Confess something that might surprise others or damage your reputation on JUB - 2012

[stacy]

What am I thinking about right now?

Sex. Food. Sex. Food...

[AWP82]

Sex. Food. Sex. Food...

Hmm...pretty much. Not bad.

[AWP82]

Speaking of food, I'm still craving some more "Thanksgiving" dinner (i.e. turkey, ham, various sides, etc.). I think I'll get one more round of that stuff the next time I go to Giant.

[G-Lexington]

I know right?

I know Lex was like wtf!?

I just thought you were suggesting that anything was a better topic than me.

Lex

[JP.]

Holy..enchanted my love

[JP.]

Bye bye sex kitten..
but one thing I haven't get a chance to know before he departed:

He mentioned few times that english isn't his first language..
but I can't fathom if a white guy claim that, it just doesn't make sense to me.

I wonder what is his origin? He could be a russian who stay in UK/US? or a Macedonian?
His eyes and facial feature could represent a guy from Balkan area..hmm..hew knew?

[Hard-up1]

He speaks Russian and Macedonian, and possibly a bit of German. He's enrolled in Spanish. We might as well converse by proxy for him, as he's clearly not going to make it here among the grownups.

What he posted about Ashy deserves a kick in the pants. We don't need that kind of nasty here.

[Ram]

I have gained 20 pounds. I will never forgive myself. Kill me now. Send me to the gallows. Hang me...if the rope can bear my weight.

[tombastep]

Just filled out a job application that felt more like an endurance run. I couldn't believe how many questions they asked me and the same ones over and over just worded differently. I mean I get it, they're properly wording it differently to same if the answers from previous questions are consistent, but man there were a lot of them.

Be careful of that. The last time I had to fill out an inordinately big application (rife with abruptly and randomly personal questions about my beliefs on various issues) it was a scientologist employer.

I am familiar with the place, it's a place my younger brother worked at before.

[loki81]

I was inspired by the "sock puppet" thread to change my avatar.

and I'm still a little stunned in disbelief at the prospect that BostonPirate might have been a fake.

[borg69unimatrix]

Huh? What makes you think BP is fake?

[xbuzzerx]

Huh? What makes you think BP is fake?

Over in the Andreus thread after JohannBessler did his searches and found that no one by Andreus's real name apparently ever existed anywhere in the U.S., people pointed out that BostonPirate claimed in the past that Andreus was his real life student, friend and tenant.

[loki81]

Huh? What makes you think BP is fake?

the Andreus thread seemed to conclude that he was a fake, but BP claimed to know him/met him IRL and hasn't posted on JUB since that.

but I'd give him the benefit of the doubt on any explanation if/when he resurfaces on the forums, I have a hard time thinking of BP as a fake profile.

[Keeland]

That made me choke on my gum.

I'm neither defending or admonishing Andreus. I didn't know him, and I never spoke to him...

... but there are a LOT of illegals around where I live, and this is what I've learned about them in the last 20 years:

They have very convincing FAKE ID. They know our systems better then we do, and take advantage of them to get governmental food, housing, education, and medical. They don't give you their real names, or their real birth dates. They will often claim to be single here, while having a wife and kids back home. They lie about how many dependents they have to get less taxes taken out of their checks.

The sources Johann used was for American citizens who play by the rules, and want to be found. They don't apply for those who are here illegally and do not want to be found.

Or he could have been someone who is paranoid like me, and NEVER uses their real name anywhere on the internet. Facebook, Myspace, various E-mail accounts - I never give them my real name.

Just because you couldn't Google him doesn't mean he was never here. He just didn't want to be found.

But his brother was purportedly here as a college student and you'd need a college visa for that. They couldn't find any trace of him either.

His dad was supposedly some super-influential Greek businessman, so it's hard to buy they were both here illegally with no paperwork.

For all I know, this just means he owned TWO fishing boats. As I said, they know their way around the rules. And/Or whatever name Johann was using to look them up wasn't the name on their birth certificates from their country.

There's people I KNOW were born in the US that I can't find in Google. That doesn't mean they don't exist, or were never here. It means they fell through cracks, or they don't want to be on the Grid. Lack of evidence isn't always evidence, IMO.

I'm not saying you're wrong. However I would say as someone who arrived entirely after the fact his whole story is so over the top and so fishy I have no idea how so many people bought it in the first place. An expat ... Greek... Muslim... gay... super hot sexgod who dances and was in the Iraq War and .... yeah.

[JWaggy]

That made me choke on my gum cum.

Fixed that for you.

I confess, I have never been on an airplane.

I enjoyed that black and white picture of his chest.

I confess that I'm trying to remember who xbuzzerx was before.

Completely forgotten. Who had an avatar with an (Indian? Hispanic?) guy with a big smile?

I had no avatar before at all. This is my first.

^ You're the new giancarlo, aren't you.

[xbuzzerx]

^ You're the new giancarlo, aren't you.

Nope. Even if I were repeatedly responding to me going "omg lol new GianCarlo" does nothing for your argument. And I use the word as a euphemism because basically all you've said is "WAHHH don't use the race word I don't like it."

[ChickenGuy]

Did you ever have a previous account before Aug 2012 or a different user name?

Smiley at end because I'm not trying to be accusatory or interrogative, just trying to jog my memory.

[borg69unimatrix]

xbuzzerx is just circling his prey.

I did not. This forum (not you, personally, but in general) is very sensitive to people refrying themselves onto new names, so I suppose if any question ever seriously comes up an admin or something can verify that I'm a unique IP.

[loki81]

tbh, I couldn't care less if someone did create a fake e-personality to use on the forums, as long as they're not using other people's pictures without their permission as themselves, and as long as they're not deliberately trying to drum up pity/sympathy/attention.

From the looks of it, BP may have served as the puppeteer. Since someone has just noticed that "Andreus" logged in on November 26, I think we have such conclusive proof that we can bring the matter to a close.

[weinerslav]

Well... I'm new here so I decided to share a secret, instead I find more about the Andreus conspiracy LOL. Maybe he should come and share a secret!! ahah

[JohannBessler]

^Tell us the secret.

[weinerslav]

Well, the thing is, I have so many I don't know where to start...

Let's shit the conversation with the only other thing that matters, I find masturbation more interesting than sex!
I suppose either I have a very dark side unexplored by my partners or I'm very good at what I do LOL

Crap, I wanted t say shift, sorry everybody... I have a question about my secret, most gay guys always say they can make any straight guy cum, there is even a topic on that somewhere, so, in your opinion, are all the guys like that, or straight guys are easier? Honestly I feel I have an unexplored side in me, but even so, I feel my sex life is getting very dull (too much?), and even if I'm in a serious relation, I don't feel it would make much difference changing partner... Could it be... I'm straight??? LOL

[maxpowr9]

I was inspired by the "sock puppet" thread to change my avatar.

I concluded that a long time ago. I simply asked a few supposed Bostonians (particularly some prominent CE&P posters) if they would meet up for some friendly chat and they got cold feet and they also knew very little about said city. Elvin was a former Boston boy and he could at least chat up some of his favorite spots in the city despite not living there anymore. Doesn't take much to snuff out a fake.

[loki81]

despite only having been to Boston once (for a few hours, when I was like 6 years old), I will trash talk it endlessly.

I'm sure it's a lovely city, but I feel like it's my duty as a fake New Yorker to hate it.

and I will keep calling them the New Jersey Jets. JETS = Just End The Season

[frankfrank]

How did you stomach GUT them? D: Ugh, I can never get over the smell...

Corrected for truth, because they're part of the intestines, LOL.

They look pretty nasty, although scrapple is actually really tasty.

Scrapple **MUST** be fried crispy...otherwise, forget it. That makes all the difference.

LOL well I've always liked them...ever since I was a kid. My grandma cooked them, so they kind of just grew on me.

Are they boiled, or are they deep-fried (like "cracklin's"--pork rinds), or what? And if not deep fried, do they have that really weird "slippery" texture like the tripe (a texture which I can't really...stomach) that is used in menudo?

Huh? What makes you think BP is fake?

No, BP isn't fake at all. They had that huge oil rig explosion that poked a nasty hole in the Gulf of Mexico a couple of years ago and fouled a lot of water and beachfront in the process.

[JP.]

Have you ever been attracted to foreign food but completely have no idea how to consume? Well, my salami craving land me to anti pasto craving. Blame it to recent Italian resto visit, that place blew me away.
And..and..and..
When I went to grocery few hours ago decided to buy some. However, I was completely distraught by the appearance..well anti pasto look strange to me, all of them. They drowning inside olive-oily mixture, all of them pickle-ish looking and smell funny...
Im not sure Im gonna like them as I ate in restaurant.

Not only anti pasto, I also have no idea about cheese culture, some of them look appetizing but with my previous experience dining with cheese platter, I might say some score my taste buds and the other not so much. (yuck)
But maybe it's in the matter Im educating myself, Im completely illiterate when buying cheese

Except for parmesan, feta, mozzarella and cheddar.

[RazorzEdge88]

I know of no other way to prepare it, my friend!

[frankfrank]

I did not. This forum (not you, personally, but in general) is very sensitive to people refrying themselves onto new names,

Is that anything like refried beans?

and I will keep calling them the New Jersey Jets. JETS = Just End The Season

Always found it interesting that the New York area has the JETS, the METS, and the NETS (pro basketball, nee "New York" followed by New Jersey. and now Brooklyn). I've always thought there should be some other New York sports teams and other things:

Since POKER is considered a "sport" by being shown on ESPN, you have the New York BETS.
Some athletic team at West Point (up the Hudson not far from NYC) would be the New York CADETS.
A small musical group who plays flamenco guitar for the public, could be the New York FRETS.
An upscale shop selling household animals and supplies could call itself NEW YORK PETS. If they get sick, take them to New York VETS.
An affinity group of tennis aficionados could call themselves the New York SETS.
Considering the extreme international diversity in NYC, Vietnamese chefs COULD be called New York TETS.
A swimming relay team would be the New York WETS.

[frankfrank]

I know of no other way to prepare it, my friend!

Not entirely true. Yes it's always fried, but I've seen it fried only to being very limp and barely crispy at all, and it's awful that way.

[RazorzEdge88]

Well yeah. What I really meant was, I refuse to make it without getting it nice and crispy.

Go to a good cheese counter. Tell them how much you want to spend and ask them to pick out some cheeses they think are very good right now. Even a cheese-literate person can't pick out the best cheeses that a talented cheesemonger can, so leave decisions in their hands. All you have to do is remember which of their selections you especially enjoyed for your return.

[frankfrank]

Just before he disappeared for about a year (starting in late 2010), I had contacted BP via PM as I had hoped to meet him next time I got to Boston, and he wrote back and said that meeting would be cool. Puppetmaster or not, I would still enjoy such a meeting. He recently talked about being in a wheelchair and HIV+ in one of these threads (I think it was maybe THIS thread??), which doesn't change anything in the least, affecting whether I'd want to meet.

I had written him, at the time, with a fall 2011 Boston trip VERY likely on the horizon at the time. However, even with his absence or isolation from JUB at the time, that plan became entirely irrelevant when the trip actually happened, because some events in Pennsylvania that I hadn't anticipated (GOOD, not bad) entirely stole the time I had planned to spend in New England.

There are so many cheeses that one could probably get a post-graduate college degree in cheeses.

Generally I despise the stuff, YECCH, but I have to admit that I can be entirely bewildered when I see an incredible cheese selection somewhere (and I actually find THAT to be rather interesting to look at).

[JohannBessler]

Quote, paraphrased:

Lex: "I have lied about something on JUB. Repeatedly. On purpose." I tied my brain into knots trying to figure out what it was. One night, I didn't sleep very well.

Now, I know! I got it! Lex, I consider that one of the most brilliant riddles I ever saw on JUB. Bravo!

They're generally boiled.

lol and yeah, the texture is quite slippery and "flimsy".

[JohannBessler]

^I tried to eat it once. (I will try almost anything once, except for dogs and cats.)

I bought a pint of them at Walmart, brought them to work, and stuck them in the microwave. I went into the other room and waited. Suddenly, I remember thinking,"Somebody farted." Then I realized that the "aroma" came from the chitterlings.

I'm sorry, Neo, but I couldn't get past that latrine smell, and Lordy, I don't know how you could eat something that smells like doody.
