I'm Shorty, one of the Assistant Community Editors around these parts and one of my jobs is to welcome newbies to the site and make them feel welcome . Feel free to look around and visit my homepage at http://www.h2g2.com/u91398 which has lots of useful links on it to help you find your way around. Also if you have any questions I'll do my best to answer it, and if I can't one of the other ACE's will. Oh, and you may need a towel and one of these ,

Hey there,
I happen to be a bit of a Dr. Who fan myself. Unfortunately, whenever I mention this little bit of trivia about myself I'm usually greeted with blank stares or incredulous looks. Still, it is a little guilty pleasure of mine.
Anywhoo, thank you for the kind welcome. I've been wondering what kind of people are still fans of the HHGTTG, even after all these years. I read the books while still in high school and have yet to find anything that matches the joy I found when reading them. (I still giggle when I remember how much time I spent memorizing the wonderful poetry.) Still, life goes on, things come and go, and other useless platitudes.

Thank you for the loan of a towel.
Its nice to find someone who will take a girl by the hand and offer their assistance. I haven't any pertinent questions right now but I would like to say how pleased I am to find some place where deranged individuals like myself can discuss their weird obsessions without too much scorn and derision. I look foward to learning the meaning of liff and such from all of the enlightened individuals that are so blessed to be able to write for this esteemed depostitory of wisdom.

Thanx again,
JB

Thank you friend,

I have always relied on the kindness of strangers. Of course, there aren't many who are stranger than I. Still, it is good to be welcomed with open arms by a group that have no other motives than to be friendly.

Grins all around,
JB

Who says we don't have any other motive?

Well, it couldn't be monetary 'cause I don't have any. It might be sex, but I don't get a whole lot of that either. What else could it be . . . ?

My motive is to use you to take over the world...damn! *don't tell her that! Fool!* I mean, yes, my motive is just to be friendly.

OK i will wecome you with 1 open arm*i see you have made friends on your first day thats a good sign and me and possum talk a lot on here.
*the over one is broke long story that i have told once somewere on here.

depostitory of wisdom you are new here we can tell

Just trying to butter you folks up. I figure, the more asses I kick, er . . . KISS, yeah thats it KISS, the more friends I make and the less likely I will become the fodder for the great war machine that will eventually take over the earth.

Gee, I like friendly people.
*World domination? . . . that can't be good*

Depends on if you are the dominators or dominatees.

p.s if you read my homepage you will find somewere a A to Z of sci-fi,a sci-fi quiz(sorry if its a little hard the next one should be easyer it would have been up now but for the arm),and an interview with paul darrow(avon in blake's 7)

It's not so much World Domination as just taking over. I don't want to dominate things - where's the fun in that?

I like friendly people too. Friendly people are good. People who are too friendly aren't good. They're bad.

What if you are a dominatrix?

I know what you mean, if they are too friendly it just gets downright creepy.

Funny books you could try terry pratchett's discworld books there very funny and you would get to know were a few names on here come from*.
*greebo/granny weathwax to name but two

Like sales assistants, for example. There's nothing worse than a pesky, creepy sales assistant, especially in clothes shops. I don't know about you, but I like to actually decide for myself which clothes I'm going to buy when I'm going to be spending the small fortune that clothes cost nowadays.

Actually, though, on second thoughts, there are worse things than pesky sales assistants. That was a flippant remark. I should think that falling of a cliff is worse. Or having gangrene. Or skydiving only to find out halfway down that there's no ripcord. For example.
