Internet Personalities

[StarBuck]

Threadkiller StarBuck here! :-p


People who were made "Internet Famous" from things they posted on the net. Post `em if ya got `em.

Gawker.com has a "Doughbag Hall of Fame" and this guy is it's first member. But this week's inductee tops him, IMHO.Check out his website. His scenes made me laugh and laugh. I expected a clip of an actual scene and instead get a part of a head in a scene. The following email correspondence took place between John and some lady.
"So I winked at this guy on Match. Should have known better considering his screen name was "IvyLeagueAlum." He responds with the following email...

I live in a 31 story high rise condominium, right in the middle of the Buckhead nightlife district. Do you ever come to this area of town to shop/go out/visit/explore? I went to an Ivy League school - the University of Pennsylvania - for my undergraduate degree in economics and my graduate degree in management (Wharton School of Business). Where did you go to school?
What activities do you currently participate in to stay in shape? I work out 4 times a week at LA Fitness. Do you exercise regularly? I am 6 feet tall, 185 pounds - what about yourself? I am truly sorry if that sounds rude, impolite or even downright crass, but I have been deceived before by inaccurate representations so I prefer someone be upfront and honest on initial contact...
I do mergers & acquisitions (corporate finance) for Limited Brands (Bath & Body Works, Victoria's Secret, etc). Enjoy any of our stores/divisions?
Do you have any other recent pictures you care to share? I have many others if you care to see them.
Regards,
John

"So," the lady writes, "I in turn send him a polite "No Thanks" thru the Match system which sends him the following email: 'Thanks for writing to me, but unfortunately, we're just not a good match. Good luck in your search! Our Portraits didn't match on: A. Personality'" A spurned and brokenhearted John wrote back, less robotically but no less douchily.

I think you forgot how this works. You hit on me, and therefore have to impress ME and pass MY criteria and standards - not vice versa. 6 pictures of just your head and your inability to answer a simple question lets me know one thing. You are not in shape. I am a trainer on the side, in fact, I am heading to the gym in 26 minutes! So next time you meet a guy of my caliber, instead of trying to turn it around, just get to the gym! I will even give you one free training session, so you don't blow it with the next 8.9 on Hot or Not, Ivy League grad, Mensa member, can bench/squat/leg press over 1200 lbs., has had lunch with the secretary of defense, has an MBA from the top school in the country, lives in a Buckhead high rise, drives a Beemer convertible, has been in 14 major motion pictures, was in Jezebel's Best dressed, etc. Oh, that is right, there aren't any more of those!

Regards,
John

And he's still single!? That's unbelievable...

[StarBuck]

Who would have thunk it? He wears his personality on his face, and he waxes his eyebrows. I have a name for guys like this.

So do we. We call him "HornsManiac".

[Maple Leafs]

That was actually thoroughly entertaining.

And I knew a guy who would absolutely make a site like this, with no hint of irony at all.

[MikeVic]

This guy has nothing on Flasch!

For the First Inductee, This went along with his 11 page resume. Fast forward to the ending credits for pure hyperbole.

Another "Famous" Internet Personality is "Winterose Nightingale". Entire groups, forums and websites have been spawned to talk about this delusional 40 year old woman who claims she is 25 and actually thinks she is a fairie witch colurata soprano and the reincarnation of several of England's queens. She claims her "cherrywood tresses" is real her own and waxes poetic about her beauty.

Someone who supposedly actually met her said:
There have been several times in my life when I've had to deal with people who were not clinically insane, or diagnosed as mentally ill, but who's beliefs and behaviors made them seem (to me) bat poo crazy. I am not asking at all for feelings about WHAT is crazy, only how to interact with those who seem to you to march to the beat of an accordian (played on another planet)


Examples:
The 25-ish woman who is married and who's husband holds a menial job. She babysits a few days a week, for a good friend, for minimum wage. She (honestly) spends most of her days having baby-doll and teddy bear tea parties in the yard, dressing up as a Disney princess and posting pics, going to the mall dressed in little girl tea party dress-up clothes and shopping for princess toys and dolls, going to Ren faires dressed in wigs and fairy or pixy outfits, and complaining about how career women have lost their ability to "influence the boys" with a wink. She has also stated beliefs that she is a hereditary witch, and decendant of a native american "princess" and descended from fairies, selkie, and kelpie, and that her eyes change color depending on her mood. Our paths crossed at a writing project, which I left, rather than deal with this woman.

I guess it takes all kinds to make this world interesting.

That dude was cocky...but not very funny.

"Hi! I'm Kevin from DeLL"

[Pumpy Tudors]

Oh, thank God. I was afraid that this thread was going to be about me.

Nah...he said nothing about scheduling a meeting to train her.
