Eeee-yikes. I'd heard about this NG long before I began the protracted
battle with shyness to convince meself to post here... and I find there
are over 350 subjects?! Egad! Methinks I should just resign myself to the
fact that I'm always going to be missing out on a certain proportion of
the available neat conversations, at least for as long as I'm forced to
use AOL's windup-toy of a newsreader. But here I am, eager to Meet and
Greet all of ye, my fellow fascinating and imaginative critturs. It would
appear to be Protocol to complete one of these illuminating 'Furvey'
thingies, and I'll do that at my earliest convenience (besides, it may
provide some subject matta for a Neat Conversation, ya never know). I
just don't happen to have my #2 pencil and graphing calculator at the
moment, hee hee!
Anyhows, I just thought I'd poke my head into the spotlight, acknowledge
my presence & that I'm all-kinds-of happy to be here. Be quipping atcha
again soon!

Here, you can borrow mine. Brand new pencil and top of the line TI
graphing calculator. *handing them to the newbie* :)

welcome aboard stealth fuz. yes I too find it nearly impossible to keep up
ith everything on alf, especialy here on aol's newsreader. in the abscence
of netscape (which lets you know who posted what without opening it first)
i have a suggestion that might help you a little. first go ahead and read
all you can on the subjects that interest you. when you have had enough
hit the "mark all read"
button. when you come back the following day you will see only new
messages.
good luck though, alf seems to have around 50 odd posts a day!
hope this helps you out somewhat, and good luck!

the plushies will come out and play!

its tiny little keys fit her paws perfectly :)

Trella greets the stealthy fuzz and hands him the Official Greetings
Glass of Iced Tea. <thinks> "Wow, I'm handing out a lot of them today,
have so get some more made up soon!"

"Ooo!" A blue ferret bounds from the bushes, and bounces over to greet
his fellow mustelid! "Hiya StealthFuz! Welcome to de-lurk-dum! Just
be careful you don't get stomped or blown up or crushed by the ferret
over there..." he points to a rather large mech that's scorching and
laser-ing random things in the distance, "...and you'll be fine!"

Thankee kindly... ::washes down mouthful of Oreo with a gulp of tea::
just be sure -- whatever you do -- when the time comes to replenish your
supply of Official Greeting Tea, that you don't attempt to acquire it from
a Nutri-Matic machine!!

Faranus blinks and his tail twitches at the mention of sparklies. He
looks over at the rampaging machine, wide-eyed... "Really?! Wow! Now
*where* did I leave those armor-cutting tools..." He shuffles around in
a huge bag, jumps into it and disappears. A minute later, he hops back
out, holding a strange device that looks like a combination drill and
ray-gun.

"Found one! Let's go get those sparklies!" <grin>

Hey! I resemble that remark!
