The other day (ok, like a month ago) I posted something about a crazy night at the bar. Curiously enough someone commented with this:

YourX says:

Since you don’t have a forum area - which you should - my only other resource to help you with your hot bawls is in your comments.

Enjoy!

I didn’t (and still don’t) understand what “hot bawls” and USB beverage coolers have to do with my crazy night at the bar. I responded by commenting that it was probably SPAM and usually my SPAM filter picks that stuff up. To my amazement it was a real person on the other end and they replied with:

YourX says:

Jeffrey, my comment wasn’t spam. Was it?

Wiki says “Spamming an internet forum is when a user posts a message that is off-topic or has little relevance to the subject being discussed, or a post that fails to contribute to the thread. Lastly, there is also the case where a person posts messages solely for the purpose of increasing his forum ranking.”

Wait, I guess it was spam. :)

Love you, kid!

Ok, so I’m dealing with a real person now, and why is their (her?) name “YourX?” Naturally I ask “Who is YourX? The curiosity is killing me. Is YourX really my ex?” And the response is:

YourX says:

Jeff, I can categorically say - yes - I am your ex. Next question please.

P.S. This would be more fun if you had forums.

-YourX

So my next question is what kind of ex are you? ex-roomate? ex-coworker? ex-girlfriend? Oh, and do you live in Texas? To quote a very good George Strait song:

All my ex’s live in Texas
And Texas is the place I’d dearly love to be
But all my ex’s live in Texas
And that’s why I hang my hat in Tennessee

you blog this and not the show? Come on, JK!

From his desk, the superhero hears his curious readers begin to chant “FORUM! FORUM!”

let’s see what YourX has to say then :)

YourX says:

I lived in Texas about 10 years ago. Wow, you are good! :)

Keep it up Sherlock and you may have it figured out in no time flat.

ed says:

There is a reason why people call people their “X’s”. Who is to blame doesn’t matter, they are your “X”. It’s not to many times you hear someone call themselves the “X” to the other person, or to other people. Usually it is reserved for telling your friends when you are talking about the past. Why do we use the letter “X” for the past. According to my daughter “X” marks the spot for buried treasures. To me “X” means what I did not end up with. I don’t know of any girls that I have ever dated that called themselves my “X” though. I guess I now know who the “X” is but why would they not use their name. Are they afraid of someone else knowing that they look at your site. This is a forum to me. I can say anything I want and people can comment.

gbff says:

Ed, put the crack pipe down. NOW!

Jeff says:

well as far as I know, I’ve never dated anyone from Texas. And I do know a girl from Texas, but wouldn’t classify her as an ex-girlfriend. So it’s still a mystery to me.

DeeKay says:

Come on, Sherlock! I am rootin’ for ya!

YourX says:

Ok, next hint. =)

I was close to sleeping with you numerous times, but can’t say I ever “technically” slept with you. Oh, and I’m not sure if you ever knew this, but I slept with one of your guy friends. And now that I think about it, I am pretty sure I slept with one of your girl friends too.

-YourX

Jeff says:

whoa hey now! I’m thinkin I should take this to email. Mom might be reading this.

Was this in jr high, high school, college, or after college?

Right now that comment moderation option is lookin pretty good.

YourX says:

Oops… Did I say a bad word?

-YourX

Jeff says:

sleeping with my guy and girl friends? Yeah, that’s kidna scandalous.

jr high, high school, college, or after college?

YourX says:

College…

Does that help? You were so cute back then. I just wanted to pinch your cheeks all the time. Oh the things I could have taught you…

-YourX

Jeff says:

and we dated?

Jeff says:

1) oh please we never dated! not even close.
2) lies all lies! I was kinda excited for some long lost reunion, not some dumb joke. The whole time I was looking at your IP and thinking to myself, “I only know one dumbass from Delaware, it better not be Katz.”
3) keep your big ass out of my cube before you knock over my fish bowl along with the Staples Easy Button.
4) did you really sleep with a guy and girl friend of mine? I’m hoping that one wasn’t a lie.

YourX says:

1) I never said we “dated”
2) I am not from Delaware and have never lived in Delaware.
3) I personally don’t think I have a “big ass”. At least, it never seemed to bother you before.
4) I really did sleep with a guy and a girl friend of yours - but it might make it easier for you to guess if I tell you the next part of your hint. I slept with them both at the same time. ;)

[Sorry Jeff's mom]

-YourX

Jeff says:

1) “ex” to me insinuates ex-girlfriend. Hence dating.
2) Delaware county?
3) anyone that signs their email katz@ihaterepublicans.com is a giveaway
4) what were the initials of the guy and girl? Cause I’m thinkin of two people and it better not be them.

ed says:

To GBFF.
Put the Crack Pipe down, you have seen me I am just normally that way.
To Jeff.
Someone is playing a game with you but who is your old roommates. Didn’t you live with two people that ended up getting married or that were already married.

Jeff says:

Yes, I used to know a couple that ended up living with me and getting married, but I doubt he slept with either one of them. Personally I think all his (her? who knows) claims are half-truths quarter-truths.

ed says:

They don’t have to “SLEEP TOGETHER” to say sleep together. I had 4 roommates in college and I slept in the same room as them. We even had nights when some of their girls slept over. That doesn’t mean I slept “with” my friends and their girls. Sounds like a game someone is playing and making you think more than you have to.

Jeff says:

yeah, especially since I never “SLEPT WITH ANYONE” in college. Ahh, remember those single beds in college? They say most divorces are caused by arguments over money, but I think that most college breakups are caused by those tiny college beds. They’re like prison beds when you think about it. I didn’t even get a real mattress from Penn State.

ed says:

I actually like those single beds in college. The relationships in college never really lasted long anyway. The girl always had to be on top or on bottom in those beds. Either that or she had to go home. I know that sounds cruel to some people now but think about it. College was supposed to be fun and enjoyed. Most marriages that do have problems are because of money but some are because people did not have enough before they got married. They end up searching for more then they have. Like I said I had four roommates in college. We had a big room. Just imagine when all four of us brought home our girls. Those were college days.

Bill says:

So, if I said, “Your mom is SPAM.” Wouldn’t that, by the above definition, be an example of SPAM? Nothing personal against anyone’s mom, just curious…

YourX says:

I stole my pseudo identity from the following post.

http://www.projectfutility.net/index.php/portmanteaux-and-other-drivel.htm

If you follow the link to “Dave’s weblog” you should find where I got my pseudo identity.

So far, everything has been 100% truth (other than the misleading email addresses and websites).

And why is it that the gay friend is always the first one to take the blame? I feel for you GBFF.

Now, for another hint - you [Jeff: had to edit this out]. You also went dancing with me and one of my boy friends.

-YourX

[Jeff: Sorry I had to edit your comment. It was either that or just plain delete it]

Jeff says:

1) ok, so you’re not Dave Katz?
2) So I guess the big ass comment doesn’t apply cause I was refering to Dave
3) what kind of ex are you? ex-girlfriend? ex-coworker? ex-friend? ex-hookup? ex-drinking buddy?
4) are you male or female?

YourX says:

1) I am not Dave Katz.
2) Thanks :)
3) I am 3 of the 5 you have listed. The challenge is figuring out which ones.
4) The fact that you still question this amuses me. ;p
