Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Just discovered this beautiful song; this woman has some serious pipes! I play it for my wife and young son and tell them, grandly, it's about me.
Junior isn't having anything to do with that. He says it's about God.
I sure do love those two. 😃
Sorry for the Tock: tonight’s full moon

Absolute California insanity...
This is the kind of bs squatters do in California.
Insane gypsy woman rents AirBNB room in a house and then won't leave...Police are called out SEVERAL TIMES A DAY - EVERY day!!!!
She has a history of doing this squatting thing for YEARS - is known to the police by her first name...The Vietnamese owner of the house endures so much abuse...and finally - gets his crazy white friend to finally deal with the situation...
I'd imagine the damage this woman has done over the years - not to mention all the welfare etc - in the tens of MILLIONS of tax dollars wasted...
Sorry...but this guy has WAY more patience than me...I don't think I could have exercised that much restraint.
At least watch part 4...
Parts 1-4:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
"Gypsy" is considered a pejorative. The preferred term is "Romani".
Lol, I watched a few minutes of the last one. Good vibes. I can get behind a guy calling himself Asian Andy - that's a good hang.
I listen to Adam Carolla's podcast so, sadly, I'm already pretty familiar with this craziness in Cali.

The U.S. national debt now exceeds 100% of gross domestic product, crossing a once-unthinkable threshold, on the way toward breaking the record set in the wake of World War II.
This administration has completely blown up the national debt, just like they did in 2017 to 2021.
I have heard many people talk about this. In particular I have found that one group of people almost salivating at the idea that doom is imminent and they can feel vindicated somehow.
I cant believe the disappointment they must feel when they realise that this is a carefully planned controlled demolition executed with precision, right under the eyes of the enemy, to switch us out of the beast system into a free world.
However the future might be, the Milestone was reached and noted. Praying for a better tomorrow for all of Humanity.
Pepe test. Stand by.
Edit: whew.
For days beyond count now, I haven't been sleeping well. My cortisol levels have been hitting the roof, and my family began to comment on my haggard looks. The stress, yeah, the trauma, has been well nigh unbearable.
Why, you ask? Oh, my pepe. The newly assigned pepe was not the pepe I was looking for. ("These are not the pepes you are looking for...." <waves hand in jedi gesture of a mind wipe>)
What a wilderness of unpepeness I have had to cross. In the words of that old, heartful spiritual:
Where, oh where has my pepe frog gone? Oh where, oh where can he be? With his shades so cool and his shirt so blue, oh where, oh where can he be?
Yes, little did I realize, how much he and I had become attached. We have become like the proverbial two sides of the same coin. My true pepe has become, nay IS, my alter ego, my mantra, my online Artemis II (kek) for sojourning through the distant and lofty halls of the Greatawakening dot win.
Oh, how little did I understand, until that fateful day when.... he was gone. When ... <wipes a tear> I was gone. I arose one morning, logged in to The Board, and found I had been transformed into a weird and foreign reincarnation, a medieval frog of sorts, a new personality.
Yes, the ordeal was palpable. "Is this really me?" I would ask. Am I this? Is this who I am? Why do I feel so disconnected, almost alienated from my true, inner frog (as per the (evil) Marxist doctrine which exploits lesser emotions and fears)? Is this some bad trip I am on? What sort of psyop devilry is this?
And, where once I felt resilient, popcorned up to the eyeballs, all of a sudden my world was dashed to pieces. I looked in the mirror and no longer recognized myself. Is this really who I am? Oh, wake me from the nightmarish upheaval!!!
SPDS is not a joke, and OPIDS is worse
Those of you who have suffered from SPDS know what I am talking about. Sudden Pepe Deficiency Syndrome is not a laughing matter. And, sure, maybe your pepe has been replaced or augmented with another frog (albeit not of your making or choosing), but in terms of what once was, you know that you have been unburdened by what has been. You graduated SPDS and went into full-blown OPIDS.
Me? I held on, each day, hoping it was all a bad dream. I tightened my froggy belt, and determined I must seek out the reigning Modgods on Mt. GAW Olympus. What, oh what, oh why? My pepe? Huh? Who did this? In those importal words of Tudor: "Help me, Mr. Wizard!!!"
But today a new dawn has broken. The world is somehow back to normal. My popcorny self has returned, and the fever dream is broken. My alter-ego, my true inner self, has been restored. Praise Kekdom. I can once again heave a sigh of relief.
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, they say. And yes, I came this close <gestures whisper thin> to an ignoble, OPIDS death. I think it fair to say that only strong faith in Kek and the resilient camaraderie of my fellow GAW frogonians kept me alive. Yes, miracles can happen. I am indebted to you all.
TLDR: I'm back, baby!
Note: I am not without compassion. I understand that for those of you who were newly outfitted with your new GAW pepe, the sudden reversal of fortunes may tempt you down the road of despair. But be strong, and of good faith. Pepe comes to those who persevere, overcome, and rise victorious. Your day will surely come, again. Mods willing.
Until that day, I remain, Ironically, Fractalizingly, yours.
OPIDS: Original Pepe Identity Deficiency Syndrome
Ty fren. Spoken beautifully for this wonderful friday morning
Nobody talks about the pepeless population :/
I'm siding with the thief lol
Until, one fine day…the Mods create a Pepe just for you. Then a warm feeling runs through your frog legs and up your body. A smile prevents itself and you feel a sense of pride. You look at your Pepe Avatar and think - nice hair bow, cute curls and my lips - noice. And then you realize you have to shave your legs because you’re wearing a skirt. But alas…you fine frog have arrived.
Well, careful what you wish for guys 😂
You might just get it
The first round I did…Now I am Ninja Pepe!
I'm completely jealous of your IRA pepe, if I can get one with an eye patch or an RPG. Or maybe a lil pepe with his tongue out, or snake eyes, or dice, or the Simpsons character. So many cool snakes.
Would prefer if it's NOT oroboros. I'm a beginning and end type of guy.
Thank you Snake … it means a lot. I’m so praying for you to get the Pepe of your dreams!
Some are born to pepe, others achieve pepe, and still others have pepe thrust upon them. ~ Kekvolio, in Shakespeare's "Twelfth Post", Act II, Scene 5.
Kek! Shakespeare would love this!
TY
PS. If you want to see my "Shakespeare theme" Q memes (from 2018/2020) just run a search for "Shakespeare" in the community search. (Take care to use the capitalization.)
You'll find 4 of the memes in separate posts, towards the bottom of the page of search results.
Thanks Wordsmith 👑...will do!
I was low level laughing at all of this. Thanks. 🤗
I am medium level laughing at this.
YOU!
You have my Pepe. Give. Him. Back.
NOW!
Oh, Uncle. Just for you, I wrote this post. How the fortunes have been twisted.
Nay, good uncle, this pepe is, was, and always has been FI. You'll noticed his diminished form, unlike the (somewhat, imo) oversized version that you had acquired, and quite humorously entitled the Ray Charles pepe.
No more could I divest myself of my true, original pepe than I could endow you with your newly desired one. But, prays to the modgods on Mount GAW Olympus have been known to generate miracles.
May it be even so with you.
<bows head in reverence>
Fren, your posts have brightened my morning. You a funny and well spoken frog!

hey there...i was looking for your post! it seems now that the tide has turned for our PM's, with silver just now popping up over $77.31/oz...Praise the LORD!
Yes,hopefully i am eating well in retirement soon.
Does anyone honestly think all of this or most of this will go on until America's 250th birthday? Like Iran for example and the rising gas price? IIRC, President Trump said he wanted a year long celebration going into America's 250th birthday. I doubt people will be wanting to celebrate when gas is at $5 or higher as most people tend to travel for Independence Day, especially to Mt. Rushmore as I believe that's where President Trump wanted the fireworks to be at?
Did GAW go through a space-time bubble?
An alternate reality?
Trans warp conduit?
My Ray Charles Pepe has vanished without a trace. I barely got to enjoy his vibe.
I am back to my former same self, the Surprised Pepe.
And I am surprised.
Ray Charles Pepe cannot mediodenturally foster a lightbulb.
Very important.
I think this one suits you. Kek.
With respect and madness, faceless K.
Trans phase is correct sir
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Sorry.
Back to the Future.
Hmmm....
