I'd like to start a thread where the our new members can get to know us a bit more... Please post where you're from and any quirk/habit that it would be good to know about while perusing the forums.

I'll start.
I'm from Buffalo NY and a big Bills fan. I'm an all-around nice guy, so if anyone else can find a quirk about me, I'd like to know.

Next?

I'm a 20 years old guy from Quebec (way up there in Canada, you know, that place north of the USA?).

I'm obssesed by Treknology. I'm really fed up by the lack of "canon" these days in Star Trek (read: my worst ennemy is Brannon Braga). And God really is dead (to me, that is).

The Defiant IS 120 meters long. Unlike The Shadow, I'll actually listen if you say otherwise instead of giving you a gruesome and painfull death :P

[Narrator's voice:]
"And here we find the natural habitat of that rare, reclusive creature Goffis Laboris, commonly known as the Goffy. Note the huge mound of paper used in the construction of his burrow. Naturalists disagree whether this mound's purpose is to provide shelter, camouflage, or provide a secure resting place. Unfortunately, we are unable to show any photos of the Goffy, as he has not emerged during the entire time we were filming. We are, however, certain he exists, as the mound shifted several times during filming, and the camera crew clearly heard the characteristic sounds of muffled cursing on several occasions."

And to join in the ego-massaging...

My name is Liam. In the absence of Lee, it is my job to disagree with everyone and try to hurt as many feelings as possible.

I do not think that I am a Trill/Klingon/Borg/flying penguin.

I am not in Starfleet. Cause it doesn't exist.

Brannon Braga and Rick Berman are not going to write themselves out of a job to recharge some non existent creative batteries.

I live in Walthamstow. On 6 Wolsey Avenue. That's in London. I don't care if you send me anything.

Swearing loudly and frequently gets you respect.

The millennium started on the 1st January 2000. Anyone who wants to tell me why I'm wrong, write it down and mail it to me. I need some new toilet paper.

Fuck.

A country who thinks that drinking more than once a week is a sign of having repressed difficulties, and yet still tries to sue cigarette companies for selling them cigarrettes and making them ill, is fucked up.

I like pie.

Rodimus Prime was far better in the comics than the cartoon.

Our idea of violence is for two blokes to have a punch-up, then laugh and have a beer. The idea of violence in the US is for two guys to shoot each other. And anyone else in the area.

Canadians speak really well. Aboot as good as we do.

Evolution exists. Deal with it.

I have got a gigantic arse.

Squirtle is the best Pokemon by far. Bulby and Jiggleypuff run a close joint second.

Being able to drink 8 pints in 2 hours is very impressive. Especially if you can still stand after.

Periods.

Everyone is free to talk about my arse now.

Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on :
 
Bono's name is short from Bono Vox, which I heard may by latin for "good voice" or something.

Edge's name comes from the angleness of his head around the chin. Besides, it might also deal with his guitar playing. No other player has been able to duplicate his sound, though I think one of the guitarists from Collective Soul came close. Ross Childress perhaps? And they're U2 fans as well.

And I'm on Wire...the largest U2 internet mailing list...4000+ "Wirelings", though I don't contribute as much as I should. I'm a lurker.

We dislike the Spice Girls, because we have good taste in music. SG music is aimed at kids.

The Monkeys were controlled by the people the assimbled the band, for the TV show. They didn't play or write, but they could both play and write, at least Nesmith could write. Bryce and Heart worte a good bit of their music, but were under orders not to take a stand on anything, or offend anyone. "Last Train to Clarksville" was a war protest song, about a guy going into the army, wanting to see his girl one more time, but the song never mentioned the war.

If Sol's thinking of the song that I'm thinking off, then it's a favourite in clubs over here.

Although at the moment I can't remember what it's called or how it goes.

And you can't simply slag off the Spice Girls because they are a copy of something else. Or for the fact that they don't play or write. That would mean that any song writen and played by someone is automatically good.

Besides, Spice up your Life is a great song to jump up and down to with your mates.

I'm the Board's token Irish character, who will probably end up dead by the middle of the season.

I used to post way more often than I do now -- probably something to do with the 24hour exhaustion that seems to follow me around daily on thirty-seven squirrels legs.

I am currently in the process of making "The Bends" sound kick-ass when coming out of a piano - Just and The Bends are proving a challenge, which I am rising to like a man posessed.

My Charmander would have had a warehouse full o' whupass if only Pokemon had more than 1 save slot (*&^%�"@@::@!)
*profane language*

I'm the only one here who can speak Irish.
I make it in for my 9 o'clock with about four hours sleep. And supervise 1st year labs.

I try to be nice. I am eminently sarcastic.

I wish this keyboard was newer.
Nice dream.

Of course, if it had more than one saved game slot, then everyone would cheat far more than they do now. Besides, Squirtle would flatten Charmander against the tarmac anyway. (My rating system gos on voices. Which means that Psyduck is ahead by a large margin).

And I applaud your ability to speak Irish. Now demonstrate a practical use for it. Outside of Ireland. Or an Irish pub.

Never went up against anything higher than Level 20, and that was after a good few hours continuous play.

And people here wonder why the arse is falling out of the Irish language. It's compulsory in schools until you leave, except for those born outside the country. Yet I smell a Problem: the language has no use even in most parts of the country that are still supposed to speak it a lot (the Gaeltacht areas).

Baloo and Gravie are of Irish descent - I know this because their surname (Dunehew) is yet another fecked-up variant of my name (Donohue), which in turn is a rape of the Kerry original (O'Donoghue).

I just put it in Liam (IRISH NAME!) to highlight how unique I am. And if no-one gives a toss, neither will. That's how democracy works.

On the twist last night. 4 lectures. Three-hour Assembly language lab.
Brain hurts.

Gaseous Anomaly: Thanx! I knew that Dunehew was a "mutation" of Donohue, but did not know that it was, in turn derived from an even more archaic form.

There's a lot of Donohues here in America, and I suspect that one branch or other changed the spelling to distance themselves from "those TRAITORS" during the Civil war. I'm not positive which side the Dunehews wanted to distance themselves from, but my Great Grandfather fought for the Indiana Volunteers, so I suppose he sided with the Union. Oddly, of my three other (southern) GGFs, only one fought for the south.

Name-changing to distance yourself from the Blues or Greys? I didn't know that.

It might explain how there are so many variants of Irish names in Mericay
---> O'Mahony (OH-Mah-in-ee) vs. Mahony (Ma-HONE-ee)
---> Donohue (DUN-oh-who) vs. Dunehew (DUN-eh-hew)(I imagine) vs. Donohoe vs. MacDonncha(mine in Gaelic) vs. Donoghue vs. O'{nearly all of the above) vs. Donju(a little known Mexican variant, & Mexico's last Spanish ruler's last name).

My own name got the way it is today because, well, even my Auld Lad doesn't know that one, but there aren't many of us - the only other Donohue's we personally know are our cousins.
Surely a good sign.

See if you can find out where your G-G-F was from.
Sorry, but what were the years of yer Civil War? Post-1840's and pre-1870's, by any chance?

I work with an O'Donoghue. She's one of our secretaries. Very proud Irish, despite living in Manchester for a very long time.

Well, given a choice of being proud to be Irish, or proud to be a Manc, I'd say...

Actually, it's pretty much a choice between slag and sludge innit?

*Ack new password!*

Actually, I did get to Charmeleon level, but like a real trainer in real life, I was also devoting a lot of my time to my other five boys, includibg Weils, my Rattata.

Well, Liam, there's always Scotland for us to look down on *rouses rabble*
