Hey Crunchy! I like your style and I admire your wit! Like a lot of other folks, you’re most certainly not earning a living from what you do best. Keep it up! Based on my signup date, I’m not what you’d call a newbie, but I don’t have a hell of a lot of time to reply to all the threads I’d like to. So, here’s my intro. Unlike you I suspect, I am a genuine frog. That is, a French Canadian. I’m originally from Montreal, now living in Canada’s capital (go ahead and pretend to not know where that is) I manage a tech support department for the Canadian division of a US based Dotcom. I ride bikes (motor) hang with my kids, camp, and box, and spend a fair bit of time reading threads on this site. Welcome me babe, do your best, hurt me. ---

Keep it up!** Kissing the Frog’s ass will not help you here. (ok, ok maybe a little) It’s too bad I can’t earn a living randomly insulting people, Don Rickles has already monopolized the market on that one. \*\* > [@](#): > > Based on my signup date, I’m not what you’d call a newbie, but I don’t have a hell of a lot of time to reply to all the threads I’d like to. \*\* Good God! That long and you only have 37 posts?! What the hell do you do with your time if you’re not here? I suppose you’re gonna try and tell me you have a life or something. Well I’m not buying it. We know, deep down, you’re as much a pathetic loser who stays inside all the time surfing the net, downloading porn and posting to message boards, all the while day-dreaming of the days when you used to play baseball and fantasizing about writing the Great American Novel but you’re really stuck in this stupid job working for AT&T and… um, nevermind. > [@](#): > > **I’m originally from Montreal, now living in Canada’s capital (go ahead and pretend to not know where that is)** Yeah, ok, I’ll _pretend_ I don’t know, that’s it! [sub]Ottawa, isn’t it?[/sub] \*\* > [@](#): > > I ride bikes (motor) hang with my kids, camp, and box, and spend a fair bit of time reading threads on this site.\*\* You hang with a box? Have you drawn a face on it and named it or something? \*\* [/quote] Welcome me babe, do your best, hurt me. \*\* [/QUOTE] Ok, now I’m confused. First you say you box, then you call me babe and that line “do your best, hurt me” is screaming for some flirtation. But your username is a bit ambiguous as to what your sex may be. So on one hand, you could be a foreign women who speaks French for me to fantasize about. On the other hand, you could be a Canadian guy who can box. I’ll hold off on the flirting till we get a ruling on this one way or the other. ---

Dear Mr. Crunchy Frog, Sir, First of all, I am quite simply amazed at your stamina. I couldn’t even read all of the posts here, much less respond to them all. You’re a new hero to me. I can only aspire to your level of dedication to the SDMB (NB Not kissing up, but if it works…) Me? Ride a Harley, study traditional kung fu. Sort of a computer geek, sort of an artist, _really_ like to listen to music. Put this all together with my job as a graphic designer at a jazz magazine and what do you get? One extremely happy newbie. Thank you for the welcome. My cats? Fabio and Doobie 🙂 And I fully sympathize with your difficulty at expressing tongue-in-cheekiness with nothing but text. Perhaps we need a Tongue-in-Cheek smiley? ---

So Mr. Froogy, if I can call you that, let’s see what you have in store for me. I am 23 and live in Baltimore, Maryland, home of the Superbowl champions, the Ravens. I work near DC at the Goddard Space Flight Center doing flight operations for a satellite. Seeing as how we have a lot of useless time on our hands while at work, I should be able to post many messages, and I have no problem speakinf my mind so some of them should be interesting. My favorite past time is hanging out with my friends and going to clubs. I can dance my ass off and in my ho gear, as my friends and I refer to it, I look awfully good doing it. I am currently single and loving every minute of it and my nickname is Maneater, wouldn’t you love to know how I got that! I have a profound love for my car, a 99 Mercury Cougar in my favorite color purple and am always the life of the party, although some times quite annoying I am sure. My other prized possessions in life are my two dogs, Snoop and Snickers, Snoop being my favorite. I possess that wonderful little piece of paper known as a college degree which proves I was able to cheat my way through a few mathematics courses. I am still searching for the meaning of life and from what I have seen so far I just might be able to find it here on these message boards. I look forward to hearing from you or anyone else that may have some wonderful insights for me. 🙂 ---

Hi all 🙂 I’m not _exactly_ new… I registered ages ago, but only now have the time to devote the attention the boards deserve. I’ve lurked for a while, like a creepy lurking thing. 😉 About me? Umm… I play guitar (you probably guessed that.) Male, 23 going on 16 or 35 depending on circumstances, loves reading and is getting into writing. My sense of humour (note the ‘u’, I’m a Brit) tends towards the surreal, sarcastic and ironic, although I can be all warm and cuddly at times. Well - Hi guys. Good to meet you all. Hope to talk (and argue) with you soon. 🙂 ---

Hello, Crunchy Frog. I’ve just come aboard the SDMB, although I’ve been a Doper since 1986. I teach high school math in Mt. Dora, Florida. I’m a 29-year-old SWM who runs a bit much and enjoys reading, bagpipe music and Monty Python. I’m currently involved with “Relay For Life,” a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. My doggie’s name is Sheila. ---

We know who won the Superbowl. The Rams won last year, but you didn’t see me dropping that little fact everytime the opportuniy arose. Get over it already, it’s been a week. It’s just a football game. Dammit Mike Martz! Why couldn’t you have fixed the defense so we had a good team this year?! Why did you draft a _running back_ in the first round when everyone in St Louis knew we needed **defense**! Why did you sit back and let game after game be a shoot out instead of fixing the defense when they first started looking weak? We were the champs Mike! Why did you do it?!

BTW, I drive a 2000 Ford Focus to which I am profoundly indifferent. It’s a nice shade of green though. > [@](#): > > **I possess that wonderful little piece of paper known as a college degree which proves I was able to cheat my way through a few mathematics courses.** I have a piece of paper called a DD-214, which proves once upon a time, in the military, I had a job that made me seem really cool and interesting. I used to be able to tell people I worked for military intelligence, much more romantic and intriguing conversation starter then my current career as psuedo-computer geek. > [@](#): > > \*\*I am still searching for the meaning of life and from what I have seen so far I just might be able to find it here on these message boards.

I actually know the meaning of life, but you have to email me to find out what it is. If I display it on the boards, it would start a bunch of debates and arguments would ensue and then we’d all end up in the Pit.

A breed known world-wide for their great intellect, sense of responsiblity, and maturity. And you play the guitar? Please tell me you play bass guitar - I’ve got all kinds of material on bass players! – How can you tell if the stage is level? – The bass player drools from _both_ corners of his mouth. – How does the bass player get to the party after the gig? – He follows the drummer.

Then you must know that you must send me nekkid pix of yourself. Those are the rules. And while sucking UP doesn’t work, going DOWN definitely does. Although it does shame me to succumb to bribery. It shames me, but I’m not above it. Email me and I’ll given you my address and I’ll be expecting the blowjob in 4-6 weeks. Now then, here’s my pride going down the toilet at the mere hint of a blowjob which I will never actually receive: **Corina42** is quite possibly the greatest poster on the boards. Her intelligence, wit, and beauty is beyond compare. She is independently wealthy and gives over $3 billion a year to various charities. She is currently trying to solve the secret to cold fusion, and should have that nailed down by the end of the week. BTW - I know how difficult parking a semi can be. I have to parallel park my Ford Focus everyday! And before that I used to drive a Neon! I know how tough it is to find a good spot to parallel park in. 😃 ---

Well, let’s have a bite & see if that frog really is crunchy. I’m a boy in my 30’s, married, homeowner, no kids, 2 dogs (APBT & Rottweiler), 1 cat. I put a toddler gate in the middle of the house when the dogs were pups, they get the family room & kitchen, cat gets living room & upstairs. The dogs know they CAN go over/through the gate, but after 2 years they’re not interested in the cat anymore. I like playing in my garden, hiking, staying up too late on the computer. I worked many manual labor jobs before I finally got smart, learned something about computers & now I do tech support for a major ISP. I was a useless drunk all through my 20’s & quit drinking several years ago. I don’t have any nekkid pix of me, one of my ex-girlfriends took 'em to do some voodoo stuff when I broke up with her. ---

ok I’ll bite too. I’m 31, 5ft6, red hair, 1 blue eye, 1 brown eye (yes, you may make fun of that crunchy it bothers me not a whit! \) Live in scotland but grew up in south africa and damn! I miss the sun. Got laid off from my job just before xmas, but I’m not sad cause it was the kick up the arse I needed to get on and do something I’v always wanted to do. Currently studying with the open university, and have a wonderful hubby who cooks and cleans and looks after our two boys, whilst I do this. I started off on this board with the name of springbok (how imaginative is that, but I registered one night when I had, had a few, (drinks!) and was feeling homesick) but that wonderful moderator TUBADIVA changed it for me 🙂 and now its my son’s name spelt backwards,(how imaginative is that!) Ok enough of me ---

Is this another metric thing? \*\* > [@](#): > > but I registered one night when I had, had a few, (drinks!) and was feeling homesick) but that wonderful moderator TUBADIVA changed it for me \*\* Ok, just to clarify, **TubaDiva** is an administrator. What’s the difference you ask? Well take **Coldfire** for example. He’s a moderator. What’s the difference between **Coldfire** and **TubaDiva**? Well, **TubaDiva** is a saint-like woman who’s as beautiful as she is intelligent. **Coldfire** gets spliters in his toes and owns an inflatable pig. All clear now? \*\* > [@](#): > > now its my son’s name spelt backwards,(how imaginative is that!)\*\* I have to disagree with you here. If it were my son’s name spelled backwards it would be **emansnosym**. You name is **eirroc** , which is corrie speled backwards. I don’t know how you did it, but that’s one hell of a typo. ---

I grovel at your feet… \*\* If only I hadn’t misspelled **Major Bludd**. I also think I should’ve restated that I’m 27 for all those people who don’t know how old I am when reading that. I’m just glad other people besides myself and the newbies are reading this. Of course I have a feeling you _are_ the only other person besides myself and newbies. And **imthjckaz** - watch yourself. The last person who asked me “Stan who?” had to listen to me rattle off his stats and career accomplishments for a half hour.
