Hey there,
I’m an attorney - concentrate on Nuclear Safety law, Employment law and Patent law.
Live in Illinois, reader of SD for a while, recent addition to the message boards.

Newbie here. Chronic Newbie, actually…First off, I’ll say that I’m pretty boring as far as posting and writing in general go…so, Mr. Frog, you dont have to point it out, but feel free. I find myself to be more witty and creative when Im actually chatting with someone in real time online. But oh well…here goes.
I’m 25, 5’5", 150#, born and raised in Western NC, currently living there with the maternal unit (I know, I know…) but planning to get a job and move away soon. My current job is being the biggest slacker on the planet, mooching off Mom, trying to get off my ass to find a job and begin the rest of my life.
I’m a computer graphic designer, tapdancer since I was 6 (currently non-practicing), I’m a metalhead at heart, but I like a lot of music, I have no sense of smell (detailed in one of my posts), I have no religion…I prefer spirituality instead, and I’m gay, although I probably shouldnt mention that…OOPS, too late, I already did! Trying to figure out what to do about the significant other when I move away and get a job.
And oh yeah…I’m Tygr’s brother.
Did I mention I was a newbie? Still trying to figure out how to do this “smiley” thing, as well as how to embolden text, etc. “I’m a loser, baby…”
P.S. Oh Tygr, dear brother…? Help with a sig line for me? Pretty please w/ chocolate-covered ants on top?
The clothing I could care less about, but I love films, and if I ever see you p[ost anywhere how great Titanic was, I will find you and I will hurt you. Badly.
I noticed you didn’t list Brittany Spears or N Sync. Too embarassed? Don’t be, the world need nerds too, you know. Otherwise, how would I know how cool I am?
Oh go ahead, it’s not like you could possibly be any better looking than I.

In a word, conflicted.
You don’t ramble like this in real life and consider it being ‘witty and creative’ do you?
Don’t feel bad, I was 26 and living with my parents. Of course, I had been in the military and living on my own before a break up with with my fiance and loss of my job within 2 weeks of each other left me homeless and penniless, and now I’m back on my own again, but my point is . . . um. No point. You’re a loser, quit mooching off your mom!
And what are the hours involved with that and how much does it pay? You get dental with that?
Why shouldn’t you mention that? There’s lots of gay Dopers posting to the boards. Don’t worry about it, we’re pretty open around here.
For the smilies, when you reply to a post, look to the top of the screen nd you should see “Posts: HTML code is Off. Smilies are On. vB code is On. [IMG] code is Off.” Or something like that. There you will find links to the answers to your questions.
You may all now Bite Me.

There is no personal ill will towards your city’s teams, but I think they’ll need new names with they move to Iraq, more befitting their new country. Perhaps “Saddam’s Sodomites” and “Mohammed’s Dungeaters” will do. They’ll be an absolute hit over there as they were in St. Louis.
Since I’m kind and generous by nature, I think that players beheaded as Infidels should be repatriated, brought home, and cremated in the proper American fashion.
Ah, so that’s why you’re a huge baseball and football fan. A simple cause and effect. TV has that way of distorting the mind. 
I haven’t been appropriately abused. Crunchy has yet to supply something sig-worthy for me. 
And I’ve been around awhile, too. Rats.

Its not -that- bad. Im just not very elitest when it comes to movies. For instance, I really didnt like Gummo. Its my understand that the “cool” kids like Gummo… but I thought it was pointless and dull.
Im more into stuff like Kevin Smith flicks, American History X, Reservoir Dogs (Though I hated Pulp Fiction, go figure), 12 monkeys, and uhmm… WWF stuff. (I know how sad that is. Blow me.) I also tend to dislike anything with Freddie Prinze Jr in it. But its not that Im un-trendy because I was -all- over DiCaprio in Romeo and Juliet. smirk
Not that it matters how cool you are… ahem but I honestly dont own any bee-bop stuff. I think I have a various artists cd with a 98 degrees song on it that I will occasionally croon with in the car… but thats about it. Currently, I think my cd of choice is a Screeching Weasel self titled CD. But again, Im not an elitest… so next week it might be Sophie B Hawkins or 3 Doors Down. Who knows?
But I have breasts. Therefore, you’re aesthetically inferior by default.
In six words, Not even with someone elses teeth. =) smooch
I hate my user name- I signed up quickly before really reading the threads very deeply- I feel so ultra non- creative- Anyways- I live in Arizona- Phoenix- planning on moving to San Diego in a couple of months- just graduated from Arizona State University and trying to figure out what I want to do with my life- the never ending question- I go on SD when I am bored at work- other than that I am out on the town bouncing around- also - I Love Chicago- going there in a month
stargazer - awfully pushy for a newbie. What’s wrong with this line? “You know, usually when someone double-majors, one of those degrees is actually worth a dead sloth’s dried up testicle floating in a jar of formaldehyde, but you managed to get two that weren’t. That’s abso-fricking-lutely amazing!” I didn’t realize I’m supposed to supply you people with sig-lines either, that was Wally’s gig, and I’m no WallyM7. But just for you, stargazer, here’s a sig:
“Yes, I’d love to have cyber-sex with you, but the doctor says I shouldn’t touch myself there until the scabs heal.”
malkavia - What the hell is Gummo? Never heard of it. Wasn’t he the 5th Marx Brother? And when I say I’m better looking, you say, “But I have breasts. Therefore, you’re aesthetically inferior by default.” I have to differ, because on weekends when I wear my heels and the fishnet stockings, I – um, you know what, nevermind about that.

You can always change it to Chicken of Bristol and make evilbeth very happy. She’s still mad that I chose Crunchy Frog over her suggestion when I changed my username. BTW, if you do want to change, email an administrator, they can change your name without changing the postcount and other things.
Um, hey there, shnookums? There’s a little invention you may not have heard of. It’s called a period. There’s one at the end of this sentence. It’s that little dot, see? If you look closely, you’ll also see other strange and wondrous notations in my post. These are known as commas. Commas and periods are our friends. Yes, even the period can be your friend, regardless of what your mother told you. If you need any help, email me and I will be glad to instruct you in the use of these amazing little devices.
Bite me newbies.
Okay, here’s the deal with me;
I am 5 feet tall, even.
I trained as a dancer for 15 years, but nothing came of it.
I love to read.
I love my sister and my brothers. They taught me everything I know (although Cecil has a hand in it too - we used to watch his show on A&E).
And I’m as queer as a three dollar bill.
Here’s me:
I graduated from college in 1998 with a degree in English. However, I am not a grammar person, and I’m not afraid to break the rules to make a point. I went to the University of Memphis, BTW.
Before that, I grew up in Mississippi. What’s to say, other than, I fucking hate Mississippi?
:winces as Crunchy Frog winds up for pitch: My title at work is “Development”. I raise money, come up with programs, and make sure folks know we’re here. I work at a non-profit cemetery. I get away with a lot at work since dead people don’t complain that much.
I still live in Memphis with my husband.
You can bite me Crunchy Frog- Thanks for the info on changing my user name-BUT- I don’t need or want your grammatical advice- -this is email, not a novel, resume, article, or anything of great importance- in fact- I am never going to use a period when writing on the message boards just to annoy you-
Thanks for that wonderful welcome
um, since when? look out, I betcha Crunchy’s gonna get you for that!
(can’t say we didn’t warn her)
[sub]Oops, um, I mean…[/sub]
Let’s see:
I’m male (betcha couldn’t tell from the name, huh?). I’m from Boston, but attend college in Kingston, Ontario, where I’m majoring in Linguistics. I used to work tech support. I like Shakespeare and Heinlein. I’m enjoying this thread way too much; thanks, Crunchy. Oh, and I like long walks on the beach…
I’ve got some catching up to do, I see.
We start with Peculiar Pixie who says:
Does anyone else hear Snagglepuss saying this line, or do I watch to much Cartoon Network?
Don’t you hate when that happens? I trained for 20 years to be a professional monkey butler trainer, but to this day, there’s only ever been one person interested, and he was drunk at the time.
Learn to suck up early, good man.
In that case, no pun intended about the sucking thing in the last sentence.
Sophie says:
Well that degree from Memphis would explain the disregard for grammar and the rules of English from an English major. The sentence, “Y’all fixinta go to store witchyer mommannem?” is made of real words down there. (Say it out loud, it should make sense.) I don’t blame you, really I don’t.
Further explaining your disregard for the English language. It’s not your fault, don’t blame yourself.
That’s disgusting! What a sicko, I can’t believe you would admit to – oh, you know what, it just occurred to me that you’re not referring to what I’m thinking. Nevermind.
lindzgripes:
Ok, yeah, whatever. I direct you to the beginning of this thread, where I recommend not to take what I say seriously, cuz I’m just playing with everyone here. You’re on my list now, along with Jack Batty who should burn in the lowest depths of hell for starting this thread.
BTW, this is not email. This is a message board. If you’d like, I can train you in the intricate differences of all this online hocus-pocus stuff which you seem not to understand.
(Ok, people, how riled do you think that got her?)
and finally, StephenG says:
Yeah, you’re damn skippy!
Then I’m losing interest already.
You know, people, this is not Manday Night Football. Why does everyone insist on telling me where they went to college?
I used to jack off at least 10 times a day, but what’s that got to do with the hair on my palms?
Oh, I love Heinlein, great beer.
If you’re looking to meet someone, I could introduce you to Peculiar Pixie.
Well, we could meet, but nothing sensuexual would happen, me being a lesbian and all.
Geez, you gay people can be so closed-minded.
O.K. This is not email but a message board. SO Sorry I don’t know everything about this stuff because I find other things to do with my life besides sit behind a computer. Unfortunately I have a very borring job that permits me to write on this board. I am not a villian I just like to get other people riled up. It seems too many people take this a little too seriously- Laugh a little because I am laughing a you-
Crunchy Frog- I like your sarcastic sense of humor- not too bad
Do I have to share a list with this guy?
