I need to start an alliance with some other newbies before I really dig in. Any takers?

P.S. I have nothing to add to this alliance and don't really understand why I am posting this, but still, we need an alliance!

Way to sell yourself, P-man. Yes, if I decide to join your alliance, despite the fact you have nothing to offer to said alliance, I'm going to call you P-man...at least sometimes. I'm still fairly a newbie myself, so I guess I'll tentatively join. Besides, it's nearly 2 a.m....not really the best time to be making smart decisions, but what the hell.

Our alliance is two men strong. I like it. Alliance invitations will close in less than a year so HURRY!

MetalMan, is this okay with you? I don't mean to make so many executive decisions over here by myself...

Well, make it MetalWOman and you've got yourself a deal.
Yes, this alliance is one man...one woman strong.

As well as it should be. Grovel for a bit more and then let us never post of it again.

I feel compelled to join. Maybe it's the sexual confusion, maybe it's the pain beginning to seep into my head, but it seems like fun.

I think it'll just be you two now, since my use of the word "groveling" appears to have gotten me kicked out of the alliance. But I harbor no resentment...so good luck to both of ya.

Brak, I know I'm like, old time around here and stuff, but you and I should form an alliance now that you've been kicked out of this one for being a chick.

Nobody has been kicked out. I think these fights we are having will only make us stronger in the long run. You know, like a family. You know, like, today is thanksgiving. Right?

I think you're right, Penuckle, that all of this initial bickering, at least between me and you, does make this feel like the start of a warped little family full of dysfunction, and all the squabbles and gobbles is definitely in keeping with the spirit of Thanksgiving.

jane...even though you're an "old-timer," I think you should definitely join this alliance...and if Penuckle and insanitymonkey start to annoy us for whatever reason, then you and I should definitely branch out on our own. *whispers in jane's ear* But that's our little secret.

I heard that, but I will understand and respect your need to reach out to others. That will also make us stronger.

What's our alliance's name? We need a team name, color, and something else, and also one other thing.

Don't forget a theme song and fancy letterhead.
Can we have a secret handshake too? I'd like that a lot.

Great suggestions, fellas...we definitely need a name, color, song, secret handshake, favorite alcoholic beverage, secret code word, etc. I think we should also consider throwing things at stupid people as well...right insanity? *wink*

I'm new, however, I'm a loner but there are strength in numbers? What to do, what to do? If you guys were the x-men I could be the wolverine...you know the drifter that comes and comes as he pleases but is around when you need him and vice-versa..

Even though we're not the X-men, I like that Wolverine idea bunches, Disco. It makes you seem so dangerous and unpredictable and danger and unpredictability will make this alliance...dangerous and unpredictable. And perhaps sometime in the future, after our alliance has a particularly good day of kicking ass, we can celebrate by kicking back to the soundtrack of SNF and you can teach us the Hustle.

Throwing things would be great! This account used to be a fella but then he got busy and decided that I could use his account from now on, thus I became a chick. (I was going to change the username and all but meh, this will do as I've written some reviews already with this name.)
I'd like to be Wolverine too... mainly so I have metal claws to tear people apart with.
color - I like black, but some will argue that black is not a true color.
secret handshake - How about we bitch slap each other? (I won't use my metal claws and hopefully discodude won't either.)

Ack. Sorry for the gender blunder, insanity.
As for color, I was thinking of black myself, but we'll see what everyone else says. And I'll tell ya, lady, you sure as hell better remove those metal claws before any inside bitch slappin' goes down.

Oh that's quite alright brak, I'm sure it's happened before, perhaps even to you. (Flashback humor.)
Since no one yet objects, black it is. I'll go ahead and order the uniforms.
I'll try to keep the claws in for those in this alliance, but I can't promise anything beyond that.

For the record, I'm not so much in favor of bitch slaps as a secret handshake. I bruise really easily.

Howdy.

My head hurts. But it's sort of a good hurt. Or, hurt so good, rather. Come on, baby... make it hurt so good. A rousing thumbs-up. So, what are the long-term goals of the alliance? It's important to think about the future when it comes to potentially sharing closeness with others... know what I mean?

Hiya Music. Welcome to our alliance. I know what you mean about setting long-term goals for the future, but I usually just fly by the seat o' my pants. I hope your head still hurts good. *wink*

I love your avatar, by the way. As you can tell by my sig, I dig that crazy little Calvin. Oh yeah...cute pic of you and your puppy, too. Smile

Okay, I don't think I can argue with the "seat o' my pants" approach. It takes a decent sized set of ovaries to go without long-term goals, but I frankly dig that. I'm a walking example of no long-term goals. However, I'm lacking in the ovaries department. I hope.

And thank ya kindly. Smile Calvin does indeed rock. I've been a fan for as long as I can remember. As a younger chap, I would often use my library card to check out Michael Crichton and Bill Watterson. I always got odd looks from the librarians.

if you want an alliance, try and join one of the gangs on here.

i think the current choices are My Gang and Valchrist's.

Now, I never said I didn't ever set long-term goals. My "decent-sized set of ovaries" and I can most definitely be goal oriented. It's just sometimes fun to have a more devil-may-care approach, too. Ya know?

Crichton and Watterson are quite the combo. No wonder you got odd looks. In fact, I bet you still get odd looks from time to time for things you do. Wink

Ah, who am I kiddin'? Screw organization and pre-destination... it's all about the here and now. I think everyone in the alliance should just flat out begin making out.... on my mark......

I do ocassionally get odd looks these days. Although I think it's more of a pity-driven thing. "Aww, look at Daniel. He's trying to socialize. How cute..."

And, mark.

Canada isn't such a bad idea, although, I'm rather fond of leaving my continent altogether. How does Australia sound? Or, mayhaps somewhere over in Europe? I've lived such a geographically sheltered life that I feel as if I need a drastic change of setting in order to be fully satisfied.

I like the idea of Canada, eh. I hear Toronto is really cool, so I wouldn't mind going there and tracking down any of the remaining Kids in the Hall members and checking out the Lush store.

I also wouldn't mind going to non-edible Irish boy's roots and hang out at the pubs in Ireland, downing pints of the best guinness. I'd even buy the first round.

People, we need to FOCUS!
So far, our alliance color is black.
We all appreciate Calvin and Hobbes.
And something about Bitch Slapping?

--- We still need a name and about 50 other things.
FOCUS!

You're absolutely right, P-man. We need to first FOCUS on a name and then we can make the other grandiose plans. I don't have any specific name ideas right now, but I'm mulling things over. Our name also needs to be a great acronym...something along the lines of cool, awesome or rad. We can't be outdone by Valchrist's Heroes of Time gang, whose acronym is H.O.T.

I'm already in Canada, so how about I meet you in Toronto? It's only about an hour away. I refuse to spend longer then a day there though, damn hostile city people.

When we're done in the city, you can all come over for pizza.
I'm sure musicguy can keep it in his pants for awhile.

with that statement I feel like I've just entered prison-like cricumstance.... everyone one like come join our gang there's protection in numbers etc.... and then you gotta ,you know, earn your keep and pay for the protection you recieve by,you know, picking up the soap in the shower. Well, the best course of action is to find the toughest, biggest member of these two gangs and kill him and as the message board/prison analogy goes atleast verbally lash and embarass them and make a name for ourselves so we earn respect and keep everyone back on their heels why we can build strength...

It's time for you little birdies to spread your wings and fly. This thread is too dang small to contain our power and we'll only amass more of it if you start unleashing your posts in other forums, like general discussion or music and movies. Now c'mon...get out there!
