    "Real Life" and "Internet Life"

    I think its about time for us to properly define what "Internet Life" is and coin a single word for it, a word that can make the word "real life" irrelevant.


    So...instead of:

    "In real life I am not as sarcastic as I am on the Internet".

    We can say... {insert sentence here}

    be free

    I think most people would find the word "surfing" to be sufficient.

    "I'd never dream of saying something like that unless I was surfing. It's just not in my nature."

    There's a difference?
    Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
    Jon Miller: MikeH is a shockingly revolting dolt and a masturbatory urine-reeking sideshow freak whose word is as valuable as an aging cow paddy.
    We've got both kinds

    If real life is meatspace, I suppose online life is veggispace.
    Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

    That's where people don't understand when you go up to them and say "asl?" You might remember it from such excitement as growing up, buying food, or leaving your house at all.

    The closest anyone around here comes to real-life is when they say "Ming and rah are real-life twins!"
