The New Welcome Wagon Thread, newbies check in

ninevah bounces in*

Send the naked pics to the Frog. Sorry but rules are rules.

And I do like giving you the firehose. Again with the rules.
And then comes Waenara

Wow, you just seize the moment, don’t you? Shine on you crazy diamond! Next up, running with scissors, swimming after you eat and leaning the chair WAY back.

IcicleFuzz is asking for it

::raises the sneaker and :smack: ::

Lack of manners, amazing grasp of the obvious…this one’s a winner.

I can forego the Star Trek, and my keychain hasn’t had any problems starting any size trucks!!:smiley:

Well, damn skippy to you.

I’m considered a liberal AND a conservative by many friends.

And a floor wax and a desert topping! "

That’s my name & I’m sticking with it. “Okeydokey” is just the way I speak, which isn’t surprising for a floor wax/desert topping kinda’ gal.

Fireman–I like animals, big red trucks & I’m a TALL redhead…just keep that hose to yourself, at least until I know you all a bit better!

Ok, I’m up for some abuse. I’ve been around for just over a month, and while I’ve had a few people talk to me, they were mostly kinda pissed off (I politely asked the vegans not to criticize my food choices).

I like Hashing (hence the name), which has nothing to do with cannabis. It’s like follow-the-leader, but with beer. I made the front page of a local Boulder newspaper this week while engaging in this activity. You can see the story here.

I’m sort of a programmer, although I spend most of my time trying to not let anyone know that I’m completely lost and have no idea what I’m doing (it’s working so far).

I don’t have any nekkid pics. Consider yourself lucky.

Thanks fer listenin’,
JonTheNewbie

Short is good, tall is good too! I just like redheads.

A fireman always has great hose control!

And then there’s JonTheHasher

Now if that’s not the next Olympic sport, I will be sad. After all, the combination of a childhood game and alcohol. Just think of the possibilites…EverClear HopScotch, Tequila Hide and Seek, GoldSchlager Jump Rope.

hardygrrl clarifies things regarding naked photos

I do not want naked photos of anybody. Well, ok if you have some of Jeff Hardy or Rob Van Dam I’ll take those. The person who insists on nude photos, female only, is Crunchy Frog. Scientific research or something like that.
pam2, fireman, don’t make me separate you two.

I assume “newbies check in” in the title slug was an imperative?

Oh, well. When in Rome…

Being a vinyl geek is how I came to my SDMB alter ego…I am firmly convinced that music is meant to be consumed in 20-25 minute increments, and that every possible form of entertainment is better when consumed in two acts. This would explain why I catch up on the SDMB for an hour, then have lunch and come back.

I hereby solemnly promise that I will not invoke the name of a long-standing board member with a salutation as the third item of any list. Never, never, never.

Do I get a cookie?

You don’t know what you’re missing, hardygrrl.
Once you’ve had a fireman, you never go back. Trust me, they know how to use those hoses.

So you can have “thinking time” between? “Well gee, Steve and Blue found twoclues! I can’t wait to see if they find the third and :gasps: figure it out!”. :pant, pant, pant:

Sure, first you want a welcome, now I gotta bake for you ingrates? What’s next? Massages?

Umhm yeah, Hi…

Sidney Mussberger (from “The Hudsucker Proxy”) here. From Sweden and stumbled onto the SDMB when there was an all out Evolution vs. Creation war on Footballguystalk.com

I took one look at the “A sonnet about my new office chair”
and realized that I’d probably hang around here for quite a while. Must say I like this place from what I’ve seen so far.

Hello.

I’ve lurked for a time here but I am a newbie to the registration and posting processes. Believe me, if I’d seen this thread prior to posting my first notes, I’d have made this my first stop. We are nothing without our protocols and rules of order after all. Having seen the reaction to those who’ve overused the “I” word (I), one puzzles over how else to respond to a request for self-disclosure. There’s nothing about me you’d want to know anyway, but since that’s the drill here…

You’ll notice right off that I’m not innately clever, but I can toss the BS with the best of them (assuming the Them in question are also not terribly clever). I would like to say that in my misspent (or at least heavily mortgaged) youth I was twhacked repeatedly about the head and heart, resulting in minor damages and a few social quirks, so if you good people of the SDMB could take that into consideration you will find me embarrassingly grateful. Thank you.

::Tygrstickshisheadintothethreadjusttosaythathewouldgladlydrop875postsjusttobewelcomedasanewbiebyhardygrrlinsteadofthatnasssstyoldfrogperson::

Oy…

Sorry.

Tygr didn’t sleep at all last night and so his thumbs are too short to reach the spacebar this morning.

Hm. That didn’t make any sense. Looks like no sleep gives Tygr a case of posting like Kafka-with-Tourette’s. Should be an interesting***NIKTO!!!***day…

S. Mussberger makes his presence felt.

Whee doggie! A Coen Brothers fan. Do you wear jammies? With “Yodas and shit” on them?

Up next, Second Guest

Pfft. Your quirks cannot compare to Doper Quirks. We have people who have used dental products as masturbatory aids for christ’s sake.

And Tygr?

Decaf, babe. ::pats your head::

"ello Miss hardy

I’m apparently a nice guy, have convinced myself and others that I’m a creative person, enjoy amusing myself (no, not like that!) and others with humor and random ideas. I’m still slightly intimidated by much of the SDMB, especially the Great Debates (major brainpower there). I enjoy unusual things: buildings, clothing (I have a wooden tie!) and weird movies (as fits my name) and just general oddities, which is where the SDMB fits in. I like SG-1, the Daily Show, and other shows (including one which will cause me to get the hose) and read pretty much anything (but I can’t read 'em twice; I can forget my address but not a book I read a year ago :frowning: ) Oh, and GTA3. I have no idea what to put for my signature.

What kind of heroes show up drunk at a fight?

Well, I’ve been here a few months but I still have a low enough post count that I think I qualify as a newbie. I’m a 24 year old female. I went to a women’s college. I now work at a biotech company but I’m applying to medical school. I sing, make very good pies, and keep telling myself that once I’m back in shape I’ll start fencing again. I only post in frivolous threads because on the rare occasions that I have an informed opinion on a GD thread someone else has already said it.

How nice to be made to feel welcome. Perhaps.

Me:
Skeptic
Simpsons fan
Classical music listener (but not exclusively)
Middle child
40ish, single, childless

Preferring to remain gender-anonymous, for the time being, for the purposes of these boards (not in public)

What in the Sam Hell?

::fights the nasty urge to c/p the ‘amusing myself’ line::

Reads and comprehends? Ding Ding Ding, you win!

pendgwen waddles in

As in “womyn’s”? Did you bask in the light of a patchouli candle and recite Ani DiFranco lyrics?

Umm, well, I’d like to say sdfnsjdfnlsnflsnvlsn fl fcewjfnfnv

Sorry, passed out from sheer boredom and hit the keyboard with my skull.

Ow.
I’m pretty sure there were supposed to be a couple of :wink: 's in my post somewhere. But still…

Whohoo! What did I win?

What’s that? A once in a lifetime opportunity to have BANNED under my name? Damn.

OK hardygrrl, I’ll bite. But not hard, unless you’re into that sort of thing.

Although I lurked for quite awhile, I registered in March, 2002 and still have less than 100 posts so I imagine I qualify as a newbie. My first post, while not a blockbuster, appears to have been at least a critical success (Eutychus, among others, said nice things about it).

Like many people around here (here meaning on this board), I work in the tech industry. I read a lot, mostly SF, and have an unfortunate tendency to make bad jokes/puns (also like many around here). Living in Arizona, I’m a D-Backs and Suns fan, will root for the Coyotes on the rare occasion I watch or attend a game, and wish that Bidwell would either sell the Cardinals, or go away entirely (like many people everywhere). From the looks of this post, I also tend to use parentheses a lot (I’m not entirely sure why). I’m 33, I’m an Arizona native, and I’m married to an amazing woman.

On the whole, I find the people of the SDMB to be a delightful mix of posters, with contributions that range from the sublime to the ridiculous.
