Hi Alfonz, Woodchopper and Shregor. Welcome to the Board. Hope you enjoy yourselves (or yourselfs according to another thread).

Welcome to the boards, Alfonz, Woodchopper and Shregor!

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

Its the name i use for all online access. ME as a star casue thats what i am.

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

MAle, yes definately . I think.......

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

Old, but not too old but yet not too young, but not young???!!!!! Somewhere in the 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.)

With the technology today there is no reason why not and i would love to see both The coloue of Magic and Sourcery on the big screen ( as well as all the others of course).

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

A friend gave me a copy of the Death Trilogy once and i got hooked!!!

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

Why not?

Edited to add the question Mal suggested

Oh my goodness, this is going to be confusing! Hi, Grace, I'm... Grace! People will have to start calling me Buzz again, I suppose.

Hi, Bazstar! You've got a nasty attack of the Christines going on there.

Welcome to both of you!

Yikes !! They're multiplying !!

Welcome Grace and Bazstar !

Well, not so wee anymore. But I'm Asian so am still quite small, and often still get carded haha.

1) katalina is the Spanish version of my name, and 42 because it's the meaning of life, of course!

2) Female

3) I'm 28 years old and am currently living in Sydney, but I come from the Philippines.

4) Hmmm. Tough question. Only if the actors and directors are Pratchett fans themselves and understand the language and the way Pratchett plays with it to comment on our world.

5) I've always been curious but never knew where to start. My friend told me to begin with Wee Free Men. I loved it. But what totally got me was the discovery of Death when we took up Hogfather for our Comedy in Children's lit class. Brilliant! Yes, I love my class.

6) My name is Iñigo Montoya. You have killed my father. Prepare to die.

Hello everyone!

-My screenname is just a combination of two things I'm a fan of, the movie Serenity and the show Farscape. (My actual aol screenname adds a 42 on the end for the same reason as katalina said just above me.) My real name is Mike though, I'm not worried about letting that out.

-I'm male, always have been. But hey, if you call me a girl's name, I could answer. Without getting upset even!! Just don't make a habit of it.

-Iiiii am 23, soon to be 24 and live in Northwest Georgia.

-I have full faith that in the right hands a Discworld movie could (and should) be made. And none of this loose adaptation crap that barely resembles the source.

-I discovered both The Discworld and Terry Pratchett through the Douglas Adams Continuum. A couple of years ago everyone would be talking about how they were reading this Pratchett or that Pratchett and I got hooked in. I started off slow and picked up 3 books I think (I don't remember which ones though). Fairly quickly I had a shelf full of Terry's books, complete with two copies of Moving Pictures because I forgot I had already picked it up.

-My personal quote of the day...hmmm, my sig is good. "Like a balloon and something bad happens."

I'll stop rambling on for now, it just passed 2am and I should start considering that crazy little thing called sleep. Cheers!

Hello Serenity Farscape Mike.

Hi, Katalina and Mike! Welcome to the boards.

1. Chose the screen name to differentiate it from other usernames I have cocooned myself in over the years. I like paisley patterns, and I like mushrooms. I would like to see a paisley mushroom (preferably without having ingested any dodgy ones first).

2. Female. Definitely. I think. Probably.

3. Drifting inexorably towards middle age, but remaining resolutely teenage in my head. I live in the UK, but reside elsewhere (usually when at work).

4. Hmm. Don't know about that one. After various other disappointments I think I would rather play the films in my head, making my own (mis)interpretations.

5.Got The Light Fantastic out of the library 20?? odd years ago, went back via The Colour of Magic and continued to the present day as each new one was published. I will admit to a bit of a surfeit a few years ago and stopped reading, but have since picked up the habit again.

6. "Nothing wrong with dog's milk. Full of goodness, full of vitamins, full of marrowbone jelly. "

Hi Katalina, Hi Mike, Hi Paisley. Welcome one and all.

I think you and Plaid should get together Paisley. You two should clash nicely.

Welcome Paisley, strangely enough, Paisley Button was a character I invented for one of our games here on the board, so I can only approve the choice of names !

Hi paisleymushroom.

Holly Clara is my name.
I am a 30 year old woman living in the southern US.
I do not want movies made because it is impossible that the could be made correctly.
My sister who had only read a couple of the books suggested I pick one up. I was hooked.
"Real children don't go hoppity-skip unless they are on drugs." Susan in Hogfather.
