Welcome to Mellophant

Welcome to Mellophant that was Domebo. We are a general interest message board and welcome all. We will attempt to answer General Factual Questions, hold debates, talk sports and games or play games, discuss the arts from the cultural to reality TV and cooking and craft work of course. We of course have a large Lounge area for general talk and chat and what-ifs and just general chit-chat. We don’t have many rules and have places for trash talking and fighting.

We are to some degree a spin-off board to the Straight Dope and thus consider the Giraffe Boards a companion board. Overall our membership tends to overlap with the Straight Dope and to a lesser degree Giraffe Boards.

Please come on in and start posting. Introduce yourself here if you like. List things that interest you and someone will point you to existing threads related if you like. Say hello and enjoy yourself.

Oh sure, when What Exit starts a welcome thread everyone's all great idea, let's respect the OPs intentions. When I start a welcome thread it gets caged and people take potshots at me. RAEG:smash:

I'm a lurker at SD, and just a few minutes ago I see this thread there about mswas being banned, and read he had been member there for like 10 years (is that even possible?) and he (she?) mentioned mellophant which meant nothing to me, so I Googled it and here I am, because I have this terrible habit of signing up for almost any forum I ever come across, even if I never post.

I mean I sign up for forums and then like three years later have some reason to look at something on a thread there for some odd reason, and because my browser remembers passwords and cookies it turns out I am already signed in and then I say something and, well, it usually goes downhill fast after that.

Or worse, people encourage me and then it really turns ugly, because I feel like I have to stick around and get sucked into these dramas that exist in forums, and at some point I wander off to another forum. Which did last week, so that is it in a nutshell. I have no idea what this forum is about. I'm not really sure about the SD either, but hey that's how it is sometimes.

Dude, have a brewski and chill. We're cool peeps. Toddle in, toddle off, don't make us no never mind. We keep the lights on and the tables clean and you just pop in when you want. The edit button appears once you've made, I think, 5 posts. It's an anti-spam measure. Doubleposting is no big deal. Happens to the best of us. A lot of us are from the SD, some are from SA, others came on their own. We welcome everyone. Lowkey environment. We talk, we laugh, we commiserate. There's a chat as well. Feel free to come talk to us. I think that's about it. It's nice to see you. I hope you come back. We've got smileys!

Welcome! There isn't much in the way of form; conversations are loosely organized into forums, but nobody gets especially worked up if you put something in the "wrong" forum.

A good idea is just to click on the "New Posts" button on the top toolbar, and see if any of the recent or ongoing threads interests you. If none of them do, feel free to start a new thread, either by asking a question, or making an absurd pronouncement. It's what we do here!

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Would it be a little too narcissistic to do a 20 questions thing and see if anyone can figure out my SDMB identity?

No fair peeking at my e-mail address, now.

Fire away. I'll fail miserably, unless you're Der Trihs or OpalCat or someone similarly obvious, but I'd love a try.

Really, this forum is like a frat boy's studio apartment; there's a designated place to poop, but beyond that, it's pretty homogenous. Nobody really cares if you sleep on the couch, or point the TV towards the dinner table.

I have been referred to this board by Tom.

I am an ultra-liberal seeking early membership into the AARP. My life's happiness comes from trash culture, inappropriate crafting, thrift stores, terrible movies based on video games, late 80's pop music and R&B, and you know, other stuff.

I have a Divine stamp from Pink Flamingos so that, this xmas, I can give out sets of cards for people you've hate.

"YOU'VE BEEN CONVICTED OF 1ST DEGREE ASSHOLISM" they will declare on the front and on the inside of the card - leopard printed background with punched out hot pink palmtree border - Divine will declare "THE SENTENCE IS DEATH"

Because cards should be given for mean occassions!

I also want to knit a sweater someday that depicts the ultimate scene in Orca: Killer Whale where Orca leaps into a house and eats a character's leg.

Welcome Panther Squad we range from Very-Liberal to many moderate Dems to at least one reformed ex-Republican Green and one actual conservative but oddly extreme atheist. In other words we're all over the spectrum.

I like crafting but for me it is pretty much making wooden toys.

Yeah. Toms' been bugging me to join. I don't exactly hasten to join internet stuff. I have this problem with seeing blatant racism, discrimination, etc. You know, like how everyone should have. Except people online don't use that filter they have in real life that says "gee, it's probably not a good idea to declare in public that I wouldn't date [ethnic minority in my country/area] here because someone MIGHT BEAT ME UP."

Also, a place where comparative surveys between Jackson singles is accepted has a place in my heart.

Yeah this place trends pretty white but it's also like 98% queer, so we're excruciatingly sensitive to the concerns of all possibly minority groups. Tom may well be the only straight person here.

Mortal Kombat, BloodRayne, DOA, excited for the Tekken movie, upset i missed live action Dragonball in the theatres terrible.

If it has martial arts and ridiculous costuming it's probably a guarantee that I'll enjoy it.

edit: I'm the person who was mad that their DOA DVD did not have any deleted scenes. I know there are fighting scenes that weren't included in the final cut!

Peeta Mellark

Zuul invited me over, which I found terribly flattering. There were certainly no threats of blackmail or bodily harm. I am most definitely not currently tied to a chair with a gun pointed at my head. Any rumors to that end are vicious lies.

You can call me Peeta. I'm a college sophomore and cursed with enough self-awareness to know that I am more mature than most of my peers and also an arrogant asshole. However, beneath this thin veneer of contempt directed towards anyone and everyone I am a big sentimental marshmallow and prone to sniffling over commercials.

I can generally be induced into epic annoyance by the misuse of science to support one's personal biases, cruelty to animals, and those who find cake superior to pie. I can be enticed to ramble excitedly on at great length by discussions of evolution, lame jokes, and inappropriately personal questions. My hobbies include building houses with Lincoln Logs, collecting moss and fantasizing about what I'd do if I was a billionaire mad scientist.

Hi.
21 Sep 2010 11:40 AM
Orual

Hi Peeta. Lincoln Logs are pretty awesome. I loved building huge log mansions with wonky roofs.

Hopefully you'll like it enough here that when you are a mad scientist, you'll warn us before unleashing your hordes of radioactive, flesh-eating revenants. I'll need a week or two to prepare.

There is more variability with cake. Pie is like pizza. Even bad pie is usually ok. Bad cake is awful but good cake beats great pie any time.

I think there needs to be CAKE PIE and combine the best of both worlds. It would basically be like, cake, some ganache or butter cream, topped with fresh fruits and in a delightful crust!
