Yes, I think you did it right, I do not know how they "pin" the thread though.

I said this last thing on the previous page thread and wanted to make sure Aresen gets the message (again), so stop jumping around now:

you guys are totally making your own heroin

Actually, I prefer making my own heroines.

I was going to ask who is Marshall Matt Dillon, but, like a good boy, I decided to google him and save you the trouble (and save me Shem's slap on the back of my hand for my often silly questions).

What, some sort of a blog version of multiple-identity Jason Bourne (I am too young for 007)?

Welcome Matt, whoever you really are, but especially if you are "Other Matt"!

Now now, there's no such thing as a silly question. Just a silly person. And that doesn't seem to be you. Besides, I'm famous for being too lazy to look for things myself; just ask kwix.

Besides, if I had really wanted to deliver a slap on the wrist, I'd have sent you here.

You answer questions? You're a really good teacher. I just made my students fight in Thunderdome to get their questions answered.

True for now, but barring Sam Waterston dying or actually running for President under Unity '08, Law & Order only has two seasons for the tie and three FTW.

You should have seen the fun I had with a military ID that didn't say the same thing as my driver's license, trying to get into Camp David back in the just post Reagan/Bush v 1.0 era (when security actually meant something up there, under Clinton, not so much). It was a hoot (not) trying to explain to three well armed individuals that I really was who I was and I had business there...really, I did.

Thanks again.

Welcome to Aresen and Matt!

Welcome.

The weather's a little better in Victoria, eh? Although Calgary (though I'm not so sure about Edmonton - maybe to far north for the Chinook?) is right balmy compared to Regina (which is a pit for reasons having nothing to do with the weather).

As a Roughrider fan, I fear we must remain sworn enemies. :)

The first CFL game I saw ever was the Eskies and Saskatchewan at Taylor Field. I had no idea what was going on.

A hearty welcome to everyone who has arrived at Castle Grylliade after me. Should we all act like typical immigrants and demand that David pull up that drawbridge now?

I was in the second wave of immigrants, some months after the founding. (I needed help getting over the border, past the guards on my side of the corporate firewall. The Viking Moose arranged it for me.) I still feel like a lucky recent arrival, so I tend to be pro-immigrant.

However, I do worry about our little gulch becoming so populous that it suffers from sprawl, traffic congestion and crime. Perhaps we can preserve the character of our community with the right urban planning ...

He had an account on the old boards.

Urban planning joke.

Let me be the first to welcome DarkLustfulWoman to these inviting shores.
Welcome!
Brucha haba'a

Well, "DarkLustfulWoman" wasn't the only new user showing up. There was also another "DarkBroodingPerson" showing up at around the same time — the first new users we've had in two months, and they both show up within a minute of each other? Unlikely. So I deleted the accounts, which might have been rash. So, if DarkLustfulWoman wants to have posting permissions . . . sign back up.

More subtle than LoneWackoPostingUnderAnAlias, though.

Who is wrounde? Where is he? I can't see him.

Oh, he's a wrounde somewhere ...

EDIT: Oh, David's wrounde. I should have known that. David's always a wrounde.

This thread would be a fine opportunity for SandorT to introduce him/herself with a short (minimum 5,000 words) essay descibing her/his past, life ambitions, political philosophy, number and age of offspring and prescribed medications currently used. Eye color and tongue length remain optional information of course.

Greetings, SandorT.

Awwww, and just when Aresen was starting to own it.

Welcome SandorT

meh

Absence is not exactly evidence of mens rea. Maybe he(she?) just thought it would be a nice site to drop by occassionally. We've seen TWC once in the last 5 months, so I don't think it means anything.

OTOH, until SandorT shows up with a posting that shows he is not a troll, I'm not surrendering my nOOb card.

No idea who he is. I have a vague feeling I've seen the handle before, but that could be due to a similarity.

Unless "Sandor" is a cognate of "Daniel", of course. ;)

EDIT: Checked a few name websites. "Sandor" is a South Slavic cognate of Alexander. Daniel is Hebrew in origin.

Maybe it's Dan T. taking off of that origin point

Wow, I note the changes in the comment form. I use them not however.

Hey, we've got somebody new!

Welcome to strat!

How did you find us?

Hmmm... does the site usually look more like this to you?

Welcome, strat. I'm glad you are a real poster who has made a real, honest-to-goodness non-troll post. We seem to have acquired a substantial number of ghosts lately, not even counting the wringer.

Hello, strat! Welcome aboard. I too would be curious to know how you found us; we like new people, but we don't get too many around here. (And at these prices... *rimshot*)

Speaking of which, guys, when is it gonna end? That paddling from Stevo last night was rough. Also, I'd like to take off the mask.

A plethora (OK two) of n00bs to abuse.
Pull up a chair litjens999, you can start by explaining your handle as an icebreaker.

There's gotta be a Satanic 69 joke in there somewhere.

Nine Cube - sounds like one of those hippity hop guys.

The 9ster is mostly posting in the Music forum so far.

Perhaps he was attracted here primarily by our musical tastes, as unlikely as that might seem.

It was an accident. But if lunchstealer insists on wearing a Shannen Doherty mask, he just has to expect that that will happen sometimes. Simple mistaken identity.

Let me be the first to welcome our new Venezuelan Grylliader.

Hello rana.

Welcome, rana, from one of the other furriners.

EDIT: Sorry, Ali. Almost forgot.

Hola, rana!

Welcome rana!

Don't worry, now that you're a member here, if anything goes wrong on the intertubes, feel free to blame it on Warren.

Fixed. (My Spanish teacher is forever taking points off my quizzes for failing to start exclamations with a "¡" and questions with a "¿," so I figured I'd play the grammar pedant here.)

That's it Stevo. Let the LoneWackiness out. Confront your inner xenophobiac.

I meant to type "punctuation" instead of "pronunciation." My apologies.

The problem with putting the upside-daisy "!" in front of words is that, nowadays, it makes everything look like an overly exuberant commercial for Apple.

As in: iPod!

So: iRebel!

I feel so close to Aresen at this moment as I polish off another beer that was imported this day from Canada (according to its label).

Oh, and kittens.

Hold the mayo!

Howdy as well. :)

Tow the Lion!

Tow the lion!

(See how effective this imagery is? The woman in green is obviously a conformist, a strict follower of the rules or "the party line," because she is towing something. Yadda yadda living language blah blahbby bleh bleh.)

someone take down the furry pic! You guys are going to bring down the wrath of 4chan up in this biznitch.

You know, at work I use a text-mode browser, so I don't see pictures. I might start doing that at home too, Stevo.
