I'm new here! So hello! (I need a map and a guide)
:3eye: Cicero here,
I'm new around these parts. I'm in my 30's and am glad to find a group that seems to be of a more mature nature. So feel free to introduce yourself and I promise to be good (for now)!

Welcome aboard the SS Cellar - Fell free to mosey around. Not that I'm anyone with any say or significance here though. :)
Hi and thank you Yesman! Sure, I can mosey. But I'm better at sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong! And listen- I'll invite you to say and be significant. Yesmen have been scant in my life lately!
I'm new here too, but I'll say 'hey' and welcome. I'm being nosey and gradually posting here and there, getting to know who the important people are around here

hello! I'm partial to sharks and dolphins in the same measure.:D
Don't worry- I'm not scared of Dolphins anymore. Well- only in the dark.
...the important people are around here...
memorize this: "You're the Duke of New York, you're A number one!"

Hello! Sounds like Darwinism so far............hopefully my tower isn't about to eat me.:)
memorize this: "You're the Duke of New York, you're A number one!"
Hello Flint!
Now where are these important people? Who forgot to send out my invitations to the White House?!?:eek:
Welcome, Cicero. Good to see a new state represented. Lots of Pennsylvanians and Ohioans around here... Southwest posse solidarity! ;)
edit: too many non quiz posts in that thread. I'll just cut and paste one for ya:
1. Are you bigger than a breadbox?
2. Have you ever been in prison?
3. Are you older than any of your aunts or uncles?
4. Righty or lefty?
5. Do you put ketchup or mustard on a hot dog?
6. Who is the best rock band of all time?
7. Are you older or younger than 30?
8. If a train traveling 45 mph headed west, and 15 minutes later, a train traveling 49 mph follows it, how long until the second train catches the first?
9. Do you consider fish to be meat?
10. Do you believe we actually landed on the moon?
answer in your own words. and for christsakes, don't cheat.
you must get 70% or better to pass. good luck

Oh yea! Cheers Clodfobble. :D

None are important. Everyone is important. Some are louder than others but no one is more important than anyone else.
Hello Cicero, Welcome to the Cellar. :D
Important People on The Cellar
Undertoad (Owner and Proprietor)
Wolf (Mod and Venerable Armed Dwellar Exaltus)
xoxoxoBruce (Moderator and Probably the Nicest Guy Here)
The rest of us are scum. Don't even bother trying to schmooze us. We're schmoozeproof. :3eye:
Oh hey lhatcher, I just noticed your location. (Am I the only one who pays attention to those? I like to have a spatial reference for where posts are coming from...) Why are you moving to Houston?
edit: too many non quiz posts in that thread. I'll just cut and paste one for ya:
1. Are you bigger than a breadbox?
Slightly.
2. Have you ever been in prison?
Not yet. But I am looking for a place to get a free education and a vacation at the same time. Hopefully I'll go for something more interesting than a grotesque amount of parking infractions.
3. Are you older than any of your aunts or uncles?
Not that I know of.
4. Righty or lefty?
Yes.
5. Do you put ketchup or mustard on a hot dog?
I don't eat hot dogs anymore.
6. Who is the best rock band of all time?
There isn't one. There are many!!! Unfair- too unfair.
7. Are you older or younger than 30?
Another Yes. How did you guess?
8. If a train traveling 45 mph headed west, and 15 minutes later, a train traveling 49 mph follows it, how long until the second train catches the first?
:rolleyes:
9. Do you consider fish to be meat?
Yes, the only one I like raw. If a man really loves you he takes you out for sushi and hibachi.
10. Do you believe we actually landed on the moon?
Yes
answer in your own words. and for christsakes, don't cheat.

oh dear. you got 4 wrong. that's only 60%. tell you what, get 4.5 of these next 5 right, and we'll let you stay.
11. What color is a brown bear?
12. What is your quest?
13. how do you spell 'persnickety?'
14. knock knock
15. Who would win in a fight? Aquaman or The Green Lantern?
[QUOTE=lumberjim]oh dear. you got 4 wrong. that's only 60%. tell you what, get 4.5 of these next 5 right, and we'll let you stay.
Now wait a minute.......You didn't say what I missed. :right:
Uh-oh someone help- Lumberjim's giving me the axe.......:greenface
The rest of us are scum. Don't even bother trying to schmooze us. We're schmoozeproof.
Oi! Speak fer yerself...
4, 6, 7, 8. do you see the pattern? non answers are the only really wrong ones. it is possible to score more than one point on a question if you really nail it, too. don;t worry, i have no hand. just scads of respect (read fear of ridicule) from the collective. at any rate, i've been trying to axe one particular member for about 2 years, and the best i could manage was about a 3 month break. oh well. one day i will be king.
Oi! Speak fer yerself...
:worried:
It seems that my thread has been taken over by pirates already.*sigh* Oh well.

Hmmm..... I think they've been scoring my employment applications like that-too lazy to read a resume or call various references.;)
Thanks for helping with the job hunt!
Why would you actually try to axe another member anyway?:eyebrow:
i'll not color your perceptions by telling you why....or who. I probably shouldn't have brought it up at all. nevermind.
Don't listen to lumberjim - we let him out to play now and again, but ... :rolleyes:
A hearty 'hello' to all the newcomers...
Fresh blood is always welcome around here......
(especially so at this time of year, as we approach Hallow'en and the Feast on all souls... (oops, sorry, feast *of* all souls))
Oi! Speak fer yerself...
Okay...Hip is *not* scum, and I do not know the level of schmooze success association with Hip's presence here. Could be worth a try. :D
Hey, Cicero. I'm new here too, but too shy to start my own thread. :blush: A good thing, too - I'd definitely fail LJ's quiz. Non-answers are my specialty! :p
Hey man... I'm Rob. Always listen to what I say, I'm always right.
First, never pass-out around Flint, he'll do ya'.
LOL - My boss just came into my office to see why I was laughing so loudly. You all now have detention for getting me into trouble!!
The important people here are the ones who tell/type you what you need to know not what you want to hear. They are a great group of peeps many of whom I would love to party with - if I still partied that is. Then again they may be worth fallin off the wagon to get wasted with. Maybe I'll see how this drunken post night thing goes and decide later. Oh my, I'm rambling. You passed the test in my book - in fact I gave you extra credit for the "Yes" answers. You being new and not knowing and all. anyway have a great weekend all. :D
...if I still partied that is.
Then again they may be worth fallin off the wagon to get wasted with.
What?! You're frickin' wasted in the pic you posted! (and you got a real purty mouth)
Thats not the type of "partying" I was referring to, but thats me after only 3 glasses of wine. I'm an ultra-lightweight since I got clean some years back.
This conversation could get NSFW real soon! ha ha ha

Yeah,
right:rolleyes: , that is just your excuse. You're just a freak.
I'm at work!
But your
WANT it!
I will never, ever, discuss certain parts of my past across this intranet.
I was a working musician for years. I didn't do much of anything SFW...
Oh... I was a professional actor, and one in college, na!
Thanks rk and yesman- I feel that I should confess......nevermind, I'm just going to update my profile.
lumberjim i dont like your sig.
it scares me.
- sorry for writing in thsi thread but i noticed it while reading this thread so thought i'd post it here.
I'm new here too, but I'll say 'hey' and welcome. I'm being nosey and gradually posting here and there, getting to know who the important people are around here
That would be you.

I like to make cardigans look sexy. Yes it is possible. Nice work and nice to meet you McGee.
:)

Welcome newbies. I am probably at stage two of newby-ness. Sprouting roots...or is that moss.

Well hello! And Thank You.
And for my next thread I think I'm going to do a "do you think you are an important member on the cellar?" poll. :D Maybe a 1-10 scale, I don't know....I'll mull it over for awhile.
AVE ,
Well , as you once said yourself , Cicero , and which is , I think the philosophy behind Undertoad's forum :
Id quod est praestantissimum maximeque optabile omnibus sanis et bonis et beatis , cum dignitae otium .
Some of us have more leisure th

Hey, My Love, do you believe that we might last a thousand years if not for these flesh and bones?
how is that scary to you? it is from a dmb song. to me, it says, 'if our bodies were not mortal, and we were not limited by them to 70-80 years, do you think we'd stay together for a thousand?'

Welcome aboard Cicero.
Sorry for the delay, I was tied up.

Are you posting with your hair in rollers, wearing a housecoat, yet? :lol:
I've joined groups like this before, years ago, and there always seems to be a group that talks to each other. I guess what I meant by 'know who is important around here' I mean who is in that group. I tend to want to post comments to those people more than others as a way to join the group. It doesn't much matter if you're on a playground, at a party, or posting online.. we all want to be acknowledged and welcomed, not ignored.
Ohh, if you want instant acknowledgement....head
>>HERE<< and show some skin.
;)

I know what you are saying, lhatcher. Sometimes I think I am on everyone's ignore list, but it just seems that way (I think!)
Of course, posting boob pics gets you lots of attention but that's not my style. It would take a lot more than a few prods from cellar mates to see these babies! You pay for quality, you know. :rolleyes:
Welcome to the cellar!
@lhatcher: I have found that one thing creates "popularity" on a message board, and that is familiarity. Boardies are like cats, in this sense.

Welcome Cicero, lhatcher, and orthodoc. Don't worry, you'll get the attention you need ... :unsure: ... :D

Maybe when Sundae Girl wins that lottery you can see about borrowing some from her.:blush:
""Oh hey lhatcher, I just noticed your location. (Am I the only one who pays attention to those? I like to have a spatial reference for where posts are coming from...) Why are you moving to Houston?""
my husband's job is moving there and 'wither thou goest' and all that, I'm with him. I can be happy anywhere.
Is there any place you would absolutely NOT live under any circumstances?
Yes, in the city....any city. ;)
but most especially New York city...
Deeeeeeeeeeeeee Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite!
Eskimo?

Not so much! Thanks though- Been to doctors and guess what? I don't need meds. They turn me away..........Really, you're too kind though. :D
And my quote? E.M. Cioran- Metaphysical Philosopher/Poet. This quote is for anyone who is deeply interested in their chosen field. There are different views on Classical Metaphysics I realize, but that's not the issue is it?
Am I crazy? Yes. Do I "need" "help"? No. Doing great!:)
And genuinely more happy than most of the people I can think of.....If that makes me crazy- so be it!!!:eyebrow:

The Charlatans UK
You'll get guff for that answer, but not from me.
Nothing wrong with the Charlatans. Yeah they're good. As for all time? I don't know about that.
Wait a minute......Why would you go to prison for public intoxication, seems like a stiff sentence for a minor problem.......care to elaborate?
Huh,you must have tried to rob a bank too.
Where are my manners?.....welcome!
I was underage, stumbling home. I guess that's the policy. I had to take off my shoelaces and belt, then fell asleep in my own cell on a metal cot with drainage holes drilled in it. I slept well though. They asked if my friends were going to pick me up and would I like a photo taken, which I wish I had done. Then they gave me a plastic cup of not cold enough milk and let me go at 7am that same morning. There was a $40 fine.
What's wrong with the Charlies? I also like the Stones and U2 but those seem like lazy choices that deserve your guff.

Yea sounds a little more like jail. Not actually "prison" but hey, great story.
I think you passed though. I didn't but I think they are letting me get by on the sliding scale. I don't know some mention of a quota of this or that or the other.:D
Jeez Simon, I was going to give you a perfect score until you said the Stones. :lol2:
