Ohayo!
« on: February 22, 2009, 11:41:27 pm »
Hey guys--my name is Spinner, but you all can just call me Ben. I'm a writer (I guess?) attending Champlain College in Burlington, VT for professional writing--which is kind of like a creative writing major but it involves business aspects, journalism, poetry, screenwriting, and other fun writing-related stuff. I've written three practice novels, and I'm working on my fourth (hopefully this one will be serious? xD). I virtually live with my headphones on listening to metal, and after seeing milkman's intro thread, I think we're going to get along xD

Looking forward to meeting y'all ^_^

Ben

CLAIMED! YES I GOT MY FIRST CLAIM!!!

Welcome to IF. Please make yourself at home.

Also, rules:

1 - Watch out for TheMilkman

2 - Watch out for TheMilkmen

3 - Never confuse sold's gender (whatever it may be)

4 - Flattery will get you everywhere (see TheMilkman)

5 - British accents are fun to listen to

6 - Typographical errors are more common than makeouts (read: often)

6.5 - Don't worry about it.

7 - When in doubt say nothing. And then run.

8 - Bran is automatically funny. No questions asked.

9 - Syllables, contrary to popular belief, can in fact kill you.

10 - Never declare your sarcasm

11 - Words are sexual.

12 - Carmal soda is the #1 investion.

12.5 - Yes, investion

13 - It is best to make your screenname as obtuse and unpronounceable as possible (see rule 5)

14 - To compensate for his terribly prosaic name, Dan will consistently give every new person he meets a rather bizarre pseudonym. (i.e subliminiminal ---> tibiddo)

14.5 - Note that Dan is away on his tour of the foreign world, his quest being to collect all known syllables. Out of respect, no pseudonyms will be awarded during his absence.

15 - Don't too giggle hard when eating cookies. No matter what people may say, solid food can and will come out your nose and, when it does, it's painful.

16 - Anyone who complains about members quoting other members in their siggys will be quoted in a siggy. But only if it genuinely annoys them.

17 - Nothing can ever compare to the awesomeness (and hawtness) that is ironypills, hence the phrase "Well it's okay, but it's no ironypills"

18 - Ironypills is IF's resident memologist. She is the authority on all IndyFluency memes.

19 - All new users must be CLAIMED at first possible opportunity. The person who claims the most users is winning.

20 - This forum is for the sole purpose of training and expanding the IF armed forces. When neoeno deems the forces advanced enough, he will declare war on 4chan.

21 - NO CHILD PORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

22 - Any rule which is a palindrome and also contains no 'e's is automatically true, unless it conflicts with any explicitly declared rule.

23 - Tell her bobman.

24 - Incretion, it's a religious experience!

25 - Naked gay boys have naked gay sex is ALWAYS accepted.

Industry rule No. 4080 - Record company people are shaaaaadyyyy
(So kids watch your back, 'cause I think they smoke crack. I don't doubt it, look at how they act.)

These rules are subject to change at any time. All proposed rules will be accepted unless they are not

It's good to see that claiming has survived the ages. And that there is a new member. Finally, finally.

Double claim.

Hold it RIGHT there. You are NOT taking away from my very first claim. :(
