Hello! I found this message board a couple of years ago when I followed a link through Yahoo (payphone project). From time to time I visit and read, and sometimes I post. In the past I just lurked mainly. I didn't realize that was impolite either. By now I've revealed quite a bit about myself, so I don't know what else to say. I am female. I live in Brooklyn (where the theme song to the Nanny got displaced only when I saw one of the patrons from the library whose name is Angelina... now I have "Angelina" by Louis Prima in my head... much better!) where I work as a librarian in a small branch library. I am originally from Toronto (or more specifically, North York) and I plan to move back to Canada in a few years. Living here is so expensive that I have to work for a few years to save enough money to make my way back! Um, despite my sometimes mean streak, I love cats (are you picturing the typical librarian? I don't wear glasses). Most of the people here seem pretty nice - I am amazed at how many of you seem to be personally acquainted... is there a bar where you all meet regularly? :) I'll check back from time to time...

Even thought my name is Satan, I am not mean, I am rather nice. I just want my head back.

Hey...that's how I discovered Sorabji, too. I really used to be into lurking, then I faded away, and now I'm semi-involved...kinda.

It's funny... I noticed that someone I met through a mailing list posted something nearly 2 years ago (I recognised his story). I find that so bizarre. I had discovered the board before that post by about a year... strange coincidences.

Coincidence?? Or could it be...SATAN!

HaS AnY ONe seen Mi sebered heag?

One of my friends has a horrible habit of ALWAYS saying that line, J. He's also a magician.

Does he pull rabbits out of strange places?

Um, not that I know of...I'll ask him. This could be interesting <wink>. He's actually more of a cards and dissappearing stuff guy.

the only bar i meet at regularly is the one in my kitchen

Do you have free pretzels or nuts?

anyone know any jokes?

So this guy's driving down the road with 3 penguins in the back seat. A cop drives by, notices the penguins, and pulls him over. The cop asks "whose penguins are those?" and the guy says "they're mine, officer." So the cop says "you can't keep penguins! Take them to the zoo right now!" and the guy says "OK" and drives off. The next day, the cop passes the guy on the road again, and the three penguins are in the backseat, wearing panama hats and sunglasses. Of course, the cop pulls him over and says "hey! I thought I told you to take those penguins to the zoo." and the guy says "i did, and we had such a good time, we decided to go to the beach today!"

drum roll. haha. I love "lame" jokes... "Did you hear about the new pirate movie?" "No...I haven't." "It's rated 'ARRRRR!'!!!"

I always ask Ishmael to tell me this joke. What did the farmer say when he couldn't find his tractor? "Where's my tractor?" heeheeheehaha!!

Hey Willy Nilly are you still around? I found this site looking for teliphone service and saw the old phone booths and then the "What are you doing" segment and thought it was wild. Take care, John
