reminiscing about irc

yes, i was one of those sad, dorky kids talking to perfect strangers in cyberspace. irc (or internet relay chat for the uninitiated) was a big thing when i was getting into the internet. it started from my sister's nus unix account (ahhh leonis!) when i was 15, and continued intermittently till i was about 21 and going through freshman year in college.

surfing across bash.org made me realize how fun things were back then, and made me cringe to see how little of a life i had. remember, the general rule on about people on irc seems to be "attractive, single, mentally stable: choose two"

here's a selection of some of the funnier conversations and quips floating around in chatrooms:

Primus521: hey dude the funniest thing happened to me today
Primus521: im at walmart and this chick is buying a box of tampons and they are missing the upc and wont ring up
Primus521: so the cashier tells his buddy to get a price check on tampax
Primus521: the dude looks at him and says, "the kind u push in, or the kind you hammer in?"
Primus521: lol
Primus521: turns out he misheard him
Primus521: he thought he said thumbtacks
Primus521: you should have seen the look on the chicks face
Primus521: omfg
Primus521: til the day i die
Primus521: i will never forget it
