Yes, his leadership of The Cellar is monumental. It's almost . .. dare I say . . . presidential?

I don't think this forum welcomes newbs well all the time.

Some people here are very quick to pass judgement and it would seem they can be very unkind.

Besides that, I find this forum to be an interesting source of news, particularly the trivial stuff that is found on iotd usually.

Yes, the Cellar is an intriguing farrago, hodgepodge, potpourri, melange, assemblage, medley, mishmash, and pastiche of POVs, ideas, and insights that are difficult to find or express elsewhere, and it's unique because it encourages discussion from any quarter. I belong to other sites and I enjoy them, too, but the Cellar is a banquet for the brain.

I have lazy fingers today! I hope you don't mind if I just say "ditto" to you SW?

Undertoad · 02-21-2009, 10:54 PM

Heh heh no LJ, I will not take credit, that was actually a bastardization of an Abe Lincoln quote. Little-known I think, and I *almost* got it right.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-21-2009, 11:06 PM

I knew that... but only because I was reading an article about Lincoln last night.

I think sweetwater's "the Cellar is a banquet for the brain", ought to go on the masthead.

Or, the Cellar is a banquet of brains, would attract the zombie crowd.

I have the anti-zombie shotgun ready.

I like it here although I don't seem to fit in too well. :p I still go to other forums, but they aren't quite "hang-out" forums. They are more specialized forums. Each forum has a different community and serves a different purpose.

Yeah, y'all don't welcome newbies well. But what I noticed is that newbies that just jump right in are readily accepted.

I was a bit intimidated when I first came here but stayed because of the level of intelligence and openess (never seen such cuss words used in any forum before!

). I also stayed because of Undertoad. He seems very mature, intelligent, and even witty! hehe....a forum with such an admin, I wanted to hang around to see what it has to offer.

Oh yeah, there's never a boring moment. There's always some kind of drama going on.

:p

Don't fit too well? Why do you think that?
I don't remember anybody stealing your seat while you were in the bathroom, or spilling a drink on you.

They didn't exactly welcome me with open arms, either (I recall being asked what was in my medicine cabinet and bruce called me an unmentionable name; but then, after he got to know me, he became my sex slave!!

but I liked the people here so much, they made me laugh, I just stayed---much to their chagrin!

This place has saved me many times. I love it here.
