In sharp contrast to my total disbelief in the existence of Kama, I'd like to say that I have pretty good reason to believe that Pod does exist. And here's why.

He lives in America. Not some sort of mythical location(like Poland )

Not only are there pictures of him, but there are pictures of him with other Hatrackers. Witnesses always help.

He dates a Hatracker.

Leto tells me he's seen and met Pod in person. And since I've met Leto in person, logic dictates that Pod must exist. Otherwise all my truths are shattered and I must then contemplate the reality of my own existence.

Belief in Pod is much easier. I don't like to think when I don't have too.

I too, have met Pod. He's real, I've even served as his chauffer for a night.

Yup, Pod's the real deal.

Well Kama(if that's your real name) let me just say that I'd be willing to volunteer to help you prove your existence to the rest of us.

For the sake of clearing up this confusion of course.

I'm thinking Pod may exist now...especially with Jaiden claiming him.

It helps to have someone claim you.

North America or US America? And if I fail that one does that mean that I don't exist? And if I don't exist does that mean Pod doesn't exist?!? And if Pod doesn't exist and has pics with other hatrackers does that mean they don't exist too?????

*gets very confused*

I'm doing rather more than dating Mama Squirrel, but I don't know if that counts as evidence, since I claimed her existence before she became a member. Although considering how many people met her at Endercon, and the assumed existence of Mooselet (whom many people also saw at Endercon), I'd think there's at minimum a preponderance of evidence as to my existence, even if not "beyond a reasonable doubt." Either that, or there is a horrendously large number of people involved in the conspiracy, and I have neither the time nor the inclination to keep up that many aliases.

Before I met Pod, I can honestly say I didn't believe in him. I mean, who can believe in a Pod that you hear about from others, yet the glaring fact that he never contacted me personally stared me straight in the face.

Then I met two young men in white shirts, ties and name tags. They introduced me to Pod, at a barbeque I hosted during EnderCon, and my life has never been the same.

Pod is a caring, loving and real Pod. Pod always showed me he was there for me, that he was aware of my feelings, that he understood my foibles and shortcomings.

Now I live my life knowing deep down in my hear that Pod is there for me when I need him.

Many people who don't believe in Pod will miss out. I'm praying they'll come to Pod before they die.

Jaiden, too many questions.

Didn't you see my comment about thinking up there?

but lets think about this. Pod may still exist, and you might just be his imaginary girlfriend.

Strider's only a few years younger than I am (I'm 27 for two more weeks), and I know he's real enough, because we just hung out a couple days ago.

That is, unless the "visions" are starting to come back...

Kama, 23. It's probably my immaturity and infantile humor that had you confused.

Jaiden, I'll let it slide this time. But next time my mind has to start doing calculations you're in trouble!

If given infinite time a room full of monkeys could write Shakespeare. I'd say five monkeys could pose as all you hatrackers. This is kind of demeaning because I've been proven wrong by so many of you.

Also you monkeys are very apt at writing AIM conversations, or do you have a special department that writes all kind of sentences in anticipation for my questions?

I believe that Pod exists, but you raise some interestig questions regarding Jaiden.

She is from Canada, which we all know is barely a country. Has anyone ever been more than twenty miles into Canada? Didn't think so.

As Papa Moose pointed out in AIM chat, she had the same font as Cedrios. Coincidence? I think not.

It is reported that Pod is dating her, but couldn't he have made her up in order to cover up his relationship with Ced? A lot of us have multiple screen names, I could have a whole harem here if I wanted to.

I've never seen her.

Pod almost never posts anymore, perhaps not to draw attention to his make believe girlfriend?

I think Jaiden, if that is her real name, and if she is not a Cedrios clone, has a lot of explaining to do.

Five is a low estimate. For instance, it has taken three of us to write this one post alone. We're thinking of quitting, though. Frisco thinks that a peanut butter and jelly sandwich a day is a good wage. What a jerk.

I've been more than 20 miles into Canada. But I don't think I exist, so I'm not sure I count.

One time, I thought I went to Mexico, but it turned out that I had just wandered into the "South of the Border" resort in South Carolina. I'm inclined to believe that you just wandered into Minnesota.

Nope. I crossed the Ambassador bridge and everything. Multiple times. They checked my birth certificate.

I also went through the tunnel a couple times.

I went to places like Stratford and Toronto, as well as places like Boblo Island (oh, how I miss that lovely amusement park) and Wheels Inn.

And all the signs were in metric!

But, like I said, I don't exist, having never met another Hatracker.

Oh and if you look at her profile, it says she's from London, Ont, Canada.

Now I don't know where this "Ont" is supposed to be (possibly a short-hand notation for "front"?), but as everyone knows, London is in ENGLAND not CANADA.

I think the cat is officially out of the bag.

You know, the fact that Pod has not posted in this thread to reaffirm his existence does not bode well for any of us.

If Jaiden doesn't exist, and he doesn't exist, then who did Leto meet? And then does Leto really exist? Then who did i hang out with?

Or did I hang out with anybody? Am I even posting right now?

Wait...I got it. Maybe we all exist, and it's Hatrack that doesn't exist!

And Destineer. This isn't a Dobie. I don't know what you are talking about. I just wanted people to know that i believe in Pod. It's very important to me.

Everyone knows that Strider is a fictional character from the Lord of the Rings trilogy(which a few of you may have read). Which means that Leto isn't real, rendering his testimony of Pod moot. And the only reason we thought Jaiden was real is because she knew Pod(who is so non-existant that he doesn't even attempt to convince us himself).

It should be noted that in the AIM chat being referenced by Xavier, I made an observation, and asked a question. I never stated a conclusion. And if I had I probably would have used a smilie, and we all know what that means....

True enough, but as was pointed out in that chat conversation, Jeni has met both Ced and I! I was at Endercon! You can see pictures of me! I'm much too pretty and nice to be Ced, aren't I?

You are thinking and planning very far into this whole bit... are you sure you aren't dating Ced and using Pod and I as a cover up???? Hmmmm????

quote:
I've never seen her.

And how do I know you exist, Xavier?

Xavier, I think you are the one who needs to do some explaining!

Every time you use a smilie, an angel gets set on fire.

[edit to add: the cold weather of Wisconsin may cause hallucinations. Furthermore, can anyone prove that JENI exists?]
