Hi.
I’m hungry.
Do you prefer red or yellow fire hydrants?
What is your favorite constellation?
Who makes you smile?
If you could kill anyone in the world and get off scott-free who would it be?
If you could bring any famous person back to life, who would it be?
What is your favorite odour?
Does the smell of solvents bother you?
Do you have any dead pets?
Is there a question you would like to ask me?

Welcome, enjoy your stay.
The bathrooms and showers are down the hall - they are unisex.

I forgot to say “Welcome, Stormi”.
Welcome, Stormi.
Be sure to answer all these questions, in order, so we don’t get lost.

Oh, and whatever you do- don’t use the second stall from the left in the bathroom. Trust me on this one.

Hi.
I’m flattered… you really want to now where my name came from?
Just check my profile, I think that explains it adequately.
I suppose I could answer my own questions if you’re interested:
1. red
2. delphinus
3. my rat
4. Bob Saget? The Pepsi Girl? Brittney Spears?
5. Martin Luther king would be nice to bring back. Either him or Bob Ross, the afro-paint guy.
6. I suppose it would be turpentine
7. No
8. Yes, but some of my dead pets live on in taxidermed form.
9. I already answered that.
Thanks for answering! Welcome.

I had to go back and recount Turp’s post. At first I thought you would kill your kids if you thought you could get away with it 🙂

Hey! What’s the matter with the second stall from the left? That’s the one _I_ use all the time!

Gin Tastes like turpentine…
I like Gin Rummy…
Rum is good too…
ooh, RootBeer barrels…
I like those sweet, kick-ass candies…
I knew a Candy once… Candy Henry… she was a bitch…
I with my cousin’s bitch was still alive… she was a sweet old dog…
my uncles an old dog… he has a 56Harley that I want SOO bad!
I need a new deer Rifle… I want a Weatherby Crown Custom… but they cost too much money…
my co~worker’s car is another thing I want that is too much money… 1972 Mustang Mach1…
that’d be cool to go mach1…
if you went mach1, could you hear your car stereo?
what would happen to your headlights if you could go 186,474 MPH? that is the speed of light…
OK, enough rambling…

All the time? That’s why the rest of us shouldn’t use it, because you’re in there.

A few words of advice if I may. 😃
Use proper capitalization and all of that stuff from English class. Chief Scott has a conniption fit when he sees PostS tHaT LoOk likE this, or are horribly misspelled. He is also a fan of smileys.;j
Odd words are often used around here. Coldfire seems to be the resident expert on felching, FreakFreely can tell you all about squicking. A guy named Dry runs around here quoting Shakespeare a lot too. There is a search button on the top right of the page in case you want to look up the meaning of these words yourself. Almost everyone else has been grossed out by the explanation, so be warned. :eek:
Over in ATMB (about this message board) is a list of abbreviations in case you are wondering what people are saying when they use WAG and OP and other things like that.
Hmmmmmm, well that is all the usefull stuff I can give to you at this time. You have not been given the secret handshake yet, so I guess I’ll have to wait on anything else. 😃

Hi Stormi, and welcome to the boards. First, though, some questions.
1. How old?
2. How cute?
3. How desperate?
4. If the answer to the first 3 questions were: 20-25, very, you have no idea, then procede to question 5. Otherwise, please procede to the next post.
5. Wanna come over to my place?
Thank you for filling out this questionaire. You may now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

Welcome, Stormi.
The important thing is are you pro-Sting or anti-Sting? Apparently no one is Sting-neutral. 😉
