Crimmsy's first post - nothing to see here, folks

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Hi.

After a good two years of lurking on these here boards, I’ve decided to take the big step of actually registering, so I guess I’ll briefly introduce myself. I’m a 22 year old product of Northern Ontario now living (for the moment) on the tropical shore of Lake Ontario. I keep busy by skiing, riding my bike and racing triathlons. I studied electrical engineering in university but I’m not employed in that field.

'Round here, I lurk everywhere but GD - in real life I’m a pretty quiet sort and online I keep pretty quiet as well but I’ll throw in my two cents occasionally.

Peace

:slight_smile:

That other newbie SpiceTea had a goat.
Don’t you have a goat?
Welcome anyway.

3

Gee… no goat. If only I had known :frowning:
Maybe I can make it up somehow - here’s my one-eyed dog, Caesar.

4

Caesar is one…interesting dog.
This is The Dope. Here you don’t get the goat, the goat gets you!

Get in line…no shoving.

Ed! Where’s that spare goat we ordered? Get it up to Processing pronto!

5

Sweet, another Canadian. We’re slowly taking over…

Now where’s that evil cackling smilie?

6

GAHHHH!!! A jock!
:eek:
Back! Back, you fiend!
This board is for socially dysfunctional nerds only!
…

Heh.
Welcome, welcome. Come in. Why don’t you take a seat, say, oh, over there? Yeah, sit there. No, there. Yup, a little to the right. Perfect.
Now hang on a sec.
:smiley:

Dang, it’s been busy around here – the goat is definitely starting to get a little cranky – let’s start with the calamari, shall we?

Welcome, Crimmsy! Just leave Caesar out here with your belt and shoelaces, and we can get started…

8

Welcome, Crimmsy, eh?

Don’t worry about being goatless. I’m sure the calamari will be quite sufficiently… interesting.

All the same, if your dog likes to promenade with you, that might not be such a bad idea.

And there’s a DopeFest (an informal gathering) in Toronto on the 11th of December if you’re interested! :slight_smile:

Sir,

Your OP clearly states in the title that there is “nothing to see here”. Yet when I opened up your thread, I could see all these words and stuff, plain as day. Just what are you trying to pull, anyway?

Yours in confusion,

E_K

I can’t lie to you - I’m sure this is the first time in my life anyone’s called me a jock. Been called lots of things -

  • but never “jock” :slight_smile:

Sir,
I suppose you’re right; my title was a bit misleading. Just trying to keep modest, I guess - I thought it was more a more appropriate title than, say, “Crimmsy: Best Thing To Happen To The Straight Dope Since Cecil” :smiley:

Don’t worry though, I’ll be undergoing Thread Title Reeducation just as soon as I finish up with the goats…

12

Or they finish up with you, or however that is phrased… :slight_smile:

13

Today, we Canadians take the SDMB. Tomorrow, the world!

Now, where did that tub of calamari go…?

14

You Canadians have already tried with that awful Celine Dion business.
Lets not go there again.
Your government has done enough apologizing.
…

:stuck_out_tongue:

15

gasp Them’s fighting words, pardner!

I challenge you… to a game of… CURLING! A good old-fashioned bonspiel, eh? :stuck_out_tongue:

16

Them are indeed, miss.

Nuts, had to google “curling” and “bonspiel”.
Wow, Canadians play lawnbowling on ice?

*sniggers
:smiley:

17

Don’t make me bust out the toque, buddy… :wink:

Okay some one break out that quote about welcoming our new overlord/lady again , we have an other on board.

Oh yeah , the Goat has to be returned to the rental company , other wise we forfeit the security deposit.

What do you mean, nothing to see - it’s another Canadian. Yeeeeayyy!

Interesting looking dog, Ceasar is. I bet he’s a great friend!

Wecome aboard.
