Evenin’ all 🙂 Been skulking around the SDMB over the summer but thought I’d pop over and say a proper ‘hello’… I’m a 23 y/old graduate student here in Cambridge, UK - currently trying to find something earth-shatteringly innovative to write about romantic German poetry in the later 1700s. Laugh-a-minute stuff, eh? 😃 Apart from that I know far more than is good for me about early 90s warehouse techno and the collected works of Jackie Chan. I play ‘proper’ football (ie. the version you play with your feet :)) and can’t sing. I’m warming up my Pit skills for my inaugural rant, but for the most part, as a great man once might have said… _Ich bin ein Lurker_ … although I am slowly integrating myself into the wonderful world of the Straight Dope 🙂 – Quirm (who’s currently trying to work out how to apply Goethe’s _Roemische Elegien_ or DJ Nut-E-1’s classic “Give Us Another E!” to a GQ concerning the measurement of gyroscopic force…) ---

Shit, I don’t know if I posted here before, but if I did, I know I didn’t properly introduce myself, so here goes. My name is Jeff, I am currently 25 years of age, I am a Pisces (my birthday is 20th February). I am an airfreight export person, and I work at MAN airport, England. I am engaged to Gemma (have been for 3 years). I love Indiana Jones, Star Wars, any Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorcese films. I like ANY (well nearly any) music. Pearl Jam fans, hey! your my pals. and Hendrix, Pixies, Manics, Blondie, Strokes, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Stone Roses and all sorts of shit. My favourite football (soccer) team is Manchester United. This is A) Because I’m from Manchester (unlike a lot of united fans) and B)“We are the champions”!!!. So there you go. That is my longest ever post. My fingers are sore. I’m going for a sit down. Nurse! ---

**hardygrrl** - Christ, woman! You don’t have to resond to _each individual line of text_. Pick and choose, lady, pick and choose! I was getting a headache trying to read one quoted line, then one of your lines, then one quoted line again, etc. And try to respond with more than one line. It breaks up the visual monotony and makes things a bit easier to read. Take some time to think about what you’re going to say and plan it out. You don’t have to respond as soon as the newbie posts. And keep in mind, these are newbies. They most likely won’t get jokes about my fascination for baseball or your love of hockey, WWF, and Curt Kobain. And where the hell is **Jester**? I thought he wanted in on this. Fuckin’ teenagers nowadays, I swear… Anyway, I have some built up bile left over from a crappy weekend and you all get to feel my wrath, so these newbies get to be welcomed a second time: From **Pygmy Twylyte** : > [@](#): > > \*\*Hmmm, let’s see. For my third ever post, I think I’ll open myself up to some insults. > > 35 yr. old white male lawyer (nay, criminal defense attorney) living in Florida, 4 blocks from beach. Staunch liberal, recently quit smoking (cigarettes), beer drinker, prefers college football to the NFL. Former bass player in rock-n-roll band.\*\* And for my 4,8xx whatever I’m at now post, I will insult you. And oh goody! Look! Easy pickings, he’s a lawyer! How did you miss the lawyer jokes, **hardy**? I’ll get things rolling: What do you call 1000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? Go on now, that’s an easy one. You can pick it up from there… And **Pygmy** , how’s the quitting smoking thing going? I’ve tried a number of times to quit to no avail. You know what I found to take the edge off though when I do try to quit? Heroine. Really mellows me out and calms the cravings for nicotine. If that’s not available and I don’t have the cash for heroine, then I’ve found that nothing takes the edge off quitting better then a cigarette. Wow, I mean that kills the nicotine craving dead right there. And look! He’s a bass player too! Have you heard all the bass player jokes along with the lawyer jokes? How do you tell if the stage is even? The bass player is drooling from _both_ sides of his mouth. How does the bass player get to a party after a gig? He follows the drummer. I’m gonna have fun with you **Pygmy**. More jokes will hit me later and I’ll be back. **terra\_libran** says: > [@](#): > > \*\*Hi! > > I’m a twenty year-old female from the Philadelphia area. I’ve been reading the SDMB since I was just a wee one, but only recently decided that I might potentially have something worthwhile to cyber-yammer every now and again. \*\* 20 year old females… My favorite kind! Too bad you’re in Philly though. Not for you, but for me. I don’t know any Philly jokes. Let me think nof something really quickly… Nope, nothing interesting about Philly to have fun with. Sheesh, why couldn’t you be Amish or something? I could have fun teasing the Amish around here, but for some reason, none of them ever post to the boards… > [@](#): > > **So here I am… hopefully my future posts won’t prove that statement to be a filthy lie. 🙂** What’s a lie, that you’re here? If you’re posting in the future of course that wouldn’t be a lie, cuz you’d be here. It’s so simple if you think about it. Of course you may be thinking about it, but pretty simple yourself. Not a college girl I take it? **Quirm** says: > [@](#): > > **Evenin’ all** Look, buddy, if you’re going to come in here with that kind of attitude, you can turn your happy ass around right now and get the hell out of Dodge.

Laugh-a-minute stuff, eh? \*\*Ooooh, ooooh! Writing about romantic German poetry of the later 1700s are we? How very posh. You’ve certainly gotten high and mighty since you went poncing off to Cambridge! What’s the matter, bathroom wall limericks aren’t good enough for you anymore? (I’m sorry, should I have said water closet instead of bathroom? Have I confused you?) Afraid of embarrassing yourself in front of your dear fellow graduate window dressers? Bah! There’s naught wrong with bathroom limericks, lad, and don’t you forget it! **mancunian** says: > [@](#): > > **Shit, I don’t know if I posted here before, but if I did, I know I didn’t properly introduce myself, so here goes.** Well I don’t know if I’ve welcomed you or not, so I’m going to err on the side of laziness and not do it in case I already have once already. **hardygrrl** says: > [@](#): > > \*\*HEY! > > I am a greeter here.

Hey all. I probably should have hopped on this welcome wagon a helluva lot sooner, but oh well. I’m a 16 yr. old high school student from southern Indiana. I lurk alot and rarely post, mostly because I’m to lazy to express my own opinion alot of times. I found the boards about a year ago and visit at least twice a week. I’ve learned alot about the real world on the boards. Things that I definetly wouldn’t learn in school, especially stuff about sex. And I have to say, some of the learning has come in handy.😉 So, that’s me. And I have to say, I enjoy the boards **alot** and I don’t ever wanna leave. Peace out, Soupy ---

Howdy. I’m a college student at the University of Houston majoring in English with a concentration in creative writing. I was also in the marching band this semester (just providing material :)). I discovered Cecil’s column a few months ago and just joined the message board recently, when college let out and I had nothing better to do. This is actually the one message board I’ve seen filled almost exclusively with intelligent, polite people. Until I came along, of course. 😃 -Loopus ---

Oh, I’m sorry, by ‘applicable’ I meant whatever Texan saying makes sense in this context. Damn, sorry again. By ‘context’ I meant whatever Texan saying makes sense when put with the other words in the sentence. Shit, my bad again. A ‘sentence’ is words strung together in a way that has meaning. And ‘word’ is what we call things, instead of grunting and pointing, which was all too commonly done by the locals when I was in Texas. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by hardygrrl \* > **I might not be the Bastion of Welome that you are, but at least I can spell.** A person’s name does not have a single set spelling, unlike most other words in the English language, so not knowing how to spell Cobain’s name is not the same as not knowing how to spell ‘school’ or ‘misspell.’ I can spell just fine, just not people’s name when I’m not that familiar with them. > [@](#): > > \*\*No, you don’t say.

I said earlier the other welcomers won’t get special treatment, but I’ll stop if you stop because I don’t want this thread turning into the welcomers sniping at one another.

I’m 22, and I’m pretty sure I’m a girl, but noone’s checked for a while ☹ I live in Perth, in Western Australia. It’s the nicest place in the world to live. It’s summer here, and the beaches are bee-yoo-ti-ful! Normally I live all alone in a funky little apartment, but today I’ve come to my parents’ house to visit my dogs and wash my clothes and eat food and use the high-speed connection. I study medicine, but I don’t wanna be a doctor. I work at a science discovery centre, where I get to pass lotsa electricity through small children. I bought 25 litres of liquid nitrogen yesterday. 🙂 ---

Hi all, my name is Hestia (well no, not really), I’m eighteen, and I live in the Netherlands (please, no wooden shoes jokes, mkay?). I’m a first year Journalism student, though I’m not sure whether I’m going to continue that study. I’ve been lurking on these boards for a couple of months, and just recently I’ve decided to start posting. A friend of mine pointed me toward **Esprix** ’s “Ask The Gay Guy” threads and I’ve been hooked on the boards ever since :). Nekkid picture is on its way. ---

Newbie reporting in. Per Crunchy Frogs direction I am posting here to supply some information about myself. I live in Florida, I am employed as a software engineer (notice I did not say work), I am married and have two wonderful children with my equally wonderful wife. As my username suggests I like beer. I also like fishing, golfing, camping and generally any outdoor activity. I have been lurking around here for an embarrassingly long time, not weeks or even months it’s more like years. I finally decided that I would register so that I can throw my .02 or .03 adjusted for inflation in periodically. I also noticed no one has posted to this thread in a long time so I won’t hold my breath waiting for any feedback. Beerfan ---

Normally I live all alone in a funky little apartment, but today I’ve come to my parents’ house to visit my dogs and wash my clothes and eat food and use the high-speed connection. A mooching off the parents beach bum. A shining example to us all. BTW, a “funky” apartment? Is Don Cornelius your doorman? Do you have really cool shag carpeting and velvet paintings? Beads hanging in the doorways? Can I borrow your copy of “Shaft?” > [@](#): > > I study medicine, but I don’t wanna be a doctor. I work at a science discovery centre, where I get to pass lotsa electricity through small children. I bought 25 litres of liquid nitrogen yesterday. Oh, I do the electrical thing too! But on consenting adults with a major credit card. Oooh, liquid nitrogen! I’m so excited for you! Really I am. _Yawns_ Tell me more!_Eyes close_ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/crunchy-frogs-new-and-improved-welcome-wagon-everyone-invited/63067.md?page=17) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/crunchy-frogs-new-and-improved-welcome-wagon-everyone-invited/63067.md?page=19)
