hello bbakag.

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
Its just my name shortened - Cynthia

2) Are you male or female?
Female
3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?
25 - Rosh Pinah Namibia (and trust me you'll need a good map to find it)

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck?
This is a very touchy topic. You get your purists that will scream at the idea - just as with LOTR - and much will be lost in a movie. I don't think so - i think you will lose lots of the satire just for the sake of another blockbuster Hollywood CGI spectacular

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
I started reading TP at the age of 12 - when the librarian in our smalltown said i could start to read books from the adult section because i finished most of the interesting childrens books - i liked TP's book covers


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

Those who think nothing is impossible , they have never tried slamming a revolving door[/i]

I feel that you will feel right at home here. :badgrin:

Welcome bbakag and Cynth.

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

Will is my name and molly is my dogs name. 3 signifies my lucky number.

Male

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

22 Uk, Europe

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.)

With the CGI effects they have now who knows, but nothing will replace the imagination that you mind created!.

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

I finished reading ALL of Terry Brooks books and found that I had nothing left to read. Somebody told me I should give Disc World a go, hey presto I am 10 books oin and loving it!.

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

Dont mess with Greebo you may end up dead!

Welcome all new people.

So I guess this is the place where I'm supposed to introduce myself. I'm (obviously, or what else would I be doing here) a Terry Pratchett fan, and was having fun reading your posts, but since I don't want to get busted for lurking, thought I'd better say hi.

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

It's from a song (I think), and I thought it sounded cool. Plus the rainy seaons has started here.

2) Male or Female?
Female, if you must know.

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

age-older than I look, location-USA (Oregon)

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.)

No. I'd prefer to leave the characters in my imagination.

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

Loved Neil Gaiman's work, bought Good Omens, and then started working my way through the Discworld books.

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

"Resist much, obey little." I think it's a Walt Whitman quote, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Welcome, Sunshine!

Welcome to all other newbies too!

Hello SunshineDaydream

Enjoy.

Welcome SunshineDaydream.

Thats the happiest name on a board probably*

*This is by no means a fact and should not be stated as one in a court of law.

...Oh, so i won't be needing this lawyer wig then?

Thats not a lawyer wig Rinso, thats your pathetic attempt at a beard. :p

Is there some secret joke about Rincewind's beard? Or lack thereof? Or is it so secret that only very special people are allowed to see it?

Several of us have met up in person from time to time, and the last time we did, Rinso had grown a beard. It was mocked.
