Stardust.

    And that's pretty much how it happened.

    Now- MOD this up, and move on.

    P.S.- it sucks that Framemaker 5 can't read Framemaker 6 docs.
