First Post		2002-04-16 10:22:38 AM

Brings others together at the same time tho...

nairbyelroc		2002-04-16 10:23:55 AM

I was close to the Boobies...that means a lot...

Oh and the internet has broken up three of my marriages...that's a lot if you think about it...even if it's completely untrue.

Duh.

"My wife of 10 years had an affair with a guy she met on the internet."

What is this sick bastard doing with a 10-year old wife?!?!?

"One in 10 people who go to Relate blamed the net for their rocky relationship"

Go to Relate? Is that like making whoopie?

nairbyelroc		2002-04-16 10:25:13 AM

That's pretty tricky...I wanted to type in first...posting...and it put in Boobies...that's funny Drew.

20/20		2002-04-16 10:26:43 AM

My best advice is to get a picture first. ALWAYS get a picture before putting too much time into somebody you've met on the internet.

frolixo		2002-04-16 10:27:27 AM

How much do I have to pay to get this TotalFark tag removed from my name?

SpaceMoose		2002-04-16 10:27:34 AM

Do you hear that married people?
Get off of Fark and go pay attention to your spouse! Unless of course, you'd rather be here... in which case, fark'em. Fark'em right in the ear.

BillDarryl		2002-04-16 10:28:10 AM

What are they doing in that picture? It looks like they just got married, and are celebrating with a saucepan.

zchamu		2002-04-16 10:28:54 AM

there's too many wierdos on the internet.

Ironbar		2002-04-16 10:29:25 AM

If I lived in the UK, I'd be online constantly, as a distraction from the horrible food and miserable weather.

Bennyhana		2002-04-16 10:29:54 AM

I spend a lot of time on the internet, and my relationship hasn't suffered at all. My girlfriend is very busy, so when she's not busy I know to get of the farking computer and go be with her while I can.

Boomslang		2002-04-16 10:30:42 AM

Recidivist		2002-04-16 10:30:44 AM

With this saucepan, I thee wed.

Skidnuts		2002-04-16 10:31:55 AM

There QUIT TOUCHING ME! are QUIT TOUCHING ME! no QUIT TOUCHING ME! weirdoes QUIT TOUCHING ME! on QUIT TOUCHING ME! the QUIT TOUCHING ME! Internet QUIT..TOUCHING..MEEEE!

I like cheese

rtreynor		2002-04-16 10:32:16 AM

Learned this tidbit from an aquaintence:
If you have, say, a separate email address from your wife, and you've given that email address out to somebody that you're schtupping on the side - don't make the "forgot my password" question something that the Mrs. would know.

ab4dd0n		2002-04-16 10:32:33 AM

Maybe she is marrying the saucepan, I mean, they ARE British.

Rosalea		2002-04-16 10:32:46 AM

I was half expecting a mention of how easy it is to break up with someone over the net too. No messy dinner, no having to see them cry. Just bam its over

Clarkins		2002-04-16 10:33:22 AM

seemyex.com has made a bundle off relationship breakups.

Use the internet at work and get it out of your system. Leaves you free for other things at home.

bass555		2002-04-16 10:33:30 AM

"..and this is where the food goes in.."

SLAYERSWINE		2002-04-16 10:34:11 AM

I don't know. I went to Adult Friend Finder one month and got hooked up with nymphos. Sex was very good.
What is this 'relationship' thing people are alluding to ?
Isn't that some submissive position ?

Wintermute		2002-04-16 10:34:30 AM

No, I didn't submit this for anyone who was wondering.

stubblyhead		2002-04-16 10:34:41 AM

hey! get your biatch ass in the kitchen and make me some pie!

Hytes Xian		2002-04-16 10:34:52 AM

I can relate! Brenda pulls this passive-aggressive shiat when I'm sitting here. I'll hear her sigh real loud and flop down on the bed. If I turn around and see that she's up by the pillows (very likely) I'll yell, "Get down!", and she'll jump down and grab a toy and chew on it, looking up at me all sad and stupid.

Skidnuts		2002-04-16 10:35:03 AM

Welcome to Digital Dumpsville, baby. Population: YOU

Kylie		2002-04-16 10:36:18 AM

How sad! Some take this internet stuff waaaaay too seriously!

MyrtleBeachDesigner		2002-04-16 10:36:55 AM

I have my cable modem in the bathroom so I never had to get off the net. Takin a shiat and chattin..wow...life is grand!

Andy_Rhett		2002-04-16 10:37:11 AM

Nah.

My SO and I are very intimate - we IM each other from across the room (her desk is just over there....)

I hear her typing, and occasionally we will touch each other...

Korzeniowski		2002-04-16 10:39:14 AM

I was ignoring my wife long before I had the internet.

BillDarryl		2002-04-16 10:39:18 AM

"Of course, as my wife, one of your jobs is to prepare my meals. Let's not waste any time - here's a pan, there's the stove, Daddy's hungry."

sikobabel		2002-04-16 10:39:20 AM

Skidnuts you beat me to it.

"P.S. I am gay"
"Homer, for the last time I'm not putting that in there!"

frolixo		2002-04-16 10:40:15 AM

The internet gave me crabs.

funkyfingerproductions		2002-04-16 10:41:19 AM

this has been an ongoing crybaby bit of crap for years. what gives?

Penguinista		2002-04-16 10:42:16 AM

Does whacking off to amateur porn = having an affair?

uh-oh.

BillDarryl		2002-04-16 10:42:59 AM

I wonder if Al Gore feels responsible for all this. Kinda like how Einstein felt after they nuked Hiroshima.

fish		2002-04-16 10:43:16 AM

anybody live in/near vermont? whats the weather there like lately?

Nutdip		2002-04-16 10:44:12 AM

Dudes...just get your wife a FARK account and invite her in. shiat worked for me. :-)

Fark on.

akazanar		2002-04-16 10:44:25 AM

Ah, this is crap. Still just comes down to the wife not putting out after marriage. The internet has just made it easier to find someone else to make you feel all warm and fuzzy...

SLAYERSWINE		2002-04-16 10:44:54 AM

I know someone who thought they were picking up a woman on a date. She turned out to be a ,gif file.
If she was a .jpg file it may have worked out.

Nutdip'sWife		2002-04-16 10:45:17 AM

Nutdip! Turn that God Damned thing off now and get in here!

Nutdip		2002-04-16 10:45:59 AM

Yes dear.

Sorry. I gotta, um..go to work or something.

See ya.

Omar_Sharif		2002-04-16 10:46:08 AM

SLAYERSWINE		2002-04-16 10:46:53 AM

Nutdip,
I hope you get some poon and not a dough roller pin to the head ! =+)

Hytes Xian		2002-04-16 10:47:15 AM
