A funny thing happened to me on my way to the forum… :rolleyes:
In actuality, this is my first visit to this forum, and my first post on any Straight Dope boards. This would make me a newbie, I suppose (as befitting the lingo of common AOL boards). :dubious: My dear friend Justin (whom I have not spoken with in quite some timem regrettably) hath invited me, and it only took two months to get here! So if I may introduce myself, or whatever you silly people do… I suppose I’ll just scout the board and it’s customs for a bit of time. Here is to fresh starts and new horizons.
As a semi-newbie, I caution you to beware of the Giant Rat, the persistent flocks of sheep, and the outboard motor. Also, some of the more irresponsible roaring can leave one carnally unenthusiastic, so I’d avoid that, and also steer clear of the insects – some of them are lethal. Stay aware that infrasound waves below twenty hertz have strange effects on the temporal lobes, so beware of the Gregorian chants, and if you start feeling baseless awe and feelings of unexplainable ecstasy I’d strongly advise that you run, do not walk, to the nearest aid station which is easily identified by the large friendly emoticon. Don’t worry, most of the emoticons, though animated, won’t actually eat a whole person.
Heh. I can certainly see myself liking it here. It’s nuttier than a Billy Bob family reunion. Let’s see… it’s just about time for me to make an utter fool of myself (in contingence with past board introductions), so keep an eye out for that if you’re looking for some cheap entertainment.
Zenster: I’m not related, insofar as I’m aware.
JessEnigma: I am indeed the same. It’s good to see you again! Had I known you hung around here, I would’ve said something.
Coldfire: But of course. I am all to happy to comply.
I apologize for the “creative” format… I didn’t want to clog up the board.
I simply wouldn’t be a very good stalker if I let everyone know who I was and where I hang out, now would I? Stealth is my middle name. Or it would be, if my parents had more originality.
But a few other people from the AOL boards do lurk around here, even if they don’t post. Perhaps they’ll emerge from the woodwork someday.
