Come on, some of us spend a lot of time here. There's no way our respective better halves haven't noticed yet.

Mrs Palmer gets plenty of exercise out of it.

Tolerated, a source of bemusement although nothing makes me feel like my life has become a grotesque, pygmified sham than starting a conversation "There was a thread on EA...".

It happens daily.

i'm pretty sure he thinks it's kind of dorky. i stopped prefacing sentences with "so i read on ea" or "today on ea" because, yeah, that's dorky alright.

he's tried posting on here a couple of times but overall is not that into computers and sort of a luddite. he still has to ask me how to turn off the computer. we sort of balance each other out in that way.

Oh man. Give me my wife back, please. Every time I start a sentence with, "so there was a poll about...", I figure she must love me a bit less. I mentioned to her that today marked three years after I signed up, she said, "Oh, so you've had your boyfriends for three years now? It's good to see you guys are still happy together."

Some of you she knows by name, and I don't need to say "kerble", I can just say "Faiz".

ditto. though it doesn't happen daily.

We kinda indirectly met through the PRF so...

Occasionally, (actually, more often than I'm comfortable admitting) a conversation will start with:

"Hey did you see that thread about..." or, "I saw what you posted in x thread..." or, "x or y, Crap or Not Crap."

Yes... we even play "Crap/Not Crap" together...

tommydski, you have made this lady's (and my) day.

Because of the size of our apt, my girlfriend and I both have our computers in our bedroom. We have to walk by mine as soon as we walk through the door, so anytime I am wasting time on the PRF and she walks in or out, she sees the logo and color scheme and knows. She KNOWS. This is to say nothing of how many conversations I start with the aforementioned prefaces.

I introduced this girl to Shellac a little more than a year ago, and brought her with me to the 4-day 6-show megafest this past December, so by now she is pretty well overloaded. She'd barely listened to two albums by Shellac before December, and now she can name songs within the first few seconds. Luckily, she doesn't hate me yet.

I suspect she thinks my participation in the forum is kind of silly, but only teases me about it in a good-natured way. Besides, she spends just as much time playing Warcraft, so who is she to talk! Ha!

I'd be scared to let a girl know about EA. Just out of fear of the day she says "So I was reading the embarrassing acts thread. You really had to walk into hospital with a toaster on the end of your dick?"



That never happened by the way.
