Okay... ur favs or just comment on my comics!

Hey that felt great! Everyone should say that!

ur favs or comment on my comics!

Wait, are we supposed to say "ur faves" OR just "comment on my comics," or the whole thing as one phrase?

I'm hung up on how to pronounce "ur".

I.e., a Norwegian.

I love how quickly we all rush to mock newbies. Such a big happy family.

Anyway, Deisel, to answer your frequently asked question:

It's not just entertainment, it's an important part of ensuring that only the strong survive. Of course, occasionally we scare off someone really nice, and occasionally we get some tenacious asshole like crabby who hangs on and sticks around... but for the most part, being mean to newbies is a time-honored and useful tradition.

It has to do with the fact that you innocuously slipped in under the radar and just started trying to go with the flow instead of drawing attention to yourself. It's what *I* did as a newbie too.

Don't worry. We hate you both, too.

I was lucky to make it here before there was much of clique of elitist fucks. But now that I'm one of the elitist fucks, I don't care too much.

I'm with Drexle. The only newbies that bother me are the ones that draw attention to themselves, because usually it's a sign of a big ego, and often they don't even throw in some modicum of politeness like a "Please check out my strips". I also slipped in under the radar -- just found a thread I wanted to respond to and started posting -- and I have to say, my newbie experience here was one of the best I've had anywhere.

The few newbie delurks I've had in the past all went pretty well, mostly due to what you mentioned. It's kind of like hanging out at a bar and listening to a bunch of people you don't know talk.

If you wait a while, get the jist of what they're talking about, then add in a comment or two of your own in the right place at the right time, people just sort of accept you.

If you burst in to the middle of a conversation and ask someone if they want to look at your Elmer Fudd tattoo you might get beat up.

Today on Mystery Science Theater 3000, our heroes will be subjected to an "entertainment" so fiendishly fiendish that... well, see for yourself.

Boorite made me pee my pants.

HAHAHAHA! You're as funny as the real Joel, Crow and Tom Servo.

Agreed. That cracked me up.

Best of all, you said Joel and not Mike.

If there is a hell, I hope Mike is burning in it right now. He is so not Joel it isn't even funny.

Boorite, you rule.

And I've never gotten to see a Mike episode of MST3K. In fact, even though I write MSTings, I've only seen about 12 episodes of the MST Hour, since I don't have cable. Sigh.
