Hey Tuesday, if you stick around after Jough's prickly little welcome and the perv's...well, you got grit is all.

Yea, we seem to have lost all class around here. Or maybe it's just a today thing...
Howdy, anyway.

All I was saying is that the introduction didn't really introduce anything or give us any further info into the life of the OP that we couldn't have gleaned from her other posts.

Sheesh, people, if you're going to start a thread about yourself at least make it about yourself, because otherwise it just degrades (improves?) into a thread about how cute Hobot is, which ain't no kind of discussion to have among civilised people.

I um, actually have seen the scary fan mail he got in his inbox.  Some of you people are really fuck*ng sick, man.

I think some green folk introduced themselves before that, but I do not have the CJ powers to hunt these things down.

By the way, Cort, Doc totally wants your job.  Plus marriage.

Anyway, you can't be the resident cute girl with glasses unless you're actually like, a cute geeky girl with glasses. 

I'm just saying Hobot's reign is pretty secure here.  I mean, her avatar is the stereotypical image of a Cute Geeky Girl w/ Glasses on a tortilla.  Does it get any better than that?

I THINKN'T


Best I can tell Doc is right that Onstad was the first to start a "hi I'm new" thread. Others would just post to an existing thread then add "also, hi, I'm new" as more of a post script to that post.

I'm not sure abou the mega hugs from Doc. I'd need to see some pictures first.

NOBODY CAN EVER REPLACE OUR HOBOT

I still consider Hobot is a replacement for Andalucia.  Anda didn't have glasses though.

Let's be honest here: every subsequent poster has been, in some way, a replacement for jldunston. Even while jl was here.

JL Dunston can't be replaced.  That is why she is legend.

All I was saying is that the introduction didn't really introduce anything or give us any further info into the life of the OP that we couldn't have gleaned from her other posts.

  I  think the problem in general with introductions on this board is that there is no obvious commonality between all of us except that we read Achewood. I know when I wrote my intro I was thinking "what do I put in here? 'My name's Pimp_Skitters and I read Achewood'?"
  A short intro is better than those never ending autobiographies I've occasionally seen masquerading as introductions on other forums: "...And then we crossed the river Oder by moonlight, the icy waters biting into us as we fled to safety. Of course I knew he had attatchments to three other women at the same time, but I somehow felt this act of daring would draw us together forever. Little did I know how wrong I could be, but I'll save that part of my story until we get to it, as I still have a lot to tell before we cover the summer of '83... ... ...Anyway, I'm looking forward to posting on the Ice Cream Flavours Forum, and I hope you will all enjoy the recipes I post. They each have a meaningfull story attatched to them."

Yeah, Pimple Skittles, despite the awful nick and too-colourful sig, has brought the big swingin' dick to n00bdom.  We haven't seen anyone ingratiate themselves so quickly into the group since MisterQueue, and he's gone AWOL recently.

I am sorry for filling your hello thread with a bunch of crass comments Tuesday, I just miss Q is all. Also trying to write a talk for this goddamn conference and getting  nowhere. We are not always like this.
Except when we are.

Up until that sentence I had thought that avatar was the vice magazine website logo man... on a tortilla (No link sorry, look it up if you're curious).  Will this admission get me banned from the forums?

As for the introduction issue - while I don't think there's anything wrong with saying hi I personally didn't do one because I wasn't sure if I would ever contribute much to the forums.  And so far I er, haven't.

You actually look like my friend Ken in that photo - mostly because the dark shadow around your jaw/neckline looks like a four day growth of beard.
