Hi there.

Post by BigGunn » Fri Sep 07, 2007 8:35 pm

Found the comic when someone posted a link to the Murse comic on fark. Decided to read through the archives. Got hooked, but quick. Read em all now in a matter of 3 or so days.

Anyhoo, about me. Name's Kyle. I live in Arkansas. I'm a high-tech redneck and all that jazz. I do game, though not excessively. (Mainly PS2 or Xbox - the old one, not that thar fancy 360 - with some PC stuff thrown in every now and again.) Bit of irony here. As I was typing that my friend and co-worker just fired up his emulator and I heard the capcom theme.

Annnnd now he's challenged me to some Street Fighter II.

I must go and teach him the power of my Hadouken.

From what I understand, it's only the egos that are bigger.

I've always wanted to walk into a pub I've never stepped foot in before, take two steps in, turn around, and then start shouting, "Heeey! What's up!" to everyone who walks in the door, shaking hands and giving hugs. Apparently it's a natural thing for some people to do. I just never remember to do it.

I had a feeling you'd post something on jas' "welcoming" of people 5 minutes newer than himself. It appears to be something a significant amount of new people do for about 3-5 days and stop again. If it bothers you that much, ignore it? People will do things they like and *gasp* SOME OF THEM MAY ANNOY YOU! But then, that'll never stop you commenting on it/criticising it, because that's what you like to do ;)

I, like Deacon was gonna comment on it. Seeing as I've been here like a week or so now, it seems odd that someone who signed up YESTERDAY would be welcoming ME.

To apply Deacon's scenario:

It would be like walking into a bar then going up to people who were ALREADY in the bar and welcoming them in.

Just strange behaviour is all.

Is there a perk I don't know about when you get to a certain post count? That would be the only logic I could see fitting this behaviour. And even then, it's still not necessarily APPROPRIATE behaviour.

Also, I like spelling random WORDS in capital LETTERS at different INTERVALS.

Names aren't the only thing big people from Arkansas have...we tend to have big family trees that intersect and cross in strange patterns :0

Haha Black Oak and White Oak.

I think the white oak got cut down several years ago, after it died.

I have family still there in Heber Springs and Harrisburg. Last time I was back there was a few months ago, my granddad died :( Gonna miss duck hunting up there with em around Harrisburg and Weiner.

haha, my brother used to live in Weiner. Whenever anyone would ask his daughter were they lived, she always proclaimed:

"I live in Weinie!"
