Oh man, I can see this is going to be an addiction for me. I have already started two threads. Guess I picked a bad time to stop sniffing glue!
Dang I love this place!
As a fellow lurker-turn-member, welcome aboard the SS Knowledge!

I feel like I have joined the “cool click” at school.

More like the geeky nerd squad, for the most part, but thanks!
[QUOTE=Buckwheat]
It’s just not right for a man my age to feel as giddy as a little girl about being here!

Well, just as long as you don’t make those obnoxious girl-shrieks like Bobby on “King of the Hill”…
[Texan accent on]THAT BOY AIN’T RIGHT![/accent off] …we won’t hafta’ cyber-zap you out of existence.
In other words, welcome aboard, guy!

You might be interested to know it’s “Clique”, and is properly pronounced as something approximating “Cleeck”, not “Click”. 
However, seeing as you’re new here, and (presumably) from the US, we’ll let it go. This time. 
Seriously though, welcome aboard! You’ve probably gathered we’re a fairly eclectic bunch here. The bar’s in the corner, the loos are third door on the right down the hallway, and you’ll find tea and coffee in the kitchen. Make yourself at home!

Both are acceptable, see Merriam-Webster Online.

How long have you lurked and you think Q.E.D. is cool? :eek:
Man, have YOU not been paying attention.

Dude! You stole my joke!
Dammit.
Et tu, Green Bean? You’re on the list too… Dammit, I lost my crayon again!
It might be easier if you just printed out a list of members of the Dope. Might save you some writing. 
OK, I am a dummy. I was trying to “bold” a part of anothers post and it showed up written twice, once in bold and once not in my post. I have read the coding rules which are provided in this forum, but somehow I blew it. See Cafe Society, “Do you read books…”
and my last post. What did I do wrong? Anyone? Anyone?
:smack:

This is a test.

To quote the inimitable and irrepressible Zaphod Beeblebrox, “I’m so cool, you can keep a side of meat in me for month.”

Piffle. Cool is nuthin’ – you got to be hip. Now, me, I’m so hip I can’t see over my pelvis.
Welcome, Buckwheat! Have you been studying up on obscure references to the Hitchhiker’s Guide, Monty Python, the Princess Bride, etc.?

The much more important question is:
Do you prefer the movies or the books of The Lord of the Rings?

I know of HH Guide of the Galaxy and Monty Python of course, but I am afraid I have never even heard of the Princess Bride. Sorry! :smack:

Oh-oh. Brace yourself for a mysteriously popular phrase: “I do not think that word means what you think it means.”
Or you could rent the movie of that name.

ah-HAH!! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never quote a cult film unless you can get the quote right:
Man, I think I am going to be in a heap of trouble, trying to understand all these things!
Hello, welcome.
