I live here. :p

cookieman's avatar

Frankly, the money’s too good to pass up. When you think about it, it’s a lot of cabbage for not so much work.

rebbel's avatar

I pretend that I am here to socialize, to answer and ask questions.
But in reality I am here for two years now already, only waiting for this question!
Does that answer it?

YARNLADY's avatar

To keep my brain exercised.

JilltheTooth's avatar

I’m here to visit @augustlan . She lives here and she’s tall so she can reach stuff for me… ;-)

wilma's avatar

Sometimes for answers, but mostly to avoid doing what I should be doing.

downtide's avatar

I like the community here, it’s a mature and intelligent way to pass a little spare time. But also I think because I just like talking about myself.

janbb's avatar

I’m here to provide cookies for @cprevite.

thorninmud's avatar

For me, it’s like a wonderful interactive “people museum”. I get a peek into what people from many different backgrounds consider important, wonder about, worry about. It’s amazing to see the huge variety of ways the human mind can manifest. And then there’s the equally astonishing discovery that all of this variety ornaments a core of sameness. Very cool.

janbb's avatar

Oh, and also to read @thorninmud ‘s answers.

chyna's avatar

I’m here because I’m addicted. It’s like the Hotel California. You can checkout anytime you want, but you can never leave.

Welcome to the Hotel Fluther @mignondefleur!

cookieman's avatar

@janbb: I don’t care who you read, just keep making them cookies penguin.
Pretty please.

TexasDude's avatar

For the beer and the babes.

janbb's avatar

@cprevite Of course, sweetie!

JilltheTooth's avatar

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard : And the Moms. You’re here for the Moms, too. ;-)

TexasDude's avatar

@JilltheTooth, I’m always glad to have the moms around!

janbb's avatar

Some of us Moms are babes, too!

syz's avatar

For the guacomole.

Paradox25's avatar

For the same reasons that I sometimes post on other sites, to engage in some type of communication with others about things that I normally can’t with those around me. There aren’t too many rednecks that I can talk to about moral subjectivism or quantum mechanics.

marinelife's avatar

I am here to answer questions. I love to do that. But, sencondarily, it became about the community for me. I love all of my fellow jellies who are good, genuine, caring people.

FutureMemory's avatar

The women. I get so much e-ass it’s ridiculous.

marinelife's avatar

Correction: secondarily.

janbb's avatar

@FutureMemory “Fact from fiction, truth from diction?”

Ela's avatar

↑ What they said, minus the e-ass, plus to see what Auggie’s A is sportin’ (—♥—the ♥‘s btw!)

Jude's avatar

Free pancakes!

AshLeigh's avatar

Because you guys make me giggle. :)
I love the intelligent conversation, the ridiculous arguments, and the weird humor.

digitalimpression's avatar

I’m here to play devil’s advocate (ironically) when it comes to religious questions. That and intelligent conversation is often difficult to find in the real world, but there seems to be quite a collection of it here.

OpryLeigh's avatar

Because I enjoy asking and answering questions. Yes, my answer is that boring!

wundayatta's avatar

The lurve-in’ is incredible! Fluther has better orgies than Plato’s Retreat.

They do this thing where they play coed-twin-team strip scrabble/twister that will knock your socks off!

Only on fluther!

Although you have to be 18…. and be a good hopper.

Sunny2's avatar

I was sentenced to 10 years, but my lawyer got it knocked down to 4 years.

wundayatta's avatar

Better watch it, @Sunny2. Get in a fight, and you could earn those six years back again, in a snap!

I’m watching you!

cookieman's avatar

…intelligent conversation is often difficult to find in the real world, but there seems to be quite a collection of it here.

@digitalimpression: Amen to that my fellow jelly!!

gailcalled's avatar

To read @thorninmud‘s succinct and eloquent statements, which refine and clarify my rather muddy thinking.

Milo here; To find a forum where I can both get respect and simultaneously vilify Gail.

Blackberry's avatar

It’s not full of damn idiots.

CWOTUS's avatar

I can no longer wander into an airport terminal just to hang out and watch people go by and wonder about their lives (and why they dress in such a peculiar fashion), and I refuse to do that at the bus terminal (especially because they may simply throw me out of that place, too, and then where would I be?). So I hang out here instead.

linguaphile's avatar

To preserve my sanity!

ZEPHYRA's avatar

Simply to get by with a little help from my friends!

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

I’m here for the party. And Auggie. And Jill. And a few other sweet jellies. And the chocolate that I steal from people when their backs are turned.

MilkyWay's avatar

@FutureMemory You aint gettin no ‘e-ass’ from me. I only have an arse.
I’m here because I really like the atmostphere, the people here are really smart and wonderful people to get to know, and because I’m quite often bored and need an escape from zombiefying work.
@WillWorkForChocolate So it was you who nicked my chocolate bar!

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Nuh uh, weren’t me this time. We swears it on the preciousssss.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Let me sort-of echo @linguaphile : To prevent my sanity!

King_Pariah's avatar

It amuses me.

Bellatrix's avatar

All of the above except I don’t get any e-ass or babes…

And…it’s fun and a great distraction from work.

King_Pariah's avatar

Don’t feel bad @Bellatrix, you know that you’re one of the babes and that your e-milkshake brings all the boys to the thread.

Bellatrix's avatar

I am going to take that and carry it with me all day @King_Pariah. Damn Right!!

wilma's avatar

@Bellatrix I’ve never gotten any e-ass here either, but I have met some babes!

Blondesjon's avatar

They accept me.

Blackberry's avatar

@Bellatrix Lol @ “e-ass”.

Bellatrix's avatar

@Blackberry, love to take credit for the term but it belongs to @FutureMemory. He gets lots apparently :-D

Sunny2's avatar

Yo, @wundayatta. I’m tougher than I look and devious besides. I’d fight and be outta there before they knew what happened.

HungryGuy's avatar

I’m here because Answerbag reinivented itself a few years ago and disabled many of the features that made it fun and addictive, like sequential chats under the answers (much like Fluther has sequential chats under questions).

Bluefreedom's avatar

Fluther just…......does it for me. And that’s cool.

Berserker's avatar

Just a fun place to chill, man.

mangeons's avatar

I came here because @augustlan told me about it. I stayed because it’s an interesting place to chat and see other peoples’ points of view.

auhsojsa's avatar

When all walks of life gather, everyone get’s to stand in a circle, everyone get’s to take off their shoes, and shake the dirt off, then we all get to see what kinds of dirt was under our shoes, then we all get to pass our shoes around and try them on.

FutureMemory's avatar

I knew I smelled something..

Ela's avatar

Hmmm… I’m not very articulate and I’m not an expert at anything…
No ones told me to shoo?

jonsblond's avatar

4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42

mignondefleur's avatar

@jonsblond and your answers are the 4th 8th 15th 16th 23rd and 42nd comments?

Blondesjon's avatar

i think she’s lost it . . .

TheIntern55's avatar

I came for the answers, stayed for the nekkid pancake parties.
I haven’t gotten any e-ass either, and it sounds quite….uuuhh…..let me get back to you on that.

jonsblond's avatar

thank you @Blondesjon. I knew someone would get it. of course it would be you! =)

@mignondefleur I was just throwing out an obscure Lost reference. just being silly knowing that very few would get it, but knew someone would get it. that’s why I’m here ;)

digitalimpression's avatar

hahahahahahahaha, my post gets 4 lurve and the person who quoted my post got 7. hahahahahahahaha.. I love how random fluther is.

I also come here to answer orphan questions.. though its almost as if people work to find questions that are difficult to answer on those.

Sunny2's avatar

It makes me get up in the morning when I don’t want to and don’t have to. Curiosity raised the cat and all that.

FutureMemory's avatar

@digitalimpression It was probably because they didn’t quote your entire post, meaning the part about you playing devil’s advocate for religious questions.

digitalimpression's avatar

@FutureMemory ok… who cares.. just thought it was funny.

XOIIO's avatar

Я не знаю, но я решил разместить случайный комментарий на русском языке

Вы – забавный мальчик, @XOIIO.

Я соглашаюсь!

For the different opinions. And for the fun.

Berserker's avatar

Fat the wuck.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Wuck the fat @Symbeline???? (That’s WTF fer short.)

XOIIO's avatar

I think it stands for Wick The Fat, which is a faster reference to candle making.

Berserker's avatar

Candle making; FTW
What about FTW? I used to think that meant fuck the world, so everytime I saw it, it made no sense in relation to what it was added to.

Berserker's avatar

For the win; you say that when something is awesome/when you approve. Kinda like getting lurve lol.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Ftw then. :)

AshLeigh's avatar

Took me forever to figure out FTW too! Haha.

janbb's avatar

I had to ask someone a while ago about that one.

cookieman's avatar

For the longest time I thought it meant Fuck the What?

FutureMemory's avatar

Before the internet it meant Fuck The World. Common tattoo for bikers and other anti-social types way back when.

Berserker's avatar

@FutureMemory Really? That’s fucking cool lol.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

You’re all wrong. FTW has and always will mean- Fucking Turtle Widgets.

King_Pariah's avatar

*facepalm

You dummies! It means, “Forgot To Wipe.”

FutureMemory's avatar

@Symbeline You make me feel old =/

Berserker's avatar

@FutureMemory Hey I was around before the Internet was all prominent. Back when Nickelodeon cartoons were all popular.

HungryGuy's avatar

@SymbelineYou can’t do that on television!!!

Blondesjon's avatar

i don’t know

Berserker's avatar

@HungryGuy So what’s it gonna be huh…do I pour nasty slime all over you, or shove my armpit in your face? XD

Remember that nasty cook lol?

FutureMemory's avatar

That show was so weird…damn Canadians.

Berserker's avatar

It was awesome lol.

HungryGuy's avatar

@Symbeline – LoL. Yeah! And I’ll take your armpit over some fake chemical any day. I’ve consumed more body fluids from various female orifices so a little sweat won’t bother me :-/

@FutureMemoryFraggle Rock also came from Canada. Those Canadians made some great TV way back then!

Berserker's avatar

Never got to watch that as a kid…looks up fucked up though.

FutureMemory's avatar

@HungryGuy Oh, I love Canadian television. I’ve been watching Degrassi since the 1980s.
