I'd like to introduce myself, Lounge Lizards.

[Cuban_Liberal]

Hi! My name is Tony, and I'm Paddy's s/o. He's told me a lot about you guys, and I've read quite a bit here, so I feel like I know some of you already.

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled programming.

:)

[Ernesto]

1. Good for you (& us)

WELCOME!

[Cuban_Liberal]

2. Thanks!

:hi:

[bigwillq]

3. Hello everyone

This is my first post. I think this site is cool. Hope to be checking in often. Finally a place were we could express our ideas openly.

[Torrey Pines]

10. Welcome to you, too, bigwillq!!

I'm pretty new here, too. ;-)

[Cuban_Liberal]

12. Welcome, bigwillq!

One newbie to another! :hi:

[Torrey Pines]

4. Welcome!

Watch out for that Mercurius lady - she's tough. (Just kidding!) ;-)

[Mercurius]

7. I'm going to be tough with you from now on!

Just because you said that. :-)

[Torrey Pines]

8. Oh?

And just how am I gonna know the difference?

And did you welcome Cuban_Liberal? ;-)

[Mercurius]

9. I thought you enjoyed it

when I was tough with you, honey!

And welcome, Cuban_Liberal. :-)

[Torrey Pines]

15. Tough is cool!!

And did you welcome bigwillq (see above), Mercurius? ;-)

[Mercurius]

17. Ooops!

Welcome, bigwillq!! :-)

See, I can be nice!

[Cuban_Liberal]

13. Hi!

I wasn't AWOL, either! :hi:

[moof]

6. Welcome to DU & The lounge

May you never dine on crow or be served by cannibals for supper.

[Cuban_Liberal]

14. And as Paddy says....

"May you be in Heaven half an hour before the Devil knows you're dead!". :)

[Cuban_Liberal]

11. WOW! I'm impressed!

Paddy was right--- y'all ARE a friendly bunch!

:hi:

[matcom]

16. welcome brother

glad to have you aboard! :hi:

[Cuban_Liberal]

20. Thank you!

Love your graphics, bro! :)

[HuckleB]

18. Greetings.

And salutations.

Where you been all this time?

[Cuban_Liberal]

19. I've been around.

I frequently read over Paddy's shoulder, and some times I read when I have free time, but just never have had the incentive to post. The nearness of the primaries have changed that. :)

[HuckleB]

24. Well, I have to admit that talk of the primaries scares me.

I've sworn off conversing about them here, but I'm known to break such vows now and then.

What's the last book you read? Movie you watched? Play you saw? Do you cycle? Run? Play basketall? What's your favorite symphony? Favorite pop artist? Favorite historical politician? Favorite human in history? Favorite dish? Wine? Beer? Mixed concoction? Favorite holiday destination?

Actually, I'm just giving you a head start. If you answer these, you'll be ready to post all day long in the lounge!

Cheers!

:hi:

[Breezy du Nord]

21. Hi

Nice to meetcha! :hi:

[Cuban_Liberal]

22. Howdy!

The pleasure is all mine, lovely lady. :)

[Breezy du Nord]

28. Allow me to intorduce myself, I'm unofficialy known as...

"DU's baby," because I'm only 14, but still, I stick around for some reason. It's good to have you on board, I lurked quite a bit too before joining up, just because at the time I didn't think people would take me, a 13 year-old, seriously. I eventually got over that and now I love it here. Hope you like it too!

[underseasurveyor]

23. Hi C_L

I welcomed you in my sad post. But I thought I would give you a huge warm welcome in this much happier one :-)
:hi: :bounce:

[Cuban_Liberal]

26. Hi!

I saw that, and I'm VERY sorry; we love our little furry friends more than words can say, and you have my total sympathy! :hug::hi:

[SOteric]

25. Paddy's told us so much about you, too!

And in such charming ways. It's a pleasure to have you with us.
