Why hello there!
« on: October 25, 2006, 02:19:14 PM »

Hi there, i used to be a member of "Hackernetwork" but as of late it appears to have disappeared. I remembered that people mentioned the geekery sometimes so i decided to check it out.

My name is Timothy I'm 15 (16 this November) and i like computers and stuff. I like to avoid internet shorthand if i'm not instant messaging because reading "OMFG tahts sooooooooo funny LOL!!!!11?!" makes me want to slit my wrists. I'm in 10th grade and i like online gaming and offline gaming and doing other fun and exciting things.

I lurked for a while at HN before introducing myself, mainly for fear of being flamed and flogged mercilessly but i decided to dive in head first this time and start contributing to the funny.

What do you mean Dcrog, of course they were chocolate...

The "chocolate" chip cookies are only for special occasions, generally i bring things easier to munch on... like cheese!

Thanks for the welcome(s).

Rolf:
You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
for fate to turn the light on
your life, little girl, is an empty page
that men will want to write on (to write on)
you are sixteen, going on seventeen,
baby its time to think
better beware, be canny and careful
baby, you're ont he brink
you are sixteen, going on seventeen
fellows will fall in line
eager young lads and roues and cads
will offer you food and wine
totally unprepared are you
to face a world of men
timid and shy and scared are you
of things beyond your ken
you need someone older and wiser
telling you what to do
i am seventeen going on eighteen
i'll take care of you

Liesl:
i am sixteen going on seventeen
i know that i'm naive
fellows i meet may tell me i'm sweet
and willingly i'll believe
i am sixteen, going on seventeen
innocent as a rose
bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
what do i know of those
totally unprepared am i
to face a world of men
timid and shy and scared am i
of things beyond my ken
i need someone older and wiser
telling me what to do
you are seventeen, going on eighteen
i'll depend on you.

Maria:
a bell is no bell till you ring it
a song is no song till you sing it
and love in your heart wasn't put there to stay
love isn't love till you give it away

when you're sixteen, going on seventeen
waiting for life to start
somebody kind who touches yourmind
will suddenly touch your heart
when that happens, after it happens
nothing is quite the same
somehow you know you'll jump up and go
whenever he calls your name
fone are your old ideas of life
the old ideas grow dim
lo and behold your'se someone's wife
and you belong to him
you may think this kind of adventure never may come to you
darling sixteen going on seventeen,
wait a year or two

Rolf really needed the shit kicked out of him, though.

I couldn't agree more. The only other thing that I dislike about SoM is (and Douglas Adams beat me to the punch here both chronologically and eloquently) that line about 'So...a note to follow SO!'...crap line if there ever was one.
