Funniest Comments of the Week


In a thread titled "I'm so excited I could vomit":
4Runner: Yesterday a pregnant woman got so excited about the sales that she miscarried. Beat that.
face: I go so excited in a jacuzzi once that 4 women got pregnant.

Random Thread:
Boredofu: I'm in Montrael Station checking my emai'l in McDonald's and I tried to access youthink but it was blocked for "sefety reasons" apparently it's some kind of "dating site".
Amy_Tippin: So McDonald's blocks more than just your arteries

In a thread in which Face is annoyed that someone posted a ton of naruto links in the Link section, saying it needed a clean up:
le_berger: I like my link section messy.
face: There's a difference between messy and retarded. Like eggs over easy, they are messy and delicious. But eggs that have little deformed chicken heads in them. . .they aren't so good.

In a thread discussing Electric's insane ramblings about mods:
Jealousblues: It's like in the article where he says a mod (snowbordr?) hits on women and exchanges pics... so what? As long as its legal right?
Sammy: Exactly....so long as he sticks with overagers..and his gif doesn't care.
Jealousblues: Yeah, but what would his .jpg think?

In a thread in which someone posted a picture that doesn't appear to be real:
flovebunny: let's see if it's true in your case. Post a picture with no makeup!
melly1000: Well mine (avatar showing two bananas) really is of me, so suck on that!!
flovebunny: You're a banana?
melly1000: Crap, secret's out....better split.

Joke of the Week


Deathbed Confession


The was a man who had four kids, all gorgeous, except for the youngest one, Craig, who was nothing short of gruesome. While on his deathbed, the husband asked his wife, "Marie, tell me one thing. And please be honest. Am I Craig's father?"

"Yes, honey," replied his wife. "I promise you, Craig is 100 percent yours."

"I can die a happy man. Goodbye my love."

And the man peacefully passed away.

Marie gave a big sigh and said quietly, "Thank God he didn't ask me about the other three."

JoeInterview's Member Feature


This week's interview features NarcoticNico. This interview was conducted by travbowman.

JoeInterview: First off, how did you find YT?

NarcoticNico: I had just gotten into stumbling on the internet (StumbleUpon.com) around the beginning of the year and found YT as a favorited site. I was never really into forums and whatnot until I found youthink.

JI: What would you say is the biggest reason you keep coming back for more?

NN: The arrogant people of this site. They keep me amused as well as making me feel as though I shouldn't worry about how egotistical I am. And of course, the friends that I've made. I'm actually arrogant enough to expect at least one PM a day .

JI: What's the story behind your screenname?

NN: Oh, how embarrassing. Okay, so about 4 years ago when I found myspace, I thought that it would be cool to be like everyone else and have a name with something in front of it that started with the same letter (i.e. Margarita Mike). So, at the time I could only think of narcissistic or narcotic. I chose the latter because the C's sounded like a K, as in my name. And I just brought it over to YT. Regret it? A bit, but oh well.

It's nothing as interesting as being addicted to narcotics. I've gotten PMs about this, I assure you. Sorry, no hookups here.

JI: Your personality seemed to click at YT really quickly. Why do you think you escaped the typical dumb-newbie bashing?

NN: I really don't have a clue. Not using netspeak was a plus, I suppose. Maybe YT was having a new years resolution of being nice? Ha, yeah right. I do remember my very first journal, though. I made it about straightening my hair and I was getting tips about it. I'm surprised I didn't get any "GTFO n00bface".

JI: So now that you know a lot of YTers, whose advice would you seek regarding hair now?

NN: I can't recall if any of the people I know actually have a clue about hair. I'd probably ask Tieka since she's sort of a girly girl . But I think I have mastered my hair, as of now. If I asked anyone else, say Druid or Toaster, I'd come out of the ordeal looking worse than Britney Spears. They'd sure have a laugh, I'm sure. So, that's a definite no no.

JI: You seem to change avatars pretty regularly. Where do you find all of the pics that you use?

NN: Just as I found this site, I like to Stumble photography which just makes random pictures that other stumblers liked come up. If I like the picture, I may save it and come upon it in my pictures folder and decide I want it to be my avy. My avy usually changes with my mood or if I'm tired of looking at it.

JI: What sort of extra-curricular activities are you involved in at school?

NN: I'm on the Board of my class, and also a part of a tolerance group (GSA). I haven't had time this year to get into too many things with my job and my harder classes, and I really have to nail them this year.

JI: What kind of job are you working?

NN: I'm working at a Sonic as a carhop. When I was younger, I thought it would be the coolest thing and I would love tips. Now, I realize you get paid half minimum wage and your tips usually make up for the rest, and if not, they'll pay you. Such bull.

But at least I have a job and it's close to home.

JI: Sonic tv commercials done by improv comics: thumbs up or down?

NN: I think they're pretty good, tbh. Some suck, but hey, there are more than enough to make up for that. But seriously, Sonic should take up Wendy's advice and use a redhead. They're the best .

JI: What sort of music has been getting the most spin from you lately?

NN: Oh, I hardly ever listen to new music. I either listen to the radio, or the CDs that I own, so its the same old stuff. Which consists of mostly 70s -90s hits. I have been getting into English Pop, though.

JI: What's the best thing about living in Kansas?

NN: The vast amount of land that isn't filled with buildings and pollution. I love just taking a drive west out to nowhere and just looking at everything. My grandparents own a ranch here and its just lovely. I'm thinking of purchasing some land and having a house built for me and my future family.

JI: And what's the worst thing about being there?

NN: The stereotypes that come with living here, maybe . But really, I love the mountains and the ocean, and none of that is located here. So, I love taking vacations every year to colorado to ski and to california to visit family.

JI: What's your most prized possession and why?

NN: Well, when I was small my grandmother and my great grandmother decided I should collect porcelain dolls, so they started getting one for me each christmas and birthday. Anyways, there is one that looks just like me, red hair, little green outfit, and her name was Nicole in the packaging. She even has one of those wind up things in the back and she sways from side to side as the jingle plays.

It's my favorite one, and I'll have it forever.

JI: What's your relationship with your parents like?

NN: Heh, well, they're divorced and I grew up with my mother mostly after the age of 4, so I have a strong dependent bond with her. She likes to use my love for her a lot, though. You know, the "If you really loved me, you wouldn't want to spend the summer with your father" crap, which really gets under my skin because I love her so much.

I don't live with her anymore, though. At around 13, I moved up to Kansas City and started living with my father. I kind of feel like our relationship is still building. He's a hard man, his personality and he's hard to live with sometimes. But I feel as though he'd always do what's best of us and I know he regrets the loss of us growing up with him.

JI: What's the most important lesson you've learned from either parent?

NN: I've learned from my mother, that if you strive to do well at anything, even if others exceed you in education or wealth, the best worker always stands out the most. It makes me proud of how far she's gotten.

JI: If Buddy decided to sell YT to you for a dollar, what is the first thing you'd change about it?

NN: The yellow envelopes. It never really bothered me before, until I clicked a bunch of really stupid threads and I didn't want them to haunt me until a n00bie quit posting in it.. which could be days and days. And I couldn't tell them from the threads I actually wanted to read.

JI: If money were not a factor, where would you travel that you've never seen before?

NN: Ireland. I've always wanted to go there since I was a little girl because my grandmother would always tell me stories of her and her mother living there. I've read books and have seen pictures, and it puts you in awe. I can't imagine what it'd be like if you actually went there.

JI: Where do you see yourself in ten years?

NN: Wow, hmm. If everything goes the way I plan it, I will probably already graduated college and proceeding on furthering my career as a corporate attorney. (Which I hear is a job where you have to kiss a lot of ass) But it is really something I want to do.

I don't find myself in Kansas, anymore, that's for sure. Probably somewhere a little more busy where I could be more successful. I'm not sure if I'll start a family by them, but I want to have children before I'm 30. And if none of this works out, I'll be a kickass Ginger hobo . You can all buy me McDonalds.

JI: Whose threads do you enjoy reading every time?

NN: Probably Rob_can_run's threads. Always the funniest, and he's a funny guy, so he also gets a plus in that aspect. It's kind of hard to choose, though. There are many. I can think of threads from Druid, Toaster, Raph, Icha, etc. that are always a good read whether they are funny or serious.

JI: What's your forte in the kitchen?

NN: I've found that I can bake very well, especially cakes. My father taught me how to make layered cakes and bake them in different designs to be stacked on top of each other. I always like to make pudding to go in between the layers instead of frosting, but then sometimes you have to stick toothpicks in it to keep it all together.

My favorite part is the decorating, though. I've made a few and have shown them to YT, I think it was a chocolate and a strawberry cake. Anyways, I always scavenge around the kitchen to find things to top the cake with, like nuts or chocolate drops or even gummy worms. It matters who the cake is for, the gummy worms were for a halloween cake that was chocolate with orange frosting.

JI: What's the craziest cake you've ever done?

NN: Hmm, I guess there was a pistachio cake that I made, where I mixed the pistachio pudding powder with the cake mix in order to make the cake green, then I shaped it so that it looked like a frog. I couldn't shape the actual cake mix like a frog, I don't have a frog shaped cake pan, but I had to put pieces together and then frost them so that they stayed together. It was for a friends birthday, who obviously loves frogs.

JI: Do you have a parting shot to share with your fellow YTers?

NN: I do, in fact, have a soul. That is all.

Excerpt: Sarah drifted quietly. She couldn't stay concentrated in just one place today. She was just filling the room, her soul casually lodging itself in random places without rhyme or reason.
