Bleeding Heck. My brother's become One of Us

Well, after many months of me telling my brother about this place, and raving on about DopeFests, and the wonderful wonderful Dopers I’ve met ;), the little brother (well, not so little really - he’s taller and bigger than me, and can pick me up and run around the room with me!) has finally decided to join up.

So, if you see a poster called Insaney around, that’ll be him. He’s nice enough really, and well, he’s about as insane as me!

Quick, BritDopers! Hide those photos! :wink:

Welcome to the SDMB, Insaney. It’ll be good to see you around. :slight_smile:

oh good Lord, who’s he gonna flirt with then? I dunna if Garius can take two of you on at once, although it’d be interesting to find out at the next dopefest!

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!

Who says I’ll be flirting with garius? :wink:

Oh, and Tir, no biting…

Insaney, be welcome. Enjoy your stay.

Welcome Insaney! I hafta warn you though, once you’re here, you can never leave!

I can second the “unable to leave” bit, I wandered in here months ago because there was an offer of free food or something. Then I had one too many Scylla threads . . . or maybe it was Wang-Ka . . . and now I can’t find the door.

Or the alleged buffet damnit!!!

So welcome to the asylum, Insaney!

Straightjackets are on your right, Thorazine shots on your left, and absolute madness is just behind the little door at the end of the hallway.

Just keep repeating this mantra to yourself and everything will be fine:

“Don’t mock me my friend. It’s a condition of mental divergence. I find myself on the planet Ogo, part of an intellectual elite, preparing to subjugate the barbarian hordes on Pluto. But even though this is a totally convincing reality for me in every way, nevertheless Ogo is actually a construct of my psyche. I am mentally divergent, in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities that plague my life here. When I stop going there, I will be well. Are you also divergent, friend?”

No, but I do seem to have a slight deflection. :wink:

Angua get on the ICQ after 3pm today. :smiley: And just a little nibble pleasey?

Alas, another avid avatar of… what, no one knows exactly, although if Angua vouches for him, then Insaney must of course be Good People, since our worthy werewolf would never be so crass, so brassy, so brutally obtuse as to introduce into our midst a cad, a wanker, a numbskull, a dweeb, a slimeball, a blithering idiot, a rapaciously rabidly rudely Rabelasian rat (well, perhaps Rabelasian), a steaming heap of llama excrement, or anything remotely resembling the above, no, because Angua, as many of us who gleefully inhabit this frivolity-laden forum well know, is a thoughtful, kind, straightforward, other-good-adjectives-I’m-too-lazy-to-dredge-up Doper, one whom it’s a pleasure, a privilege, and a hoot to know, even though our acquaintance here in cyberspace (though not, alas, in real life, as she resides on the other side of the Big Puddle from your humble tri-cat) is of a shorter duration (so far) than one could wish, given that her sparkling conversation and intelligent musings so charm the spirit, so ease the woes of this sorry world, so brighten and enlighten all who are favored with the grace of her company, whether in person or (as is the case for those of you who read this unworthy screed) only through the ethereal medium of the SDMB, where one may meet people from every corner of this globe – no, wait; a corner of a spherical object doesn’t seem very likely, so let me just say that the denizens of the World Wide Web, wherever they may reside, may find a home, a delightful playground, and an arena for mind-stretching debate in this ongoing search for truth and an antidote to ignorance, though I fear that, for some at least of our members, the run-on sentence may be incurable.

Huh! All this friendly backslapping, all this hail-fellow-well-met, and the shirker doesn’t even show up for his own thread! He’s probably off dusting divinity students in Great Debates. Grumblegrumblegrumble. :stuck_out_tongue:

No chance of getting onto ICQ mate - I’m at the parents’, so limited internet access. And as for nibbling, you can nibble away my dear. :smiley:

Oh, and as for that wayward brother of mine. He’ll be along. Shortly. Once I let him have his computer back! Bwahahaha!! :slight_smile:

How’s his eye?

(I do have the right Insaney, don’t I?)

Angua, in your OP, are you referring obliquely to the scene in Todd Browning’s Freaks, where the assembled Freaks are welcoming Cleopatra the normal-sized aerialist into their community?

If so, let me be the first to welcome Insaney:

  • Gooble gabble one of us!
    Gooble gabble one of us!
    Gooble gabble one of us!..

No. Was I supposed to be? I just figured since he’d joined our little cult, he was officially one of the clan :slight_smile:

He is around. Promise. He says he’ll post tonight once I’ve gone out!

Spectre- you forgot to pass the Loving Cup!

and I thought it was “Gooble gobble” G

Angua, next chance possible, FREAKS is a must-rent if you can find it!

yeah, you’re probably right. I didn’t remember exactly what the Freaks were saying so I just tried to come up with something similar.

Greetings to Insaney!

This a good time to mention that my brother also became a member several months ago, but he has refused to tell me his handle, so even I cannot say when he will strike, beware everybody!

:confused:

Oh.

I thought the thread title was: Bleeding Heck. My brother’s come On to Us.

Thought that was icky.

Never mind. Carry on.

If Insaney doesn’t post here soon to acknowledge the welcoming committee, I say we give him an old-fashioned PITTING!
