Well, I waited too long to do individual replies, so I'll just say thank you all very much for an extremely warm welcome. ALthough I will point out, Whitman, that "Attack of the Eye Creatures" was so ineptly made that, in addition to the occasional accidental shot of tennis-shoe-wearing monsters, the end credits listed the title as "Attack of the the Eye Creatures", and it was recorded in MST3K lore with the double "the" forever after. Again, thanks, all! I'd better get busy and start posting somewhere else besides the thread I started, I reckon!

Away from computer for almost a full four days (only enough time to pop in and advise CapK that politicians don't have culture and let AnnaS know that I was not insulting her car). Hinch, since you're already up to 5 posts, I can see you've started well. Keep it up! Shame, stales, shame! You should know it's actually Derryn Hinch, and ... that's life!

Sounds like it may be the same genre - ie comedic sci-fi (with an accent like Dunc large's). stales Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Newbie post! #63180 04/02/02 03:36 PM Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 3,439 New England, USA W wow Carpal Tunnel wow Carpal Tunnel W Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 3,439 New England, USA Hello Hinch and a most warm welcome to you. Good to have another member of the Air Force Family around. Gee, I leave the computer for a day or two and miss all the fun! You may be interested to know that AWADers who can get to Michigan in June are having a real live get together ... search Wordapalooza and Wordapalooza II for details. Would be nice to have a real Newbie there amongst us! Meanwhile, enjoy the craziness! Aloha!

Still lurking. It occurred to me, after I joined, that it ain't real easy to jump into, or start, a thread. For instance, one can't just post an entry like this: "So! Catenary! Some word, huh?" That's called, in the newsgroup world, a "Me Too" post. So I wait, in my lazy way, for an opportunity to get into the fray. Still having fun here, tho.

Catenary! Some word, huh I dunno, Hinch. It's at least as good as some of my posts. But perhaps you were aiming for a higher standard????

Nope, sparteye! Just trying to live up to my iffy standards. Plus, as a newby, I'm trying to start off on the right foot. Gimme time...once I shed the "stranger" tag, I'll post lots of really inane and boring stuff. Just you wait!
