A [b]proper[/b] (sorta) introductory thread, for once

ok, i’ve seen some threads that involve peeps introducing themselves, but here’s one that’s actually dedicated to it and that will (hopefully) clear up confusion between us all. To be fair, i’ll start (of course)

I’m a female tabby cougar-wannabe cat, currently residing in Hsinchu, Taiwan. i like to get on the internet whenever i can, which is usually when the Little Boy leaves it on and goes do something else (which is fairly often). my favorite sites are the SDMB (duh) and Neopets, and some of my favorite posters are Scylla, Crunchy Frog, Fenris, Esprix, and FairyChatMom (those are the first five i can think of). Your turn :slight_smile:

ps. add more categories if you like… rubs paws in anticipation

damn, never noticed that you couldn’t do vB on a thread title. :frowning:

Hi, Cougarfang.

My pic isn’t up on the People Pages, but if you want to see what I look like, tune in to America’s Most Wanted next week.

When I’m bored I go to the barber shop and watch them give haircuts. That always cranks me up.

I was in Taiwan once.

Or was it New Jersey? I disremember.

Hello there. I’m a blue-skinned anime-type female. Keep those tentacles away from me! Hentai…

I’m from New York. (State, not city)

I hang out here and on the snopes boards. Other than that my time online consists of wandering randomly, complaining that with a billion pages on the internet, one of them should be entertaining.

I have a tendency to dance around like a lunatic and sing off key when I think no one is watching. Except sometimes someone is. :o

bump

Daikona, i can’t believe that someone so different-looking can be so much like me. except that i complain that there are trillions of pages. :smiley:

Hi. Newbie here.

I’m a 29 year old Tasmanian (that little island at the bottom of Australia). Uhh, what else…tell you what, if you want to know anything else, feel free to ask.

Newbie 2. From Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Like: green hair, blue houses, cats, John Dickson Carr, Dorothy Parker, Ab Fab, being depressed and sit in my bed with a blankie over my head eating chocolate.

Dislike: diamonds and gold [common], going to the dentist, pretentious and intolerant people, great hights and spiders.

Goeiedag! :slight_smile:

Welcome, newbies! don’t forget to have fun here, cos you’re gonna spend way too much time here anyway! :smiley:

Dang, I’ve never been called a favorite poster before - and in such a company of luminaries. Cougarfang, may I say you show excellent taste and discernment, and you are obviously quite intelligent… who am I trying to kid - I’m flattered and I’m glad you enjoy these random spewings. No need to grovel - really - don’t bother with the rose petals at my feet… it’s not necessary to gift me with expensive chocolates delivered by well-oiled scantily clad young studs… no, really, that’s way too much…

:smiley:

:smiley: takes a bow

of course, the studs are also bearing the bill for all this…

d&h

Why is Cascade beer so tasty, yet so hard to find?

Okay, I had to use a dictionairy to figure that one out. Anyhoo, where are you in Taiwan and what are you doing? I lived in Taipei for 3 years (nanmen shichang and all over jingmei), but maybe that was before you were born. :eek:

Cool! I love cats. Greetings, kitty, kitty! Actually, I love reading your posts, because I think the cat references are cute.

But… I have this --well-- this thing for wanting to dress all cats in little pink tutus. Tabbies, especially.

They really do look so cute like that!

Just letting you know in advance. :smiley:

China Guy, i’m in Hsinchu and i’m just being a nice little tabbycat for the Big Girl and her family… the only problem with that is that the Little Boy often takes me in for show and tell, science projects, and the like. but i put up with that for my daily catnip fix (mmmmm… catnip… :D)

takes another look at thread complacently

does a doubletake

pink tutus? PINK TUTUS?

hurriedly runs to secret trapdoor and hides

i HATE pink tutus… shiver, shiver

:smiley:

One red and gold dragon here. Talons a foot long and wickedly curved. Married, for the time being, packing around a blond, blue eyed dragonet of the male gender. I live in that great unknown called Utah in the Western US. (I had a customer service person back east ask me once if Utah was in the continental US :rolleyes:
Hmmm what else ??? I have a degree in History, one in anthropology and am working on one in photography… obviously I havent decided what I want to be when I grow up…
My son and I think Samurai Jack rules!

China Guy…

Because Boags Premium is a better drop. I don’t actually know where either of the breweries export to. But, then again, I’m female so to me, beer is just beer.

Hi, I am more a disembodied concept more than a manifest entity, but both of the Olethlings[sup]TM[/sup] think that they are cats. And babyboykitty is a huge Samurai Jack fan as well. Tonight they were eating popcorn from a bowl on the kitchen floor. On all fours, of course. They often sing and speak in cat language, and if I want to know what they are talking about I have to ask one of them to translate. The boy also sometimes imagines himself as Batman, Zorro, Dora the Explorer (he has gender issues at times), Thomas, and one of the Powderpuff Girls. The girl has pretty much stayed in cat mode since age 2, although her “baby” is a bunny.

We live near the infamous Rue DeDay and will possibly go by his house to Trick-or-Treat for wienies. The Olethlings[sup]TM[/sup] were both born in Ohio but believe that they are from Switzerland and that I am from Germany. We moved back to the US from Thailand in June of this year.

When I am not on the boards or cat wrangling I can be found playing soccer, fantasy football or volleyball. Sometimes I work, but try not to make a habit of it.

In June of next year I will take another tour through Asia to watch the World Cup. If any of my flights come through Taipei I can try and bring some catnip.

Hey, Cougarfang

Chrome Spot from the wilds of deepest, darkest Jersey. When I see a cat, I always say “Puss-Puss Kitty-Kitty.” I am a dog person, but a cat will do in a pinch.

I am mostly the mindless pointless type. I don’t overpost (Or do I? Tell me people: are you seeing too much of me?)

I look in the pit to see why people are so unhappy. I go to Cafe Society to see what folks are interested in. I am an internet news junkie: every morning I hit the Nando Times and The Philadelphia-area news site, news.philly.com.

Hope to see your posts again soon.

Thanks, ShibbOleth. hey, you can make a thread of what the Olethlings are saying, and i can try to translate :smiley: Meow means hello, meow means goodbye, meow means yes, meow means no… :slight_smile:

Hi Chrome Spot. no, you don’t overpost (unlike me :D)… i hardly ever see you on the boards :frowning: well, hope to see you again soon too!
