Linus Van Pelt drags his blanket
So you worship at the altar of the Ugliest Man Alive, Randy “I call myself the Big Unit because I have issues with my penis” Johnson?
Crunchy Frog eagerly awaits.
Oh, sure. Make fun of Randy. I suspect, however, that being a Cubs fan, you simply have Johnson envy. I shouldn’t pick on the Cubs fans too much, however. They bring a lot of comfort to many baseball fans. Red Sox fans, for example, can comfort themselves by saying, “Well, at least we’ve won more recently than the Cubs!”
Well, let’s see. I’ve just picked on two of the most rabid groups of fans in the history of any sport. I probably should…

I will behave (for now). I sure hope Crunchy Frog likes to share!!
Um cautiously approaches the board Okie doke, I’m up for a little abuse. You can do no worse than the kids with whom I go to school, anyway. I’m a pretty new member. In case you care about my stupid life and details, I will include some useless and boring information about myself. My (real-life) friends call me the Jabberwock, based on a stupid game I play with tree branches. This here is only my third post.
I’ve lived in Louisville, Kentucky all my life… It’s like a little gem of culture and beauty enwrapped in a big redneck snot-rag of a state. I’m an only child and a high schooler. Music is all I give a crap about… BAND GEEKS UNITE!!! (sax/tuba here) I’m in to Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Lit, and Five Iron Frenzy (which is ironic, as they’re a Christian band and I’m a pagan) as well as assorted jazz and classical things. I love the Straight Dope because it’s handy to be able, once the conversation starts lagging, to say, “Did you know pigs have corkscrew-shaped dicks?”
That’s all. Let the making-fun-of commence. And know that I love each and every one of you anyway, because you have given my life direction and enrichment the depth of which you will never know. Ok, that was a load of crap, but I love you anyway just cuz. Breastmilk pancakes.
Linus Van Pelt feels the need to say
And one of my best friends from here, blur, is a Yankees fan. I suggest hiding in a cave.
Here comes The Jabberwock
Awww. Excuse me while I sob quietly yet beautifully. A single crystal tear slowly running down my porcelain cheek…BREASTMILK PANCAKES? WTF???
If that’s in your pancakes, I hate to see what bodily fluids lurk in the Cream of Wheat. I’m going to go projectile vomit. No, you can’t have it for a sauce either.
I found the SD in the Washington CityPaper while working in the projection booth at the K-B Fine Arts in ’85, and found the site a couple of years ago, but just stumbled onto the SDMB recently. Have accomplished approximately nothing since diving into the discussions here. The Bride flips you lot an elegant manicured bird.
After earning a BA from the U.W.-Madison, I fled to Taiwan and EFLed my way through the 90s. This will be my defense in the event of typos, faulty syntax, and slippages into Chinglish. Between classes, I’ve gained a daughter, learned to speak awful Chinese and provide MacGuyveresque life support for my ancient PC, and started to make pretty good photographs. Kind of nice to have entirely missed the O.J. trial, BJgate, reality television, Eminem winning a Grammy, etc., but with the Sprout approaching school age it’s time to return to the home planet. If all goes according to plan, this forum will be good acclimatization practice to minimize reverse culture shock. Have you all changed the secret handshake?
Hi, my name’s WavyDavy. Been here awhile, but only while I’m at work. Most of my posts have been in the recent World Cup related threads. I’m restoring an old stone farmhouse and I love gardening. I’m 45. Nice to meet you Hardygrrl.
This is getting awfully sappy, hardy. These newbies are standing in line with their heads bowed just waiting to take some punishment.
Listen, kids, if it were only about the abuse, Welcome Wagons would be in the Pit.
Actually, maybe you should all go there and not come out until you’ve cut your teeth with some real rakings over the coals.
Be sure to leave us all relevant bank information before you leave.
Another newbie checking in. Not really coherent at the moment, so, I am unsure of what I should write.
I’m female, closing in on 32 years of life, divorced mom of 3 kiddos. The first two planned during my whole marriage stint, the third, a mere babe, was an oopsie, and conceived before either my boyfriend’s, or my own divorces were final(though we’d both been separated for extended periods of time). I am suppose to be a college student(again), but (again), I’m doing the mommy thing, for now. At this rate, I’ll be getting my degree, and starting out my career as a Forensic Psychologist around the age of 80.
There are a few shows that I enjoy watching, but, basically I don’t watch TV. If it’s not something the kiddos are watching, it’s not on(except on those very rare occasions I might rent a movie). I love movies, and don’t spend enough time watching them, same with books.
I’m 5’ 4", 115 lbs(yes, got back down there 3 mos after having my third baby), have long, wavy, red hair, tattoos, and a couple of body piercings, and am exceptionally silly.
That’s good enough for now, I suppose.

It’s like the time when I was 7 and I went to the public pool and climbed to the top of the high dive and there was a really long line of big kids behind me on the ladder and I got scared…
So here goes.
31 (this month), married (happily even), two boys (1 and 3), five cats, one dog, cool job, tolkien collector, beer enthusiast.
I like most everything you can do outdoors as long as it doesn’t involve motors.
I hate license plate frames that say “Alumni of Don’t know the difference between singular and plural State University.”
I have added The Straight Dope to the Monty Python/Spinal Tap/Tolkien/They Might Be Giants/The Onion meter stick by which I measure all people.
Flame on Human Torch.
Cheers.

And in return, the Hardy grabs her boobage and says “Oh yeah? RIGHT HERE!” Because if I’m anything, I’m ladylike.
WavyDavy bounces in to say
Soccer? Yippee. You know what would make soccer more exciting? If they played on skates, and with sticks…and fought during games…ummmm, maybe on ice?
Someone asked Gorgon Heap to open his piehole?
Damn skippy they are. It’s the way things should be.
VDarlin chimes in
This one is honest, at least.
Ol’Gaffer shares a special childhood memory
And you wet your Snoopy Speedos, and everyone laughed, and your mom wouldn’t look you in the eye?
Pfft. If I’m a comic character, I’m Dark Phoenix.
If you’re Dark Phoenix, can I be Dark Wing Duck?
Sorry, babe, you’re the Brooklyn Brawler
