Hey Arden, good luck on getting a “bite me” now or even a lick for that matter. Is it just me or does Monsieur Frog seem just a wee bit cranky tonight?

I’m from Montreal and Cecil’s column hasn’t been published here in over five years, but I never forgot, so go easy on me…
Self-Referential Quote: “I’m not a creep, but I play one on the 'net.”
I’ve been mostly lurking… my husband and I enjoy reading all the clever posts from you amazingly intelligent people. I can’t see myself actually posting much, but I thought I’d introduce myself anyway.
I’m from Ohio, went school in Utah (English major/Korean minor) have been to Korea three times for a total of about 2 1/2 years and most recently was in Newfoundland for three years for my husband’s grad school. We’re in Washington state now. We drove all the way here from Newfoundland in our little green truck, named Lukey. We don’t have any kids yet but we ocassionally name our appliances.
I do pencil portrait drawings from photos, and I’m also a published scrapbook artist. My husband plays fiddle and cittern and recently taught me how to say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwlllantysiliogogogoch. We are both big fans of Lois McMaster Bujold and Terry Pratchett.
I do have one question! I loved all the stories about Halvsie the two-legged dog, but I must admit the “paddling around in circles like Curley” reference quite escapes me.
Like GilaB, my religion also proscribes the taking and/or sending of nekkid pics. Alas.
(That wasn’t too long, was it?)

I feel like being knocked down a few pegs, so here I go!
Hi! I’m a college student living in Washington. With red hair. I’m also 17, so the living in Washington is actually “living with my parents.” Oh, and I like dill hummus and driving slow. That enough ammo?
And, I seriously doubt you’d want anything involving me naked.
Well, CF and I could just knock you up, but the mods might be a bit irked. Plus I think Coldie would want first dibs, but that’s just my twisted, 3-o’clock-in-the-morning-and-I-should-have-been-asleep-three-hours-ago logic.
"Hi! I’m a college student living in Washington. With red hair."
The Washington bit can be forgiven. So long as it’s DC, that is. The red hair will brand you in this here place.
Are you always that fucking perky, though? That’s gonna wear on people something quick, seriously. Better adapt a “I’m just a lonely girl” attitude quick, and all will be forgiven.
"That enough ammo?"
A man can never have enough ammo. Or beer. Just ask UncleBeer.
"And, I seriously doubt you’d want anything involving me naked."
Oh, there you go getting down on yourself. That fucking pisses me off, newbies thinking they’re allowed to piss on themselves. Didn’t you read the rules, lady? Brighten up, for fuck’s sake!
And, on behalf of CF, bite me;)

Last time the famed Welcome Wagon was up an’ rolling, I didn’t have the guts to join in (approach the great and mighty Crunchy Frog? He who is beyond goddom? No way! I’d go blind!).
And according to the rules, I can’t get a welcome now either it seems because I not only don’t have a nekkid pic of my womanly self – publishing one would definitely not be the interests of CF’s mental health. Trust me on this.
So ::sigh:: I slink once more into the shadows. Oh, hey, welcome back, Crunchy Frog (and no, you don’t need to send a naked picture of yourself for that welcome. I’m cheaper). Luv ya.
Welcome back Crunchy, dahlink!! I didn’t realize how much I’d missed you till you returned and I noticed that you’d been gone for a while… uh, there is a certain logic in there somewhere. Anyway, I ask for nothing but the chance to worship you from afar.
<---- Evnglion…hello all. I suppose I am a bit new, but pretty experienced for a newbie, so I can’t call myself that. Everyone welcome me!!! I am into anime, cars, baseball, and computers. I liev in North Carolina, in crummy Winston-Salem. I suppose that is all…oh yeah…if anyone can tell me what my sig means, that person is awesome!
Hi, I’m frobozz, and I work in the Department of Redundancy Department. No, really, I am a civil engineer from New Jersey. Condolences are in order for either of those reasons.
I’ve been lurking since about September of last year. I wasn’t going to register becasue I do all my surfing at work and the SDMB is more addictive than heroin. But then, I figured, if I’m going to get fired for too much internet usage, it might as well be for something good, right? I mean, any novice can get fired for surfing porn all day.
Also, I’m engaged to the cutest girl in the world. We’re getting married next summer.
Welcome, GilaB! I’ve been looking for the chance to tell you that I really appreciated your thoughtful answer here, but the thread was kinda dead when I read it and I didn’t want to bump.
The first person you choose to remind about this is… me. What, you have a thing for dull, bespectacled chicks wasting their precious youth learning about dead people and their languages?
You’ve got it backwards. The rats have grown to enourmous siae and invaded the dorms on Bay State. My roommate is one in a cleverly designed human-suit.
Come on, you’d have to at least buy me dinner first…
Oh, and one other thing:
I have this mysterious ability to kill a thread with one post. No matter how popular it is or how long it has been around, it will invariably sink off the fist page within 1 day of me posting to it. Take this fine thread, for example. I found it at the bottom of page 2 six hours after I posted. I am the typhoid mary of the message boards.
I scare tourists into giving me money.
An evil nazi goose is stalking me.
I was blind once but now I can see with one eye.
My little sister once choked me so hard I puked.
I ripped my brothers toenail off.
I like ugly motorcycles and pretty red-headed wimmins.
I got funny lookin’ tan lines.
A picture of my nekkid mom is on the way.
Hi…
Delurking for a minute. I peek into SDMB every day but rarely post because although I always have something to add, I think better than I write.
Anyway, I’m a 20 something female (cityGIRL kinda gave it away, huh?) in Chicago, and according to my latest personality test/horoscope, I am:
of unusual beauty, does not want to impress, well-developed sense of justice, vivacious, interested, a born diplomat, but irritates easily and sensitive in company, often due to a lack of self confidence, acts sometimes superior, feels not understood, loves only once, has difficulties in finding a partner.
That’s pretty accurate… especially the unusual beauty part. - Sorry no nekkid pictures. The closest I can get you is a bra and panty shot from behind.
I also have a deep hatred for all condiments, especially mustard. I don’t like tomatoes either.
Now, with all that done…
WELCOME ME, DAMMIT!!!
"The Washington bit can be forgiven. So long as it’s DC, that is. The red hair will brand you in this here place."
Nope. I’m in Washington state. I lead a pathetic life. My hair will brand me in what way? "Are you always that fucking perky, though? That’s gonna wear on people something quick, seriously. Better adapt a “I’m just a lonely girl” attitude quick, and all will be forgiven."
First, you tell me to quit being so perky. Then, you get on my case for wanting to save poor Crunchy’s sanity, and tell me to brighten up. Okay. I cannot please you, can I? DAMMIT. I’m such a failure.
"Oh, there you go getting down on yourself. That fucking pisses me off, newbies thinking they’re allowed to piss on themselves. Didn’t you read the rules, lady? Brighten up, for fuck’s sake!"
Why? Oh, that’s your job, the pissing on people. I’m terribly sorry for taking away your fun. I’ll stop it, I promise.
I am a 40-ish chatty redhead, prone to making disparaging remarks about the unseemly personal habits of others. I’m a Wiccan, a real estate professional, a masseuse in my spare time, and I have the following hobbies:

Hi, Opal!
Naming inanimate objects (my toaster is called Pop-Up Willie).
Nekkid pictures of me are an abomination, but I have a hot neighbor without bedroom curtains - can I submit a proxy? And finally, the first time I read the name Crunchy Frog the first thing I thought about was toad-licking. Where would you like that bite?
