9. Hi! I've been checking out this site since the elections....

It started out with me keeping an eye on Rasmussens tracking poll. I was at a friends house watching the elections and ended up leaving when the map turned red. Lots of cool articles and commentary here, and I hope to talk more!- Mark

I've been around a while but didn't join until a a few months ago. I've conversed w/you a time or 2 I believe.

[Abelman]

24. Yes you have

you live in Kentucky? Perhaps that was another, but I believe we discussed Oberon and Ale 81

[wideopen]

48. That was it!

You mentioned homebrewing, if you need some help let me know,I've already made all the mistakes.

[redqueen]

33. Hi wideopen!

Glad you decided to stop lurking. :hi:

[wideopen]

45. Thank you!

I think I've run into you before here also. I'm here almost all the time during the day.

[redqueen]

49. Yeah I recognize your name...

I'm here weekdays.

[wideopen]

52. As am I,

too much to do evenings and weekends to be sitting in front of the computer. I'd rather be outside.

[bigwillq]

63. Hello wideopen!

Welcome!:hi:

[wideopen]

67. Thanks bigwillq!

[indy_azcat]

11. hola

Anyplace that has a 'pope it, i'm the fuck' thread is cool.

But all those sundog sigs scare me... what's the deal with that?

~I_AZ

[bigwillq]

12. Don't be hating on the Sundog

He's an A+ certified cutie and one helluva a DUer!

Welcome aboard!:hi:

[indy_azcat]

14. only love

... but 9 outta 10 DUers in lounge seem to have hijacked the poor guy. It's like this weird obsession... does everyone have a piece of sundog? Which pieces are left?

[bigwillq]

16. There was a thread

And in the subject it said you had to have a pic of sundog in your sig line or you couldn't post in the thread. It's a running joke that got a tiny bit out of hand!

[RetroLounge]

29. Who is Sundog?

RL

[redqueen]

34. Hi indy_azcat!

Great place, innit? :hi:

[keithjx]

13. I qualify then.

Not like in pole position, I never qualified in that f-ing game.

anyway, I don't post much, so my count is low, but I've been here almost a year now.

:hi: everyone!
KJ

Hey, at least they got to the World Series last year!

[Rocketdude]

But this year we're going all da way!!!

[bigwillq]

22. Keep dreaming, newbie!

We all know the Evil Empire is taking back the crown!:bounce:

[Rocketdude]

[Huckebein the Raven]

20. Hey newbies

:hi:

[ScooterTramp]

36. Hi I'm a newbie, but I've been warned about the Lounge, so

I brought a police whistle, mace, a pamphlet titled "Tai Kwan Do for Beginners" and three kegs of beer. :rofl:

[redqueen]

38. Screw that other stuff, let me at those kegs!

:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

:hi:

[ScooterTramp]

44. LOL!

[Abelman]

40. Warned?

Whatever doyo umean?

We're sane! Right?
(HAIL STAN!)

Right?

[ScooterTramp]

46. You do know the Lounge is infamous, right?

Like all over the internet(s)?

[Abelman]

51. Infamous?

Like, more than famous?

I only ever post here. I used to have a forum long ago and I lost it. Years went by and I discovered this...this Shangri-La. Oh the years I've wasted:cry:

[ScooterTramp]

53. That's terrible! I'm so sorry your quest took so long.

:cry:

[Abelman]

54. it's okay. I'm over it now.

But, gosh, it sure was a long search. They should make a musical about it. Except it would just be me on the computer taking online quizzes.

[ScooterTramp]

68. Add a few romances and some mild debauchery and

that could become a quest with the right ghostwriter.

[Emops]

39. I'm Emops, 22/m from Dayton, Ohio

Hi, I'm pretty much a newbie even though I have over 700 posts...But I just got a star last week. That's good.

[entanglement]

41. I'm entanglement

Been a member for a couple of months now and lurked several months before that, so I feel quite at home
:toast: to everyone

[bigwillq]

66. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[The Donkey]

42. Newbie Here!!!!!

Although I've been a lurker for quite a while now. I've spent quite a bit of time working on democratic campaigns and causes, and I must say that this place is now my favorite source of news. Now that I've joined, I don't know what took me so long!

DU has inspired me to create my own website, and between here and there I'm just online waaaaay too much. So, hi!

Oh yeah - since we seem to be keeping a tally - I'm a Red Sox fan from way back.

:hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi:

[bigwillq]

47. Welcome!

Ever though you're a Dead Sox fan!:hi:

[Abelman]

76. Welcome!

Don't listen to the Sox haters - they'll be brought to the light side.

[DrDebug]

50. Hi, I'm new

Well not really, I've been bugging you a lot the whole week and made the occassional posting since December or so.

Anyway just wanted to say that this place rocks

:headbang:

[Longgrain]

55. Welcome all newbies! I hope you have a great time here.

Don't worry you'll get a feel for the place after a while. :hi:

Peter

[Divameow77]

56. I'm a newbie

I found out about the DU message boards from my mom, she has been on here forever.

[DrDebug]

57. Yes. A second generation DUer

:cheers:

That calls for a celibration!!

[Longgrain]

61. Oh, who is it? Would we reconize her name?

I'm dying to know.

[entanglement]

58. Help, I'm a newbie and I feel totally unwelcome!

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I'm sure you won't even scroll down to read the rest of my message!

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:





























How was that simulated 'I need sympathy' routine? }(

[Longgrain]

65. Then you are not welcome to DU!

Scroll down to read the rest of my message.






























Hi entanglement! Welcome to DU. :D

[BikeWriter]

73. You Poot! :-)

[BreweryYardRat]

69. Hi there!

I lurked for about a month, then decided to join. Loving it here. Although I don't like the "no sex threads" rule.

[coyotespaw]

70. Red State Newbie here

Hiya from Iowugh.

[BlueIris]

82. I love your handle!

It's precious.

[coyotespaw]

83. thanks, though I was going for "vaguely cryptic"

:hide:

[BikeWriter]

71. I'm a newbie to some. I'm BikeWriter.

Some know how I am, some don't. Yes, I love many of you who are righteous people. Others I don't agree with for shit. I will ask all of you to please give our troops returning from combat overseas a chance, whether you agree with the war that made them vets or not. They do deserve your respect.
Thank you
BW

[Abelman]

75. Newbie?

You? I thought you've been here forever. Maybe I should actually check dates someday.

[BikeWriter]

80. ROFL! I just post a lot. :-)

[orleans]

72. i would just like to say hello

to all the newer posters & lurkers, to all the posters that are becoming more familiar to me, to all children and animals in the world, hello to rainbows and chocolates. i'd also like to say i'm so happy to be here and so happy to have found DU.

[Tracyjo]

74. Am I still a newbie?

I've lurked for a while and didn't register until after the election. If anyone ever called me a freeper, I would die!

[Anthropologist]

77. Hey it's me!

I'm fairly new to the board. I've been cruizing this site since the early days of the Dean Campaign and I finally signed on. I'm 22 and will be going to Indiana University of Pennsylvania ( www.iup.edu ) in the fall to get my BA in Anthropology. WhooHoo! I'm single, I'm Jewish, and just having a good time living out my twenties. I'm glad I'm finally getting a chance to talk to y'all. :bounce:

:toast: :party:

[Abelman]

78. Whoa!

A brand new, fresh from the pack, newbie! Welcome to DU!

[ScooterTramp]

79. Kick

[BlueIris]

81. Oh, what the hell.

25, F, Oregon. Never getting married, never raising children, never voting Republican. Likes: John Kerry. And not a whole hell of a lot else. Sorry, y'all, it's been a bad four years.

[Steve Nash is god 13]

84. Hi, I am kind of new here

[JimmyJazz]

85. Yes - it is your place to do so. Anytime someone wants to

roll out the welcome mat for the new people, I think that's a really good thing :hi:

In fact, the responses to your thread actually prove that without my post.

[demjuli]

86. Thanks for the welcome

I'm a 41yo Minneapolis resident, totally OUTRAGED by what the republicans are doing to this country.

[matcom]

87. Hi. I'm Matcom
