Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
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!
Easy to say when your parents didn't give you a crappy name!
Actually, I don't hate the name itself so much as how it sounds with my last name. The vowel sounds go eee-urr uhh-urr, which grates on the ears (my mum has a similar complaint about her own name, so you'd think she'd be more sympathetic to that kind of thing ). My only peeve about the sound of my preferred name is that I now have to add in a glottal stop before my surname.
Sorry, just had a linguistics nerd-out moment there. Carry on.

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.
I don't really count. I am one of those real name is close to Inforoo name types. Bonz is a normal nickname for me- and it's a shorter version of my Inforoo name so it's practically the same. Plus my brother has been calling me Bonzai my whole life. In faaaaact, I would say 90+% of the people in my life call me by some sort of nickname- Bon, Bonz, Bon Bon, Bonnaroo, Bonzai, Bonzie, Bonzo, Bonnador Retriever.... Bon is an easy root. So really, if you call me Bonnie, you're the odd one out
wait.... what?!?!?!? Maybe in Cajun French, but real French it is pronounced more like... ... vyeh.. I don't know how to write it like this. I can write it in French phonetics!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

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.
Was it crowded? We've been talking about going down there, but weren't sure if we should give it a little longer to let the newness wear off.

If you're trying to figure out someone's real name, a good idea is to first check the "Another Lurker Introduces Him/Herself" thread. It's obviously not foolproof because not everyone posts there, but it's a good place to start.

Professional stalker over here, how's it going going Sherlock?
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
I think sleepy was referring to the fact that there is no Led Zeppelin V. Their fifth album is Houses of the Holy. Also, I don't think IV is unequivocally their best album. It's their "power" album, with probably the highest fraction of Led Zeppelin songs that receive significant radio play, but I would argue that II edges out IV for their best.

Haha, I just figured it was the most common-sense approach. But maybe that's because I listed my info that thread. And for the record, I think it's much less creepy than facebook-stalking (however acceptable that has become).

Yeah, I was attempting to continue the Zeppelin V joke but I guess I didn't make it clear enough, my bad. And I could certainly see you making the case for II being better than IV (I could be easily persuaded because I love them)

Grrrlll, ain't no real French up in Norlins. Its a play on the Vieux Carré (French Quarter), and its pronounced the same. Or the Krewe du Vieux (which ran last weekend). All I know is you say it like boo, but with a 'V'.. Voo or Vu.

It's so funny to see this and to hear dillycup talking about White Asshole like this. We've always had it here (I actually just found out that it was apparently founded here?) and it is not good. It's one of those places you only eat if you're shitfaced drunk. Seriously, no one chooses to go to White Asshole around here, you just end up there because it's cheap.
I will ill say though, their Chicken Rings are fantastic. It's the only thing I'll get and you can get a 20pc for like $8.99 here. And their honey mustard tastes like homemade honey mustard and is the stuff dreams are made of.

My thought is that it isn't even a Creole thing- just Americanization. But I'm not from your area, so I couldn't say for sure. FYI: Not arguing! I believe that is the way people say it. As a French major in college, I was immediately drawn to this haha.

Facebook stalking is creepy. It is NOT acceptable. I get it (sorta), but not really. My guy's ex-wife is all about the stalking and then throwing shit in faces. I don't even post very much or personal and my settings are pretty tight. It makes me hate facebook.
Ehhh. I don't really do it, but I don't care about Facebook stalking. If I am going to put something on the interwebz, I am willingly putting it out there for people to see. I have basic privacy to my account, but nothing nuts. It doesn't bother me.

This is why I left Facebook. There's just too much of a Stepford/Keeping Up with the Jones vibe for me. I had it all through college, and it was very freeing to just leave it behind and not have to bother with people that don't really care about me anyways. I also found who my true friends really are because they make the effort to see me in person instead of just liking or commenting on a status update.
As a bi-racial kiddo whenever I read things like this it always makes me go whoa.
Interracial marriage has only been [legal throughout the United States] since the late 1960s
Maybe it's because of where I grew up, but this isn't as shocking to me. When I was younger, I remember interracial couples being a big deal and only being talked about in hushed whispers. When we were in high school and my grandma caught wind that my sister was dating someone, she would always try to get info from me. The first question was usually "is he black?"

For me it's the opposite. Most of my friends are constantly posting about getting married, having babies, bitching about how they never get to do anything anymore or how they hate their job and all of these things make feel damn good about where I am. Single, kidless, do whatever the fuck I want, when I want to and even though I dislike my job they don't need to know that.
Ehhh. I don't really do it, but I don't care about Facebook stalking. If I am going to put something on the interwebz, I am willingly putting it out there for people to see. I have basic privacy to my account, but nothing nuts. It doesn't bother me.
But that is the point. I don't put stuff up there that is dirt worthy. At all. And my favorite is, I'll post that I am going to something, and she just ASSUMES he is too and try to use that against him. I honestly don't know how she sees stuff to begin with (and not losing sleep caring either), but its just annoying that she tries to use my life against him. I have never even met this person, it takes a special level of crazy to stalk and make accusations about a stranger due to their facebook posts. Once again, I don't post anything that I give a fuck about being out on the world wide web or that anyone could really use against me, its just an annoyance.
I agree with the "Keeping Up with the Joneses" vibe of Facebook, and I've considered deleting it several times, but I have too many friendships where FB is the only way I keep in contact with them. I don't think that makes those friendships less valuable - a lot of them are people who live far away and pick up right where we left off when we get together - but with life as hectic as it is, it's good to be reminded that there are people in your corner even if you don't see them often. Of course I have tons of FB friends that I could not speak to again and be just fine with that, but I don't mind it too much.
And FB stalking is much more difficult when you don't have an account, and I need to keep that in my arsenal. I don't creep hard and go through people's life history or anything like that, but I did find out that a girl I was talking to had a boyfriend, so I'm glad I was able to nip that in the bud before it got too far.
