Crunchy Frog's Welcome Wagon (newbies take note)

Jeepers this is a long-ass thread! :slight_smile: Sounds like you’re all doing well in here… Carry on!

[sup][Dashes off before he has to reveal anything about himself…] [/sup]

So you think you can just pop in and pop out again huh? Well not in this thread, mister! You have till Monday to pop back in here and tell us about yourself or I start making shit up!

Ok, ok, ok, ok… I’ll think on it! I’ll try to do it at work. Maybe. :smiley: I’m sure whatever you came up with would be way better… hehe

Now this is tres cool. A welcome wagon for newbies. Wasn’t expecting that! I had no idea what you were “psst’ing” me about, Crunchy. I thought I had gotten in trouble or really pissed somebody off already…and maybe I have!

I am a mom of 4, love reading (just about anything), movies, and used to consider myself a “future novelist”, but that was before the mom-o-4 thing kicked in. Maybe after they leave…you know, the day I pack for the nursing home. Yeah, maybe then…(wistful expression)

I want to thank you for the invitation to be flayed alive under your scrutiny. Hey, at least somebody noticed me! :slight_smile:

Oh, btw, yes, I live in Alabama, but we don’t all watch tv and drink alot. I hate tv.

I don’t know what your username means, but that could be because I only read about 4 pages of this thread and wanted to hurry to say hello before my ass grew roots to this chair.

Silky “So THIS is what we mean by PARTY???” Threat

Before I welcome SilkyThreat I just want to remind dantheman that he has till 8pm central time tomorrow to post info about himself or I start making shit up.

Now then:

Shhh! I don’t ‘psst’ everybody, you’ll make people jealous!

And maybe one day my fantasy involving me, Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, a case of whipped cream, and some handcuffs will come true…
I know I good doctor, we’ll hook you up with a prescription of reality pills. They suck at first, but you’ll get used to it when you realize everyone else is pissed off and miserable too.

Oh you’re making it too easy for me! Alabama and excessive drinking in the same sentence? For what it’s worth though, I never thought Alabamans (is that right?) were a bunch of tv watching drinkers. I thought most of them had already kicked in or shot the TV screens so now they can’t watch anymore. I figured most of them sat on the front porch with a shotgun, not wearing a shirt or shoes, scratching themselves and taking shots at critters, varmints, etc.

I don’t know if I explained my username in this thread. It’s from a Monty Python skit. Do a search for the words “Crunchy Frog Explained” in the subject line and that should take you to a thread with a link explaining my username.

Hello, I am Dichotomous.
I am young and impressionable.
I like photogtraphy (especially the magic of digital photography), movies and music among a lot of other hobbies and interests.

I have been hanging around here for longer than I’d like to admit, lurking and learning, but finally decided to step into the light.

I really like it here, so don’t kick me out, ok?
.
~D!~

Hey all-

I’m blanx- which comes from a nickname based upon my last name.

I’m 27, and a public defender from southwest New Hampshire.
(For those who don’t know, that’s the court appointed attorney you get when you got no money and are charged with some malfeasance.)

A midwesterner born and raised (Detroit area), who misses the flat land terribly.

I’m 5’10, brown hair, blue eyes.

I like good beer, good bourbon, good music (currently listening to Nick Drake’s Pink Moon), college football and hiking.

If any one else is out here in the north woods, I’d be into meeting them- always looking for non-lawyer types to hang out with.

I have no sig.

I’m N&I Scott, and my girlfriend got me snagged here, so if I do anything wrong, feel free to hold her responsable.

I’m 22 and “working” as a hardware technician and graphic designer for a small computer firm in Montreal. The job isn’t really all consuming, and I’ve got high speed internet at my desk, so here I am.

I like all things geek. That makes it really hard for me to keep my cool exterior. If it’s a comic book, I probably know something about it, and I truly believe Transformers: The Movie is the most underrated film of our time.

That’s just me though, I think.

Yikes! He hasn’t forgotten! Aw, crap! There goes my theory about frogs not having good memories…

[scheming thought] Saaaaaaaaaay… Maybe if I pad my post count, he won’t count me as a newbie! [/scheming thought]

No shot, huh? Ok ok, hang on, I’ll get to it presently. :smiley:

Hi, my name is Krunk, and… I’m a newbie. <pauses for reply… “HI, KRUNK!”>

I’ve been hovering around the SDMB for some time and have been enjoying the hell out of the posts on MPSIMS, and have picked this auspicious moment to reveal my presence to the world.

Quick bio:
27, 6’5", 240 lb, brown-and-blue
Environmental engineer by day, part-time superhero by night
Self-confessed computer geek and God’s own repository of useless movie trivia
Has a small shrine to Calvin & Hobbes in cubicle

And…
Mainly in it to meet girls.

[sup]Ok ok ok ok ok.[/sup]

30, 5’7", 190, brown-and-blue, too
I copy edit for a technical journal in the field of optics.
I’m a grammarian (or so I think).

Interests include candlelit dinners, walks on the beach, sad songs that say so much.

No, wait. That’s not me. That’s my ad on sexyads.com. :slight_smile:

If you’ve seen me in other threads, you know I love movies. Lots of 'em. Oh, and some music. I’m a Deadhead, and I know there are others on here as well. I’m reading books more often now than in recent times.

I love Dilbert, The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, and Monty Python. Oh, and Douglas Adams. Oh, and Stephen King. Oh…

And one more thing. I’ve been in front of a keyboard since 1980. Been online since 1985, when BBSs were the only way to fly. Been on the net only since 1998, though - there was a bit of a hiatus there, some nonsense about a nun and a donkey. But I digress.

Hi! :cool:

Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible for anything he says or does.

Oh my goodness, how in the WORLD are you up to 34 posts already???

Why is it you guys always post in bunches?

Dichotomous

Well this is good if you’re female. If you’re male, let me introduce you to Silly Rabbit, who I understand is quite fond of impressionable young men.

I hate to break this to you, but as an amatuer magician I can assure you, those digital cameras are not magic. When I make the card you chose mysteriously appear in your shoes which you are on your feet at the time - that’s magic.

And I like the phrase “among a lot of other hobbies and interests.” I know what that’s code for. That’s code for, “I can’t think of anything else I like, but I can’t really be this boring so I’ll pretend I have other interests which are just slipping my mind.”

Well as much as I’d like to be able to ramdomly toss people out of here depending on what sort of whimsical mood I’m in that day, kicking you out is not up to me. However I do know to whom to send the chocolates if I wanted such a thing to occur…
blanx

Judging from your post, I’d have thought it’s from a nickname based on your personality.

Oh look at Mr. Uppity-Lawyer Type Person! Good beer, huh? What’s the matter, cheap beer isn’t good enough for ya? You look down your snotty nose at people who drink Pabst Blue Ribbon or Schlitz? I suppose malt liquor is just out of the question then? Oh and looky-looky, it has to be good bourbon! Guess what, Rockefeller, cheap bourbon gets you JUST as drunk! Sure you might go blind, but you’ll be too shit-faced to care!
Damn alcohol snob.

First a description of how he looks and now this. Why not tell us your turn-ons and turn-offs and do the whole Playboy Playmate description thing?
This is NOT Yahoo personals pal. We’re here to fight ignorance. We aren’t here to flirt or hook up with women and make dates and fly them in from Chicago and yes, if any regs are reading this, I do see the irony in what I’m saying so I’ll just shut the hell up right now.
New & Improved Scott

Au contraire, mon frere (sp?) I’m the only one not held responsible for his actions in this thread! LaurAnge warned me all about you already buster. I’m watching you. And if you slip up once, just ONCE - I know who to send the chocolate to. Just remember that.

**
Great googly moogly! LaurAnge, you’re with this guy even now that I’m newly single again? Granted, I collect comic books, but The Transformers is an underrated film? Dear child, get thee to a loony-bin.
The Infraggable Krunk

No, the proper response you should’ve heard is, “Get me a beer, bitch!”

And full time delusional freak…

Are you trying to tell me God can’t remember movie trivia for Himself? I’m quite sure God can answer who the 2nd Unit Director for Hudson Hawk was without missing a beat - or consulting you - thank you very much!

In what? The shrine or the cubicle?

If you’re referring to the SDMB, sorry, sport: I’ve already got dibs on most of the single women. :wink:
***dantheman ***
Ok, I read what you had to say about yourself and didn’t like it. I’ve decided to make shit up anyway.
Let me think some stuff up and I’ll get back to you.

OK, screw it, I hate this, but here it goes.
52, 5’9" 185, brn, blue
musician, gubmint 'mployee
too old to waste time with this bullshit, but I’m hooked, at least for a while.

And I think the two words in bold says it all…

Hi Crunchy!!! smooooch

can you feel the love tonight…

All right that’s it! Get out! No weepy boring-ass Elton John/Disney ballads here! Get the hell out of Dodge with that crap!

I oughta take you to the Pit for that!

sniff

My life is at its nadir.

I’ve been dissed by a frog!
