Great to see you here! I gather you're an Eagle! Tell us about yourself!

Pull up a chair and spill all about yourself, BirdLover. How did you come to Gatchaman (or one of it's variants...)

Welcome! Don't be shy, tell us something about yourself or just drop in for a casual coffee!

Birdlover! I'm glad you have joined us!

Good to have you here!

Hello all! Thank you for the welcome! I have been enjoying myself lurking through the threads and discovering some beautiful artwork and lots of new sites I would never have found on my own.

Nice to meet you, Birdlover!

Welcome to the gang

Hello!

Well, I have been enjoying myself working my way through the forum. I have also been trying to figure out what is what and who is who and where I fit into all this. I can't believe I never knew this place existed before a few weeks ago, and how quickly I have become sucked in. Perhaps once I get a good feel for this place I will start posting more. As it is I am really enjoying that "silly game thread" TJ started. It is telling me a lot about people here.

Yes, this place sure can be addictive. I've gotten pulled into the "Silly Game" again. It is fun to see how people think. Have fun, and I'll see you around.

That is exactly what I am finding. I am getting to know more about people by playing that game than I think I would by talking to them. Of course I should be careful since some of those thoughts could be misconstrued.

LOL... and here I just thought it was a silly game! I have to admit, I'm amazed how popular it is. But I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, Birdlover!

It might be silly, but it certainly reveals a persons thoughts, and what era they grew up in.

It's awesome how just one word can trigger so many different associations according to different persons! And then there are those words which people like me could learn having just read them for the first time! It's becoming more of an educational thread than a silly one for me!! Birdlover, I think the same thing has happened to all of us around when we first signed in this site! Time just flies when you're enjoying yourself and this is an easy place where to get acquainted! I hope we'll hear more from you!

I believe you're talking about me, the 80s Queen.... and I'm not the only one here!

Gathamarie - I am sure you will, now that I am slowly learning the dynamics of this site, I am starting to learn who I can make connections with and not feel like I am listening into "private" conversations. I know conversations can not really be private on a public board, but it is like walking into a room full of people at a party - there are so many conversations being carried on and it really does not feel right to just jump in and interrupt one that has already been started.

I know the feeling, especially when I enter the site and find all the conversations ripe being in a very different time zone!! But, it's always nice to hear different opinions on a subject so, please, do not hesitate to add your comments!! They'll surely be appreciated!

You're always welcome to jump in anytime...don't feel like you're interrupting...we enjoy newcomers!

Thank you for the offer Springie. We will see what happens and where I can "drop in" a comment.

No, I think there are a bunch of us that went from BotP to New Wave and Hair bands. Damn, I think we were smarter when we were 8 than when we were 15.

People are certainly more innocent and more believing of what they see when they are 8 rather than 15. Sorry I missed this post the first time TJ, you and others made references from the 80's but I also saw some from other decades as well. (or maybe that was in another thread.) Something about the 60's and 70's and a few references I could relate to from the 90's.

Oh, um, Birdlover, if you are using our posts to date us, that will only work to a point. We've got a few history buffs here, and a few literature geeks, too. I'd be willing to be that a fair few of us could probably pull of a range of decades from both within our lifetimes and without with little to no effort. Many of us are also very good at sounding international or multicultural, too.

No I was not trying to discover your ages through your posts, what I was finding interesting was the decade connections that WERE coming up and who was connecting to them.

Oooh, now I can try and through you! I'm not good enough to pull off Victorian era, but I can probably get anything from the Great Depression on up.

Drop away!

I think you will find I am.

...we enjoy newcomers!

... with barbeque sauce.

Oooooh, Remind me to stay away from Lyon. Nice to meet you, I think.

rawr! /grin

I would roar back but I think I would sound more like a kittens mew. Maybe once I feel more confident around here I will have a more mighty roar.
