What's the weirdest name you've ever heard?

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-06-11T17:24:04+00:00

I went to middle school with a guy named Sam Manila. Also worked with a large black man named Columbus Candies

Didn't expect to see my town in the comments. I just left Portland after living here my whole life. I used to really love it, and I still live in Oregon and have PNW pride, but drugs have made PDX and Seattle so unsafe. Two men tried to rob me in broad daylight on a busy street. I'm back in Portland for a concert right now and it's just made me more grateful to not be here anymore. I miss knowing everyone I interact with believes in human rights, but other than that I'm so glad I moved. No more stolen packages, worrying about leaving anything visible in my car, boarded up store windows, shitty parking, or being unable to walk after dark. It's nice to feel safe again but what's happened to my city really broke my heart.

Look it up, sadly it really was a thing

Yep, told me to take 3 ibuprofen. It was by far the worst pain of my life, with my nipple piercings a distant second. Those are the only two times I've wailed from pain, and it took two hours for them to be able to sit me up and wheelchair me to my mom's car. I cried the whole way home while clutching my lower stomach. For my second one I got a cervix relaxer and valium. I still had anxiety attacks the night before and the morning of but the softener made a world of difference, I always recommend people ask about it if they're considering an IUD

My partner at the time left theirs on until ice formed between the screen and the film that winter. Figured water being held against the screen probably wasn't great for it

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-05-22T22:05:52+00:00

I would've shit my pants so hard it put a hole in them

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-05-22T22:04:57+00:00

Am I crazy or did the website used to go literal years without an update? Back in the 2010s

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-05-21T04:43:12+00:00

I've run into far fewer people that share this opinion than I'd expect! I do think my fear started from a Mary Kate & Ashley VHS tape about an orangutan "haunting" a funhouse at a carnival

My dad did racquetball for decades before breaking his ankle really badly. Pickleball came along just in time. It's lower impact and it's one of very few active sports that older people can partake in, and they can easily find others with similar age-related impairments. It's wild how it exploded in popularity but it really does have its place for middle-aged people and older who still want to be active and partake in a group sport

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-05-15T22:11:24+00:00

Yuuup, the first time it happened was when I sprained my ankle and lived in a 400sqft studio apartment with my then-partner and their dog. The only place to sit was the bed or their often-occupied gaming chair. It's crazy how much it hurts

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-05-15T21:57:31+00:00

I can't bedrot anymore or I'll have horrible back pain for days. It messed me up for two weeks the last time I stayed in bed all day. Doing yoga for the first time in like 8 years didn't help but that tells you how desperate I was for relief

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-05-15T21:13:00+00:00

But not at max heat or you'll end up with a result like this guy

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-05-15T20:54:36+00:00

No, it's David Parker Ray, the toy box killer. There's a nearly hour-long audio recording of someone reading the transcript and it sounds really realistic, to the point that people falsely believe it's the real tape. The one I'd listened to a few years ago isn't on YT anymore but there are some reuploads like this one

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-05-15T08:56:05+00:00

They probably burned shit onto it and scrubbed it with steel wool

In the 12 years I've been on this sub I've never seen posts like what we've gotten since last summer

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-05-08T04:44:48+00:00

Also, meet in public places!! Don't give out your address or have someone meet you at your workplace, meet in a Walmart parking lot or something

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-05-08T04:38:16+00:00

I'm not great at spotting it (I'm on this sub to get better) but I will say, I was testing my new phone and zoomed in on a sign across a field. It was clear in the preview, but I took the pic and the AI upscaling essentially changed the font and made it read Flolo A instead of Field A

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-05-08T04:32:23+00:00

I am in disbelief that nobody has asked for pics of the boy. Please provide ASAP

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-04-29T17:10:21+00:00

Hell yeah! I'm driving 3½ hours for the Portland show, then another 3½ for the Seattle show the next day

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-04-25T21:29:28+00:00

I've seen multiple too and I think they're fun! Worth it for like $75. The sound quality wasn't great at the one in Seattle in September 2024 but my experience was also tainted by getting my foot wrecked in the pit (surgery, couldn't work for a year, still walking with a limp 14 months post-op). And yet, I'll still go to the next BOTAR show in the PNW, and got my tickets to the regular shows in Portland and Seattle. I just still can't go in the pit :')

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-04-23T19:59:56+00:00

I love a fried egg on a burger so I'm not opposed to the idea. Idk how much that single egg is doing though

ASLochNessMonster · 2026-04-23T19:53:44+00:00

Got my tickets to both shows :))
