Add me to the list of people who thought Dave Maynar was named Dave. I shouldn't have been shocked that was the case as billy is not my name.
Oh my fucking God, the inforoo universe, as I know it, is falling apart all round me. Y'all are pushing me to the edge of how much disappointment I can handle and I'm about to fucking lose it.
since my real name isn't actually Jack (or John or anything similar).
Wait. What?
Yepp. My brother suggested Jack as a name when Mum was pregnant, but my parents vetoed it - so he teased me relentlessly about my name for years, until I changed it out of sheer spite when I was 7 or 8. A few weeks later, he said he wouldn't tease me if I changed it back... a promise that lasted all of 2.81 seconds. Haven't gone back since, outside of a professional setting.

So, yeah. That's how stubborn I can be.
So you're telling me that your name isn't Jack? Seriously? I had to even check FB to see if I was totally making up what your name was.
People, we've moved from Inforoo names not being their real name to Facebook names not being their real names. I don't even know what is happening anymore.
If I remember correctly the original name was "MaynardAve" but everyone thought he was "Maynar Dave" and would just refer to him as Dave. I love shit like that. I've had countless people ask me if I actually train monkeys.
....... it wasn't until like, maybe 2 months ago? that I realized it wasn't "it rain monkeys" .........
Oh you're not alone. I have had that a bunch too. this has been posted in a few spots over the years:
I was too lazy to look up how to spel your name. I actually typed you out but couldn't remember if it was Caitlin or not and since it has been a hot topic I didn't want to fuck it up.
I also just wanted to say sausage fest.
wise choice. I really do hate hate hate when my name is spelled wrong.
actually, that reminds me - someone in this thread randomly said something about someone spelling their name wrong on facebook, when it was right below their name. I read it and was going to reply... anyway..
that shit ^ pisses me off so bad. I had this recruiter trying to get me to work with her when I was job hunting one time, and she spelled my name wrong, IN EVERY EMAIL. my email address is my fucking first and last name, how do you spell it wrong? so unprofessional. I ignored her emails after trying to politely decline working with her.
and for fun, best way starbucks ever spelled my name:
It was me. My name is Hilari. It rarely phases me anymore. I work for judges and I got an email from one yesterday addressed to Hilary. I didn't correct her.
The best was that one year, I got a Christmas present from my uncle, and the tag on it said Hiliarie. What the hell? In fairness, my uncle did not put my name on the tag. I guess a friend of his girlfriend at the time did, but still.
It's pretty awesome coming home from a long day to the smell of a perfectly cooked pot roast in a crock pot. I started it last night and let it cook on the lowest setting for 24 hours. That stuff just melts in your mouth; it's so tender and yummy.

You know what else is tender, yummy, and will melt in your mouth?

I'm running about of things to eat & I have at least 7 more days of no chewing. Ugh. Tonight I had refried beans & cheese.
Get dat blender out gurl!!!
But for real. I've had my mouth wired shut twice. It sucks having to eat the same stuff over and over. Make stew. Make your favorite soup. Blender it up and eat it like it's baby food.
So after I came home from work today I took a nap. I must have been tired, because I didn't realize I was even napping until I woke up. Shit was beautiful. But anyway. What woke me up was the sound of my roommate's bedspring's squeaking in the next room over. The guy she's banging has a big dick apparently so I ain't even mad. Girl better get it. Within minutes of waking I hear the familiar cadence of a quickening pace, followed by a whimper and sudden silence. The deed was done. Cool. BUT WITHIN SECONDS - and I mean literally less a minute after the semen left the penis - they start loudly debating the salary needed to raise a family in the U.S., and the degree of socioeconomic opportunity available to people who immigrate here. That's some A+ smart dick right there, so of course I immediately texted her telling her so. This may be one of the weirdest things I've ever woken up to.
Edit: And he sounds a little like Ernie from Sesame Street, so that made it even better.

I'm going to have to do that. Thought about it tonight as I was making the kids some pizza. Maybe smoothies of some sort too. I need to research it a little.

I was on all liquids for weeks after my surgery, so I feel your pain. I didn't think it would be a huge deal but you actually feel really wrong not chewing when you eat. I will tell you that your first meal off the restriction will be one of the best meals you have ever had. It's first shower after Bonnaroo good.
So you're telling me that your name isn't Jack? Seriously? I had to even check FB to see if I was totally making up what your name was.
I mean, what defines a "real" name? No, it isn't what my mama named me, and it isn't what's on my driver's license - but it is what I've called myself for 20 years, and it was a nickname since before I was born. It counts, dang it!
I looked into changing it legally a few years ago, but it's the biggest PITA imaginable - updated birth certificate, social security, passports, insurance cards, credit cards, employer references, medical records, etc... ain't nobody got time fo' dat.
And that's IF you're only including the numbered albums, but IV is the best of all their albums and II is the second best of all their albums, those are facts

People, we've moved from Inforoo names not being their real name to Facebook names not being their real names. I don't even know what is happening anymore.
In addition to fb and inforoo, I hate to tell you my Instagram isn't my real name either.

WHAT THE HELL GUYS! Can't we just appreciate the names our parents gave us! Cheese and rice people!
Jack played Brooklyn Bowl last night here in Las Vegas, and of course it was incredible. All band members were on point and every song had great energy. Though this was not the same energy from roo, or other performances ive seen with paricularly Ikey. He was truly missed last night by me, it hurt terribly to know parts of songs where Ikey had filled in going unplayed. The new keyboardist was great, and played well with everyone. But it became so clear what a dynamic force Ikey was to that band, to Jack and Daru last night. All good things must come to an end, but to lose someone so amazing and so crucial to your work and life halfway through a tour (or any journey) seems far too heavy a task for one person to hold. Any of those who feel the same sadness, for a lost loved one, whether it be Ikey or a family member or someone you may have never met, my heart goes out to you, I feel it too.
It was truly something amazing Jack shared with us last year and the farm and I am so damn happy I can share it with you. And to keep things on the happy track I will say I popped my White Castle cherry last night, 10 Sliders, 4 for me, 4 for my girl and 1 for my pup. The 10th one was not gonna happen. Shiz was good.

I just caught up with the last 24 hours of this thread, which was 11 pages. Then I furiously searched youtube for the appropriate Seinfeld clip, but it's not there. This has taken me the last hour. Instead, I'll post the script of the scene I wish I could find:
George: So, that's it. All of my darkest fears, and... everything I'm
capable of. That's me.
Jerry: Yikes. Well, good luck with all that.
George: Where you going? I-I thought I could count on you for a
I skipped over 10 pages, but went back to see the start of the names conversation.
There's a handful of people I refer to by their actual name rather than Inforoo name: Quacker, LLL, Bonz, RDK, and O'Neil are the most likely ones. I sometimes use the term "ChrisDave" to talk about Dave Maynar.
