Glad I cleared it up.

Hi Cynical Youth. And hi everyone!!

Hehe I just found this at the bottom of the boards index page. Made me giggle.

"The latest adventurer trying to swim the Great Nef is Rockycog"

(If only I knew what the Great Nef is - a body of water I am thinking but then again you never know).

Anyways, sorry, that is all I wanted to say.

Rockycog ~

Welcome to all new people.

Hi to everyone thats joined since i last said it! have a merry old time here in eng...these boards!

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?

It's the name I use in a few other places, the name of one of my favourite albums (by Martina Topley Bird) and it fits me!

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)

Female.

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?

24, Hampshire, UK

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? (note, this in no way shape or form asks about casting choices you'd like to see. i have a loaded rifle and i'm not afraid to use it.)

Anything is possible.

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?

Many moons ago Griff Rhys Jones presented the bookworm show on BBC. I used to watch it fairly religiously. It was on that show that I saw a feature on The Bromeliad Trilogy; I've been a fan ever since.


6) what's your personal quote of the day?

"Everyone has the right to fail."

(also posted on the TPBooks boards)

hi Quixotic, hi deathinapinkboa...i love the name!

Hope you enjoy our happy little home on the net

A matching avatar too!

I like both your avatars! Welcome!

Okay, I'll edit some blunt advertising into this post, but it'll be so tiny that you will not notice other than unconciously.
Deathinapinkboa, if you drew that avatar yourself, you might want to consider taking part here...

Also: Aren't you from the old boards too?

I'm just a small-time lurker, trying to go straight...

1: motivational impetus for screenname:
Long story short--I get called 'sir' so many times a week at work, it seemed to be the thing to do...

2: gender:
Female, though sometimes people seem to doubt it.:?

3: age and location:
nearly 24, Midwest USA (I think I saw a fellow Nebraskan here somewhere...)

4: a discworld movie?
Gonna have to go with a probably not, though books have been done well in the past. I may change my mind after seeing Chronicles of Narnia.

5: turned on to Discworld:
Well, about three years ago someone I worked with said, "You've got to read the Discworld novels!" So being the conscientious, linear person I am, I went and bought "Color of Magic." I quit less than thirty pages in. Last winter, I was searching for something to read at the library, and saw their very small selection of Pratchett books, and decided to give it another go. I picked up what they had, read Monstrous Regiment first, and the rest, as they say, is geography.

6: quote of the day:
overheard this conversation:
"I've figured out there are two kinds of people in the world--"
"What, dumb and dumber?"

Don't know that I'll be around much. I enjoy reading the posts, but mostly I just want my high scores recorded for "Last Man Standing."

Hi Ozzer, it's nice you made the effort and made at least one post, I think Whitewolf has also only made one then wasted his/her life on the games ever sinse, as has cmotpeter who hasn't posted at all!

Just to be up on them both why not post just one more tiny thing, just a waffer thin post wont do you any harm.

1. My screen name... the dwarf song.
2. Gender... male
3. Age/location... 16 Sydney Australia
4. Discworld movie... probably not
5. Turned on to discworld... I bought the fifth elephant for no particular reason about 3 years ago and thought it was awesome.
6. Quote of the day?... "If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room."

Having new members is good. Consider yourselves greeted.
