I'm new here.

Hello, I'm Dan. I'm new here. Many of you know Caroline (Soccersprout91), i'm the person who introduced her to fruvous.

hey dan. what's up? I know soon, you'll agree with me about....the thing we talked about.
by the way, here i'm not soccersprout91....even though i am pretty much everywhere else. im just caroline....or today, snowday&birthday!!!!

You're not? did u make a new name just for today?

yes dan, i did. i don't change it often. some people do though. but you can still kinda tell its them if you know them well enough. sometimes they are very similar anyhow.

Well i'm keeping mine like this cause NOBODY knows me��. A REAL friend would introduce me! God! Some people can be so stubborn sometimes!�� By the way, do people use the smileys here or am i just stupid for being the only one who does?

Hey Dan,

Not so many folks use��'s� around here, though the bare bones :) kind are in frequent use - especially when comments might be taken the wrong way.�

Not that that *ever* happens.� Here, or anywhere else on the net, for that matter.

;-}

Hey since when can one use graphical smilies here, and how are you doing that? Not that I want to, I find them kind of deeply disturbing here, but still, I had no idea that functionality existed.

If you put the cursor over the person's name there username, which doesn't change appears on the bottom of the browser. If you ever see "drwhofru" you know that's me.

Oh, you're drwhofru?� I thought that was Gordondon...

It's part of the WYSIWYG feature. It doesn't load at work for me, but it does at home, so I suspect it has to do with browser settings.

he *is* gordondon. :)

huh... go figure. :-)

son of ethelred

The unready.

Damn Gordon, you ARE old as dirt!

Gordon INVENTED dirt.

oh and I thought the arrogant worms invented dirt!

That kind of thinking is why my lawyers are after them.

I thought it was that you invented dirt, and then many moons later, they became the first other people to discover your invention?

welcome Dan! Ooh..a monkey! I think that you fit in well here.

You know, I'm really offended now.

that...HORRIBLE...MONKEY! -invader zim.

but... but... haven't we always wanted a monkeeeey?

Meep! I didn't mean to offend. Monkeys are a good thing in my book! In fact, there's a traveling Curious Murray floating around somewhere in this world.

(speaking of which, anyone know where he is at the moment?).

well, I wish I was a monkey...

You are a monkey!

*sigh* I miss heckling at DVN.

me, too.

I heckle Storm's sister.

*runs off after some squirrels*

Excuse me, I never heckled, I stalked.

I miss bribing Bernie to call on me during Request-o-Rama.

It worked, too.

How much did it cost?

i miss playing on bernie's combined catholic and irish guilt to get him to call on me.

and i miss bernie's catholic guilt coming out in nagging me about getting married. :)

A list of wacky Spanish phrases.

Aren't you lucky, I still have the .txt file on my hard drive.

The List With Which I Bribed Bernie

Puedo comer vidrio, no me hace da�o.
(I can eat glass, it does not hurt me)

Libros y futbol son muy calvo con paraguas azul lucha libre
(Books and soccer are very bald with blue wrestling umbrellas)

Tu hacer pasar el caballo!
(You have to vacuum the horse!)

Ma�ana, nosotros visitar los platos
(Tommorow, we visit the plates)

La langosta es traviesa
(The lobster is wicked)

El oso esta en fuego
(The bear is on fire)



Bernie was easily bribed. Very easily. My new favourite Spanish phrases are "yo bebo pintura" (I drink paint) and "cuando corto el cesped los gnomos incindieron mis pantalones cortos" (when I cut the lawn, the gnomes set my shorts on fire).

you're like the nicola tesla of dirt

wow, that didn't take long, I had to wait weeks before I was insulted for the first time

I am currently (pun intended) reading an article about Tesla in Scientific American.

why are you offended?
