  - This is not normal! -- nm - Mop Jun 25, 17:40 2

Markiplier just walked by. At Vidcon he couldn't go out in public for fear of causing a stampede. - Mop Jun 25, 12:13 19
- It's not like he's incognito (not that he could be, with that air). He's wearing a Vidcon tanktop. (P.S. He's got a hairy chest.) -- nm - Mop Jun 25, 12:25 11
  - He who? -- nm - David's iPad Jun 25, 12:27 10

        So, Markiplier is...a person? -- nm - David Jun 25, 13:43 3
        
        Yes. Like if you were famous, Jidady. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 13:52 2
        
        If? -- nm - David Jun 25, 14:09 1
        
        Sorry sorry...if is the conditional word used to indicate a future state that could happen, but is not currently happening. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 14:16
        
        I wonder how many times Cena's won that. -- nm - Tim Jun 25, 13:09
        
        , and he is the World's Most Influential Gamer. -- nm - Spawndroid Jun 25, 12:59 1
        
        One of these is beneficial -- one is sad. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 13:00
- I'm like 95% sure you're doing a bit. -- nm - Reagen Jun 25, 12:15 6
  - If Blue Cicada had a YouTube channel, I'd know who they are! -- nm - Mop Jun 25, 12:23 3
    - I doubt our subby is writing songs for or about little girls. -- nm - mud Jun 25, 12:40 2

Huh. Thomas Jefferson hosted the first iftar dinner at the White House in 1805. But the annual tradition only dates back to 1995. -- (link) - Mop Jun 25, 11:45
SNA, the 2nd best airport I've ever traveled through. Just a few minutes through security, and I've already had my requisite McDonald's meal. -- nm - Mop Jun 25, 11:34 6
- Important question: Is it the same McDonald's meal every time, like a good luck charm? -- nm - Shardik the Baron Jun 25, 12:23 4
  - I hope it's not something like that. But I do have a handful of go-to things at McDonald's. - Mop Jun 25, 12:24 3
    - Alternatively, it could be one of those super-genius quirks like wearing the same outfit everyday. :) -- nm - Shardik the Baron Jun 25, 12:28 2
      - I'd have to be a super-genius first. Or a cartoon character. -- nm - Mop Jun 25, 12:30 1
        
        Dress for the job you want -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 25, 13:47

One of those Microsoft Xbox gaming teams is here at the terminal and they're as douche-y as you would expect. -- nm - Mop Jun 25, 11:30 2

I bet he's humming Flight of the Valkyries to himself. -- (link*) - Reagen Jun 25, 11:25 [Image]
Dating in a rural area sucks! - Mop Jun 25, 10:32 17
- I would think more people in the city use aps than in the country, yet country folks are more likely to need such aps because nosy neighbors but... - zeitgeist Jun 25, 14:30
- I had more ladies available than time and money to date them. -- nm - Bacon Jun 25, 12:04 2
  - That's horrible! -- nm - Mop Jun 25, 12:10 1
    - I started out dating at nice restaurants, but then I was poor and everyone got Chevys. - Bacon Jun 25, 12:28
- Option 3 is move - ty97 Jun 25, 10:59 11
  - mail order Russian Brides is no longer an option? :((( -- nm - peglegpete Jun 25, 11:53 2
    - That hasn't been a thing in almost 20 years, now it's only Ukraine and or jews. -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 25, 13:41
    - Only if they look like Nicole Kidman. -- nm - Mop Jun 25, 12:04
  - Even if kids were not a factor, job is. -- nm - Mop Jun 25, 11:33 6
    - Surely it would be possible to get a uni job at a different uni -- nm - Karl_S Jun 25, 15:35
    - When I am famous at Vidcon I will hire you as my editor. Move to PDX -- nm - Bacon Jun 25, 12:07 4

        Okay, you will be in charge of giving me talent -- nm - Bacon Jun 25, 12:42 2
        
        And I will be your Prospect Agent. -- nm - Spawndroid Jun 25, 12:48 1
        
        I found my life prospect, toss any future prospects to Mop -- nm - Bacon Jun 25, 12:49

Here's your taste of crazy this morning: Poppy Reacts to Kids React to Poppy. -- (link) - Mop Jun 25, 10:01 [youtube] 17
- I wanna see kids react to Puddles Pity Party. -- nm - Shardik the Baron Jun 25, 12:24
- What is a Poppy? - Amoxy Jun 25, 10:24 14
  - Poppy just wants to make videos. -- nm - Remlik Jun 25, 10:27 9
    - Poppy likes posting videos on the internet. -- nm - Qale Jun 25, 11:16 7
      - There's another angle here besides the pseudo-horror bit. According to Wikipedia she's 16 and she's highly sexualized in some of those videos. -- (edited) - Mop Jun 25, 11:36 6
        
        But that is completely wrong. She was on the internet as Moriah Poppy Way before this. The girl is 21 at least. -- nm - Spawndroid Jun 25, 13:59 3
        
        22, according to the Poppy wikia. -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 17:49
        
        Well, that is a bit reassuring. Her behavior certainly suggests a maturity beyond a 16-year-old. -- nm - Mop Jun 25, 15:18 1
        
        If you google the guy that directs her stuff you will see his former band had a lot of the same message she has. -- nm - Spawndroid Jun 25, 15:47
        
        But that's what I like about her. She's disturbing without actually doing anything disturbing. -- nm - Qale Jun 25, 11:50 1
        
        She's Ivanka with merely millions not billions, a sculpted human barbie with as much makeup on as clothes -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 25, 13:46
    - Everybody wants to be Poppy. -- nm - Mop Jun 25, 10:32
  - EXACTLY! - Mop Jun 25, 10:27 3
    - Then why did you post this? U -- nm - Amoxy Jun 25, 10:53 2
      - Because I'm not the only one who should have nightmares! -- nm - Mop Jun 25, 10:54 1
        
        Poppy doesn't have nightmares. -- nm - Remlik Jun 25, 11:09
- There's one more level of reaction inception as kids react to Poppy's reaction. -- (link) - Mop Jun 25, 10:02 [youtube]
