    Those ads seem to be specific to your browsing history.

    Now, what could a woman be looking at on the interwebs to get ads for penis enlargement?

    :D

    I think that's bullshít. I get spammed knob enlargement, viagra and for some weird reason 'conversion to Mormonism' emails.
    I'm a sufficiently hung atheist so I've no interest in any of these..

    Although the sheer amount of knob enlargement emails has made me curious....

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,625 ✭✭✭AngryHippie


    I was an individual with a penchant for psychotropic substances and a keen interest in current affairs until I came to the conclusion that humans are a selfish bunch of ar$eholes whose only purpose on this planet is to overpopulate it with increasingly lazier and more selfish generations. Upon coming to this conclusion, I realized that the condition of the true inner Hippie is utter and fierce burning rage.

    Then I stopped smoking dope and became all mainstream, just before the Hip-sters took over from the Hip-pies and made me pretty glad to be a cog in the big wheel grinding us all to our inevitable doom.
    I have maintained my anger and am working at ways to focus it to generate energy without the by product of contempt and hatred. with little success to date.
    I may have to re-engage with some hallucinogens to reconnect the dots on that one, but I'm too busy workin for "the man" I'll save it for a time closer to the impending apocalypse when it is well and truly too late to alter the fate of our damned species and then ride the bomb to trigger the doomsday machine.

    Also, I couldn't be facked changing my username from when I first got called a "fcukin hippie" and it made me angry.

    One of my middle names is Elizabeth. Jones is the surname of my fav female movie character as well as a surname that I will be adopting as my own just as soon as all of the legalities are in place. :)

    For some reason I get the impression you'd make a great politician. And if you do, don't end up like Ming Flanaghan, he's a clown... Also people will call you a fcukin prîck instead of a fcukin hippie.

    LMAO!!!!!!!! Sheep in large Canadian cities are so common these days (NOT!) but the last fellow I dated was rather hairy if that counts. :)

    It is indeed :) I remember one night years ago watching MTV back when MTV actually played music, this fcucked up video came on (windowlicker). I was absolutely freaked out, but fascinated by it at the same time of how they achieved the special effects (credit to Chris Cunningham) + the music it's self was really unusual but I liked it, and have been a fan of the very weird and talented Richard D James ever since. :)

    Zubeneschamali is one of the two bright stars in the constellation Libra, now visible in the South around 2.00 am. Libra is my birth sign in astrology, meaning that the Sun was not in Libra when I was born because Astrologers have no clue about anything.

    My brother used to call me Li for short - and he would say Hi Li.... (when he was in cracking form he used to say Hi Li Rated!!) so Highly is Hi Li and the 1111 is because Highly was taken!

    AKA Hellspawn.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,119 ✭✭✭Mongarra


    Irish for "Bog garden" or "Turf garden". Name of field on farm where we built our house, so called because it had lots of springs and was quite soft. Thought it was a lovely name for a field - a lot better in Irish than in English - and, as we usually have no choice on our birth name, I thought it would be an opportunity to pick a nice "Boards" name.

    Some posters on boards.ie have wrongly taken it to be female, presumably because it ends in "a".

    Captain Planet. She was my favourite planeteer when I was a child :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,142 ✭✭✭Eggy Baby!


    Good question. Eggy is my nickname irl because of my second name. Baby goes nicely with Eggy so I put it in there. Then an exclamation mark for some reason.
