GREETINGS, GRACIOUS HOSTS

I belong to a small tribe of nomads. We are traveling through the wasteland that is the internet. We cannot stay in one place for too long or own a forum of our own because we bear an ancient dinosaur curse. A swarm of Pterodactyls follows us, and we must move from forum to forum to escape their wretched wrath. We will try not to endanger you with our presence, but please permit us to camp on your forum and rest.

If our presence is not wanted, we will take our leave before the pterodactyls draw any closer. But we have good articles and essays and other content to trade and good lulz to share! May we come in and party with ye?

Fresh Heir

My first reaction would be point out you’re already here with a small side serving of Welcome Aboard....but the intensity of your prose and the ritual nature of the invitation make me wonder if you’re not some sort of data egregore....either way, should be most entertaining. Consider yourself formally invited in, please bring some coffee if you have any handy.

Hello there, gentlepeople! We come in peace. We hope to be able to stay for some time, if we are far enough ahead of those wretched pterodactyls.

Fucking pterodactyls. Even in my sleep I hear their wretched BIKAAWs.

Come in, come in! Our hosts are kind enough to let us stay here as we try to evade the pterosaurs. Have a poke about, get a feel for the place. I recognize a lot of memes, which gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Say thirtyseven,

I see a lot of articles posted around here. In our travels around the internet, we’ve acquired quite a treasure trove of posts, essays, articles, ideas, pdfs, et cetera. Would you like for us share? And is General Discussion the proper subforum for that?

Hi Hi! Sorry for being a bit tardy, had a nasty run in with a bit of quicksand on the way here. All’s well though.

Adam was but human--this explains it all. He did not want the apple for the apple’s sake, he wanted it only because it was forbidden. The mistake was in not forbidding the serpent; then he would have eaten the serpent.

Doing everything exactly opposite from “The Mainstream” is the same thing as doing everything exactly like “The Mainstream.” You’re still using What Everyone Else is Doing as your primary point of reference

Feel free to exercise discretion and creativity when you’re posting, appending or commentating.  If you folks know the IP addresses of any of these dinosaur hunter-killer flying machines, I can have them blocked for your safety and sanity.

Ah, home! How I miss it! The gardens were so lovely in Spring… before the pterodactyls came. :(
