    Remeber boys & girls, “friends” will help you move.
    “Good friends” will help you move bodies.

    The imaginary friend thing is funny, but online communication with real people is a lot more than just talking to yourself. And if ALL friends lent money and helped each other move, then there would be no need for banks or moving companies. Therefore, those 2 criteria of friendship don’t adequately describe most RL friends. So, enjoy your online friends, they’re just as good as most RL friends.

    cancel my membership…I don’t wish to pay to see yesterdays non sequitur…. all I wanted to do is see one from two days ago someone told me about…and I don’t need to pay to be a “comic genius” ………anyone who pays is no genius!

    You don’t have to pay to see yesterday’s strip. There’s a week’s worth of free archives. See the little calendar up there?

    I always think of online friends as acquaintances, mainly because I never see them anywhere else, while my friends are in more than one part of my life.

    gmartin - Bob has always had a mustache, it is just usually at a hard angle to see

    laugherette - a genius account allows you to see years of archives, and to keep large collections of your favorites without limiting your ability to view them. It also gets rid of the ads, which alone is something I find worth it.

    Facebook? What’s Facebook? I like being net.invisible. It keeps me from being implicated in scandals with people acting like donkeys.

    The first time one of you commented on my coment here using my username I felt like I had a new friend.

    Thanks.
    The mystery of who we are in real life is exciting.

    A true friend will give you the shirt off his back…
    A good friend will give you a clean shirt…
    A really good friend will help you dispose of the bodies…

    guntotingliberal, so what HAVE you been doing with the donkeys, that you don’t want to be implicated for? Hmmm?

    I’m still amazed at the idea of using a laptop in a bar. I missed the coffeehouse trend, too, but at least I understand it. My experience with bars and laptops are colored by my youth in the Navy .

  15. okeedoekee

    okeedoekee said, 4 months ago

    Right, in a bar I am drinking and intoxicated and mingling with live bodies. I would be way too cross eyed,and dizzy to look at a monitor and type.
    And Joe’s problem is….?

    Is he Danae’s dad?

    Doctor ToonGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    okeedoekee - I never expected it, but I’ve made some pretty good friends here at Gocomics.
    It’s not what I started posting for, however, it has been a nice fringe benefit.
    I can’t imagine having a facebook account or using any other kind of social networking site.

    Steverino: whenever I hear “bar” and “lap” in the same sentence, I figure the story’s going to end with an unpronounceable virus…

    Come to think of it, maybe the digital age isn’t that different after all…

    Can add these.

    A really, REALLY good friend will go to town, get 2 POA and bring one home to you.
    When he needs to take a pee he will take two, so you don’t have to.

    okeedoekee said, 4 months ago

    Bar and lap, yes indeed.

    …said Bob, as he was drinking his fruity umbrella drink and imagining he was in Tahiti with some bikini babes.

    doc is right. I’ve met some good friends here as well, and it beats facebook, chat rooms, etc.

    are those friends or followers? Seems to be a cult thing.

    Joe is Danae’s dad, and Bob is his brother. I never knew until I read this Wikipedia entry that Joe’s ex-wife was named Jennifer, let alone that “[s]he is said to have run off with a biker while the family was on a trip to New Hampshire”:

    (to fix link, add underscores before and after “Sequitur”)

    Now I feel sorry for Danae and that other little girl. I am thinking she is Danae’s sister.

    Actually most people never outgrow their imaginary friends. They worship them every Sunday at church.

    JonD17, in our case its friends! Sorry to disappoint!

    Burgundy2 said, 4 months ago

    I like facebook for finding old friends that I’ve lost track of. I found a few that way. That’s about all I use it for.

    This forum is better for meeting new people - I think because we already have a common interest.

  31. okeedoekee

    okeedoekee said, 4 months ago

    Yes I like our common interest. Today is the first time I considered us as friends. I like that also; however, can you help me move next weekend?

    A man of too many friends comes to ruin, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

    @D-i-c-e-R {the N-i-c-e-R} Thanks

    Duh! Who would of guessed that you are the RL Cunumdrum Crusader! Highlarious!
    And Ditto to every word about online friends…years ago I had many on the “old Ask Jeeves”, then they had to go change it….
    ….sharing info, money, help, support, a thoughtfulness, makes the world a better place

    James RiendeauGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    Three sure ways to exchange a friend for an enemy: borrow money from him, lend money to him, or date his ex-girlfriend. But moving will strengthen the bond.

  42. laughterette

    laughterette said, 4 months ago

    Two great features with the old Ask Jeeves site was:
    [1] a place to enter an optional Short Profile and [2] they Catagorized Topics so that you could ask questions or respond about everything from computers info to car repairs to mysticism etc. If you found someone with a peticular mutual interest you could check their profile with their email address and have direct email pen pals from all over the world. I think it was kiboshed, assassinated, so to speak. RIP. I miss it
