    Type something you want to search in the search field and click on "search with a guide" and they'll help you find what you're looking for.

    The fun in this are the conversations you have with the guides (it can be a guy or a chick)... Be creative people. :D

    I found a guy that would actually chat....lol...boring convo though...

    Status: Looking for a guide ...
    Status: Connected to guide: MichaelV
    MichaelV: Welcome to ChaCha!
    You: hey michael
    MichaelV: How are you doing tonight?
    You: i'm pretty good, kind of tired...i gotta be to work in 6 hours...how about you?
    MichaelV: Well I'm still at work technically, but other then that I'm doing pretty good.
    You: lol
    MichaelV: So what can I help you with tonight?
    You: who is the best center in the NBA?
    You: would you say Yao Ming?
    You: i think so
    MichaelV: I'm not too sure. I don't follow basketball.
    You: aww
    You: that sucks
    MichaelV: HAHA i havent even watched tv since the super bowl last year
    You: ouch
    You: i don't have time to anymore
    MichaelV: Why do you need to know the best center?
    You: oh, i don't really need to know...i was just testing the site out, cuz it seems pretty cool,. and i thought i would ask something random
    You: lol
    You: thanks
    MichaelV: Yeah, you can't really rely too much on the people because they get all of their information from search engines and all of that good stuff.
    You: the guides do?
    MichaelV: So if you asked a question like that to a basketball fan, it would most likely come down to personal choice rather than statistically.
    You: yeah that's true
    You: statistically, yao is the best center by far
    You: i mean, it's not even close
    MichaelV: Yea. The guides take the seekers question, and make a search for the best possible answers.
    You: it's too bad that he broke his leg
    You: do you know anything about broken legs michael
    MichaelV: I didn't know that.
    MichaelV: Well I know that they're no fun.
    You: lol
    You: i know a little bit, cuz i'm in training to become an x-ray tech
    MichaelV: I broke my leg riding my bike years back. I was a BMX dirt kind of guy and would try freestyle on the jumps.
    You: sweet
    You: my friends used to do that
    MichaelV: It's definately dangerous. Kinda why I stopped. Wasn't too good and kept getting hurt lol.
    You: i never broke my leg...just my ulna
    You: almost got my radius also....greenstick fracture...those suck
    MichaelV: I'm not too sure what that is but ouch anyways.
    You: lol...my forearm
    MichaelV: Hhaha ok.
    MichaelV: I'm really sorry but I'm not supposed to be chatting like this. I think I could get in trouble.
    You: that's fine
    You: thanks anyways...cool site
    You: i'll give you a good rating
    MichaelV: Hhaha thanks.
    MichaelV: =)
    MichaelV: Thank you for using ChaCha!

    I love this.

    In honor of adeel:


    Status: Looking for a guide ...
    Status: Connected to guide: JenniferB
    JenniferB: Welcome to ChaCha!
    You: how's it going jenn
    JenniferB: Hello, how can I help you?
    You: do you mind if i call you jenn?
    JenniferB: It is going very well for me.
    JenniferB: No that is not a problem.
    You: awesome
    You: i was just wondering, if i have a chapped rectum, would ky jelly be best to use, or vaseline? can you find me any searches on that?
    You: i'm being serious too
    You: i'm sorry it's random and kind of perverted
    JenniferB: Neither would be good to use.
    You: really?
    You: why not?
    JenniferB: Neither would take away the symptoms.
    You: i thought they would help, cuz you know, like when boxers get cuts on their eyes, they put vaseline on them...
    You: what would be good?
    You: it hurts
    You: sorry...that's a little weird
    JenniferB: If it is infected you would probably want to use a neosporin type product.
    JenniferB: Or a diaper rash cream.
    You: oh okay
    JenniferB: If it is just chapped and raw
    You: how would i tell if it's infected?
    You: should i see a doctor?
    You: i'm sorry if this is too personal
    JenniferB: Do you mind if I ask what caused the problem?
    You: umm...well, it's kind of embarassing if you get my drift
    JenniferB: When I get raw or sore after rough sex I use Desitin. It is just a diaper rash cream but it helps. It is medicated.
    You: oh...thank you for the advice
    You: yeah, it was just a little too rough
    You: lol
    You: sorry
    JenniferB: That is ok.
    JenniferB: Things happen.
    JenniferB: Is there anything else I can help you with?
    You: thanks jenn...hopefully i can sit with ease now
    You: nope, i think we're good...i'm going to the store now
    JenniferB: Hopefully.
    JenniferB: Have a good night.
    You: thanks, you too
    JenniferB: Thank you for using ChaCha!

    This is just too easy. The convos kind of make me seem weird though. It's easy to bait girls into those things though. :)

    KimberlyF: Ok
    You: i lost a pair of my girlfriend's underwear....what should i do?
    You: i have nobody to ask, cuz i'm too embarrassed
    KimberlyF: go buy her another pair and say I;m sorry
    You: and i head about this website, and i figured maybe it would provide a little privacy
    You: but she doesn't know that i had been wearing them
    You: it's really embarassing
    KimberlyF: ohhh I see
    KimberlyF: are they generic panties...or are they something really unique
    You: what do i say when she asks where her purple polka dots went?
    KimberlyF: I dunno....it wasn't me...
    You: well, they're like the lacy, boy shorts things...purple with polka dots
    KimberlyF: ohhh
    You: really nice looking pair
    KimberlyF: well...do you know where she bought them?
    You: they looked real good on her...and me too
    KimberlyF: I'm sure they did
    You: no, i don't
    KimberlyF: why did you lose them?
    You: i have no idea where they went....
    KimberlyF: oh ok
    KimberlyF: I would just play dumn
    KimberlyF: dumb
    You: i sort of got them dirty while i was wearing them, and went to wash them, and i couldn't find them
    You: sorry if that is too much info
    KimberlyF: Ok...
    You: i mean, do you think victoria's has anything like that?
    KimberlyF: well...maybe you should go to walmart or somewhere and see if you can find a pair that looks similar...maybe by two...one for her and keep one back for yourself for those special occasions
    KimberlyF: yah
    KimberlyF: victorias might
    KimberlyF: I could sen dyou a link
    You: nah, that's okay
    You: i think i'll just go check it out tomorrow
    You: and maybe they'll have something i like too
    You: something i could keep for just me, you kow?
    You: know*
    You: but you just think i should try and find another pair and not tell her?
    KimberlyF: This link says they have purple polka dot boy shorts
    KimberlyF: no...I think you should just leave it alone.....
    KimberlyF: just play dumb....
    You: okay, i think i'll try that then...not even look for anymore?
    You: maybe she won't even notice
    KimberlyF: probably not
    You: okay, cool
    You: thanks kim

    MilesC: I see
    You: I would have bought him a ticket to six flags but he can't get on the rides
    MilesC: Yes, that wouldn't be a good gift.
    You: I was thinking maybe an Ipod
    You: but he already has one
    You: maybe a nano
    You: you know because he is small
    MilesC: Yes, an Ipod is a great gift these days
    You: yea, but i think its too obvious of a gift
    You: do dwarfs read special type of books?
    MilesC: Not that I am aware of.
    You: he gets pissed off if i call him a midget
    You: he's not angry all the time, but just sometimes
    You: what about a lawnmover?
    MilesC: Another good idea.
    You: but what if he isn't tall enough to push it
    MilesC: Yes, that would be a problem indeed.
    MilesC: How about something with technology?
    You: like what?
    MilesC: Here are some links.
    You: hmm, slingbox..is that some sort of slingshot
    You: I really dont see the school children using slingshots with rocks anymore these days
    You: where I live they have guns, and pistols

    MilesC: Slingbox works with a Tivo if he has one.

    MilesC: Sounds like a fun party
    You: I'm fresh out of ideas, but i'll investigate further
    MilesC: Yes, check out the links I have sent you.
    You: i might just get him a top notch hooker and some weed
    You: i dont drink or smoke, but weed is ok for others i guess
    You: I really appreciate your help miles
    MilesC: No problem, we are here to help.
    You: ok take care

    LOL I told the guy I was joking and this is the convo we had:


    You: hello
    mikef: hello
    mikef: what type of information are you looking for?
    You: im looking for methlab setup that won't blow up my trailer home
    mikef: That information might be blocked on this system. Let me give it a whirl
    mikef: Jacks Meth Lab looks the best, most links are abou the destruction and clean up
    mikef: Is there anything else on this topic I can find for you today?
    You: oh that's fine thx!
    You: this was a joke btw
    You: where are you guys located?
    mikef: I know, but i have to be courteous and try to help the searcher
    mikef: I have been through just about all of it.
    You: really? that sucks...
    mikef: No it doesn't
    You: what's the funniest/wtf thing you've never heard?
    mikef: I get paid the longer you draw me out until 10minutes
    mikef: A really funny
    You: haha for real
    mikef: for real
    You: sweet, i'll draw you out for 10 mins then
    You: and give u a good rating
    mikef: A guy put in the word "brick"
    mikef: I asked him to be more specific
    mikef: He said he was looking for a red brick.
    mikef: I asked if he wanted info on it or he wanted to find out about purchasing them
    mikef: He said he arleady bought the brick
    mikef: I asked why he was searching brick then.
    You: lol
    mikef: He said I want you to find it for me because he thinks the naughty man took it
    You: i mean what would honestly happen if you said something like "what the hell is wrong w/ you?"
    You: haha
    mikef: I said ok, and I began to send him photos of bricks and asked him if each photo was the brick.
    mikef: I also searched for mean men and asked if he recognized any of them
    mikef: I don't care what I search for but I gotta search.
