Welcome from another newbit (I'm mostly a lurker). I saw your post on Night Watch, and you picked one of my favorite of all of PTerry's quotes. I figure if your taste agrees with mine, you must be brilliant!

Seriously, now, I'm really looking forward to hearing more from you. Don't give up on the writing!

Welcome Ineffable,
You may as well hand over the sock because the left one will go to the lesser spotted washing machine monster anyway!

You also don't want to make Bob :( any more unhappy than he is now.

Hi~
I'm new
1) The reason why my screenname(LupineLuna) was choosenhas 2 parts: Lupine was chosen beacause I LOVE all canids and Lupine emplies wolf-ness.( Anguais fave character) Luna is spanish for moon. The moon is long assoiciated with females and Feminine mystique.
2)Female
3)I am 14 and live in the USA only until I can leave or the government does whichever comes first.
4) The movie might or might not suck , I would check it out anyhow
5)I found Discworld when I was ten ( Feet of Clay) . My parents had been reading it and I just picked it up and didn't put it down till past midnight.
6)Personal Quote-of-the-day? :"God is coming and she is p*ssed"
7) Gerald Durrell ,or perhaps Tamora Pierce

Welcome LupineLuna - I presume your quote is using the American meaning of "pissed"* - i.e. angry - rather than the British meaning - i.e. drunk - though come to think of it, the British version could work!

*On this board, we don't have a censor mechanism - we can use the real words.

Welcome LupineLuna! Lupine is associated with wolves, because it's wolf in Latin. Canis Lupus is the genus Wolf, and you add a species name to make a certain species. Example: Canis Lupus Dirus Is the Dire Wolf. Right LaughingFire? :yawinkle:

You had better give your left sock to Bob :( because now he's got three right ones, and only two left ones. As a plus, it also makes sure you're not a vampire. (Have you read Carpe Jugulam?)

Yep, Gawain! Well, technically 'lupine' is either an adjective meaning wolf-like or a flower, but good enough. 'Lupus' is the latin, and Canis Lupus Dirus is indeed the Latin name of an extinct species of giant wolf WITH SHARP POINTY TEETH!!! ^^ Love wolves. High five, Lupine!

Hi, Bob.

:(

He doesn't seem pleased to meet me.

(There may have been a previous version of this posted a few minutes ago as Gawain. That was still me; I just hadn't noticed that CERTAIN PEOPLE had left my laptop signed onto this site as them....)

I know. I'm technically supposed to be working very hard right about now, since this paper's due tomorrow and this other paper's due the day after. I just can't concentrate. But I am trying, so taking time out to get an avatar would be...bad. Yes, bad. I'm not an Unseen University student, you know. The teachers do NOT try to avoid us.

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.)

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

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

Edited to add the question Mal suggested
1)It's my favourite discworld character! he can unscrew all the screwed situations!
2)male
3)21, fairly nice guy, european
4)if they follow every single word and tone set by Terry-they just might be able not to mess it all up
5)it was about 10 years ago! it all began with The Light Fantastic!
6)Don't panic

Hello, Sir_Vaims.

*Vainly pretends to be long-time member*

....Aw, screw it. I'm a newbie and proud of it! Pleased ta meetchy'all.

1.) The desire to not use my incredibly stupid last sn.

2.) It doesn't really matter, does it?

3.) Teenager. American. That's everything you need to know about me.

4.) Only Mort. The fight scene would look awesome on the big screen.

5.) ...Y'know, I honestly can't remember. It probably fell on my head one day at the library, and I was mesmerized by the shiny letters. That happens to me a lot.

6.) "Hi, my name's Impulse. And these" Clunk, clunk "are my feet."
