Inside jokes revealed
There are a lot of inside jokes that are not likely to give newbs any insight at all, so I will explain them all to you. I have a terrible memory, so if I don't remember actual facts, I will rewrite history, and from now on, whatever I say will heretoforth be the way it happened. Even if I misused heretoforth, but I don't think I did.
So if you're reading these and have questions about any of the statements, tell me which one, and I will elaborate.

What the fludge is Elfstergate? I've deduced that people got personal info off of it and used it for evil? Is that close?
I also don't understand any Chop references but that may be from before I was a wee lurker.

It's been almost a year since my last haircut, for this. exact. reason. It's a big problem. My H is not nearly as tolerant of my phobia as yours is though. He tries to make up reasons for me to call people, thinking that if I use the phone enough, I'll overcome my fear.
On the upside, my friend told me (in person) that next time she makes a hair appt. she'll make one for me as well, and we can go together. I'm hoping it's soon.

Elfstergate:
A side board of AFB members, known tongue-in-cheek and later infamously as the "Elite Hoars" broke into the NEY secret santa exchange, via the login of a poster named Ready. She used her kid's name as her password, so I think Exp got in on the first try. We asked some questions under Ready's username; some funny, some mean, some nonsensical. The point being to make everyone wonder who in the exchange had asked them (the questions were anonymous, but you had to be in the group to post them). Drama and finger pointing ensued. Then chop contacted Elfster and some little brown noser with too much time on her hands gave out the IP of the people who posted the questions and even suggested contacting the FBI or something ridiculous, as if this person was going to get laid if the mystery was solved. Anyway, the Elites were outed! Anger ensued! People were called douches! Infighting on the secret board broke out! Some people GBCKed forever, some for awhile, and IRL friendships were ended. Many of those on AFB who were not involved in the secret board were offended and/or GBCAFBed and/or went off to create their own secret board (known as the hair salon). Chop sat back and laughed at the broken friendships on AFB, caused by her brilliant investigation. Of course anyone who cared about internet people was a huge loser and needed to get a life, you see! What a bunch of crybabies!
The fallout of this day led to the revenge scheme known as chopgate.
These were the DAYS, man. Days when you got zero done at work because you couldn't tear yourself away from the drama. I'm much more productive now, which is probably a good thing.

Man, I hated chop. from day 1, I thought she sucked. I wanted to punch people in the face when they talked about what "super cool mom" she was and how "awesome" liz was.
One day, a year or so after her wedding, she posted a pic of herself and I thought, "man, you got FAT". I wanted to mention it, but I didn't want any other chubbies to get their feelings hurt.
Thanks for the recap Fenton. Jeebus. That is much more involved than I thought! I'm sad I missed that. *tear*
2013 Calendars and More!
this probably makes up for a third of why you think i'm awesome. Shared dislike for chop is a powerful thing. God, she was such a fecking douche.
I actually wasn't around for the first and possibly second iteration of toot/cherished. I think she was an NEY supervillain before the great merge. I'll give you what I imagine to have happened based on tidbits of posts that I didnt' pay much attention to.
Back in the olden days, when AFBers were mean, and NEYers were way meaner, and P&E was ruled by Chad, son of Fallin, Father of Wintour, and inventor of the Knot, Toot was planning her wedding, only she was in a relationship with a guy who liked to put things into his bumbershoot. I know what you're thinking 'the coolest guys I know like things in their bumbershoots. You're right about that.
So one day, toot came around and was all "my bf likes wang" and Mulva was all "maybe you turned him off from women because you look like a caveman" and Buddha was all "perhaps it was due to your unfortunate choice in eye makeup" Chop was all "shut the fuque up or I'll crap on your porch" and Fallin was all "bless your heart", and that's the one that stung the most.
So Toot stopped actively posting and dropped to lurker status, hoping to gather enough information to take down the board. Some say she began a relationship with Knot Monkeytard, who did, in fact, take down the board as well as the rest of the knot. Then I think she turned him gay too. The rest of us, now united in the wake of Elfstergate/Choppagate/Pebblegate migrated to Entertainment where we were shunned and cast off to the Caribbean. Toot eventually found us and still sucks.
the end.

The Chloe thing happened shortly after I joined the knot. When I first came on the scene, I went to P&E, which was populated by Chad, Ramey, Chloe, Weeza, possibly OOT, Fredalina, and others who I do not remember.
Chloe was the 'bad girl' of P&E. She was living with two men who she slept with regularly and was raising her kid with them. She also hooked up with women on occasion and was for the most part, a slore. She invited me to join my very first thuper thecret thide board, the Purple Cow, which was gayer than the gay mayor of gayville, Kirk Cameron. She also worked in the adult industry, only I also work in the adult industry, and she had never heard of anything.
Then out of nowhere, an NEYer got access to her MySpace page (does anybody still use myspace?) and discovered that she was a troll. Sadly, she was a troll for several months, and kept up her 'persona' by using pictures of one friend for herself, picutres of another friend's kid for her kid, and pictures of Telly Savalas and John Astin for the guys she was shacking up with.
Also I think she pretended to get the AIDS or something.

"gayer than the gay mayor of gayville, Kirk Cameron"
is this a bigoted slur if I use it? because I want to. REAL BAD.

Cali, do it! I remember those stories because one of them was the very first thread I opened the first time I came to lurk AFB and I died laughing and fell in love with Groomz at first sight.
It would be a slur if you said it, but if you make it clear that you heard it from an assbandit, I think you'll be fine.

Baby Green Bird was the only child of an aging spinster who lived alone with her cat... and her 29 other cats. One night, BGB's mom was invited to a party, and had a little too much to drink and 40 weeks later, Felice jr. was born.
When Jr. was old enough, Felice got her a job at the edible underwear factory where she worked. Jr. was fired after donning the fruity undergarments and trying to seduce her 75 year old boss. Nevertheless, they were very happy until one night, Felice caught her daughter masturbating to pictures of Karl Rove. Felice could not accept such behavior, and kicked her daughter out of her house forever. She was so humiliated that Felice eventually went into hiding, and attempted to change her identity, to limited success.
Felice Jr, now a castout (or STILL a castout) wandered the streets until she found a safe haven. Jr. began living in the back yard of an unsuspecting woman who had a penchant for wildlife, and would leave food out, upon which Jr. sustained herself. She would sleep on the grass so often, that her blonde hair was dyed green with grass stains. Each morning, she would wait for the homeowner to come outside, leave a treat for the animals, and go back in.
One day, the woman caught Jr. feasting on her sweet, sweet peanut butter, and took pity on the girl. She brought her into her house, and named her Baby Green Bird, because of her green locks, and her penchant for the sweet, sweet peanut butter that was lovingly served to the featherbabies each morning.
BGB stayed with her foster mother for a few months, but eventually realized that it was time to chase her dream job as a troll that hangs out under bridges and picks on goats. She had heard stories of such trolls, but did not know where one went to apply. Remembering that she had seen a story of one such troll on a TV program, and realizing that TV programs probably come from Hollywood, she began her journey west.
With no money, she had to rely on her sex appeal to gain the attention of motorists so she could hitchike to Hollywood. It took her 20 years. Eventually, she got there, and began looking for bridges. She found Beau Bridges, who took pity on BGB, and let her sleep in his back yard. At least 40 feet away from the house.
One morning BGB awoke to the sound of arthritis, and looked across the yard to see a man who she mistook for her former boss. She never got over her love for him, and everytime she smelled orange fruit roll ups and that smell that you smell when you touch your taint after you went a day without showering, and it doesn't smell really bad, but it's not a great smell either, but you just can't stop smelling your finger as if you've just discovered this new tainty smell... she thought of him.
BGB stood up and ran toward the man who she believed to be her one true love. She ran, and ran, and ran, and then she slipped on a cowpie. Humiliated and stinky, she laid there, but heard the sound of arthritic creaking getting closer and closer. Then a withered old hand that was probably really hot once when he did a movie with Drew Barrymore and the daugther from Roseanne, (not that one, the other one) where I got to see his butt, reached down to help her up. Tom Skerritt, with his failing eyesight and dead sense of smell, did not notice what a mess BGB was, and took her home, cleaned her up, and eventually proposed.
She now sleeps in his back yard.
Since Buddha covered BGB, here's Retread's story:
Grooms' story of how RetreadBride came to be

KDoane, come sit by me a spell.
Retread bride was the bastard daughter of a circus worker. When she was twelve, her mother accidentally left her behind when the circus picked up and moved from Desmoines to Albequerque. It seems one of those zany monkeys dressed up like Retread, and her mother just assumed she was walking funny because of a mishap with a clown car the night before.
Retread spent the next several months searching for her mom and the circus folk, but every time she though she had caught up with them, they had moved again. When she finally DID catch up with them, she found that her mother had sadly passed away after being hit by the same clown car that caused Retread's alleged limp. That's where her screen name came from. It's because the treads of the clown car struck her family not once, but twice.
She was horrified to find out that her mother never found out about the switch, and left all of her money to the monkey who squandered it on Pez dispenesers and those boston baked bean candy that don't taste like beans at all, but who would want to eat candy that really tasted like beans anyway?
So retread, left with no family, came to the Knot, and seeked solace in the arms of NEY and AFB. We tried and tried to mend the wounds left by her circus mom and the monkey scandal. Dolly even used her mad NEY Detective connections to find her father, but the monkey had already found him, and he thought Retread was a fraud.
So you see, we've all tried her best, but Retread is so jaded due to her own misfortune, that we have been forced to use a "tough love" approach with her. Except for Tasty. She still tries, but look at what good it does her.

I was here for Pebblegate, but missed about half of Elfstergate. I could pick up most of it, but wtf was the Elfstergate Chihuahua?
Also, why does camping cure AIDS and why shouldn't I bother being tested?
