Shit, thats a great start…
I did not mean welcome me personally, us was more like it… newbies in general. The message got sent accidentally, and I didn’t want to repost what seemed like rather pointless information about myself and clutter up the thread.
I’m 21, Male, and in Bombay. Am I the only one here from this remote, sparsely populated part of the world?
I don’t have anything else to say about myself. I’m very modest… ok, actually completely unintersting.
Funny enough, 42 was reported to be the initial estimation of the Hubble constant – the rate at which the universe is expanding.
I’m a 25-year-old male.
When I was 17 I washed Hearses. When I was 18, I was studying to be a physician. At 20 I took a year off and washed pots and pans in Scotland. Then I did volunteer work in a war-torn town in Croatia. I returned, finished an English degree, and am now a professional photojournalist living in Budapest, Hungary. You can see my work in March’s Car and Driver – I’m the one with the bloodied face on the Autobahn.
As you can tell, straight lines don’t exist in my conception of the universe.
I also play in a band here, coincidentally named Crunchy Frog. This is true.
I don’t have a dog named Fluffy Wuffy Miss Wiggims.
I don’t drink alcoholic drinks whose names don’t consist of their ingredients. Except for a Long Island Iced Tea.
I like real beer. Except at ball games, where Old Style is the best.
It is my aspiration to have 10,000 posts all of inconsequential nature. This is number two so I feel I am well on my way.
I am a 30 yo male LAN administrator in Downtown Chicago. Hate my job, hate the people I work with, and I hate you. Nuthin personal but yer breathin, right?
The meaning of life, for those of you that are still interested, was eloquently explained in the movie The Meaning of Life by the French waiter. Didn’t you get it!? “It’s just one theen leetle meent.”
I despise the over-use of “quotations”. You said it, so why the hell are you “quoting” yourself? Stop it before you cause me to “bitch slap” you into “next week”. And don’t even let me catch you doing it with your fingers. I’ll follow ou onto the elevator and only one of us will come “out alive”.
And as for Crunchy Frog, I prefer the Lark’s Vomit Ripple.

I guess I should make this official and all - here I am.
I’m 29 years old. I’m not particularly happy about that.
I’m single. I’m sure that somewhere out there is the perfect woman for me. She’s with another man, and probably wouldn’t give me thie time of day even if she weren’t, but she’s out there…
I have a black belt in aikido. I want to be able to teach professionally someday.
Spare time = smoking, drinking coffee, and doing crossword puzzles/reading/writing really crappy free-form, stream of consciousness poetry.
There is only one person in this world that I hate (sometimes two, but I don’t think i’m supposed to include myself in the above statement.)
My name sums up a good bit about the real person behind it: I’m a native southerner, somewhat refined (humble, too), who prefers the deep woods to city life, and, as an analog person in a digital age, is nearly extinct (if not extinct already).
So… how the hell did I wind up living in New Orleans? As an over-educated policy-analyst college professor wannabe, this is the first step on the way to getting a teaching gig.
I’m a 35 year-old white male, married w/ 3 and 1/3 kids. Bourbon is my beverage of choice; Old Rip VanWinkle is my preferred brand.
Greetings all, greetings crispy-amphibian-type-person.
I’m pretty damn new here. I can sometimes be found lurking in the #StraightDope IRC channel, otherwise I’ll be lurking here, usually in MPSIMS or the Pit.
Mundane personal stuff for Crunchy to make fun of: I’m 20, male, live in Sydney, Australia (that alone should give you PLENTY of material, dude). I figure appearance details aren’t important since I’m a guy, but suffice to say I’m pretty geeky lookin’. Studying Forensic Science at university (again, feel free to make as much fun of that as you want). Interests include basketball, spending -way- too much time on the computer, music of all kinds (from Area 7 to Alice in Chains, from Metallica to Mozart, from the Porkers to Garbage…) and, in much smaller letters, [sub]sports entertainment[/sub]. (If you’re not familiar with the term I consider myself spared a world of mockery. Thank the gods).
I’ve been watching the boards for a while now, and with a few notable exceptions <coughpeacecough> the people here all seem pretty cool. Nice to hang out with people who have IQs higher than room temperature. And I figure anyone who likes Monty Python (Holy Grail owns me), Stan Musial (gotta love that batting stance) and the Rams must rock. So Crunchy, I look forward to biting you, and may we meet again soon <files teeth to a fine point>. And to everyone else, greetings and salutations.

Oh yeah, I’m the son of another relatively new but already quite active poster, reprise. She’s become quite an active troll hunter… and apparently doesn’t respond to DNFTT. =P
Remind me never to hire you to work for me once I become independently wealthy. You’re jinxed.
Oh I’ve been there. Lately I’ve been thinking of going there again. It’s a fun place and everyone knows my name there. Spent the majority of my early 20s drunk. Maybe that’s why I have such fond memories of my early twenties: all the bad bits are blacked out.
First of all people suck. People suck big time. To paraphrase Homer Simpson: They’re the suckiest sucks that ever sucked.
And who the hell is Emma Caufield? Is this some redheaded girl you’ve had a cruch on since grade school and still fantasize about her while masturbating into a gym sock?
Welcome to the boards.
sc913 - rather than responding to your post, I just want to remind everyone that you should not take me seriously in this thread. I’m just playing around here. But if I DO actually offend someone with one of my remarks, let me know and I will apologize. pulykamell says:
I’ll be expecting the royalty checks within 60 days, or you’ll be hearing from my lawyer.
You shouldn’t be ashamed. It is my opinion that everyone spend at least 4 years as a Cub fan. It build character. Only a Cub (or a Red Sox) fan knows the true meanings of patience, forgiveness, hope, and humility. Hiro Protagonist claims:
'Nuff said right there I think.
Yeah, fuck you too, sparky. If you read what I wrote above, you can see I don’t care much for people either, so no offense taken. In fact, I understand perfectly. If we didn’t hate each other so much for breathing, I’d say we’d get along great and be wonderful friends. Instead I’ll just tell you to shove it.
Um, wrong waiter. John Cleese claimed it was only wafer thin, but it was Eric Idle who took the audience aside and explained what he thought to be the meaning of life. Unless I’m misunderstand what you’re trying to say.
As I said before, shove it.
PS. Get your own dam shrubbery and don’t double-post here again!
pagan
Well, if you’re into self-centered, materialistic, cheating-ass, skank ho bitches who’ll leave you the second money gets kind of tight, have I got the gal for you.
If, on the other hand, you want to be happy, join the club.
I have a black belt in my closet. And a brown one. Have to match with my shoes, you know. Ivorybill
I have a headache now trying to figure out what any of that has to do with the name Ivorybill… DarkJudicator
Not being from Australia, maybe I don’t see how that gives me material. Should I do Olympic jokes or something?
Time for you to fight ignorance, child. What exactly do you mean bu “sports entertainment” You like watching the guys dressed up as mascots? Those giant paper mache heads turn you on? Nymysys
Hi Nymysys. As you can see, I’m still here. Haven’t fallen off the earth yet.
Not if you keep calling me dork-boy.
Sorry to all the newbies for the lameness of this response. I haven’t been in a good enough mood for this lately, but the thread was getting too backed up to put off answering anymore.
As a post script to my previous post, I think this has gone on long enough. Please, no more newbies respond to this thread. I’m asking the mods to close this.
