I'm new here...

Just thought I'd drop a note and say, "Hi."

So...Hi!

I've been a member of a few other groups throughout Library Thing, but decided to broaden my horizons. Off to poke around the threads...

welcome. I am sort of new too. I had an account a few years ago and I forgot my password so I made a new one a few hours ago.

Welcome to the Hogwarts Express! Be sure to check out our interesting threads linked on our homepage, such as the information thread, book discussion thread, and birthday list. You'll find some games going on as well as threads such as a 'What are you reading in June?' thread. Feel free to jump in anywhere.

welcome! Welcome!

WELCOME!

Thanks for the 'hellos.' Quite kind of you all.

HI! welcome to the group!

Hello! Welcome to the Hogwarts Express!!

Welcome, new members!

Bienvenidos! Welcome!

foggi, pollysmith, kerian. I am the same person as shanfan. please re add me, if you remember me that is

I remember you shanfan

#11 -- Welcome back! Of course we remember you! :-)

hello. I thought I'd add in a hello, just squeizze in one more.
I can't spell squeeze,
Jesus It's just one of them dead end words where you have to go and find your dictionary to know how to spell it.
do you reckon that's how shakespeare got started? he couldn't find his dictionary? I know robbie coltraine invented the dictonary in 'blackadder'...

Welcome Godlike, your randomness will fit in well here. :o)

Hi Shan! *waves*

And welcome also to rtkaelin. It's good to see some new people posting!

I did spell squeeze right that time didn't I? Jesus I'm so goofy It's unbearable, I need bashing with that dictionary, if not anything else.

I could talk to myself all day let alone a net load of people. Who are you people out there? whast your stories? Americans? cos I love you americans especially elvis, marlon brando, river phoenix and james dean.

Squeeze is correct! Does your computer highlight mistakes? If so, you can right-click on the word and it should give you suggested spellings that will make it easier to find the right word. But we're pretty laid back about spelling here. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time. I happen to be homonym impaired. If I'm tired, I will always pick the word that sounds the same but is spelled differently and means something else. ;o)

#17: There's a link on the group home page to a handy getting to know you thread. If you read through that you may very well find out more than you ever wanted to know!

And welcome to all the newbs! (With a Welcome Back for Shan!)

#11 yootah/shanfan:
Of course I remember you! I hope you've been well. :)

#14 Godlike:
Welcome to the group!

yeah hello what a group
bunch of crazies

Why, thank you! It's always nice to start the morning with a compliment. ;-)

Did someone say my name?

No, no. I'm sure I heard someone talking to me.

Is there anyone else in the house?

Ummm...several. But none of them calls me crazy....in front of me.

I have some pills that block out those voices. You just stick them in your ears, or you make the person saying the things swallow them (dual porpoise).

Time for a nap. So I can ignore the e=mails saying I have to pay for my ebay purchases *bites fingernails*. I don't remember buying that noro or shibui sock yarn. Someone else must have broken in and used my computer. Damn yarn hackers.

*snort* Have a nice nap! I'm sure ebay won't notice if you don't pay! And how would they know it was your purchase? It's not like you live alone! ;o)

dual porpoise?

isnt a dual porpoise what they do at seaworld, when the dude in a wetsuit decides to stand on the backs of two dolphins?

I think it's where two porpoises have a grudge, and they settle it at dawn.

#31: You're thinking of duel porpoise.

no, that's where two indigenous american babies have a grudge, and settle it at dawn.

Pretty sure that's duel papoose.

This might take awhile. *pulls out a large bowl of popcorn and summons the couch*

Continue...

no, that's where two train carriages have a grudge, and settle it at dawn.

wouldn't that be duel caboose?

Drool caboose?

I think you're thinking of someone who lives alone and salivates a lot.

ok, now you're talking about me in 45 years

*Polly creeps in sits next to JP and grabs a handful of popcorn*

*JP flicks popcorn at Polly*

*Polly flicks back*

WAKE UP JP,

" I think you're thinking of someone who lives alone and salivates a lot".Answer pls before brain explodes - I need sleep. Does anyone have JP's number, this is an emergency!

LOL! See #40. If that isn't enough of an answer, we'll have to wait for MrA or Bib. They started this!

I believe JP's thinking of a drool recluse...

nicely done.

but isn't that someone who lives alone and lives on a diet of thin porridge?

Good one, MrA, but that's a gruel recluse. Then there's the really mean person who lives alone...

im new! hello!

*waves hello to sarahy*

#48: Do you mean a cruel recluse?

additionally, there could be the half horse half donkey that lives alone

honkey recluse?

hi sarahy!

you know, you're very sarahy, but not the sarahest ever.

Goodness, are we odd, or what?

#54: I prefer to be addressed with the "or what"...

#54 I think I'm both ...

#53- thanks! :-)

I'm What. I thought Ron was Who.

A Who? Does he live on a dust speck? Did the Grinch steal his Christmas presents last year?

*JP thunks to the floor* Hey! Who took the couch?

things obviously havent changed much since I was last here.

#52, I was actually thinking a mule recluse, but never mind

Even though he lives alone, the mule generates a certain amount oif waste...

Ewww...mule refuse. :oP
I prefer Christmas waste.

yootah/shan: Things were pretty quiet, actually. You must have stirred us up.

Ah, yule refuse.
What about garbage that is kept at carefully controlled low temperatures?
Bwah ha ha ha ha!!!! I have caught up on posts!!!

would that be cool refuse?

Pool re-use?

well, one would assume that people would use a pool more than once

not necessarily. they may be really really rich, have a phobia about water-borne bacterium, and opt for one-use swimming pools.

"Jeeves! I have finished bathing. You may incinerate the pool now."

wouldnt u want to be a pool manufacturer to do that? or just really wasteful....

54> of course we are "odd" whats the point of not being odd!

normal people are boring!

boring people are normal!

we are all boring.

The only people who get bored are boring people

great, so that means I'm boring cos I'm always bored that's why I'm a juvenile delinquent

Anobium punctatum are boring.

I disagree. I think anobium punctatum stir up a lot of excitement in libraries.

As do the larvae of Xestobium rufovillosum.

Well, yes, that one is boring, but mainly to wood.

wood is boring, when it is trees except for these:

http://pooktre.com/images/index/pete_in_garden_chair_01.jpg

does anyone else think that these are amazing, or is it just me?

im confused now.

just go along with it....... :-) and post random thoughts!

Hi, I'm not new but i haven't reallt chatted on any threads. Whos going to see the new Harry Potter movie next week? Are you allowed to talk about the movies on here or is it just the books?

:L

Blackadder! I remember that from somewhere... Has it got hugh lourie in it? I think i watched it in history...... o.O

#83 -- Yes, you can talk about the movies, too! We have a couple of threads about it already:

Preparing for DH2

Reviews of DH2 (after we see it, of course -- none of us have seen it yet.)

#84 Blackadder is amazing. One of the few good things to ever come out of England. It did feature Hugh Lourie, but it also had Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, Tony Robinson and many other hilarious actors. I loved Blackadder goes forth the best though.

Wow I check a thread to welcome new folks (Welcome!) and we are already off on Blackadder . . .

#86 - "One of the few good things to ever come out of England" Ahem!! Speaking as an english member, I might have some words to say about that ;-) But yes, Blackadder is EXCELLENT!

I wasn't too impressed with blackadder, liked the 2nd series cos rowan atkinson looked really hot in it, always thought Stephen fry was a bit stuffy what about the young one's? Rik mayall is awesome, loved the hippy

LadyN is one of the few good things to ever come out of England. Along with HEGs. :o)

Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!

#90- and harry potter!

#88 I am actually Irish but living in England. My opinion my be slightly biased as I am a very strong Republican. But I have lived in England all my life. So I guess we have reached a stalemate.

#93 - ;-)

Vivian was bloody BRILLIANT! *slams head through wall*

#95 He did actually break more stuff today. I've finally put 2 and 2 together.

Vivian is very cool, the young ones never fails in making me laugh. I love the hippy though, you know: 'I'm just going to kill myself now, guys, guys?! no one ever listens to me'

#97 - I'm a Neil fan too :-) "We plant the seed, nature grows the seed, we eat the seed..." :-D

yeah and the extra arms he grows.

Hi, I'm new and I just joined! It's nice to meet everyone :)

hello! jump right in anywhere!

Welcome, Tavaresden!

Hello, guys!!!! I really loved the "new game" thread. Thought you might want to check it out too.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm the jumping-into-conversations-randomly type of person so I think I can manage that.

I'll be sure to check out that thread too, Cherry :)
