It’s a closet Canadian! You can’t expect us to believe you’re from LA and Phoenix when you spell “favorite” with a “u” now can you? And check out that username! That’s the work of a French Canadian if I’ve ever seen it! And putting together submittals for a sals staff isn’t as boring as it sounds? Maybe you’re just more boring than you think. Welcome aboard and everything, hope you have fun and remember I do not represent or speak for anyone else on the SDMB when I say, “Bite me, newbie.” **RickQ** \*\* > [@](#): > > Better late than never (but i guess that’s a matter of opinion. > Well, I’m a bank clerk in a call centre. 24, live in the UK and yes, it is always wet over here. I enjoy reading Sci Fi and watching films, going to the gym and chatting (when i get the time). \*\* Mauvaise, I apologize for hinting that you were boring before reading about this guy. I mean, he’s a _bank clerk_ for crying out loud! I didn’t know it was always wet in the UK, I thought that was Seattle. I enjoy going to the gym too, that’s the best place for dodgeball. You just can’t get a good game of street-dodgeball anymore. Good to have you RickQ, we can always use more stick-up-the-arse Brits to lower the level of humor around here. You may now officially bite me. **maidenunicorn41** \*\* > [@](#): > > I live in Texas. > 41/female > married > one son, 18 > Best friend is Purplebear. \*\* And I believe that best friend of yours open a thread just to wlecome you. So you may just bite me like all the rest. My condolences on your living in Texas. I am truly sorry to hear that. **Belle** > [@](#): > > \*\* > I’m kind of new… > > Can I bite you too? \*\* Belle, deary, sweetie, shnookums, sugarlips, of course you can bite me. Especially since you disregarded my earlier request that you dish out some info about yourself for the thread. What, you’re _above_ the rules? Are you _better_ than the other newbies? Your kind disgust me. I fart in your general direction. You may most assuredly bite me, newbie. **hesredbird** \*\* > [@](#): > > I wandered in here one night while being a might confused. I took a look around and liked what I saw. I work for a large automobile manufacturer located at the home of the “Original Sitdowners”. I am interested in Colonial American history. I have been married to my bride for 29 years, have three children and three grandchildren. I grow my own sweet grass in the back yard.\*\* Sweetgrass? Is that the old-timer name for MJ or what? Maybe if you didn’t smoke so much of the sweetgrass, you wouldn’t have been so confused when you wandered in here. Oh, that’s just for you glaucoma, right Grampa? 😉 I’m with ya, I’m cool, I got it. So you know that he who grows sweetgrass must make brownies for the guy to officially welcome him? Welcome aboard, don’t post while smoking that grass, just ask Homer about his monkey butlers to find out why. BMN Now for the non-newbies that posted: **little\*bit** I would love to give you a squeeze, but not even I can manage that from a couple of states away. **iampunha** the newbie with 2522 posts. Dude, you crack me up. **Tally-Ho** - you and little\*bit have no worries. I am completely faithful to my virtual wife and stripper-mistress. I’m not even trying to flirt with these newbies! ---

I’m MomCat. I live in Cleveland after having moved from Indianapolis. (Two rather nice places to live that gets LOTS of undeserved bad press…) I’m divorced, have 2 teen-aged daughters :eek: and am currently living-in-sin with the love of my life. I’m a computer programmer but mostly just generate reports. My job is very low key and allows me lots of time to read the SDMB during the day. I mostly just lurk and enjoy the conversations but would like to post more. I like to read (SF and mysteries), cook and do needlework. And cuddle with my kitties and my SO (Not necessarily at the same time! 🙂 ). MomCat * * * And, CF, the number 4 is my favorite, how’d you know?? :Chomp: :Crunch: :Crunch: Yum! Yum! 😃 ---

Hi Crunchy (and anyone else reading over your shoulder)! It’s an honor to be welcomed by you personally! I’ve been spending WAY too much time hanging out on the boards since discovering them a few weeks back, and having a great time. My name is David. I turn 30 in just a few days from when I write this (b-day on Nov. 12th, in case you’re not reading this on the day I’m writing it). I was born in Randallstown, MD., just outside Baltimore. (re: the Orioles… just wait 'til next year! Er, maybe the year after that…) Went to college at Emerson College in Boston. Moved to Los Angeles seven years ago. I’m a screenwriter (no, really! I’m NOT a waiter who has been working on one screenplay for five years… I’m actually a working screenwriter!). I’m going to be directing my first feature film in January. My short film, which I directed last year, is going to be on Cinemax this month! Check out [http://www.hateacomedy.com](http://www.hateacomedy.com) for details. You’ll like it; it’s about a homicidal chicken. Favorite band: XTC Favorite author: Italio Calvino Um… okay, I’m writing too much now. I think that gives you enough info on me. See you around! - Dave ---

I once had a friend in the Air Force who was from Indiana named Jeremy. We went camping once. A bear stole all his clothes. We know this is what happened because the next day we saw the bear walking around wearing a Colts jersey. I don’t get the number 4 being your favorite reference. You scare me. Be gone, evil demon-seed! Right after you bite me, of course. Demon-seed you may be, but newbie is still what you are. **Jean Grey** \*\* > [@](#): > > Crunchy Frog, I’m not coming near you until you change your name to ‘Crunchy Raw Unboned Real Dead Frog.’ Until then you’re just a lawsuit waiting to happen…\*\* 'Allo, _mon cherie_. I believe we have met before, no? Enough of zees childish games, let us run away to zee cazbah togezair . . . Actually, “Crunchy Raw Unboned Real Dead Frog” was going to be my username, but then I realized that it’s just too damn long. So mind your own business, you Famke Janssen impersonator! BMN! **Nymysys** \*\* > [@](#): > > Oh, no! I officially reject flirting. I am NOTHING but sweetness and light and innocence. _Especially_ innocence.\*\* Back for more Nymysys? Yeah, once the ladies get a taste of old Froggy, they never wanna leave. Admit it, you lust for me. Or at least lie about it lusting for me, in much the same way as you lied in that last post of yours. 😛 ---
