Is this the right place for introduction threads?
 

I'm a little lost, you see. :)

My name is Sarah. I like trying different hot sauce flavors, approaching strange dogs, and any rock song that uses the handclap sound. I dislike sitting at my desk, ringtones that have actual song lyrics, and avocados.

In terms of more practical information, I live in the Washington, DC area and work in web development. I'm in my early twenties and taking a year off of school before going back to attempt to get my Masters and PhD in Rhetoric. During the time off, I am also studying dance, doing some volunteering for feminist/GLBT groups, and (yay!!!) getting married.

You all seem pretty cool, and I have been looking for a place to talk about random stuff. Sometimes I am very longwinded and I have a tendency to take things too seriously, but I am friendly and unlikely to make too many annoying grammar/spelling mistakes. I hope that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendshipi!

Hi Hime. I don't know if you've had an actual welcome to the Cellar, but welcome!

"Friendshipi"? hehe Sorry, couldn't resist!

Welcome!

Undertoad (The Management), Bruce & Wolf (The Moderators) tend to welcome people as and when they notice their first posts, but here's a welcome from me -a poster. Welcome!

I hope you stick around and get to know us.

Introduction threads tend to wither and die here - we get to know people gradually, once they've decided to stick around. It's good to get some information up front though.

How did you find us?

Welcome to the Cellar!

Hot sauce and strange dogs? You've come to the right place.

Spelling errors? Look out for Zippy - he's the spelling Nazi. :-)

Personally, I've lost count of how many hot sauces I've tried but I keep coming back to Tobasco.

I liked your intro, Sarah! Welcome. :)

I found you because my brother used to be into photography and he was always sending me links to the Image of the Day. I don't think he ever registered, though.

I can't believe I misspelled "friendship"! I think it's because I wrote "relationship" and then didn't want it to look like I was flirting with anyone... except Shawnee 123. How YOU doin? :p

Damn, just my luck...finally someone flirts with me and it's another woman, while mistaking me for a guy...an engaged woman at that! :blush:

Hello and welcome Hime, from another "new" Cellar Dweller!

Hime's getting a quiz.

1. Who would you tell first if you found out you were pregnant?

2. Sunrise, or Sunset?

3. Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

4. In one word, describe the color blue.

5. Ketchup or Mustard on your Hotdog?

VI. On a clock with Roman Numerals, why do they use IIII as 4?

7. Who's that behind you?

8. Is it possible to be 'too sexy for your shirt'?

9. If you had to make a hat out of meat, which meat would you choose, and why?

10. What happens when you hold your [shift] key down too long?

she didnt say she was getting married to a dude. and your user title gives away your femininininity. also, there's the feminist/ GLBT bit.....what's the T for, do you think? so, don't lose hope!

I object to question 7 in that it gives me The Fear.

Welcome to the cellar Hime. You'll certainly be given your ration of crap from the others here, so I'll pass. In the meantime, may I have your avocados?

this was not your quiz, duckie. did you get one when you joined? it's too late now, i was just wondering....

is anyone still here that got the quiz upon introducing themselves? I might be a mush.

Can I have your banana?

I can object anyway, as I was forced to read it by virtue of it being here. The way Prince turned male children to the gay after watching him on TV.

No, I didn't get a quiz from you, you misery. I got a grilling from Slang after picking him up on his use of a word that's derogatory in Britain. Here.
We got on after that though.

I didn't get the quiz. I'm still here. Since there's no control group, determining a causal relationship is impossible from this sample. But feel free to make up some stuff.

I didn't mistake you for a guy... I like humans of all configurations. ;)

1. Who would you tell first if you found out you were pregnant?

I would tell my fiance, but it would probably come out as "um, sweetie, I have something to... uhhh..."

"what?"

"well, it's just that..."

"what?"

"You know how sometimes, things just..."

"honey? What's wrong?"

"well... we might not be going to DragonCon this year."

2. Sunrise, or Sunset?

Sunset. Sunrise usually means that I stayed up all night doing something stupid again. :p

3. Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

Yeah. He wants to know why your mom never calls anymore.

4. In one word, describe the color blue.

Notorange.

5. Ketchup or Mustard on your Hotdog?

No hotdog for me, thanks, but extra fries.

VI. On a clock with Roman Numerals, why do they use IIII as 4?

Because it's fun to pronounce it "aye-aye-aye-aye"?

7. Who's that behind you?

I don't know, but I wish he'd quit staring at my ass.

8. Is it possible to be 'too sexy for your shirt'?

Depends on the shirt.

9. If you had to make a hat out of meat, which meat would you choose, and why?

Probably pork, because it doesn't smell as bad as raw fish or chicken and probably doesn't have prions in it.

10. What happens when you hold your [shift] key down too long?

The keyboard gets really happy and then falls asleep afterward.

:eek:

Well....okay.

Have fun!

I'm liking her.

yeah, but you're easy. you even like me. I'm sure you're right though. Seems a peach.

lj--I never got the quiz. :neutral:

Hime--if you stay that funny I might turn into teh ghey. :D

lj (again)--I don't even know what GLB stands for, let alone adding a T

Gay, Lesbian, Bi, and Transsexual. :) I'm a performing-arts type, so that covers just about everyone I know.

that's cuz I thought you were Cheyenne, and had just changed your name.

Two replies:

Snarky: Are you really the last person on the planet who hasn't used Google?

Standard:Google is your friend.

@ lj--no problem...shawnee, cheyenne, shazbot, whatever. :)

@BigV--dammit, I usually do google everything. I guess I just wanted the personal touch. :rolleyes:

Sheldon!

I know the feeling. :comfort:

I hope you get all you need.

PhD in Rhetoric?!?
Please, please stick around, I'd love to see the symptoms.

Say...... you don't know anyone in the Tlingit Shakespeare company, do you?

Touch!

My feelings are hurt. I thought I was running neck and neck for that title. Guess I need to put forth more effort.

Damn right you need to put more effort into it! Look at those sentences...they're perfect! And the words...they're spelled perfectly! Man, Buster, you're terrible at destroying a post!

heh heh. Or less, as the case may be.

I think you're doing just fine. After all, your user title is supposed to be NASA Beefed, right?



lj, I didn't get no quiz neither. But I reckon you just had me on ignore from the get-go. There was a leak, someone warned you. Did somebody just post?


hime. welcome. you sound like you're already at home, but where in the hell does the user name come from? Mentally I keep calling you hymen. Which may or may not be a good thing.:3_eyes:

:D

Hime ("hee-meh") means "princess" in Japanese.

(high - me) .......means 'big jew' in racist jerkish

i dont really ignore you monster, i;m just playing hard to get

hard, hmmm? Some don't have to play -have you considered Viagra?


Hey, you want Jewish racist -we called out first born Hebe. :D

(of course we were in the UK then -who knew....?)

Duh, not sure about that but, NSABFD to me is "not such a big f@#king deal."

I'm amazed. I never noticed the IIII on the clocks. Now I wonder why.

;)

because IV might be poisonous?

Hime - Nice to meetcha!!

Lj - I didnt get no freaking quiz either, but I woulda answered at least one question with a rude pic to take your mind off the rest of my answers :)

well let me know if you find out. i noticed it and assumed that the clock maker had fucked up, but then i saw it a few more times. wtf?

Y'know I don't remember if I got tha quiz......so probably not;P

Ans to No. 9: Ass meat......so then I'd have an Asshat.

Oh....Hiya Hime. Nice to 'meet' you.

The Great Clock (in the Clock Tower which houses Big Ben) the numbers are correct. This article lists the exceptions.

I had never noticed the 4 before.

Oooooo. Thanks for that link! That was fascinating! I had no idea that the use of iv for 4 was a fairly recent development:)

Correct -- Hime means Princess in Japanese, and Sarah (real name) means Princess in Hebrew, so it's sort of a loose translation. :) I started using this name online because the fiance (then boyfriend) used a Japanese name on a different forum, and I wanted one that matched his. People elsewhere on the 'net have assumed that it's an anime thing, but his name actually came from the role-playing game Legend of the Five Rings. I like anime ok but I'm not a really intense fan (don't go out of my way to download fansubs, etc).

Bruce, ha! :) No, but I do know a former Shakespearean actor from New Zealand. Tlingit Shakespeare sounds like a fun thing to write a paper on.

oooh... and a Beltway Bandit! You'll fit right in! Welcome!:)

You don't know any straight people?

Welcome.

Rump roast.

3foot's link says Notice the word hypothesis which means they don't know for sure.
Also Big Ben was built after the time the 2 bell system was supposed to have faded. Does Ben ring 2 different bells?

I think that all sundials made prior to the 19th century used IIII and that IV was an abreviation for the god Jupiter is significant.

There was a thread on it.

Oh and by the way Hime, welcome...
To thread drift. It's part of what makes us the cellar.

Howdy Hime, nice to meet cha'!

Speaking of roman numerals, why was VI afraid of VII?



Because VII VIII IX.

*tears* I slay myself...

:ggw:

Me a spellin Nazi !!??!!
Dude what has youz been smokeing ??? :joint: :fumette:

Oh and welcome Hime .

Welcome Hime

Now there's something you don't see every day. A new cellar member welcoming another new cellar member with their first post.

Welcome indeed, Weird Harold. Good to have you on board.
