this might not be a good idea

After (2 or 3, not sure) years of reading other people’s BS, I decided to add some of mine;

I subscribed to this amazing board.

Hello everyone!

Oook!

Ooook.
Welcome aboard fine gentleperson.

Welcome Aboard! :smiley:

Hey, you were here anyway, right? And now you can search, whee!

Would you believe almost five years? Your only other post (so far) was in May of 2002.

Welcome.

5 years?

how time flies…

Horace? Is that you?

Sheesh, everyone, where’s your manners?

Here, have a banana.

I was just saying to myself that we need a few more monk-- Ahem. A few more librarians around here.

Ook. But, quite honestly, eek.

Just don’t go all apeshit on us, okay?

If **Chronos ** is feeding him bananas, what other kind of shit could he go?

Amazing. I’ve heard of lurking, but this appears close to a record. I hesitate to try to welcome you since you’ve been around longer than I have.

Welcome to the membership, then.

What a fascinating user name and first post. Several mental images are forming:

A bookish gentleman reminiscent of Burgess Meredith in the classic Twilight Zone “Time Enough”.

A Chimp in a library reshelving the books and handling questions.

The really hot but mousy chick who is just waiting for someone to let down her hair and take off her glasses and frumpy sweater.

A strange new Superhero, “The Librarian”. Able to reference any information with blazing speed and far faster than Google or Wikipedia. Throws heavy tomes to incapacitate ruffians and hooligans and those who talk loudly in the sacred halls of the libraries.
The nice part is this image still works with two of three prior images.

Welcome out of lurkdom. Did you bring Banana Cream Pie for everyone?

Jim {By the way, with your user name we will expect impeccable cites. :wink: }

Enough of this Simian Sappiness!

Bring forth…The Squid, & let The Librarian be Initiated!

Fnord.

The squid is in that big tank next to the copier, so we don’t run out of ink. It keeps him away from the goat, as well. Hoo, boy, was that exciting! :eek:

Are you a Neo-Librarian, or a Classic Librarian?

Either way, welcome.

Close enough… I believe he’s actually an orangutan. And replace “superhero” with “wizard”.

yup -->Orangutan.

At least the Pratchett character is.

Btw thanks for the banana’s.

And Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor what’s up with the squid? (I don’t even want to know about the goat)

You don’t wanna know about the Squid, either!
Heh-heh-heh.

Just stare at the wall, and try & find you “happy place”.
