Woof! Let's Welcome the DU Newbies!!!!

[Zomby Woof]

With the fund drive going strong, we have lots of newly registered DUers, and I think they should cast off their shyness and POST HERE!

My name is ZombyWoof, and I'd like to welcome you to DU. We were all newbies once, and I will never forget how the veterans made me feel welcome. I like to return that favor from time to time. :hi:

Go on, we don't bite! :evilgrin:

1. Hey, new DU-ers!

Just kidding. ZombyCoffee for all (if you can really handle it -- it's toxic strong stuff)

Welcome, come on in, take your shoes off and relax. This next year should be great fun, if the last year is any indication.

Glad to see you...

5. Hello new DU'ers let me introduce myself

I am a computer program design in an elaborate scheme to launder money through a complex system of Pocahontas coins, internet postings, and used scratch lottery tickets. This fiendish plot is orchestrated by a consortium of recycling bin manufacturers and underground cement drainage pipe makers. Sssssssssssssh don't tell anyone.

Welcome to DU :hi:

[kyrasdad]

9. From the Under 1000 posts crowd...

Welcome all to the wonderful world of DU!!! Been here around a month and from day one was made ot feel welcome and listened to.

(and don't believe Zomby for a minute... they do bite... but in a strangely erotic, vampire kind of way which makes you even more rabidly left leaning) :bounce:

So, that's what happened to me! ;-) I see they got you, too.

I've been lurking since 2000, and, well, figured I'd better get on with it and post--and among so many whose posts I've read and respected. What a way to begin!

(really, and I'm not just sucking up.)

Cheers,
MG

15. I gotta ask ...

Thanks for the welcome. I've been lurking for awhile and feel comfortable enough to post. I gotta ask though, what is the origin of the name "freeper"?

Peace !

[underpants]

16. Freepers are the name some call posters on freerepublic.com

It's sort of the dark bizarro DU of the FAR right.

Some people also assign that name to all Republicans which isn't right or accurate.

17. Hello everybody

:hi: I've actually been on the board since the selection, but I just don't post much, cause I'm also very shy. I prefer to lurk and usually by the time I get to a thread, someone's already said my point MUCH better than I ever could. This place keeps me sane, most of the time. :D

[WilliamPitt]

18. Come on in and say hello!

20. Hey hey

Hiya folks, I've been a registered poster for a while, but have only really started posting here in the last day or so. My name is Jason Buckley and I live in San Francisco (which never fails to bring up the ire of any rightwingnuts I talk to online - I wish I had a buck for every time one of them called me a fag just because I live here!). My fiance moved from DC about 6 months ago and got married out here. During the day, I work as a graphic artist and in DC I worked for many political and progressive nonprofits. By night I'm a musician and filmmaker. If you want to see some of my short videos, check out http://www.JasonBuckley.com/vid.html . I also just completed a feature length political comedy which I shot on location in DC for no money and with no permits. It's called Washington Interns Gone Bad. Despite the highly exploitative title, it's a poltical manifesto railing against republicans, corruption, corporate media and intern scandals. If you want to watch the trailers and behind the scenes clips (or even pre-order the unrated special edition director's cut DVD in time for the holidays ), check out http://www.WashingtonInternsGoneBad.com . I would definitely be interested in allowing it to be screened to raise money for progressive causes such as DU, MoveOn, Progressive Majority, etc, so if anyone is in the position of setting up a fundraising party, please drop me an email. I'm glad to be here and looking forward to kicking a little right wing ass.
