Phew! Glad I didn't waste my first thread on something really lame, or something.

3. Your first post came at post 33.
You must be a gift of God or something.

8. I don't know - is there a universal standard?
It was my school nickname - not exactly the best nickname, but I grew to like it. It's also the name of a record I rather like. Odd coincidence that.

15. Well, I've lurked for a long time.
I think there are about a hundred-or-so posters who make 90% of the posts. A lot of them are friends. How would one define a clique? Is a clique something that won't let others in?

Or is it a Julian Cope thing? Kidding, glad you are here. Welcome to DU!

33. I'm an archaeologist and (amateur) historian.
I'm currently in Western Canada visiting my relatives (and skiing - obviously) - so I've taken a lot of photos of native historical sites and landscapes.

44. When I asked you this before, because you had his website in your profile
You denied being Julian Cope, but the website instantly disappeared from your profile.

I used to like Julian Cope.

Droolian is my cousin Julian, who's staying with me for the next few days. Never post at the same time as someone else on your computer - it's horribly confusing.
