Hi,

Visiting for the first time. Absolutely great looking board.

Some of us are sick enough to be here everyday. Don't be a stranger.

WHO ARE YOU?

Posted by Saiyanman Benjita (Member # 122) on :

Ya, Kosh is right. Welcome to the wonderful world of Weird. Enjoy yourself.

Nurse: Can I help you?
Stan: We're here to commit our friend, Kyle.
Nurse: Reason?
Kyle: I'm a clinically depressed fecalpheliac on Prozac.
Nurse: JACKET!!

Hello,

Who Am I - here goes.

Thanks for the welcome, how very gracious. I also have a board, but you specialize in what you play. We play anything at GND - mostly adventure games and even DOS games (still have IncaI and II in my library). We do have a few NUTS who like sci-fi games, and if they require assistance, will post your URL.

The design of this board is impressive - really a great job and I know the effort it takes. Congratulations Webmaster.

Renande

At my board (no tehees) I am known as Goosie or Mother Goose

PS have a secret, but must wander around the Star Trek forum before I tell. LOL

Hope I am not out of line. And by the way tend to agree about free email addresses, like to know who my members are, it takes courage to prohibit them. I bow to your wisdom.

Kosh

You are funny! Who are you? If you like that pic, you are Nutty, but would you believe it is an improvement on me?

Thanks Renande

Yes, CC may succumb to a superiority complex... What's that you say? Oh yes, "may succumb"... wrong verbial structure.

It's a technical pirate term.

Oh. I always took that as a general "Arrrghh" but I guess it is all a matter of interpretation.

Narr sure doesn't sound technical to me!

Pirate slang: "Narr", meaning something not distant.

Ahh, okay:

Posted by RW (Member # 27) on :

How can you like someone who shouts such abuse at you all?

Good point about nuclear weapons though:

I wonder how many of them are still pointed at us from Russia or the Ukraine, because nobody bothered to change it? And are they safe? I don't feel comfortable really, one bomb is enough to wipe our country off the map, you see.. :]

Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :

Actually, that would probably depend on the placement and the megatonnage, but I doubt a single warhead would do it. Now, one missile, carrying several warheads... MIRV, I think, holds 12...

Folks (Aliens?)

I have wandered around your forums, what minds you have! Don't understand half your lingo. This is a beautiful site, not only in its presentation, but in the members contributions. I wish you luck, but am out witted. You are too far ahead of me!

Keep up the great work, and I will check in - if only to be reminded of limitations.

Thank you all for your welcome. You have been most gracious, but I am out of my league.

Renande

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

Oh, just because we talk in mumbo-jumbo doesn't mean you're out of your league. You're very welcome here.

*something clicks* Hey, you must speak French?

Posted by Renande on :

Came back to edit my message, and there is a response. I am quite taken by your speed. It is Mumbo Jumbo to me, but you are so literate with it .......hmmmmm where is my head, Captain Kirk is my first cousin by marriage (no kidding).

Oui, je parle le francais, tres bien. How do you know that? this is what I mean about this board, you are all so quick and clever.

I do not know how to add accents, so try and figure it out.

Ma langue origianle francais, mais aujourdi je suis plus a l'ese avec anglais.

Again, I thank you for your hospilaty. Certainly anyone one on GND playing space game who requires help we cannot supply will be referred to this site.

Your kindness will be remembered.

As ever, Renande.

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

Hehe. Well, I was in here the same time as you, I suppose.

And you're Renarde... and since the picture you posted was a duck... I believe... I sort of assumed you spoke French.

Ooh, look! Now we're talking mumbo-jumb to everyone else.

Whoa and Behold"

I keep trying to say you are too smart for me, and I don't finish you are back on.My name is Renande no second r in there.

Thought that was a gif of goose, and not a duck. Oh will I ever learn.? I am known as Goosie, or Mother Goose on my site,

We are serious gamers, but not all in the space genre you play. However, will send space players to your site.

Again I thank you for your grace, but now must visit my site, have been here long time. Great board, kind members. I will be back, if only to visit.

Again I thank you,

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

*LOL* I misread your name!

And by doing that I got a right assumption that you spoke French... oh, boy.

Sorry about that, Renande.

*checks back on previous page* And, it is indeed a goose. Silly me.

My silly.

Do check back often.

Oh, and there I was thinking Elim can tell Renande's speaking French from her French-ish grammar.

Posted by Renande on :

Pray tell, what is French-ish grammar? I am so become so "anglo" French is almost distant to me. However, would appreciate any correction to my "style". Not being sarcastic, really mean that.

Thanks, Renande

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

Well, it's when you refuse to put a preposition at the end of a sentence (which is still "wrong" in English, but more tolerated), etc., I believe...

And I noticed absolutrely nothing wrong with your "style."

Posted by Jay the Obscure (Member # 19) on :

I always thought "French-ish" was how John Cleese talked in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Something like: "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs! Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person! I blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur King," you and all your silly English K-nig-hts."

Or: "I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough water! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"

Oh what a relief thought my spelling was amiss A preposition at end of sentence - I would never do that. LOL

Posted by Jubilee (Member # 99) on :

Renande, there is someone else on the site who's original language is French ... Raven Rosset. You should look him up, I know he misses having chats in his language.

And don't think we're too smart for you. We just know how to ACT smart. *grin*

Arrr..

Julia tells me that if I let somebody else walk my plank, I'll be keelhauled, strung from the fo'c'sle, and given a one-way trip to Davy Jones' locker. And I HATE the Monkees!

Arr! Tis' the life of a pirate o' the Nineties! And nay a gold doubloon nor Spanish galleon to be had... and I gave up grog and ale...
