Well that blew up in your face.

[Oscar-Rio]

Well that blew up in your face.

what?

[jonoo24]

If you google ~, it comes up with nothing.

[Oscar-Rio]

If you google ~, it comes up with nothing.

...i didn't post the LMGTFY post.

But if you search google like an amateur and type "what is the squiggly line on the keyboard called" it comes up at the top.

[hawkofva]

what?
They seem to think the only way to figure that out is to Google "~", which returns no results.

With minor original thought, you can come up with this. (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Squiggly+thing+on+keyboard)

Edit: Oh fer cryin' out loud, Oscar.

[Oscar-Rio]

it's true, i am that good ;).

[afterstasis]

let me 0/10 that for you.

[Oscar-Rio]

0/10 is applicable in nearly all facets of life. Consider yourself lucky i don't expect to be compensated financially or sexually
for sharing such insightful knowledge.

[hawkofva]

Consider yourself lucky i don't expect to be compensated sexually

Oh come on now, your self esteem should be higher than that. :D

[Oscar-Rio]

I can always use an ego boost. Just grab ahold and jack me up full of that juicy ego i crave.

[Der_Lex]

I somehow read that as 'eggo' and had interesting mental images involving you and waffles. Some of them were tilde-shaped after.

[Oscar-Rio]

Just promise you won't ever leggo my eggo. you mean too much to me, after all. ;)

haha, tilde shaped eggos? If only my photoshop computer were operational right now.

[Sarge51]

As far as I know the key on the keyboard is just called the "tilde key".

I've always called the ~ a "squiggly" though. :D

[Banky71]

"Your search - ~ - did not match any documents. "

:p

[HeyRiles]

Guys I love this band called !!!, Google them, they're great!

[overdriveguitarman]

Guys I love this band called !!!, Google them, they're great!

!!! (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=!!!)

It doesn't give much information, are they a kazoo-only band from The Netherlands?

[afterstasis]

Guys I love this band called !!!, Google them, they're great!

first album was indeed pretty great.

[HeyRiles]

Let's just say it's hard not to get excited about !!!

[afterstasis]

Let's just say it's hard not to get excited about !!!

i dunno. my roommates hated 'em and called them "the exclamation marks".

at least that sounds better than "tilde-tilde-tilde".

[overdriveguitarman]

Let's just say it's hard not to get excited about !!!

Yeah, but they totally sold out after their fourth album

[BuRn7 CaK3]

"Your search - ~ - did not match any documents. "

:p

Yeah see, that's the point I was making. "Google is your friend" "How is Google my friend when it doesn't even come up with anything!"

I obviously know that if you search deeper than what I did, you'll find a meaning of ~. But yeah. :p


Have you tried Googling (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Squiggly+thing+on+keyboard) with a shred of thought?

You obviously missed the joke behind it. :rolleyes:

[Joey-Z]

You guys are using Google (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=We+get+the+joke+already%2C+stop+using+LMGTFY) all wrong.

[DrifterUK]

I call it Robert.

Does that mean you call me Tilde?

[overdriveguitarman]

What happened to my post?

[BuRn7 CaK3]

What happened to my post?

Did you ever notice what me and riles were talking about before it got deleted? It's not something you would want to post on a public forum like this.

[hawkofva]

You obviously missed the joke behind it. :rolleyes:

You obviously were trying to be a smartass and didn't read the thread before you commented. :rolleyes:

[overdriveguitarman]

No I didn't see what you guys were talking about

[jonoo24]

You guys are using Google (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=We+get+the+joke+already%2C+stop+using+LMGTFY) all wrong.

No, i'm pretty sure you're (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=But+it%27s+so+fun!!) the one doing it wrong/,

[BuRn7 CaK3]

You obviously were trying to be a smartass and didn't read the thread before you commented. :rolleyes:
Hey look, you still didn't get it and now your calling me names that aren't true. A joke is a joke, deal with it.

No I didn't see what you guys were talking about
Pr0nz dude. The link you had, had some of that in there.

[hawkofva]

Hey look, you still didn't get it and now your calling me names that aren't true. A joke is a joke, deal with it.Hey, if your idea of a joke is to make yourself look stupid, job well done. I laughed. :D

Pr0nz dude. The link you had, had some of that in there.

Oh crap, good thing I didn't click it. It doesn't actually search it when you make a LMGTFY

[Oscar-Rio]

Hey, if your idea of a joke is to make yourself look stupid, job well done. I laughed. :D

+1 i laughed at this comment.

[bmaninc]

Well that's good and all but your lacking a bunch of things. You say he missed the point, but you never say what actually was the point (in depth, because that does help). You never stated what it was. You never described why he missed the point. All in all, this "post" is the worst post I've ever read.

I changed your post to me in another thread to suit my needs.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

Hey, if your idea of a joke is to make yourself look stupid, job well done. I laughed. :D

Yes, because everyone searches with deep context. Most of the time when people are searching for something, they're going to type in the first thing that comes to mind... which would've been "~" right? Right.

I don't know how it makes me look stupid. But I find it very hysterical that you're getting upset over a link.

[Oscar-Rio]

Yes, because everyone searches with deep context. Most of the time when people are searching for something, they're going to type in the first thing that comes to mind... which would've been "~" right? Right.

wrong. only simpletons do that.

[bermuddy]

Holes was by Louis Sachar. what a terrible reference.

[bermuddy]

well, now my post doesnt make sense.

[hawkofva]

I feel like the guy that was standing to Dick Cheney's right when he shot the dude on his left in the face.
