Hi all! New poster here!

What, you’ve never heard of an iddaoeeok*?

Welcome, Etumretniw!

*A cleverly disguised, alternate spelling of idiiiiooooot, if you must know. Forget I mentioned it.

Whatever you do, don’t touch your antinamesake. The resulting explosion could very well destroy us all.

Not Sir Blah, anyway. (Was that intentional, Hal? Because I never would have caught it if you hadn’t piqued my curiosity.)

(And if so, perhaps you should see about changing your username here to Haa Briston?)

Welcome, bizzaro Wintermute.

Holy Crap! I just saw that, how cool…

Oh yeah, and hey backwards Wintermute - I know some people out my way with that last name. Until I saw your location, I thought you mighta been one of them.

I like you better as NOT one of them, so I’m relieved.

Here, have a margarita.

I guess one of these days I really should request that name change from the mods.

:wink:

I fixed your typo.

Sorry, LOUNE, but you just removed LifeOnWry’s rather clever joke. Though I have to admit I missed it entirely until you brought my attention back to her (?) post. I do appreciate your posting right after me, though.

Oh man! Now I’m reeeaallly confused! Are the forwards and backwards spellers different people?

And how come the backwards spelling guy has a join date of Feb. 2006 if he just joined?

So many questions!

He didn’t say he just joined, he said he just became a Member. Presumably, he initially signed up back in February of last year, but didn’t pay the subscription fee until just recently.

Welcome to the SDMB.

Ah, thanks, I thought it might be something like that. He did say that he had been lurking for a while.

So Etum, you been lurking for at least a year now? What made you decide to break the silence after all this time?

Another welcome, from down here. :slight_smile:

Heh…I just did a search for posts I’ve made containing the word “blah”. It brings up nine threads in which I’ve explained the Sir Blah/Hal Briston connection. :slight_smile:

But yes, it was very intentional. In fact, take a peek at the home page listed in my profile.

Also it’s an anagram of Wiener Mutt.

Yeah, like I EVER pay attention to anything around here. Sheesh.

[SF nerd ON] I think he’d drink a Gibson :wink: [SF Nerd OFF]

:smiley: cute!
