Something Else (Describe in Post)

[pmcd9]

Which Cheers character are you?

Lots of new "regulars" around here these days.  If you don't mind, please take a moment and tell us a little bit about yourself. 

About me..., well, I think I'm probably a Norm of the board.  I'm generally well liked I think.  Friendly, self effacing, like to be around other people.  A little bit doofus at times.  Can be a fuck up too, but can always be counted on when I'm needed.  Willing to make friends with anyone, even the Cliff Claven's of the world.

[jaydub]

I am, without a doubt, Cliff.  I try not to preface my comments with "Its a little known fact...", but I probably come off with that air.  Also, I do not have a New England accent.

[JorgeFabregas]

I think the Cheers angle may make introductions more difficult. The noobs may not have watched a lot of Cheers.


I have not watched a lot of cheers.

[AugustWest]

I dunno.  Maybe some unholy amalgamation of Frasier Crane and Woody.

[wombat]

I am not a noob, but I have never watched Cheers. I have lived in Boston where I understand it took place, but that's it.

[dejavroom]

I've never watched "Cheers" also, but that's easy: I'm any of the drunk dudes that's either screaming mouthfuls of hostile nonsense at the ceiling or passed out on the counter (they have those, right?)

[littlefallsmets]

I am probably somewhere in-between Frasier and Cliff, I guess. Which probably isn't that good a description, yeah. How the hell do you sum yourself up in an introduction to new people? I dunno.

Generally liberal but in that blue-collar upper Midwest kinda way where the environment and such are nice but lets get on that all after we fix the economic inequity problems first. Agnostic but ethnically Catholic, sort of married to that as an identity the same way some Jewish ladies and fellas are non-observant but still value the idea of it as a cultural signifier. Grew up in rural northern New York state, live in the bottom-of-the-middle-class suburbs of Los Angeles. Worthless film/TV degree from Syracuse University. Tall, early thirties, male of Southern and Eastern European stock.

Love the hell out of baseball, love the hell out of prog rock. Prone to anxiety attacks, prone to engaging emotionally before engaging intellectually on a topic and getting into trouble because of it. I know just enough about nearly everything to have an opinion but not enough about most things than to have a marketable talent. Consider myself a writer but have gotten wedged into a strange day job situation so as to help my younger brother through some medical problems and most of that has stalled.

I also tend to ramble which is only amplified by the fact that I type very quickly. I am Mike, hello.

i have watched cheers, but i was young and probably more interested in g.i, joe, so i dont remember a lot of specifics about the people.  like, i know enough that i understood and enjoyed the comic of when beef came back from the moon and his friends gave him the treat of a cheers themed 'welcome home' party.

i am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

i am a humble fellow who has been gaining confidence in the past 3-4 years.  im a 20-something from mars, and i dont care. ( i actually do)

i finally started my post-HS education in june after becoming a 'displaced worker'.

i enjoy to express myself creatively(writing, drawing, etc), but i feel that  i am not talented or driven enough to make a living at either.

i dont have a babymama, nor have i helped create any babies.

i am large in stature and fatter than i should be.  i am also, half beaner and half cracker.

my hair is gorgeous.

i endeavor to be reliable and helpful,and i have been known to be "too damn nice", but thats another thing about me that i have been changing in the past 3 or 4 years.

im a taurus and a dog.

i like long walks in the forest, during the fall, especially, and i am a snuggle slut.

I'm like an unfunny Costanza. Oh, wait, Cheers?

[Carlos del Vaca]

My nickname in high school was Norm.  I kid you not.  One of my favorite high school memories is arriving at a basketball game late, and a guy in the student section stood up and yelled "It's Noooooorm!"  Whereupon the whole section went "Noooooooorm!"

So.  I like to cook.  I like baseball.  I have a wife and two little kids.  I have a stuffed otter that looks just like Onstad's.

[smick]

I'm an unpaid extra that happened to be walking by the sound stage while on vacation.

I'm the guy that was at the table over by the door in the episode where Sam bought a Volare.

[wombat]

I am not a noob, but I have never watched Cheers. I have lived in Boston where I understand it took place, but that's it.

I suppose in the context of this thread it is worth pointing out that this is a typical post for me, lamenting that I have no idea about some item of popular culture that is being discussed. I swear I am really not as out of touch as it seems. I think I typically claim that also.

[JorgeFabregas]

Paul, this has turned out to be an excellent thread.

Can I be cousin Balki?
