Category: Getting to Know You
Where the hell have I stumbled into? I hear strange voices speaking in all directions. I mean, am I safe here? How do I know if this isn't the place where the fatal event will come?
"Wait a minute, now, Eerie Silence. Take a second to assess this situation in which you're about to engage. You catch enough goose bumps from the freaks living in that ghetto north of skid row don't ya'? Do you really need anymore cold shoulders coming from the members of this site? Watch out now! Besides, should you even stay for long here in this quiet place? I should say it does seem a tad too far from home don't ya think?"
But hold on, it looks like there are some benefits in being here. There are lonesome souls here looking for a listening ear. That's exactly what I need at times; and that's at least one interest in common with the wierdos I've come across so far. So it can't be that bad can it?
And what else is there? A chance for romance? Here? On the net? Nonsense! Or perhaps friendship? Well, we shall see.
"But damn, you better take more time to assess this situation more carefully. Do you really think you should be here?"
I've been coming on here for about two months now and what I've found is that the games are time-consuming, the boards are full of content too enticing to pass up; on every page are to be found intellectuals, poets, pranksters, scoffers and heathens along with simpletons all having something to say. Some posts even seem to be from a peculiarly sincere group which at the same time consists of those who are being chewed up by the rest.
"But Eerie Silence, you're accustomed to the bs and this shouldn't be a reason for you to leave. Shoot! You can hold your own in this melodramatic world. I know you can. It doesn't seem so tough here."
I don't know...
"Hey Eerie Silence: these guys are gonna want to hear some amiable nonsense from you in this introduction that can only be uttered out of the mouth of a master hypocrite. So what should you do? Show yourself to be a master of hypocrisy? Or are you gonna do the right thing? Go ahead, man, tell 'em all about yourself!"
Hello! My name is...
Betcha thought you had me cornered didn't ya'? Ha! Yeah right! Not this time pal!
All anybody needs to know about me is that I'm here, I've been here for about two months, and I don't think I'll be going anywhere any time soon, even if you don't like me. I ain't got nothin' to say that ain't been said under the sun already. So don't expect much from me. Don't be offended by anything I say either, ya' bastards!
Oh yeah! That's probably a propensity of mine that I should clear up here. Bastard has been one of my favorite words since as long as I can't remember. I don't know if it has something to do with the etymology or intonations but what can I say ya' bastards, I just like the damned word!
So see all yoos around on this wacky site called the zone...
Eerie Silence
That has got to be the strangest intro I've ever seen.
If you are serious: you're dead meat around here. Actually, you'll fit right in.
If, as my slow-witted brain vaguely suspects, you are making fun of us: you'll fit right in, but I suspect you aren't dead meat. I think you will be able to hold your own.
So, as Groucho Marks used to say: "welcome to the zone".
Have a cookie.
Bob
Hi Erie Silence,
I loved your intro and your sarcastic intrespective way of looking at things.
Welcome to the madness.
Jess.
Hello.
Interesting and creative intro.
very interesting in deed
mmmm, can I have a cookie too?
Are the cookies stuck together?
Yes eerie silence, welcome. Enjoy your stay, and have a cookie, or two.
SilkySarah I was hoping for poetry.
.... cookies for all .... in fact, take two at a time.
Bob
What, Eerie Silence, you admit you're a hypocrite? Good for you! Most folks don't seem to have the balls to dare admit such a thing in public. Gotta show the squeaky-clean upstanding normal citizen in public while hiding that chain saw under the trenchcoat, don'tcha see? Me, I'm just a self-proclaimed eccentric, or in the lingo of the trendies, weirdo, and a cynic and many other things and I'm mostly harmless. LOL!
welcome to the zone.
nice introduction
yes, welcom, and yes you should fit right in, looking foward to some more of your words
"Ah! Gee wiz guys. You've made Eerie Silence extremely happy."
{Applause}
I've been accepted! I've been accepted! Helelewya!
{Sobs of Joy}
Not so fast, newby, drop and give me twenty push ups--or is it pull ups--or maybe push overs.
Bob
Okay, but I must warn you: I eat a lot of beans!
Well I am sure we bastards on this site will do a wonderful job of accepting you into our realm. I say fuck all the time; you say bastard all the time. What trouble have we started! hahahahahahahaha
Fuck that, ya bastard. Welcome to this strange place we know as the zone.
