Anyone up for some Cornhole ?

The last group on there might be

HA!
I lawl'd.

My ex-husband is a Boba Fett fan boy...I suspect he's a member, but I'm too disinterested to check.

Is the latter the reason for the former? >_<

Not specifically. The fact that he wanted me to grow my hair out so that it could be cut off, dyed and braided into the wookie hair pelts on his perpetually-under-construction Boba Fett costume was perhaps a tad disturbing, but not a reason to leave him.

It was more the controlling, abusive behavior, small-minded narcissism and OCD habits that really turned me off.

Thanks Maven. You just short circuited several synapses in my brain with that little anecdote. *twitch*

Really?

Huh. That was one of the less bizarre things!

Today my friend told me about online communities of unmedicated schizophrenic people who encourage each other's belief that groups of people are out to get them. She's studying them for some project she's doing. I'll see if I can get a link to one of the sites.

Ooh, share the link when you get it.

"Odd"? NAMBLA? I think that's quite an understatement; the rest are mildly amusing for normal people; NAMBLA members need to be chemically castrated if they're trying to legitimise paedophilia. This is where free speech becomes offensive.

I wonder if a bunch of us started posting on there if the paranoia level would really skyrocket.

The sad thing is the number of sites that encourage some really unhealthy activities. Pro-ana sites, or the cutting sites.

It's probably just one guy with a few hundred personalities.

Is it just me or does geocaching sound really fun? (especially if there is a prize)

Well lets see..I thought Boba Fett was pretty cool looking back in the day, I'm currently not breeding with anyone, and I've flirted with a Canadian..so it's looks like I'm already a member of those 3 groups without even knowing it!

Concerning the last one, I really don't know how that group is even allowed to exist in public.

my roomate and i have done some geocaching, it is alot of fun. you take some prizes with you to leave, and come home with something crazy, usually.

Geocaching is extremely fun! When we go with kids, of course, it's "treasure hunting." Over the past couple of weekends, we tracked down a whole series of halloween-themed caches in our area. Frankly, I was sad to see it on this list, even though it's technically true that it'd be really hard, if not impossible, to do geocaching without the internet.

Anyway, once you've got a GPS device, it's essentially a free hobby, and it's cool to find the caches, which are generally hidden somewhere that they can be found without too much trouble, but ONLY if you already know to look for them. And they're everywhere - even in places like Times Square and Disney World! Once you get into it, you can even choose to place your own caches, but there's no obligation or pressure to do so.

There's something similar called "letterboxing," which doesn't use GPS. In that, you get a starting point, maybe an address or something, and then you follow instructions like your classic pirate treasure map. When you find the treasure, there's a log book, and everybody makes up their own custom stamp to stamp the book with.
