Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

Thanks for the warm welcome people! :-) It's great to be a part of this site/palaver! :-D
/You Suck!
JasKo! Welcome.
I am in love with your sig.
Roland would have understood.
Hi, I'm Mr. E. Lovely to be here. Couple things you should know about me:
1) I'm actually a professional (seriously, I'm shocked too).
2) The Dark Tower is my favorite series of books. They should be teaching this stuff in college (and probably will in ten years or so).
3) I enjoy my music. Especially the classic rock, as the kids call it these days. But I dabble in the jazz and the folk.
4) I do not have either nipple pierced. No tatts either. Total boy scout.
5) Women- pro-women. God save the queen.
6) I'm obsessed with that Showtime show Jeremiah. Its like crack for your brain.
7) DC's The New Frontier is one of the best comic books to come out in recent memory.
8) [Smiley face interlude]
9) I enjoy the occasional drink on occasion.
10) If I could trade in my blackberry for a super-intelligent monkey that followed me around the office with a rotary phone on a platter...I would.
Welcome to the site, Mister E! That's got to be one of the better intros I've read.

That, and the smiley face interlude puts it over the top.

Hi, my name is Matt and I'm from northwest Washington. I was a lurker and infrequent poster over at .net for the last couple of years. I've been an avid reader since I was a little kid and discovered The Dark Tower about 4 or 5 years ago. I read the series over a couple of years and was blown away. Probably the best tale I've ever read.

No one in particular.

Hey everyone, saw this thread and decided I should probably put my own 2 cents in. I've posted in a couple other threads, too. Anyhoo, my name is Michelle and I live in good 'ol Montana but I'm from NY. On with the questions!
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I first read Sisters of Eluria a while ago and I just HAD to read more about Roland and his travels.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Uh..Roland, I guess thats pretty apparent from my last answer XD
What is your favorite book?
I think The Drawing of the Three is my favorite at the moment only because so much happens in that book and some seriously funny things happen to Roland (Ex. He drinks soda and freaks out lol oh and can't forget the Astin hehe)
How old are you?
I'm 23 but my b-day is in exactly one month ^.^
Where are you from?
I'm from upstate NY
do you have a nickname?
A lot of my friends call me Chelle ^.^
Well there it is, hope it's not too long

Thanks for posting that, Katet - Drawing of the Three is my favorite, too. I think that's the one were you really get a sense of Roland's personality.

Welcome you triumvirate of newbies!
My favorite bands can kick your favorite bands' asses.
The horizon is right and motionless like the EKG of a dying woman.
As do I. The quality kind of slags after the Beneath, but you gotta love Conquest. Especially if a disease kills all the cats and dogs and you're human overlord orders you to...
LOVE!
Jean & Fru- thanks. Did that portly cat write a welcome sign on toilet paper? That's kinda gross. But I like it.
Thank you for the welcomes
This site seems to be much more friendly and casual than .net.
I think it was special welcome toilet paper.
mattv2099 - you will notice a warmer reception in general, IMO.

Exactly
The next "hugging" smiley up is a nuclear hug...nobody wants to see that.

Well, yeah, actually, yes we do.
