New People

“Just out of curiousity.. who's NEW around here.. I think we need a round of introductions..

(Yes, you LURKERS also.)”

“If you are new, you are required to add "girl" to your TT name.”

“I think I might be.”

“Bunyipgirl?”

“Sorry no. Mrs Bunyip wouldn't approve.”

“Bunyiplass? Bunyipsheila!!”

“how do you define new ? For example I remember Bunyip from some other forums over the last few years.”

“Not me Mate, I've only been doing this for about 3 or 4 months.”

“I wouldn't call him new because he's posted a bunch and also has his photo up. I'd define new as someone who hasn't posted at least 25 times and gotten recognition from at least five regulars. Having the photo up is a big step toward regularhood.”

“Hey I'm regular, the bran works after all.”

“No newbies are biting on this thread, so far. They know how to avoid abuse, but then they miss out on the fun.”

“Let's see,,25 posts and recognized by 5 "regulars". Yep, I think I am in. Do I get extra points for taking jabs at Spock?”

“Lots of extra points, Chili. LOL”

“hehe.. spock is such an easy target lately.

but back to why I created this thread..”

“Bunyip - sorry about that - all you Bunyip's sound alike sound its hard for me to tell y'all apart - also prunes have more flavour than bran and work just as well (grin)”

“Maybe you guys don't drink coffee. That works fine for me. Only needed prunes when I was 9 months pregnant.”

“true enough LyndyS - I stopped my caffiene habit when I started hiking - too much weight for limited value”

“Hello, my name is Nigal. Long time listener, first time caller.”

“LIMITED VALUE! I've got a medic alert bracelet that says "Give me a caffeine IV or you'll lose me". I'd be lost without my chocolate covered espresso beans in my gorp.

My name is Steiny and I'm an addict.”

“i am. call me militiagirl”

“Trolls don't count”

“Darn,.. and here I thought I was new here too! I don`t have near the time in some do, I liked the idea of being new!

Do I have to face the facts as I`ve been told? Drat it all, now I feel so old!LOL”

“You're regular BF.”

“I'm a newbie....don't think I'm up to 25 posts yet, but I think there are at least 5 TT'ers who know me.”

“Now I don`t feel special at all, well,.. not like I did when they told me they were putting me in special-ed!LOL”

“Since the lobotomy, I can't remember if I've been here before or not.

I'm new to myself.”

“I'm way past 25 posts.

And what constitutes recognition?”

“Don't know if I've got the requisite 25 posts or not but I did get arclite fired up on the colege football thread. I have been on two TT hikes. Although, I didn't have a screen name then. So hello, I'm Max (a.k.a. tarabull's beau).”

“Hey everybody, Fritz posted a message!! How's that Fritz?”

“Was it something I did, was it something I said
you know they kicked my butt out of special-ed
oh, they found out I couldn`t spell, or read
but, that class was for kids with a special need
all the questions they went over out loud, when asked I could pass
I didn`t feel special in there, they kicked me out of that class
I couldn`t stay there, I had to go back
just one of many that fell through the crack”

“Chili! Haven't I seen you on here before? Yes, I'm sure I, um...recognize you.”

“Fritz and chili, you guys are too funny! LOL!”

“I think I'm new, I've only been here for a year and then some”

“Yup, tee, your prety knew.”

“i'm nude, here!”

“Whoa, thank you for sharing!”

“oooh! "NEW"!


sorry!”

“Fritz isnt new he speaks swahilli. Newgirl is definatly not new. I dont think Im new. I will have a year in march I think.”

“Easy mistake, rad. Just last week, I told my wife work was a lot better since I got a nude boss... Took three days before the swelling went down, and then I was able to figure out what had happened...”

“Hey, AG! Jambo sana!”

“Just out of curiosity Fritz, How do you know swahilli?”

“Sifahamu Kiswahili.”

“That did not answer my question Fritz!”

“Ahhh - to be new again...
"Gather your rosebuds while you may"”

“i'm nowhere, where are you? are you nowhere too?”

“I'm not new anymore. I met TTers this past weekend.”

“I am Masai.

Surprised my name didn't give it away.

Is that better, AG?

;-)”

“I'm past 25 posts but what constitutes "recognition"?”

“I'm kinda new!!”

“I'm new since last summer. I haven't met any TT'er except newgirl (but no one believes me). But, if she's new does that mean we cancel each other out? Or, are we New squared?”
