Another PA member? Hmm...

Is the population here pretty much east coast? Seems like a lot of PA members.

Oh and welcome and stuff...

That's cos the system started in Philly as a dialup BBS and retains some of those users.

And, welcome and stuff.

Ah ... I remember the dial-up BBS days. I forget how I ever got involved with those things ... but I did ... and now here I am.

[Oh yeah - I once got a date and sex (with a woman!) out of a local BBS. Any chance for that here? Ladies?]

When he's ready, we should use the Cellar as a tool/weapon for getting Sheppsie a date. We could get three or four to compete for the chance, then us Dwellars could choose which lady gets the dream date.

Any ladies interested?

Are you sure it's not, "Get away from me you dirty old man!" proceeded by a smack to the head with a purse?

Oh no, no, Syc. They're not that nice. They let me hug them and smell them and kiss them and feel their heat. Then they say...

Jim, Sheppsie is another alias of the infamous Undertoad.

"Sheppsie" made its debut on the Cellar in February, after I started using it in our personal conversations a few months previous. For some reason, I felt that UT needed a hockey-sounding nickname, and so..."Sheppsie."

Ummmm whatever syc, I don't know from hockey, so if you say it's a hockey-sounding name I'll take your word for it.

But, my first reaction was, it sounds like the name of my great-aunt's pekingese.

Still, it's a good idea.. interviewing the candidates would be amusing for everyone. (Does Phoenixville have public access cable??? )

Growing up as a Blues fan, damned near every player seemed to have a nickname that had a long "e" sound at the end of it...though some of them sounded rather ridiculous.

Given that this is Fly-Boys country, the trend may be more on the order of prefixing things with "Lind" ... thus "Lindshepps".
