Anyone ever spot a Boardsie randomly?

Dudess

There are some Boards members whose visage is etched on one's brain, thanks to Know Your Nerds and the numerous other threads that feature Boardsie pics. Plus, some people use pics of themselves as their avatars and/or within their user profile page - "famous" Boardsies if you will.
So, has anyone ever had a "Wow! I recognise him/her from Boards!" moment?

I did on Grafton Street today when I saw 6th... Well I thought it was 6th but it actually wasn't...

phantom_lord

nope

Peared

Do you have a pic up anywhere on here Dudess?

leninbenjamin

pretty sure i've seen Biko around a bit. i think i've a fair idea who Tar is as well.

Dudess

Nope, keep forgetting to. Don't have a digital camera and always mean to ask mates for pics.

Peared

Wise girl methinks.

Cool_CM

Not randomly saw but I did realise from the "know your nerds" thread that I actually know one or two of them, which was weird!

Just stick your head on a flatbed scanner and post the results.

seen pythia and agent smith having a coffee in starbucks a couple months back

although there seems to be a couple of people saying "hey Cremo, did you go to pres (my secondary school)?" yet they never answer back so i haven't a clue who they are.

that's about it really.

I saw Jizzlord in NUIG once. I recognised him from photos of Galway Beers. Afterwards I realised I should have shouted out JIZZLORD but that might have been weird!

GhostInTheRuins

Nope, don't think so.

Peared

Those things that you use to scan things before the multi use things came in !!

Adam

Don't think I have, but I don't think I would recognise anyone, except maybe 6th on account of him using his mush as his avatar for a while there!

I think cormie said he thought he recognized me once, never got to the bottom of that!

Me too. But I plan to put an end to that when I move back to Dublin - I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna go to a Beers!

Peared

Funny, I wudda thought you knew lots of Boardsies.

Are you not Bossyarkys missus?

Creamy Goodness

been always meaning to go to a beers but never pluck up to courage to walk into a room full of like-minded nerds - like myself - i'd need a couple for dutch courage before i'd walk in

AlmightyCushion

I've been meaning to go to a boards beers as well but I don't want everyone to know I'm a nudist.

Not exactly the mystery of the month ...

I suspect they would immediately blot it from their minds with copious alcohol ...



Hmmm, only random spotting I can think of was seeing Rozabeez in Maynooth a few weeks back.

Oh so you thought "logging in BossArky" meant... ew! :eek:

I saw 6th near St. Stephens Green SC, I think it was about a year or two ago.

LOL certainly wouldn't be the first time a boardsie openly talked about their sex life on Boards!

Sherifu

Once or twice. Good times.

I have never met any boardsies.....but my Uni does have a forum.
So I could be sitting beside one everyday and anyday.
Thats not a comforting thought.

Karl Hungus

Don't think I've spotted anyone, at least not from the know your nerds pics, it would have been from meeting them at a previous boards beer, or some such.

Quite a few people seem to think they've spotted me, I've gotten a few messages from boardsies over the last year or two asking "Were you in such and such a place the other day?" and I'd have been nowhere near where they said they saw me. Seems like I've got a few dopplegangers running around out there.

the_syco

Does seeing them in work count?:D

I've met Steyr, Biko and RedHairedGuy randomly but I've probably met a lot more without realising

I know. It's fairly sad really. Here I am treating them like I know them so well... and I've never even met them.

Steve

There's a few boardsies I want to thump the livin daylights out of and there's a few that I want to hug, whatever, and have kids with.

I think actually meeting them would change all that so I'm for satus quo.

Doctor DooM

I met VexOrg at an competition for new businesses which I won. He was one of the guests.














Seriously

Peared

^ I thought I knew him but turns out the him I thought he was is somebody else.

Good question... Also does watching them through a night vision scope from the bushes count as well?

cornbb

I spotted biko in the pub last night with 2 beautiful ladies Also tend to spot other Galway boards folk around the place after meeting them at the beers.

I hope they weren't from Dublin, otherwise he would have told them where to go.

Black Swan

Spot a boardsie randomly? No. But I stalked one once. Does that count?

I have a vague recollection of you saying that before, or something similar... >_>

B!ue turns to the guy that just came off strike before the Oscars and yells, "SCRIPTS! SCRIPTS! I need some new material for boards!"

Sleepy

I'm pretty sure I started a thread like this about two years ago.

Nerin

i didnt even known what he looked like,but he seemed american and i assumed he's seen my KYN posts.checked his myspace and it was him. turns out he didnt see my KYN posts and was just was staring into space.

exciting indeed.

KnifeWRENCH

I only know 2 people on Boards.
And they're people I went to school with, so they don't really count:(

bronte

I was in Doran's a few weeks back.
Was in the line for the loo, when I saw an oddly familiar face go past.
I ran out of the loo and called "6th!" and sure enough, 'twas him!

OpenYourEyes

Was at the Aiden gig in the academy a few weeks ago and recognised a girl who has a big tatoo of a japanese girl kinda twirling or something on her back! said tatoo is in the "ile show u mine...." thread!

cant remember her username, but its an amazing tattoo!
