You can sit at your own table at just watch and then see who comes over to talk with you. With the Crispers meetings I went to there would be some people hopping from table to table to visit and others who would just talk with whoever was at their table.

There are some TOTVers I would not want to talk to at all but I am pretty sure they know who they are as would anyone who reads TOTV with regularity.

I'm not nearly as handsome in person.

:1rotfl:

Oh boy can I identify. Tomwed do you think everyone will use their real screen name or if they come off like a weasel most of the time do you thing they will change their identity? What say you? Chi33 had a very good point about the sourpuss type people. :oops:

The TOTV's meetings have never had huge attendance. I think a couple of times there were about 40 people, but most of the time it is about twenty. I have had get togethers inviting the TOTV bunch to our home three times and about forty would come.

At the regular meetings in the past, (at Crispers) many would give their real name to us, but on the name tags most would write their screen name as that is how other's would know them.

I probably will not go. I like the mystery of all this. But if I did go I would use my pen name, Bic. It sounds more macho.

Like the pen? You need to do better.

Scripto sounds too ethnic, mont blanc - a little suggestive, Cross - too religious, Sheiffer - reminds me of cheap beer, Papermate - too chummy, Waterford - I might as well put a kick me sign on my back

I like Bic. macho and easy to spell

BIC is probably better than Ball Point.

I was thinking more like Spike

That was the name of the dog in little rascals? or was that Butch's friend? nope---no googling ---Butch's friend was named Worm I think pronounced Woi-m

OK then how about Chuck? it could either be Chuck Norris or Peanuts or Roast.

Off by one letter. Not Bic, although that's pretty good how about Bif!

Neith one is good if you look up the Slang the youngins put to either name. Try Urban Dictionary. You will have a blast with that site. :o

Back to the Meet and Greet! When I was involved, it was on the 3rd Fri at 3:00, which wasn't a terrific time for me, but I really enjoyed the people I met when I was able to get there. I'm really hoping we can get this going. Just an FWI, there were only two of us the first time I went (in May or June). We might better try at one of our houses until fall (BYOB and snacks).

In high school where I taught I would occasionally ask a student "Hey, you know what my pen name is?" Scripto----I would start laughing before the student. And they would always say "
"that's corny, or that's stupid. And the only reason I'm laughing is because your laughing at your own dumb joke." That happened a lot. Google "Dad jokes." There's a lot of corny people out there.

The best (but really the worst) Dad Jokes to tell on Father's Day
