Found this at www.laughitoff.com :lol:

1. Make up fake acronyms. Online veterans like to use abbreviations like IMHO (in my humble opinion) or RTFM (read the ****ing manual) to show that they're "hep" to the lingo. Make up your own that don't stand for anything (SETO, BARL, CP30), use them liberally, and then refuse to explain what they stand for ("You don't know that? RTFM").

2. WRITE YOUR MESSAGES IN ALL CAPS AND DON'T USE RETURNS SO THAT EVERYONE HAS TO SCROLL ACROSS THEIR SCREENS TO READ EVERY LINE. ALSO USE A LOT OF !!!!! TO SHOW THAT YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT BEING HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

3. When replying to your mail, correct everyone's grammar and spelling and point out their typos, but don't otherwise respond to the content of their messages. when they respond testily to your "creative criticism," do it again. Continue until they go away.

4. Software and files offered online are often "compressed" so that they won't take so long to travel over the phone lines. Buy a compression program and compress everything you send, including one-word e-mail responses like "Thanks."

5. Upload text files with Bible passages about sin or guilt and give them names like "SexyHousewivesI," then see how many people download it. Challenge your friends to come up with the most popular come-ons.

6. cc: all your e-mail to Al Gore (vice.president@whitehouse.gov) so that he can keep track of what's happening on the Internet.

7. Join a discussion group and tie whatever's being discussed back to an unrelated central theme. For instance, if you're in a discussion of gun control, respond to every message with the observation that those genetically superior tomatoes seem to have played an important role. Within days, all discussion of gun control will have ceased as people write you threatening messages and instruct others to ignore you.

My contributions to this list...

8. use no capital letters and punctuation at all your posts will be hard to read also be sure to use abbreviations like u ur 4 b and hard to read stuff like that b sur to us por speling and grammar it make ur post even mor of chalenge to figur owt

9. Go to a fan site for something you don't like and make fun of the idiots who actually enjoy what you think is the stupidest thing ever created. Really, how can people be moronic enough to think such-and-such is a great TV show/music group/actor/whatever. It's up to people with good taste to tell these dumbos why they're such idiots.

10. Go on and on and on and on and one about your weird obsession, like K-mart, underwear, or TV informercials, obliviously unaware that no one is really reading your posts or they're making fun of you.

11. :censored: Make sure that :censored: every other :censored: word you type is :censored: a :censored: swear word. When :censored: other people complain about your :censored: choice of :censored: words, tell them to :censored: :censored: :censored: !

12. Bump up old threads without really adding anything new to the discussion. Also, quote a long passage just to say, "I agree!"

13. Post really large, un-resized pictures that cause other peoples' browsers/computers to crash when they attempt to view your ridiculously large pictures. HOW DARE THEY ASK YOU TO RESIZE YOUR PICTURES! YOU WANT THEM TO SEE EVERY PIXEL OF YOUR PICTURE IN DETAIL!

14. Make sure every quiz you take on Facebook has to do with sex. The more TMI the quiz, the better! People totally need to know ALL about your sex life! When they tell you to cut it out, bitch them out that they need to get laid more. These prudes!

:lol: A male cousin of mine does #14 constantly. I don't tell him to cut it out... I'm more like "O.o" and just X them out of my news feed. I should hide him from my news feed entirely. Heh.

the best one is to send whoever you want on a forum a PM with a HUGE huge picture, so that if they have a slow/slower computer then you, it effs up their browser lol. i've been the victim of that, and while it was funny for a sec, it pissed me off lol.

What's a Rick roll?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickrolling

Rickrolling is an Internet meme typically involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up". The meme is a bait and switch: a person provides a web link that they claim is relevant to the topic at hand, but the link actually takes the user to the Astley video. The URL can be masked or obfuscated in some manner so that the user cannot determine the true destination of the link without clicking. When a person clicks on the link and is led to the web page, he or she is said to have been "Rickrolled".

Once you click on the link, you can't click out of it either Kristen. You have to go to Task Manager and shut down and restart your internet browser. Some people don't know how to do that so it forces them to have to restart their computers, in order to get it off the screen. It's a pretty crazy/weird internet phenomenon.

No, they don't. There's no Alt key on Macs - if such a thing existed, it would be Ctrl + Option (Apple) + Delete.

They have a less dumb way of bringing up their version of Window's task manager - click the Apple menu and choose "Force Quit" from the menu there. No pressing keys to make their task manager come up. :)

I think I did that at least once in my online life. I posted on IMDB once, I think it was, for, say, "Two and a Half Men," and said something to the effect that it should go off the air. I realized, however, thanks to another poster, that there are people who enjoy looking at it, as there are for virtually every series ever made. So now, having considered that, I try not to be that way anymore. The way I am now, you look at what you like, and I look at what I like. Simple as that.

Actually I took the sex position quiz on FB. Made sure that it didn't show up on my page though, especially because my sister is on there, and we know alot of the same people. I didn't want to embarrass her.

LOL, the sole sex quiz by one person that shows up on my feed doesn't bother me. I'll just read it and then hide that particular quiz from showing up on my feed again. :)

I'm referring to people who kill 15 minutes (aka a break) at work and take 15 sex quizzes that show up, one after the other, in succession on my news feed. Good on you for thinking of your sis, by the way. :)

(btw, the "you" below isn't YOU you, it's a general you for the people who are notorious for this on FB. :))

1 - please stop taking them and go get laid. It sounds like you aren't getting enough.
2 - when people tell you to cut it out and you bitch at them to go get laid, chances are you probably need a good lay yourself.
3 - when did FB get so ****ing X-rated?!! I am a firm believer in abolishing all non-Facebook applications and quizzes, and bringing FB back to what it was like when I signed up, circa early 2006. ;) If they're not gonna do away with allowing non-FB applications/quizzes, they could at least impose an age restriction on designing/taking said applications/quizzes. (wow, that was a mouthful, sorry) Or at least make it easy to report the damned application/quiz for being offensive. I've tried that before and gave up when I couldn't find the right place to report it. Bull****.

yeah I hate that too. I also hate when I'm talking to somebody on AIM, and they sign off and go to bed or something when I'm about to IM them.
