Hold me. I'm frightened and lonely.

There are lots of shiny objects and flashy gizmo-whoozies. "Posts" and "Polls" and "Avatars." Oh, my! WTF is an "avatar," anyway?

Is there anybody... out there?

1. Avatar

Image next your name. Mine is FDR. ;)

[Breezy du Nord]

2. I can sing, if it'll make you feel better...

good ?, what the f*** if an avatar? Am i jsut an idiot.

Oh, yeah, now I remember.

6. back in college,

when I ate too many shrooms, I'd always want to go back to my room and listen to (in my own fevered terms) "some Wilford Brimley oatmeal music." Which eventually my handlers figured out meant something familiar and comfortable. Usually turned out to be CSN (and one time the Geto Boyz, but that's another story).

So, if you don't mind, I could use a little "Southern Cross" right now...

Much obliged.

8. "some Wilford Brimley oatmeal music."

LOL!!!!!

3. It's a brave new world

And you'll be fine, really.

You can have a sig line all your own. You can still post gifs of your fuzzy little behind gyrating erotically (for a hamster, that is), and you no longer need to feel like no one ever reads your posts.

9. GUINEA PIG!!!

GUINEA PIG, GUINEA PIG, GUINEA PIG, GUINEA PIG, GUINEA PIG, GUINEA PIG!

He's SO offended right now! Says he's "never gonna dance again... guilty feelings, got no rhythm."

I tell's ya, this new Lounge is hainted! It's eeeeeeeeeee-villllllllllll!!!

[SOteric]

10. Dude, I was trying to spare your feelings.

A guinea pig is just a bigger, fatter hamster. But if it makes you feel better to hide in the loo with a George Michael song, (and I don't know WHY it would) y'all go right ahead.

[WhataBildeberger]

14. spare me your insolent jibes, sot!

Really? The same animal? Is that like corn and baby corn?

[SOteric]

17. Nah.

I'm just flippin' you crap.

Here, maybe this'll make you feel better:

[ForrestGump]

18. Speaking of George Michael......

It's a gerbil. And we all know it.

Dude....that's just plain cruel......

[MuseRider]

4. Flashy gizmo-whoozies!

I love it. Thanks for making me smile.

[WhataBildeberger]

13. seriously!

"I'm cold, and there are wolves after me!"

It is kinda freaky when something so familiar and everyday all of a sudden changes. It's like your house added a couple of rooms while you were out to dinner.

5. I need a little hug,,,myself....but this too shall pass!!

7. Hi, WhatA

I sent you a PM! Hope it works, and , where the hell is the emoticon shortcut menu that was so helpful?

[WhataBildeberger]

11. I think they're called "smilies" now

and it's "Smilies lookup table." Which, honestly, is not a combination of words that I would ever in a million years think to click on. Sounds like a cheezy "upskirt" porn site, to me.

[XanaDUer]

12. Thanks. How do I get to it?

I only know about four emoticons.

[Bossy Monkey]

15. It's right above the Subject line when you reply

and you don't have to cut and paste them anymore; you can just click on 'em :) See?

[WhataBildeberger]

16. alright smart guy,

how do I rate a thread? I want to freep my own pole. Er, poll. Er, post.

[Bossy Monkey]

21. It's at the bottom of the thread, below all the replies

a little pull-down menu. Lounge Lizards seem to be having fun at the moment giving everybody sucky ratings. Maybe they ought to be freeping their poles...

[WhataBildeberger]

23. gracias

now, I need a little more tech support... see post below.

This is biz-freakin-arre shit!

[WhataBildeberger]

19. GAK! Where the Fudge did Oscar come from?

I guess I got the signature thing wrong...

[WhataBildeberger]

22. OK, so I got the pic right

Who knows how to insert a line break in the sig space, so the text'll be under the puppet? HTML seems not to work.

[Nicholas_J]

20. What?

I don' even know you,sailor.

[LSdemocrat]

24. oh my

what have we done?

[Darth_Kitten]

25. I'm scared, too.

:scared:

[WhataBildeberger]

26. LIAR! I know you're not!

I've already seen you flashin' pussy in the Lounge!
