You know, there are some people around here that I don't know as much about as I would like to. I would like to feel like I know you all better. So, why doesn't everyone share how old they are, their gender, and where they live? Now, I know that I've been here for a couple of years now, and I have a bunch of posts. But I think that it's important that you new members participate. I understand that some new members have problems with "oldbies." I won't go into speculation as to why this is. Newbies, if this thread by an existing member bothers you, or you don't want to participate, I hope you will just do your best to ignore it, please. -o- Oh, and 32/M/FL [ September 13, 2004, 06:24 PM: Message edited by: Icarus ]

I'm a 90-year old woman living in Argentina. At least, that's what I tell all those registration forms.

I can't believe it's gotten this many serious posts. Must be the fact that Icarus actually posted his own info as a sign of trust. 22/F/AZ Okay, I posted too slow. Thanks alot, Porter. [ September 13, 2004, 06:13 PM: Message edited by: PSI Teleport ]

Maybe not ASL, but Mack has been known to use at least one manual sign pretty effectively here. [ September 13, 2004, 06:18 PM: Message edited by: sndrake ]

Icarus, that was a really good drawing of Jerry Garcia's hand! (He was missing the middle finger of his right hand)

quote: "Older Than Bob" As in Scopatz. Exactly! But as the originator of the term - and one who fits the description - I think it's important to use the italics appropriately: "Older Than Bob "

Oh man... I'm having terrible flashbacks of chatting back when I was 14/M/quebec... Back when all I did was hang around in Yahoo!Chat... *shudders* But that was then, and now I'm 21/M/Ontario.. Ugh... This is one of the things I was actually happy not to do anymore. After this thread dies, let's not mention A/S/L again...

25/M/ID I don't know if it's because I'm getting old or because it's posted on Hatrack by Icarus (i.e. only a 40% chance of trolling for cybersex), but for the first time, I didn't cringe when I saw the title.

Wow, I had no idea there would be so many negative associations with this. But then, I haven't ever done the chatroom thing (except hatrack chat.) The first time I came across the term A/S/L was while playing isketch!

21/F/AZ This is helpful. So far I've only incorrectly guessed one person's sex but it's still nice to know for sure.
