To the newbies:

If this thread wasn't here, would you have posted on one of the other threads, or was this the impetus to jump in?

Hey Bruce I feel so left out, wheres MY "official" greeting?

Hi Onyx- I have posted a couple of times. It is nice to be invited to speak though.

lol I'm glad you didn't "wait to be invited". Welcome! I'm sure Bruce will roll out the "welcome wagon" soon.

My bad, I read the above and assumed you'd been officially welcomed. :blush:
To make amends I'll send you a picture of me naked. You can keep it in your medicine cabinet in place of ipecac. :lol:

can I have one? :blush:

Certainly Dear. :)
The Earl of Hurl, at your service.

:eek: Well Bruce it's good to see you care. I guess getting left out has it's perks. :D

Hi All!

Hi, I'm a newbie!! I'm glad that this thread is here - I hate to just barge in on a conversation, so this is nice. Thank you! :)

archergirl: You're not Sigourney Weaver by any chance are you?

That's interesting, then Syc had a good idea. Not that Syc doesn't have other good ideas....you know what I mean.
Anyway, welcome to the Cellar, glad you're both here. :D

Hello all, my name is Graeme and I'm from Scotland, just thought I'd properly introduce myself. :biggrin:

Hey graeme, I'm new too. welcome! :)

I guess I count as a newbie. And good to see that you used the "newbie" way of saying it. Apparently there is a difference between Noob and Newbie. I've been through so many discussions about the way you say it.

yo yo yo.

Hello she who is a newb as well. *bows curtly* it is a pleasure to meet you.

I didn't know there was a difference!!!! :confused:

Us noobs shall inherit the Earth!!

Noob, newbie, newby, newbe...bah. You're all members and you're all welcome. :)

Hello, after leaving a few posts in other threads thought I might as well introduce myself as a newbie.

Really enjoying the site

Hi gingerstar61!

Hi.

Welcome. We bid you ... Welcome.

Thanks, Dra . . . Wolf. :cool:

Not that it's important, but isn't there a welcome message at the bottom of the screen on the main menu - 'Welcome to our newest member xxx'...

Yes, but sometimes people sign up and then look around and get intimidated. They don't know where to start.
This thread gives them a place to make that first post, break the ice, with confidence that they aren't breaking some unwritten rule of posting or something.
If they've read a little of most of the forums out there, they have probably seen people harassed for some stupid net-etiquette bullshit.
Once they make that first post here, we've got them hooked. Bwahahahahahaaha. :headshake

The Cellar: Internet Crack. The first taste is free.

Furry muff. Welcome newtons, I look forward to conversing/debating/fighting with you in the near future.

Welcome to you all!!!!!!!!!! I'm a midbe...... be careful no room for the thinskinned. However, great group of people with much insight. Hang in there.... ;)

Hello Everyone.

I feel totally out-classed intellectually, surfing this forum. I opened the "thisisnotporn" thread, and wanted to shoot myself in the face! CheerS!

Is this where I go for Bruce to "catch me"? Please be gentle.......

Funny, opening that thread usually makes us want to shoot them in the face.

we don't understand where they came from. They just growed.

Welcome Boo-Yah and Tonchi.

Have fun.

Don't poke tw with a stick and you should be okay.

Hi to the ones I missed too. I see Ms Wolf has seen to your needs. :thumb:

either that or UT is developing multiple personalities like Marichiko.

bass player? where? catch it! quick!

I have a link to here in my sig on Harmony Central Bass Forum.

talkbass.com/forums is also a nice place to talk about bass.

Welcome to the cellar

would you like to take the quiz?

Oh my Dearest Cellar - Where have you been all my life? I thought I was alone in this wide weird world - now I know there are others as wild and wacky as me! Thank you for all of the joy you have provided in my lurking days - now that I've "commited" myself, I only hope I can keep up!

I gave up trying to "keep up" a long time ago.

Welcome!

Yes, Laura Dern is hot, and I promise not to STALK ANYONE, or ask for money, or for someone to design my web page for $50. $60 maybe..............: D

I'm glad you spelt that 'Ryche' not 'Reich'. Welcome Queeny. :)

It's a refleciton of my musical preference, rather than my socio-political beliefs :)

You're welcome to be the Queen of the German Empire, no matter what catwoman says.

Well, you might have to depose me first.

oh no, I could never dethrone you Wolf - I have much to learn from you, Grasshopper. (In fact your mind/wit/beliefs/arsenal are part of what drew me so strongly to the Cellar - I think we may be twins seperated at birth.)
But if you insist, goose stepping will commence at noon.

hey, i've got a shaved head and all... but goosestepping makes me a little nervous. could we just saunter, instead?

sashay if you must.............but can I get a Sig Heil? (I AM KIDDING, for those of you with no sense of humor. oh wait! I'm in the Cellar!)

I find that lately that's actually a bit too hard on the knees.

I'm looking at learning Tai Chi, though.

Check to see if your jackboots are too tall, this can interfere with your downstroke, causing knee pain...
I prefer Mai Tai to Tai Chi - especially on Fridays.

Is Queensryche touring this year? That's another show that I always meant to catch but never have.

saw them in Feb - did the whole Op:Mindcrime album, plus some oldies - just as good as ever - next up they're touring with Judas Preist - already got my tix.

Oh my...... *sniff,, sniff*..... Does anyone have a tissue??? I'm feeling a bit forclempt.

Tawk amongst yourselves.

I'll give you a topic - buttonholes.

They're for buttons, and they're holes! Although, sometimes the hole isn't big enough for the required button...

What the hell is forclempt?? :mg:

wolf wrote:

Its OK, Wolf. I think you're far enough ahead to outrun 'em! :eek:

It's either an archaic term for a surgical instument or he means verklempt.

I think (based solely on the SNL skit seakdivers is referencing) that it is a Jewish term for "overcome with emotion".

Hey, I'm right! Though one definition says it's "fake Yiddish", so Mike Meyers may have made it up.

Yeah - it's a SNL thing. I had no idea of how to spell it though.

Brianna wrote:

You'd think that would be the sort of thing they'd consider before going into production, no?

Not if it's outsourced.....

he means verklempt

So not only did I not get a proper welcome, I get called a guy???

Sheeeeeesh! :)

Don't take it personally. You were prbly wearing baggy sweats and comfortable shoes.

Your a chick? Who know.:confused:

Tonchi wrote:

Well, here's the scenario I envision, which may have absolutely nothing to do with reality. The factory where the apparel in question is made has this huge bin full of buttons, see? Whilst cutting the buttonholes in said apparel, one might naturally want to glance over at the button bin and see if the buttons in the bin match the size of the buttonhole before cutting, say, 50,000 buttonholes.

From what you're telling me, it sounds like they cut all of the buttonholes here - with no way of knowing how big the buttons are, then they ship the whole load of apparel to BFE to have the buttons sewn on, then they ship it all the way back. Is that what I'm to understand from all of this?

Now that's freakin deep. Even for buttonholes.

That's how the Pakistanis in those sweat shops get back at us for daring to request buttonholes in the first place.

A organized buttonholer conspiracy, huh? Well, that's just plain sneaky.

I'm a zipper person myself...

Hey all, I'm new to this website but think it KICKS ASS!!!! :D :cool: :rasta:

If you make the buttonholes too small we'll kick your ass. :lol:

Ya gonna pass that or what, Bogart?

Yeah, and so does meth. Plus, with meth you get to lose weight, not gain it. Then again, there is always reality. Which sucks but is both cheap and legal. Wolf will help you with your spelling errors. Won'tcha, Wolfie? ;)

Meth does make you lose weight, but also makes you paranoid as hell....... :worried: besides, pot isn't as addicting as meth.............makes ya happy and silly too............... :lol: :blkwht: as fer me, im a stoner fer life...... :rasta:

Ya, and meth has nail polish remover in it. BLEH YUCKY.

The spellin' looks fine to me !!!

That is probably one of the better-for-you ingredients.

lets not forget, meth makes your teeth fall out.
oh yeah eeerr

never tried this meth shit. In fact I haven't used any drugs other than alcohol outside of what the Dr. has prescribed since I left the service. But I don't look down on folks that do. Their life : their choice. I don't look up to them either.
I reckon it's in order to welcome all newbies. Whether they are dopeheads or not.

:rasta: I'm not a dopehead, and besides the only reason that weed isnt legal is because people can grow it, therefore the government wouldn't be able to tax a lot of it............a question i gots fer ya'll, how many people have you heard of driving high and killing ppl..........and meanwhile, u can hear all u want to about ppl driving drunk and killing ppl...........just a lil bit of my insight........sorry if i offended anyone......... :rasta: and im not dissin ppl who drink cuz i do it too........ :drunk:

I can grow basil, but the governmet hasn't banned that.

But if you are saying that there are far worse things out there than pot, I'll agree with you.

precisely glatt.......and i personally havent heard of anyone smokin basil.......but i might try it...lol :D

glatt wrote:

Basil isn't considered a vice.

a question i gots fer ya'll, how many people have you heard of driving high and killing ppl..

Too many :( Don't kid yourself...driving impaired with ANYTHING is lethal.

...........just a lil bit of my insight........sorry if i offended anyone.........

Quite sure no offense was taken, definitely not on my part. Hope you didn't think anyone called you a dopehead either. It was a GENERALIZED statement. I knew better than that by reading your profile info........
Welcome to the cellar, MJ&Me.......enjoy.

Sure it is.

First it's a leaf here and a leaf there, next thing you know, everything that comes out of your kitchen is covered in pesto ... it's all downhill from there.

Mary Jane and Me wrote:

Oregano is generally the spice of choice for smoking. ;)

Hey, spice doesn't rhyme with vice for nothing! Isn't there some spice that actually can get you high if you take enough of it? Cloves or something like that? And no, not poppy seeds.

:cool: Glad i didnt offend anyone........and just wanted to make sure ya'll didnt think i wuz a dopehead.........this site it the bomb......i love it and i want to thank ya'll for lettin me be part of it......... :rasta:
