There was nobody quite like old Henry, and I miss having him around here. I mean in non-AK threads obv.

Current cider: Somersby, produced in Croatia by Carlsberg. At $2/4pack at a nearby liquor store, it was worth a try.

Sweet, but not too sweet. A Granny Smith sort of flavor. I drank it over ice and it feels almost like drinking some sort of apple wine cooler.

Somersby is tasty, certainly a bit sweet. It's a popular one as well, I've seen it in a lot of different places.

I woke today to find I had killed a mosquito in my sleep. I feel like I leveled up.

Yeah definitely. I actually followed and read the Knox thread just because of him. I don't think he's posted in it in quite awhile though.

The spare room thread was awesome.

You could always make up your own millionaire, non-denim wearing, limit hold'em losing, socializing, elitist internet poster.

Henry is the ****, love him or hate him.

What made him so great? The obvious lies?

I don't know but here we are talking about him and it's been at least 2 years since he participated in any threads here other than the AK one.

I never found him to be interesting, not sure why. He has posted in BFI about internet/seo/technology topics and it was like he just cancelled AOL for the first time level of simple-mindedness.

I found his posts on relationships and dating pretty good for the most part

Same I found his act as tiresome as other trolls. He wasnt at troll by common definition obviously and I encouraged him to post but it was more cause others really liked it.

henry is one willfully obtuse mofo.

Henry was an obtuse mofo. Easy to seem smart about dating when a third of the people were PUA and another third were doormats.

I like Poker Reference

Life advice threads are like bat signals For Henry.

The connection between Henry, Poker Reference, and Rafiki, I've never been exactly sure of.

Rafiki is now a very solid poster, def best of the three.

PR and Henry are dating/partners. I didn't know there was a Rafiki connection to them.

LOL celebrity ghoul

I believe Rafiki is an irl friend/acquaintance of Henry.

I need to learn how to use my phone.

Rant incoming.

My sister-in-law loves to drop names of people I've never met in my life, mostly as a conversation starter. For some reason this gets acompanied with a certain smugness. It goes something like this:

"Yeah, John and Allie have recently upgraded their car." The names John and Allie are being mentioned casually, like one might say 'I bought a new car, nothing special, just a Ferrari.'

Then she looks at me with anticipation. Will he ask me who they are? I sure will.

Cue the sigh, like I'm some sort of clueless idiot, before revealing these are colleauges of hers at her previous job. Then I'll never hear of these people again.

She does this every time I see her and it's mindboggling. Another example. When friends of her get a child she loves to refer to the child with its name, never introducing it as a child.

So today she said: "Will sleeps with Corey in bed." Now Corey I know; that's a friend of my brother and I met her years ago. But who on earth is Will? Her kid apparently.

This frustrates me to no end, and I have no idea why one should do this. Does she think she's not interesting enough or something?

My buddy Tom Cruise is over and both of us were a bit confused about the way you said "drop names" and then no one famous was in your story. By the end we understood though, so I guess it's alright.

I grew up with some very famous people, some of whom are good friends even today with Tom Cruise.

I don't know, GM, your sister-in-law just sounds strange. That would irritate the heck out of me, and I'd probably respond every time she did it by aggressively interrupting midsentence: "Allie? Who is Allie? Do I know her? Please, do tell!"

I'd just stop asking who these unknown people are. Doesn't sound like you'd be missing much. If she needs a response, say "that's fascinating!" or something.
