Greetings!

[Destidude]

Greetings online free-thinking people. My first post here is designed to procure warm welcomes from fellow strangers. I fully expect to experience a brief sense-of-community rush that will motivate me to engage in future discussions on the board.

On many a weekday afternoon, I've lacked the satisfaction of multi-way conversations that have absolutely nothing to do with work, credit card offerings or air duct cleaning. Here we get that with the benefit of being able to edit out dumb comments before anyone reads them.

My interest in reading and posting will eventually taper off and, sadly, so will my presense here. All good things come to an end and, when this one does, you'll just have to deal with it. Part of me wants to edit out the preceding ludicrous sentence but the part that's about to press submit says 'fuck it, you're all strangers anyway!'.

You have arrived and someday you will be gone, but the horde is forever. Here are your lucky smilies for the day.



Use them well and something positive will happen to you tomorrow.

[Vivisectus]

Auspicious! You got a fonzy in your lucky smilies!

Welcome!

[livius drusus]

Watch you turn into a lifer, your cheerful prognostication the jinx that locks you into an eternity spent with we few, we gassy few, we band of buttholes.

[Leesifer]

Still here?

[Destidude]

BrotherMan, would you consider members of this site the horde? Not sure what the deal is with the lucky smiles - are these randomly chosen?

Vivisectus, am I special for getting a fonzy?

Livius drusus, at first I read 'procrastination' and was confused since that's usually the first step in my departure. Honestly, right now the thought of being stuck with a gassy bunch of buttholes doesn't bother me at all so long as the internet can't propagate odors.

Leesifer, yup, still basking in the glory of being the new.

[BrotherMan]

Only a select few of our members have been honored by being admitted into the horde. If you are good, funny or lucky you too may be forever immortalized in our ever expanding effort to rule the world with tiny animated gifs.

[Destidude]

I do like the idea of joining the horde and ruling the world. Any proposals explaining how this could work via tiny animated gifs?

[livius drusus]

When you click on the chicken in quick reply or on the More link in the full new reply editor, a search box will pop up. If you click the dropdown next to "Search type" you'll see "10 random smilies" is an option. That's what Brotherman did. Since we have almost 4500 smilies, to get any given one on a random search is notable, especially when it's The Fonz.

Here's my signifier:

As for liv:

[livius drusus]

[Qingdai]

OK Ok! You have smilies as numerous as your posts.


Oh and Hi new person.

[Destidude]

Thanks for the info, livius

[Destidude]

Hi Qingdai

[Crumb]

Welcome to the , Destidude!

[Destidude]

Thanks for the welcome, Crumb.

[ceptimus]

Welcome aboard!

non-randomly chosen!

[Gonzo]

Welcome, Double D.

[ceptimus]

[Destidude]

Hey ceptimus! Thanks for the welcome and well-chosen graphic. No idea what a treble-d is though...

Gonzo, pleased to meet you!

[ceptimus]

Gonzo called you Double-D, and I was just pointing out that there are actually three Ds in your username. So, if it were allowed, it would be a good word in Scrabble for using up Ds if you had too many of them.

Oh, I see, you meant "triple". Were destidude a real word, I don't think it would be possible to use 3 ds to make or combine to form the word in one turn of Scabble, would it?

Every time I see this thread this song plays in me head
