Fortnite was popular because it was free and you got free dance lessons. If I had Fortnite when I was in junior high, I wouldn’t have stood in the corner at the 8th grade formal afraid to ask the sassy @bethorien-like girl if she wanted to throw shapes.
@aviva Don’t worry. I wouldn’t eat you unless you were bringing treats to your grandmother. You’re safe. For now.
@t__v__t In case you didn’t know, @bethorien is my sworn mortal enemy (and favorite little miss sassy pants, but that’s another story). Anyway, I’ve noticed that she’s been much less sassy pantsy lately. So, I thought I would try - emphasis on try - being nice to her for once just in case something’s going on. It pained me tremendously. But I managed to do it. So don’t read too much into this. I’m still a wolf waiting for just the right moment to pounce.
AHHHHHHH ok. Well shit! I was all excited an such. But I’m gonna keep an open mind an keep my fingers crossed that there’s a micro bit of hope for SOMETHING GOOD to come out of this!
@bethorien Yay! I‘m a loved friend! :)
@granlobomalo It took me a while to get that reference. You don‘t have to worry about me taking treats to her. I don‘t see her very often. When I do, I‘ll make sure to bribe you first.
@t__v__t Don‘t scatter my secret plans! I‘m already shipping @Xvarnah and @Granlobomalo together. They would be an adorable pair lol
Now now, @aviva. I adore @xvarnah and @guest_ equally. It’s just that - on occassion - I might just happen to adore one of them more equally than the other.
@granlobomalo But...but you didn‘t ask any of them to be your valentine? Wait, where am I in all of this? lol. And don‘t let Xvar friendzone you. She‘s afraid of love. You can ask Stanley.
@jasonmon Fabulous bears are awesome.
@xvarnah You can. I could get a hair growth formula for you. I‘m sure Granbo doesn‘t mind. I thought @guest_ would step in and ‘scold‘ us by now lol
Oh. My. Goodness. You leave FS for a couple of hours to get the whiskers trimmed and come back to absolute hilarity. I’m grinning ear to ear. @xvarnah is correct. ‘Technically’ I’m a Wolf, which is a subcategory of Bears (depending on which animal kingdom you’re considering!). Urban Dictionary numbers 2, 4, 7 and 11 are pretty good descriptions of a Wolf. Except for the parts about being young and handsome which don’t apply in my case, LOL: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Wolf
@aviva Where are you? You’re in the middle of all of this. Balanced. As everything should be.
@jasonmon The meme arose because your fabulousness was contagious. Grown adulting is hard, isn’t it?
@xvarnah@bethorien The ‘enjoys the company of women’ line in the UD definition was probably referring to you two.
@guest_ I V-Day bromance you with all of my ‘nah mate I work out too and was just complimenting you on your sick gains, 100% just mutual respect bro’ self. Hope you and the missus had a good one.
@Xvarnah That‘s what he wants us to think.
@Granlobomalo You have whiskers!? lol. May I touch them PLEASE? Since ‘young and handsome‘ apply to you, then you‘re ‘emosdanh dna gnuoy,‘ there! Recieve my gibberish! Will you kill me tho? Thanos wasn‘t a very good person. He may have ended world hunger by. snapping his fingers, but still
@aviva. ME BAD SIS ME BAD!! An daaaaaagggn I didn’t know it would erupt this much! You know @granlobomalo it’s lookin like ya got some big names gunning for ya! That’s awesome!!
@t__v__t And erupt it did, you wonderful troublemaker!
@aviva ‘Whiskers’ are just the beard. Yes, you can touch (random strangers do so of course why not you?). No, I would never kill you! Thanos had a vision for good ends but used questionable means. I was stumblingly saying that you brought good ends to this and other conversations. Keep being amazing you.
@everybody I’m taking a break for a few days. Time to get out of town. But I just reread this thread and it rewarmed my heart. See you soon.
Haha, this is a pretty entertaining thread.
,
@granlobomalo I'm growing my beard out again and I forgot that random people will start coming up and touching it when it gets epic.. Anyway, enjoy your vacation!
,
@t__v__t, congrats on the star!
@granlobomalo well I did get taught by the best @aviva! @jasonmon ummmm thank you?!?!? How or why did I get one of them? I’m not gonna haft to pay a monthly fee am I? Cause my uncle is gonna be pissed if I got myself into some crap again!
Well I would believe ya if I didn’t look it up!! Sooooo..... HA!!! But I kinda did a very dumb move awhile back. I signed up at this website where ya needed to put in a credit card to “join” well my ever so smart self said I’ll just use the card my dad gave me for emergency’s an I just won’t buy anything. Well I’m sure y’all know how that turned out! My dad ended up payin over $360 for some kind of fees an then a deactivation fee too. Sooooooo... card gone, trust from dad gone, for couple days, an allowance *poof* chores for 6 months free. But pops still snuck me some bills in when I batted my eyes at him! He was “wrapped around my finger”, my uncle said. I miss him soo much!! But life goes on so I must too!!
Anyone with a star has to pay @bethorien $40/month. It's totally worth it, though!
,
Lol, no you're good. A star just means you're in the top 20 most upvoted posters or commenters in the last week. You can check everyone's numbers in the "Top" section in the banner. silvermyth calls it the "Who's famous today?" section.
@jasonmon I misread that last bit as "top 20 most upvoted commuters." Also @granlobomalo are you guys seriously telling me people just come up and randomly touch your beards??
'
@granlobomalo urban dictionary is always a wild ride haha. so you're saying you're not handsome or young but you are muscular and predatorial? Should we be scared? Cause you don't seem very dangerous so far, but then again I haven't tried to pick a fight with you at school. Additionally, I looked up otters (I thought perhaps Bethorien and I might be ones). I can safely say we're not, but there's a definite lack of them it seems. You must be more of the "lone wolf" type!
'
The insanity will always continue until moral improves. I hope you enjoy your few days off!
@xvarnah Yep, people can be crazy around big, well-kept beards (<-geez, my autocorrect switched that to breasts at first, which might be true but it's a different conversation.) Guys will typically exchange info on oils, waxes, and brushes they use and then end with a high five for their bearded brother.
,
Girls, especially slightly drunk girls, have no shame. They just run up and grab it and run their fingers through it or yank on it. It happens all the time, especially when I'm at the restaurant where I sometimes work. I think I now know what pregnant ladies feel like when people touch their stomachs.
@Granlobomalo I see you‘ve met my unbiological lil sis(t__v__t). Be careful though, she‘s known to destory big bad wolfs lol. I knew you were referring to your beard, Beardy! ^·^ I can‘t tell if frequent touching of your beard irritates you. Usually, a few people ask if they could feel my hands. I‘m told they are soft and pretty like a baby‘s. For a while I found it odd, but my lil cousin says she wants hands like mine. Also, I thought you did not want to talk to me some time back. And thank you! Have fun on your trip! :)
@T__v__t Really?...uhm...I mean, of course! I‘m highly skilled. I hope you still remember all I‘ve taught you, my student?
@Bethorien I owe you no money, love. The $40 I have on me is to get the wolf something for his hair problems.
@Xvarnah You missed your chance! Now he‘s gone! lol
@Jasonmon Beards are awesome.
@jasonmon autocorrect is sneaky. You have to keep an eye on it at all times (which is fail to do). But on that note, I've actually had a woman pet my breast once. She was reaching for my shoulder and just... missed. And didn't realize for a second. I didn't know what to say. It was a bit awkward haha.
'
So beards are the equivalent of hair to men (which is weird to say because bears ARE hair, but yet you know what I mean). I know (and have a lot of experience) with people just randomly petting hair, but when it's attached to a face I'd have expected people to show a bit more discretion I guess? But that's really uncomfortable. If I had a beard and some random person started yanking on it I think I'd be incited to violence in short order
'
@aviva this just means no one is guarding guest_
@t__v__t Welcome to the blue star club! The entire site is glad you’re here. We’ve been waiting for you with open arms. You’ve earned it!
@aviva People often ask to touch my beard. Or stroke my chest fur (among other things!). I guess you could say I’m a ‘wolf daddy’ in my community. As such, I do a lot of fundraising with my shirt off. Random strangers touch me a lot. It’s hard to deal with as an introvert. But I put up with it. It’s for a good cause, LOL.
@xvarnah I like you because you seem like a fair, good person who fights for what’s right. I really admire you. You just seem kind. I see that you’ve been posting pics and memes daily to keep this site alive. You hustle for what matters to you. By me, it has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated.
@bethorien Alright, alright. I don’t hate you, you stunning bitch. I actually really like you. I’m a gigantic human and people usually don’t stand up to me. But you have. Maybe a bit too often for my tastes. I’ll always respect that about you. I love it when girls don’t take crap from bossy boys. You seem to have lost your ‘sassy pantsness’ in recent days. But don’t ever lose that strong woman part of yourself. It makes me smile.
@jasonmon Truth be told, some days on FS are a battle for me to stay. I love this site and the people on it. But sometimes it just makes me feel OLD. I’m guessing we’re around the same age. I’m at the point where I’m deciding where will be ‘home home.’ You live in VI so I think you know what I mean. I’m glad you’re on here because it makes me feel less ‘weird and alone.’ Sorry to dump this on you. Weird loner stuff to say, amirite?
@guest_ I really do wish I could meet a thoughtful man like you who makes me say ‘hmm, I’d never thought about it like that before.’ He’s out there. I just wish he would stop being so damn elusive, ha ha! Someday...
@everybody I’m not quitting FS. I’m just going to take a break for a bit. I’m also _excruciatingly_ day drunk lounging by a pool looking at a mountain with a blue sky in February and thinking, yep, this is probably it. I had some things that I wanted to express. Let’s see if I regret delete this tomorrow. Probably will, LOL.
love you @granlobomalo
have a nice break i guess? Ive been sick 3 times in 2019 so that's probably partially why ive lost my "sassy pantsness"
we'll still be here when you get back ready to welcome you with hugs
Thanks for all the nice input for everyone, vacation-mode-lobo! :D
,
I'm introverted as well and don't love the attention when people grab at my facial hair. As for age, I think we're both dialed in to the sense of humor that this site encourages - the dark, millennial edge that cracks me up so much. Everyone I hang out with irl tends to be ten or twenty years younger than me because that's just the demographic in the VI, so it's exactly how we all communicate. I think that's why I'm comfortable here with these crazy younglings haha Definitely stick around! I wouldn't want to be the ONLY salt and pepper representation on funsub.
See, @granlobomalo you can't just throw out mushy feel-good comments directed at me like that when I'm unprepared! I was expecting more sassy/humorous content and instead you just ninja in like that
'
In seriousness, I'm not sure what inspired you to say it, but that was a very lovely comment to read. I'm not sure I'm even deserving of it, but it's lovely to know that's the impression I've left you with. Tbh (because now we officially must engage in a compliment stand-off) I'm a bit envious of your ability to observe people and put your observations into words like this. You always seem to find something positive to say to help lift the people in this community up-- and you take the time to say it, include so many, and still be sincere. That's honestly a rare and beautiful thing in this world these days.
'
As a side note-- you're a better person than I am for letting random strangers touch your chest (there's a sentence I never thought I'd say). I'm actually also decently introverted
(Hard to tell on this website), and letting people I KNOW touch me for extended period of time can make me uncomfortable. I can't imagine doing it with strangers haha. As a side note-- "I do a lot of fundraising with my shirt off" makes you sound a bit like a stripper
'
I do hope you enjoy your vacation. And I'm glad you're not quitting FunSub just yet. I don't really know what the age ranges are on this website (never paid attention) but you never came across as particularly over the hill to me. But then again, as mentioned, I'm extremely unobservant. Either way, I promise that I at least will never attempt to stroke your beard or chest hair should you choose to stick around, so that at least should be somewhat comforting
@Granlobomalo Stroke your chest fur? <_< >_> lol. Is the shirtless thing because your hair want to be popular or your biceps? If it‘s the biceps, I bet you my invisible biceps are bigger than yours. Since you‘re an introvert, it‘s my pleasure to bother you with my many stories haha ^^ On a serious note, if you leave me behind, I‘ll...I‘ll shave your hair or never forgive you. I love you.
@Bethorien You‘re an awesome person. I had no idea you were sick. *Becomes a doctor* *pulls out syringe* Get better soon, so I can drive you crazy. *hugs*
@Xvarnah I TOLD YOU!!! lol
@jasonmon I think this is the end for me on FS. Will lurk as an @guest. Thank you for making me feel like us ‘old guys’ are not alone. I truly enjoyed your company.
@guest_ I really wish I could find someone like you. You made me think. I would be honored to find a man like you. I know he’s out there. Raised right wing Republican conservative Christian, believe it or not. Please tell God to send him my way.
@channel I love you all.
@xvarnah@bethorien@aviva Be strong women. You have my heart. Big wolf howls and kisses. Woof!
Hang in there, @granlobomalo! Life has its ups and downs, but you rock. Change is always wild, but if I got through my insane 2018, you can get through your 2019 :p
,
Palm Springs sounds like an awesome time (better than FTL, no offense.) I have friends who go there every summer and they have been getting insistent about me visiting them, so I'll probably end up popping in there this summer or next summer to check it out myself.
,
And if I'm not old (which I'm not..), then you're not old either, so yay for us! And you know you can pop in and lean on this community *whenever* you need to. Loner stuff is no fun - we have your back.
@Granlobomalo I feel I don‘t know something that every other person here appears to know. Did I miss something? Now I want to cry. How come you don‘t want to be Granbo anymore? I have so many questions, but I really don‘t want to come off as insensitive. I had no idea I‘ll see this day this soon. I do hope whatever it is, it get dealt with really soon and you have all the strength and every good thing you need. There‘s probably nothing I can say to make you stay since you‘ve already made up your mind. I don‘t understand why you feel you have to leave(I hope the didn‘t come out as rude or in a wrong way). Now who‘s gonna call weird numbers off memes or make fun of random things now? :‘( My love to you. And I really really really pray your life gets amazing soon. I‘m already missing you. And I have never seen you as old. *hugs* @Jasonmon Did I miss something?
@aviva I feel like I also missed something with these last string of comments. I thought this absence was going to be temporary, but with the last comment now I'm not so sure..
@xvarnah For a bit, I thought Granbo felt he was “too old“ to be on here, or he‘s going through something that he doesn‘t really want to talk about on here. I wish I knew what it was
@granlobomalo- someday your prince will come. Until then- I hope to be a fair cyber stand in. I’m old too- but old enough that I know you’re never too old. I might not get every meme, and when someone posts a “remember this from your childhood....” of something you were out of college for already, I always chuckle and scoff a bit. The world needs old folks. These kids will set the stage for where we are going as a society, but they weren’t alive to see where we’ve already been. There is much we can teach each other, and if us old farts sequester ourselves to our peer groups we deny them the perspective we offer and deny ourselves what they can show us. We become time capsules living in a sealed bubble of a past that’s just a shared memory. So please don’t be down GLM- the world keeps turning and we’ve made it through worse. You’ve got this.
Hey, guys. Just a short note to check in and apologize for my ‘a few cocktails too many’ messaging last weekend. I definitely overshared a few details about my personal life that I don’t think were appropriate for this group. But I did want to confirm that I’m taking an indefinite pause on FS. It’s been fun commenting for a bit, something I’d always wanted to do as a lurker for 5 or so years. FS got me through some dark, dismal times. Now, I think I just want to kick back and watch for awhile. Nothing personal. And who knows, I may come back someday. Not trying to be dramatic or self-centered. I just feel like it’s time to take an extended break and start a new chapter somewhere new. I do love everyone on this site, whether mentioned above or not. Keep making this place special. Big hairy wolf hugs to everyone. You’re all always on my mind!
@granlobomalo To be fair, I had no idea you were “drunk.“ I‘m sure none of us were offended by any of it. And I hope you have an amazing break. I‘m sorry I did not notice you were going through something. I can tell you do not want to talk about it, but I do hope that whatever it is, you get through it like a badass. I‘ll never forget you even if you never come back. I love you too. Have a beautiful day! *hugs*
Thanks for checking in with us, @granlobomalo! You already know this, but I want to say it anyways: we love you and you're always welcome here, if it's just to joke around with us or if you need someone to lean on. Have a good one, my friend!
@aviva I’m not accepting your request to connect because you’re a teenage girl. With that said, you gave me hope for the next generation. Even though I’m a ‘wizened’ gay man, I don’t feel comfortable talking to you outside of FS. PLEASE know that it is truly nothing personal. But you have my hope. And my heart. Same goes for you @bethorien. I’d love to have a 3-hour martini lunch with you and gossip about that perfect bitch @xvarnah (who I love) behind her back. But, hey, that’s life. Truth be told, I think you’re both a rare find. Something special. @jasonmon@guest_ This is it, my brothers. Last comment for now to close the loop. You made me feel not so lonely and alone. Powerful stuff. You don’t know how much I appreciated it. Welp, off to tell my contractor how to remodel my kitchen and baths - and think about how my second half of life should look like. I’m thinking Bay Area + Virgin Islands flair is just the right combination to do it.
I love all of you. Signing off.
@Granlobomalo It didn‘t have my personal contact or anything like that. I was just wishing you the best. I forgot the other person has to accept before I tapped the send button and I couldn‘t take it back lol
I just realized I never responded besides in my head.
'
I'm really sorry to hear that you're, first of all uncomfortable over anything you said (admittedly what you said was more than I was anticipating based on what proceeded it, but I thought it was far from oversharing or unwarranted. You said some very lovely, heart-warming things, as you always seem to, and I hope you don't dwell or regret on any of it.
'
Second of all that you are, in fact, reverting to the status of part-time lurker. I'm hoping it's nothing that happened here personally, and whatever is going on that you don't feel like you have to go through it alone. But I also know what it feels like to need to withdraw so I'm trying to respect that (and not set up a picket outside your house until you change your mind).
As a side note-- I hope your age thing isn't a huge bother to you. As I expressed to jasonmon and Aviva at some point I genuinely never had any idea how old you were. I mean, technically I still don't, but you know what I mean. You seemed a bit more mature to me, but that is more in attitude, in that you never seemed to rise to taunts or lash and always seemed to put thought into your answers. I feel I've scuppered this up a bit, but my point was something along the lines of: whatever your age, it never made you seem out of place to me.
'
I hope your renovations go as you plan at the very least, and that wherever you end up is lovely. And I'm hoping you DO check in once in awhile, even If you don't say anything. Just to make sure we're all staying in line, and hopefully give us a chance to make you smile again.
'
You have been such an uplifting part of this community, always having something positive or insightful to add, and if the comments here weren't enough to show it, you should
--know the comment character limit shows up at the worst times, every time. And also, more importantly, that you're going to be missed. And know every person that made you feel less lonely, I guarantee you gave back just as much as you feel you've gained.
'
I dearly hope to see you come back some time to update us, but if not I hope you get everything you're hoping for (including a fabulous beard). In return I just ask for a transcript of that martini lunch you're planning
'
I feel like I've rambled on now and said too much and not enough. Which is about normal for me I guess, but it only gets worse when those troublesome *emotion* things start getting involved, which you always seem to be trying (& succeeding) to drag out of me
'
Take care of yourself; whatever you're going through you're strong enough to make it through, and if you ever feel you're not you've built yourself a lovely little wolfpack here who are more than willing to help remind you just how wonderful a person you are
@granlobomalo Goodbye my friend. Again, you're always welcome back to the family here and if you're ever in St. John, VI, look me up! Just ask for Jason the computer guy and everyone will point you in my direction. We'll drink some top shelf whisky and trade stories.
@t__v__t In case you didn’t know, @bethorien is my sworn mortal enemy (and favorite little miss sassy pants, but that’s another story).

@guest_ I really wish I could find someone like you. You made me think. I would be honored to find a man like you. I know he’s out there. Raised right wing Republican conservative Christian, believe it or not. Please tell God to send him my way.
@channel I love you all.
@xvarnah @bethorien @aviva Be strong women. You have my heart. Big wolf howls and kisses. Woof!

Palm Springs sounds like an awesome time (better than FTL, no offense.) I have friends who go there every summer and they have been getting insistent about me visiting them, so I'll probably end up popping in there this summer or next summer to check it out myself.
,
And if I'm not old (which I'm not..), then you're not old either, so yay for us! And you know you can pop in and lean on this community *whenever* you need to. Loner stuff is no fun - we have your back.
Love you fren, *hugs*
I love all of you. Signing off.

I'm really sorry to hear that you're, first of all uncomfortable over anything you said (admittedly what you said was more than I was anticipating based on what proceeded it, but I thought it was far from oversharing or unwarranted. You said some very lovely, heart-warming things, as you always seem to, and I hope you don't dwell or regret on any of it.
'
Second of all that you are, in fact, reverting to the status of part-time lurker. I'm hoping it's nothing that happened here personally, and whatever is going on that you don't feel like you have to go through it alone. But I also know what it feels like to need to withdraw so I'm trying to respect that (and not set up a picket outside your house until you change your mind).
'
I hope your renovations go as you plan at the very least, and that wherever you end up is lovely. And I'm hoping you DO check in once in awhile, even If you don't say anything. Just to make sure we're all staying in line, and hopefully give us a chance to make you smile again.

You have been such an uplifting part of this community, always having something positive or insightful to add, and if the comments here weren't enough to show it, you should
'
I dearly hope to see you come back some time to update us, but if not I hope you get everything you're hoping for (including a fabulous beard). In return I just ask for a transcript of that martini lunch you're planning
'
I feel like I've rambled on now and said too much and not enough. Which is about normal for me I guess, but it only gets worse when those troublesome *emotion* things start getting involved, which you always seem to be trying (& succeeding) to drag out of me

Take care of yourself; whatever you're going through you're strong enough to make it through, and if you ever feel you're not you've built yourself a lovely little wolfpack here who are more than willing to help remind you just how wonderful a person you are
