Taltos needs help in learning how to do a proper vanity search. Can anyone help him out?

It's a simple thing, really, at least if I understand how honeylick patiently explained it to VermillionSkye (she was shyly curious, I gather.) You just include the string of characters you're searching for when you submit a search. For instance, if your target is a name such as oscuridad, you probably don't want to search on dad or you'll get lots of hits, but you might be able to use just "oscur" since that won't appear in very many posts other than the ones using your name. Similarly, if your name has boobs in it you might want to use the whole thing, such as BoobsNBrains so as to not bring back every single post that has the word "boobs" anywhere in it.

The other key, according to Jimi, is to remember to search the entire post, not just the title.

See what I mean?

If not, PMs to bg23, msmuffet, or silverlily are indicated.
 
I borrowed somebody's sense of humor when I woke this morning, since I found it sitting on the front porch. It wasn't labeled, but by the amount of use its had (judging by wear and tear) it almost certainly belongs to kotori or harbinger. I mean, it could belong to pookie, I suppose, and I could list others such as smartandsexy or linuxgeek who have well-used senses of humor, but how would those have gotten here?

Hm.

Does anybody know how to tell?

Perhaps you could ask ksmybuttons, dolf, LadyG, freya, or estevie? If they don't know, I'm sure Mia62 will.

Back in the good old days I might've asked Killer Muffin, or even cymbidia, but now with RubyFruit gone it sometimes seems like trolls are running rampant.

Hmm, let me see here.... no, no, it's not mine. I've still got the one I came here with. Only it's a little flatter. I think I was sitting on it.

It must have belonged to a troll if the label has been removed. Removing the label is punishable by law, you know. Only a troll would used an unlabeled sense of humor. It was probably stolen, if you're a troll that's often the best you can do.


Hey Lukky! I was in Duluth a couple of weeks ago, of all places. How 'bout that? I learned a lot of new things. For example, did you know that Minnesota has a very great number of all-you-can eat buffets?

They are quite popular.

People in Minnesota like to feed at an actual trough.

I did first think that when I walked in, with the way everyone was bent over the tables and all. But it was quite civilized. Everyone was very nice. Of course I had just left Kentucky, so naturally my point-of-view would be skewed. For all I know they were all horrible savages by normal human standards.

Anyway, I am a enthusiastic convert to the All-You-Can-Eat Buffet. I have noticed some call themselves All-You-Care-To-Eat, but I consider that a cop-out and a transparent hypocrisy. You pay one price, and by God, you are going to get your money's worth, and then some. The whole undertaking is not considered a success until you are convinced that the establishment has lost money on you. To simply stop eating because you are full, because you don't feel like eating more shows a spineless lack of will. Judging by the numbers the Buffets must be winning most of the time. I guess it's like Las Vegas, everyone thinks they can beat the house. It was those damned scalloped potatoes, I didn't mean to fill up on them, but they were so good!

Did this thread get moved?

Every party needs a pooper that's why we invited you, party pooper...


How to do a vanity search:

To search to see if someone has mentioned you, go the the search function, hit advanced search and in the "keyword" space, type your name.

If you desire to find out if you are quoted, you have two options, you can either type *your name* or, as in the case of Image who has a name that also functions for any posted image, you type your name as it appears when quoted:
Image said:
would be Ms. Image.

Quite simple.

You came as close as Duluth and didn't call? You fucker. Only natives can steer you to the best all you can eat buffet values, ya know?

We also have a fair number of lakes, a lot of mosquitoes, and a truly astonishing number of drivers who believe that there is a "Right to merge" regardless of the speed or density of surrounding traffic. That's right, the propopents of the belief in this mythical right may, in fact, outnumber the people in MN who know it to be false.

What's worse, he missed the lovely gardens at Como and Normandale.

He would have fit right in.
 
It's no wonder I called him a fucker.

Would taltos do that?
Would silverlily?
Would MsMuffet?
Would bg23?

What sort of person would do that?

I think we all know, now, who REALLY needs the help, don't we?
 
Yes.

Though I don't know if you'd resort to professional assistance.
 
How can you tell?

How can you tell if somebody's a professional these days anyway? Because they take money? Because they have credentials printed out and posted on the wall in a frame? She seemed quite... well, let's say accomplished but who am I to judge if her amateur standing may or may not have been compromised? How would I know?

How would anybody?
 
LukkyKnight said:
Do you mean in that "sit on the shelf" sense, or more like the "trophy spouse" sense?
Either might have been an indicator.

Perhaps even a pool boy?
 
How do you mass produce trophy pool boys?

If there's such a thing as a trophy pool boy (and I'm not passing judgement on that likelihood, mind you, just covering a hypothetical situation here) if we could figure out how to mass-produce them we could make a fucking mint delivering them to ladies over on the GB.

I'm not sure Cheyenne or ksmybuttons would want one, I'm sure kbate wouldn't, but hypotethically I'm betting the following would fill out online order forms as soon as they learned of the availability of such a commodity:

Freya
Tristesse
1hotbabe
LittleOne
perks
honeylick
Silverlily
MsMuffet
Holly Delight
Tatiana
DejaNu
Keirena
Queersetti
tswyk
Summery
nitengale
Image
JinXed
MissTaken
SempreAngela
Cleopatra
someplace
Glamorilla
Celtic Princess
Olivianna
Ocean Goddess

...and I'm sure you can think of even more. The marketing potential is HUGE, O'dad, HUGE!
