Letter of Introduction from Epicurus8a

[northcat_8]

I don't know if Epicurus8a is going to fit in here Cap...he seems awfully hard headed to me.

[zzyzzx]

Be careful around Yoda, you never know gayness might be contagous :P :P

[yoda313]

Hello,

Stop QUOTING that!

Kevin

[Capmaster]

I don't know if Epicurus8a is going to fit in here Cap...he seems awfully hard headed to me.

You're right ...it might just be a bust

[VCDHunter]

in your avatar pic, you look stoned.

<insert drum roll here>

< click the pic >

I didn't notice. I did notice that he had well-chiseled features



But in all fairness to him, we shouldn't take him for granite

I thought he looked stoned

[northcat_8]

His momma says he's just a chip off the ol' block...

[Capmaster]

I heard he's really into rock

[northcat_8]

Hey now be nice...he's a pillar of his community.

[Capmaster]

He used to be wanted by the police for an old crime, but his arrest was foiled by the statues of limitations

[northcat_8]

I heard the crime was just a Geology experiment gone wrong.

[Capmaster]

Yes. They had to lock him up in a nuthouse. Now all he does all day is play with his marbles

[bazooka]

Now all he does all day is play with his marbles

Suddenly I am reminded of Major League 2.

[northcat_8]

Yes. They had to lock him up in a nuthouse. Now all he does all day is play with his marbles

Yea, but who's he going to play with once Marbles gets out?

[Tommyknocker]

I just returned from work, and am surprized to see the number of responses I've received. It's just as I suspected, you're all crazy. And I love it!

My work hours are quite varried, so you might find me at just about anytime of the night or day. It just depends upon my shift OR which "wacko of the week" is getting his fifteen minutes of fame. Today it was storms and power outages in the state. Damn Newsies always act like they've never seen rain before.

Later Ladies & gents.

"So what's up, Cap?" North Cat asked.

"Nothin' much. Just a newbie over there. 'Epicurus8a'"

"Can you say, 'Fresh Meat'?"

"Fresh meat." Capmaster giggled a reply. "Hey, excuse me!", he yelled at Epicurus8a. "You're new here. right?"

"Un-huh. I'm Epicurus8a."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Cap, and welcome to the Forum."

"Thanks. Say, who is that pretty lady over there?" He asked, pointing at
Shadowmistress.

"Oh, that's Shadowmistress. Really nice lady, but she's Canadian, if you know what I mean."

"No, what do you mean?"

"Well they have this pretty cool custom over there. If you walk up to her
and shake her hand, no big deal. But if you walk up to her and kiss her on the cheek without warning, she'll know you're acquainted with that tradition, and kiss you on the cheek as well."

"Really?? Excuse me." He said, and ran over towards Shadowmistress, who saw him coming, and flashed a polite smile. He reached and kissed her right on the left cheek. The smile instantly vanished, and her face turned red with anger. "You little creep!" She screamed, planted her right foot, and caught him flush on the jaw with a right cross. He left his feet, flew across the room, and landed in a pile of blank DVDs, unconscious.

"Man! The Women's Equality gonna get one us poor guys killed one day." North Cat said, walking away.

"Tell me about it. At least we know SM likes to lead with her right." He laughed, walking the other way.
*************
Again, welcome to the Forum, Epicurus8a!

In case you were wondering, my avatar is of a cat drinking a beer:



Not my cat, but I do have one that looks exactly like it.

[stiltman]

but yours is white and brown and 20lbs over wieght

[Epicurus8a]

Boy am I glad I checked in before leaving for work again. You guys really are nuts.

Hard headed? Well I must admit my wife would agree - but she's a Klingon, and they don't get much more hard headed than that!

Regarding the comment about being "stoned," I'll take the 5th on that... (At least in open forum.) Jim, adding the drum roll made the joke perfect! I, for one, want to thank you for the hard work you did in creating those guides. Unless they also call you "The Flash," I know they took hours & hours to create. There should really be a seperate page dedicated to your guides.

later...

There is ...

http://members.dodo.net.au/~jimmalenko
OR https://www.videohelp.com/guides.php?tools=&madeby=Jimmalenko&formatconversionselect=&h...or+List+Guides

... and I really can't take all the credit for all of the guides with my name on them. Quite a few have originated from other guides, but I've just partially or fully rewritten them to "NOOB them up" so to speak. Either that or I've ripped off the pictures out of someone else's guide. That said, A few of them are my original works

[Calypso]

Hi Grimey

Yep - new here. Not too sure of all the ins and outs yet,but i'll get the hang of it.

[Gorganzola]

I've been wanting to check in every once in a while like Epicurus8a but I'm just plain scared of you guys. Kinda like jumping into the Coliseum naked and yelling "here kitty kitty kitty!"

You'll fit in... Welcome!

Oh come now. We can't be that intimidating. Come on in the water's fine. (Psst, hey Cap, get the cattle prod, the Gorganzola Party's about to start)

[Capmaster]

Tommyknocker exaggerates. We don't use the cattle prod on OT noobs. That comes after 3 weeks

We're OK. We talk straight, speak our minds, and we're more like a club or a gathering of buds down at the corner bar. We expect the same, but be prepared for straight answers here. Say something that offends and someone will tell you right away.

I think that's a good thing, and part of the reason why the OT forum has the fewest formal warmings (yellow cards) of any of the more active discussion areas. We watch our own house for the most part

So ...that said, welcome aboard. I'm Capmaster, the Off Topic Post Whore President. Tommyknocker is the OT scribe and clean-up guy. The rest you'll get to know soon enough

[Gorganzola]

Thanks, Cap. Now I feel like I hijacked Epicurus8a 's thread.

Oops! I meant ,
