Did you ever notice how easy it is to start a rumor on the internet... more specifically on this site?

A person can simply post some vague information... maybe put some fun stuff in their profile... maybe make simple references in posts without really saying anything... they can then sit back and see what happens!

It is quite fun!



Has anyone done this experiment? You know, creating a mystery and seeing how people react and what rumors might start?

Has this ever happened?

no..but i do recall that one time you admitted to being a hermaphrodite...


btw: did u decide on surgery? and which side to take?

No, I haven't done this but it sounds as if perhaps you have, Icy? Enlighten us to your shenanigans...

Im always the last to hear about things

LowDown said:

LowDown said:

The news would only be good for you if you stood even the slightest chance of scoring... which you don't. You can go ahead and check yourself into a home for the mentally challenged now.

we'll see.

LowDown said:

...and you thought that the Space Shuttle Challenger was a disaster...

NEVER let facts get in the way of a good rumor or a knee-jerk opinion. You can't even get a good rumor off the ground that way.

herbthe4 said:

Too true!

The facts should never even enter the fucking equation!

:LOL:

Lowdown are you a guy or a girl?

I cant tell if your hittin' on Ice or Tail (lol).

LowDown said:

I did not turn you down...I only suggested you tried to bowl a 65 or better and not go with the ball...Ya know into the pins but even if ya did, I am sure you would have still been fun and FUNNY!

Well, here's what I do: I form an opinion based on something I've read or heard somewhere - either a chat room or a chain e-mail - then i shoot off my mouth to anyone who will listen before verifying any of it or checking any sources regarding the accuracey of my information. After I've done that, and created a shitstorm of controversy, I selectively seek out and offer as evidence other unsabstantiated facts, heresay and innuendo that support the opinion and conclusion that I reached so hastily, lest I be accused of being wrong or otherwise labled an idiot and a liar.

This is The New Journalism, and boy does it make things easier. I can find websites that offer proof (some of it's even photographic!) of nearly any opinion or fact that I choose to express, so I just use them, combined with the e-mails I mentioned, to demonstrate to the internet world what a fucking genious I am and how fucked up everyone else is...especially famous people.
