/eh/ - Relatively Boring Conversations

>>159

Hey John,

No worries about the drawing. We're not here to be good artists, we're here to be boring.

As for the roll call, I don't think I catch your drift. Do you mean dice? Because those have been enabled even before I became board owner.

Yours truly,

John Smith

>>160

Sorry about the confusion. By 'roll call', I was referring to your goal of trying to determine an approximate number of users of the board.

Hope that clears up any confusion, John.

–John

>>162

Ah, my bad John, I can be a bit slow sometimes. Then again, that's why I run this board. Anyway, where were we? Oh yes, roll call.

The board list has a column called "active users", which lists the amount of unique IPs (not users, but close) that have made a post in the past 72 hours. This number is usually around the 7, if I recall correctly, but is 4 at the moment.

I don't think it's possible to truly count numbers on an Johnymous imageboard though, and in a way, that's a good thing. New users are of course always welcome here though, as long as they don't cause too much of a fuss. If you know anyone, feel free to invite them here. Don't advertise us too blatantly though, as that would only give us a bad name.

I hope to hereby have informed you enough.

Regards,

John Smith

Dear John,

After looking at your board for a while, I decided that it looks interesting, but it seems to be a bit too wild for my tastes. I will lurk some more though, and see what will happen.

Regards,

John Smith

Hey John, I thought some of your words were a little inflammatory or shocking. However, it doesn't really matter what we say, in the end, so keep doing you.

The dry ones, really. The wet ones are such a hassle to eat, and there's more risk of spilling.

My middle name is John, posting on this board is speeding up my heart. I don't think I should be allowed here.

>>183

Try to breathe deeply, and realise that life is boring. Don't let excitement take you over John, I believe in you.

I've got 9 keys on my keychain, but I only use 2 regularly, which are the keys to my home and my mailbox.

I've stopped putting mayonnaise on both sides of the bread. I've found that the other layer of mayonnaise isn't cost effective and completely unnecessary to a bland tasting meat holder.

pic related, it's nothingness

Hi John,

Apparently the landlord said that we can put ads on other people's boards. Perhaps more people can visit if we make an advertisement that isn't too exciting?

Regards,

John Smith

There's worse things out there, John. The provider for my phone calls can only be contacted by Facebook, whcih I deliberately avoid. I had to make an account just to communicate with them.

Why's that John? They always seem to cheer me up.

I personally prefer the sky during the day, John, I enjoy admiring the structures of the clouds. The night sky is interesting too, but the vastness is a bit too much for me.

–John

I always really enjoy the night sky. It makes me feel really small.

Hey John,

I've never really been able to get into stargazing, but that's mostly an issue of light pollution. I remember once when I went camping in South Carolina, I was just amazed at how the sky was flooded with stars. To this day, I've never seen the Milky Way, but I hope to one day.

-John

Well John, the thing is, I don't really like ketchup in the first place. Not on my sausages, not on my potatoes, and logically, not on my macaroni.

Now, normally I just don't like ketchup because of the taste, but with macaroni the fact that ketchup is cold and the meal is hot also plays a role. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that people actually seem to be enjoying this. Tomato sauce, which is pretty similar in some of its ingredients is something I do really like on my macaroni though: in fact, I almost never eat any pasta without it.

I hope to have informed you enough of my tastes now, John, so one question remains: what about you?

Your friend,

John

>>154

You know, John, I'm sort of in the same boat as >>156 I don't really enjoy the sweet taste of ketchup, even though the vinegar taste is okay. I do like quite a bit of pepper on my macaroni though. I will have to try tomato sauce now, sounds pretty interesting.

I know this may be a little bit off topic, John, but I enjoy my macaroni, and most all of my pasta, with a dash of salt and pepper, a helping of butter and few spritzes of olive oil. I find that it helps the 'bulky' feeling that eating too much pasta tends to leave a person with. I hope you get a chance to try this at some time, if you haven't before.

–John

>>168

Some good points John. I'd like to add cheese to that list. It really adds something to the meal as a whole.

>>169

Cheese is not a bad idea. I feel somewhat bad, I have to admit, for my impulse to derail this thread with conversation that is not related to macaroni, but I feel strongly compelled to recommend mixing some sliced pears and olives with your pasta, and if you are feeling completely out of character, replacing the oil and pepper with citrus juice and zest.

I'll digress though, John, I feel all this experimental food discussion in getting me too excited, you'll have to forgive me, it's been a few days since I've had a good meal.

–John

>>146

Sorry about that, John, I was having a little bit too much excitement last night.

>>147

Don't worry about it John, it can happen to the best.

>>149

This is pretty neat, thanks for the share, John.

>>149

I've only ever really listened to Vekktroid, John, but I'll give your link a try, thanks for the recommend.

Dear John,

Thanks for the inquiry. To my horror, I realised that I never really thought about this. If, for some reason, someone decided to raid us, it would cause a lot of commotion, no matter how I handle it. However, in such a case I could enable the captchas against bots, no matter how much they annoy and upset me (there's those random combinations of numbers and letters, I always wonder how it works. truly fascinating).

If it were actual human beings doing this, than it would probably be possible to politely show them the door manually, except if they came in great numbers. I don't think that will happen very easily though, since we are but a small piece of paper on the great desk that is 8chan.

Again, thanks for your concern, John. If I missed anything, feel free to correct me.

With high regards,

John Smith

Sort of, John. They sure felt very cool, and held a lot of data back then, but I have no use for them any more.

Maybe I am letting my assumption and curiosity get the better of me, but I'm assuming you do mess them, John?

–John

Hey John,

I really liked floppies. They were nicer to just hold or have on your shelf than CDs or USB drives. It's a pity they hold so little data

Hey John,

I have a few nostalgic memories about floppy disks. When I was in elementary school they gave everyone in the class a floppy disk to store the work that they did on the computer. It was mostly just things made in microsoft publisher, where we learned how to drag and drop and perform other simple tasks like that.

I still have the floppy that contained that work, but I've got no idea if it's still readable.

Regards,

John

>>153

Why not try it, John? You might stumble upon some great memories.

Hi John,

I have lucid dreams most nights, so what I do in my dreams is largely influenced by me. However, when I have non-lucid dreams, most of the time my friends and family play a role in it. I also seem to get apocalyptic themes a lot, don't know what's up with that.

Regards,

John

>>123

That's interesting, John. I attain lucidity sometimes, but I always lose it once I get too excited. How do you manage to keep yourself under control?

-John

>>140

It's a matter of getting used to it, really. After getting lucid for so many times, you'll get less excited, and you'll remain lucid. At least, that's how it went for me.

Good luck.

John.

Dear John,

You may want to sit down for a bit, because this might come as a terrible shock.

I found out that there is no way for us to have elevator music playing on /eh/. I'd need at least one line of custom html, or a custom bit of Javascript, and all I have access to is css.

I am sorry for this terrible disappointment. If there is a way I have overlooked, please do not hestitate to tell me.

Sincerely,

John Smith

>>129

You know, John, I think music suddenly playing when I visited the page might be a bit too exciting for me, even if it is just elevator music (which I happen to like, when I see it coming, that is). Maybe the lack of the music is for the best.

– John

> >130

Well John, you have a fair point there. I'm glad you're not too disappointed.

Your pal, John.

Dear John,

I have noticed the lack of post highlighting when hovering over a reply in the top right.

I am writing this to inquire if this is is intended or not.

-John

>>136

Hey John,

Highlights might be a bit of a thrill to some people here, but removing them was unintentional. I'll get to it soon, probably tomorrow.

Regards,

John Smith
