Since this thing seems to be over, can anyone tell me what's actually happening in the gif, because I haven't watched The Office?

Dwight (wearing glasses) was going behind Michael's back and trying to take his job. Michael finds out and makes him suffer. Been a while since that episode, but i think that's what happens.

but yeah that's the gist of it.

Under normal circumstances, sure. But to come clean on an internet forum, a platform where it's easy to put up a facade, and then come out to meet the same people for drinks for the weekend does takes some guts. All I'm saying is that I'm not a pathological liar but if I was, I wouldn't show my face and find another forum to post.

Agreed. I mean what were people expecting him to do? Have a complete melt down and deny the whole thing? He does have a ton of guts for lying in a place where people are anonymous for the most part as well as show up to the meet ups. But that doesn't mean we should ostracize him for it and tell him to get lost in light of this incident. I mean we all make mistakes and we all have our flaws otherwise we wouldn't be human. If he still wants to come, then I have no objections to it. Heck, RawNuts doesn't think this should stop him from showing up over this little incident. I don't know if this has changed your opinion of him.

Again, everyone agrees that what he did was completely disrespectful. I don't know if he's deceived us at the meet ups. Everyone assumes that what people post on the internet about themselves is the truth (also what they say in person). But again, that doesn't change my opinion of him despite the fact that yes, he has lost some of his credibility among our group and that people will take what he says with a grain of salt.

Usually people who get called out on a lie like this will either:
-disappear from the thread (alphanoid)
-confabulate further (jbaird)
-go off on a massive rage-fueled meltdown that involves threats of physical violence, mocking the person who called them out, insulting the whole forum for being so easy to fool, finally culminating in a vaguely self-congratulatory paragraph about how they'll be back with a new name and a new lie and you'll never see it coming bwahaha (angelsoldier, to some extent kitsune)

Actually owning it without raging is pretty rare, the only other example I remember is serafitia.

I've only been around GAF for four years as a member but I've seen a couple of these old meltdown threads; particularly the ones where people have multiple accounts and lie about it on both accounts until they're cornered and explode. Also the Mod abuse stories. It's funny how many people say they'll have their revenge. Then they pop on the Facebook GAF group to vent their frustration for being banned, try to start some kind of discussion, or wish they could come back like some sort of quasi-purgatory.

I was afraid that this was going to be another case of where someone has a meltdown and the people in question got banned once the dust settled. So I was pretty surprised myself when I saw that it was handled pretty well by both sides which deserves a huge amount of commendation.
 
Oh god I read every page. Sunhi delivering as always in this glorious thread. There really should be some comprehensive way of saving these bizarre threads.

Don't get too excited; it wasn't even in the same ballpark as the others. More of a Joe the Plumber-style politically motivated lie. He used to post in political threads about his father/uncle/brother (depending on the thread) who took a $100k+ pay cut to stay in a lower tax bracket, thus netting more take-home pay because tax brackets are evil, man.

When he got called out on the obvious lie (tax brackets don't work like that), he vanished. To this day, you can get him to instantly do a disappearing act from a political thread by asking if he's figured out tax brackets yet.

It was the first example that came to mind, though it's a little unfair since it's a much lower-level lie than the others.

Interesting, i notice alpha does a disappearing act on the gaming side a lot as well.

Actually, I kind of put him in a rather compromising position and he was aware of it. He could have ignored it and suffered shame as well as being labeled a pussy, owned up to it and suffered a lesser amount of shame, or he could have lied about it and claim that those remarks were actually true, in which case he would be kicked out of his apartment which would have really put him in a tough position.
Given the choices, he went the most logical route which I fully expected.

The way his response went, it reminded me of back in the day when we were friends. He was really a cool guy, but I suppose that being infatuated with a woman can bring out the worst in men if they don't get what they want. He was fully aware of what he did and seemed truly apologetic; what he did really fucked me up for a while and even made me doubt the woman I love, but I can't continue to hold it against him anymore. I would hate to think that he'll stop hanging out with you guys at meetups because of this; he deserves to have his balls busted about it, but in a more friendly manner.

The best part of angelsoldier was the halo novel sign off.
 
The most disturbing part of this ENTIRE affair is that Houston3000 was 40 minutes late for work because he wanted to post.

The pimp smack laid down in this thread is on another level!

+1 million points to the post of, "House we got a problem!"

Died laughing at work. xD

Tomorrow; right now it's warming up so patience people. We'll be making updates to the thread around the clock with the latest developments so stay tuned folks. We'll be making fun of him any way; it's not going to be nothing as crazy as an angry mob of people waiting with pitchforks, bats, and torches.

I think it's safe to say that he's still going to show up because this isn't nothing that's ruined his life or overall perception of him. On top of that, he hasn't posted in the thread within the last several days stating that he's not going so he's definitely still going. You guys are welcome to check his post history in thread for proof. I'm surprised we have a massive audience reading the thread so thanks. :)
 
I never understad the need to know something so badly online that happens every day if you just listen to your gf talking to her friends or some other bullshit I tell her I don't need to kno lol

Either way, good luck OP. Hope you can find a girl you are happy with.
 
Took me a little while but I went through this whole thread. The gifs and images were the best part, haven't laughed that hard in a while.
 
Had a great night last night. Went to MIA in Caesers. Good food, won a little money playing Roulette. We were all over each other all night, stayed at her place. Sexy time. She actually looked better than I remembered. Has this natural quality, wears like no makeup. We
are really into each other, its nice. Can't keep our hands off each other

Again

That .gif makes me crack up every time. The look on Andy Samberg's face is priceless.

And er... congrats on the sex, man!
 
Tell me when this becomes epic. I remember it earlier in the week but nothing special. I can't read every page right now but want epic before bed.
