I GOT MY STAR -- Thanks, Skinner et al!

[Radio_Lady]

Funny, my middle name is "STAR" -- it's right on my birth certificate. I was named after the comic strip Brenda Star Reporter.

(Actually, I changed it to "STARR" when I was in high school. The one "R" seemed a little too much... especially with my acne!)

1. yay

so your name is, 'radio star'?

i have reLiabLe information, that video may be out to kiLL you.

[Radio_Lady]

2. No, not exactly. I'm not a star by a long shot --

Just a wife, mother, grandmother, and volunteer audio personality.

What video? You're giving me the shivers.

5. I got a star a while back..

But I have no idea why. I know you get them for donating...but I never donated.

[Longgrain]

6. I'm guessing someone donated in your name...

It wasn't me, but some of us who already have stars, but still want to donate, sometimes donate stars to other posters.

In fact, my last donation was in another posters name, and she still hasn't noticed yet. :7

[ghostsofgiants]

9. Cool, I didn't know that

Well, thanks to whoever (whomever?) did!

7. Does that make us star-bellied sneetches?

;)

[Radio_Lady]

8. Well, yes! I used to be a sneetch without one on hers!

Now I'm a star-STUDDED sneetch! (I'm trying to LOSE the BELLY!)

[Roland99]

10. You and me both!

:)

[shockra]

Sent in my donation about a week ago. :)

12. Some Day I Will Be Up There Too -- 'Star Door Johnny'

Well...so, this is my first post and I am rilly nervous. I was going to say it must be wonderful to have a *sTaR+. Sure, sure, I know, yup -- it's not something just anyone can get, but hey: "a (person)'s reach should exceed (their) grasp, else what's a heaven for?"

DU: "But seriously, how did you find us here, stranger and star
aspirer to; underground 'n'all as we are?"
SV: "I was Googling around to find out something, anything, actually
and convincingly true about the state of the U.S. economy, and
was led here by some unemployed Louis Rukeyser Elves (ULREs);
this seemed like a friendly place at which to hear the bad
news. 'z'all."
DU: "...mm...NEXT!"

How did I do? No, really... I used VB-script in my siggy, I suppose we mark off for that here...

DU: "We??... -- mm, but in reality, how do you expect to
garner a star?"
SV: "Assiduity."
DU: "And the Derrida - Lacan business, thereto..."
SV: "That, too..."
DU: "Fine. Just watch the VB Script, and, uhh, try not to be so
annoying. -- Oh, you do read William S. Burroughs' column in
Interzone Nova Herald Express, right?"
SV: "INHE? Yah."
DU: "Mmm-hmm/fine. Okay."

... oh VB script works... nevermind...

14. Hi, studiovoltaire_us!

WELCOME TO DU! This is a wonderful place, IMHO, and I hope you will continue to post witty things and learn and laugh along with the rest of us lonely progressive types!


:toast:

19. Welcome to DU.

Looks like you got a star too. :thumbsup:

[newfaceinhell]

13. Dang

I'm gonna have to get me one of those.:thumbsup:

[Longgrain]

15. I do hope you join us in the stars soon.

Not only do they look cool, but you get some extra privlages such as being able to post in Groups and starting polls.

Plus Skinner sends you a neat-o bumpersticker...



Not bad for a minium donation of five dollars. :thumbsup:

[wryter2000]

You need the search function, trust me. Plus, all the great recipes in the cooking and baking group. Yum.
