Hello everyone. :)

[Duke]

Well it would appear that juliensimons own personal little shadow has seemingly made his way here as well. For those of you who aren't familiar with me, I go by the username alter-ego but registered as Duke here as that's pretty much who I am everywhere.

How did you hear about us?
js dragged me here

What are your interests?
Being the best father I can be to my awesome, AWESOME, AWESOME 14 year old daughter.

How long have you been using the internet and forums?
I've been membering at forums in some capacity for approx. 12 years now. I usually only frequent a handful of forums and as such usually wear a staff tag of one degree or another. I've worn many hats such as mod, super mod, site admin, admin, news reporter, editor, editor 'n chief, and even adminned gaming servers both in the US and Europe.

Anything else you need to know, just ask

Thank you for taking part in this interview, Duke. We appreciate your time and effort and we look forward to getting to know you.
Enjoy the forums!
No problem at all :3smile:

[julien_simon]

Hey Duke,

I'm really glad you made it here!

Oh right, sorry then, thanks, Bri.

[Zap]

Welcome to here, Duke.

Pull up a chair and get comfortable. That's what BTW is aiming for. :)

[Brian]

Welcome to here, Duke.

Pull up a chair and get comfortable. That's what BTW is aiming for. :)

I heard through the grapevine that BTW was aiming to plan a coup d'état of Quebec!? Am I in the wrong place? That's why I joined :sqeek:

[iowadawg]

Are you into bungee jumping?

If not, how about boobie jumping?

[Sami4u]

Hi Duke,

Welcome. Nice to meet you.

This is a real nice place to just relax and goof off.

Hi Duke (I knew you as Alter-ego previously, can you guess who I am?), welcome to BTW, it is great to have you join us, we are planning to be merry so the more the better. :sqbiggrin:

[Cryren8972]

We are all staring at you waiting for you to say something funny.
Ready? Set! GO!

[Zap]

I heard through the grapevine that BTW was aiming to plan a coup d'état of Quebec!? Am I in the wrong place? That's why I joined :sqeek:

No. You're in the right place. :sqcool: :sqerr:

[Duke]

Wow, thanks for the overwhelming response.

I actually had little time last night to spend onsite as I've been working stupid hours at my dayjob and as such, only had time to create one topic and butcher another with two responses (that I think were moderated) and then succumb fully to my Nyquil geltabs.

Hi Duke (I knew you as Alter-ego previously, can you guess who I am?), welcome to BTW, it is great to have you join us, we are planning to be merry so the more the better. :sqbiggrin:
Just a shot in the dark, SITA :3smile:

[Strong]

Hey, how did you guess!?! :sqlaugh:

I love the avatar BTW!

[ewomack]

Julien's shadow has arrived? Wow... are you a balrog? We could use one here to deal with spammers... flame up and get ready to smack 'em...

And welcome...

[Muddy]

He's worse/better than any balrog! Great to see ya here Alt...I mean Duke! You know all those times we have to bite our tongues elsewhere? Not here! lol!

[Cryren8972]

What if you especially enjoy biting your tongue? Is that allowed?

[ewomack]

You can only bite the tongues of others. I think the rules state that pretty clearly.

[Cryren8972]

Oh...
well then can I ask someone to bite mine for me? That would be a new experience, kind of like using someone else's hand...

[Strong]

Did someone ask for help with something?

[Cryren8972]

Yes Strong, but I'm not sure how to go about asking...

[Brian]

The last time someone bit my tongue I bit back

[Cryren8972]

The last time someone bit my tongue I bit back

Promises, promises...

[Sami4u]

Hi,

Speaking of biting your tongue.

*I'm biting mine right now*

Sami

[Atom]

You can bite the tip of your tongue when your throat is so dry that you can't swallow and there's no liquid handy, just do it as hard as you can stand it for about 20 seconds or so and when you release it, saliva glands will start secreting and you'll have something to swallow. I learned that from when I used to shoot pharmaceutical speed, being cranked out makes your throat dry.

[Cryren8972]

I'll keep that in mind if I ever shoot speed.
Thanks Atom!
Once again, you're here to educate!

[Atom]

I'll keep that in mind if I ever shoot speed.
Thanks Atom!
Once again, you're here to educate!You do not need to shoot speed to have a dry throat.

[Cryren8972]

More words of wisdom..
do you have any more?

[Atom]

Seriously, Cry, that saliva trick is a good one to know, it really can be useful, I've used it many times when liquid wasn't handy for many dry throats that were caused by things other than speed. I was just saying that that is how I learned the trick.

[Atom]

The dry throat that occurs from being cranked out is rather extreme.

[Atom]

I somehow get the feeling that you are not happy with me because I've not gotten back to you in PM, but I intend to. I'm just very slow sometimes, Cry.

[Cryren8972]

Atom, I'm not being mean, am I?
I was kidding around with you....
I have better ways to moisten my throat. Water is my first choice. However, if I ever find myself in the position to have an extremely parched throat and no water, your trick will prove useful.

[Cryren8972]

I'm always happy with you! =)

[Atom]

However, if I ever find myself in the position to have an extremely parched throat and no water, your trick will prove useful.What do you mean you have better ways to moisten your throat? I clearly said that this was for those times when you don't have liquid available, and yes, I do think that you are being mean, I just am not sure why and all I can think of is that it's because I didn't get back to you in PM, but you must remember my phobia. Let's not forget about that. lol

[Atom]

I've still to think up the most accurate name for the phobia. The existing names are all so boring. I need an original name for mine. lol

[Cryren8972]

and yes, I do think that you are being mean, I just am not sure why

I didn't mean to be Atom. :sqembarrassed:

[Atom]

I didn't mean to be Atom. :sqembarrassed:Ok. Just cut it out then.

LOL

[Cryren8972]

Yes sir.
I would offer a hug, but you have that phobia thingy...

[Atom]

I suppose that I shouldn't even have mentioned how I learned that saliva trick, but it's the truth.

[Cryren8972]

It's a very good trick too Atom. I'm going to practice now...

[Atom]

Yes sir.
I would offer a hug, but you have that phobia thingy...Well I assure you that the phobia would suddenly disappear were it in person. ; )

[Atom]

It's a very good trick too Atom. I'm going to practice now...Yeah check it out, Cry, it really works well.

[Cryren8972]

Well I assure you that the phobia would suddenly disappear were it in person. ; )

But what if it didn't?
:sqembarrassed: < ~~~ that would then be you. Lol!

[Atom]

But what if it didn't?
:sqembarrassed: < ~~~ that would then be you. Lol!Well if it didn't then I suspect you'd have to be pretty grotesque looking. lol

[Atom]

BTW, that tongue biting trick is really handy for when you're riding in a vehicle, let's say, and your throat is dry but you need to swallow a couple of pills, Ibuprofen or whatever, but you have nothing to drink with you.

[julien_simon]

You can bite the tip of your tongue when your throat is so dry that you can't swallow and there's no liquid handy, just do it as hard as you can stand it for about 20 seconds or so and when you release it, saliva glands will start secreting and you'll have something to swallow. I learned that from when I used to shoot pharmaceutical speed, being cranked out makes your throat dry.

I just happened to have a dry mouth while reading this post.

It works. Nice trick Atom!

[ewomack]

I cannot confirm because I do not have a dry throat nor do I have any pharmaceutical speed. Sometimes nature doesn't answer your calls.

[Atom]

You don't need to have a dry throat to try it, doing it should just add more saliva than what's already there.

[Atom]

It's when the saliva turns red that you probably need to start thinking about backing off on the pressure a bit. lol

[ewomack]

Hmmm... let me get some napkins...

[Atom]

A lobster bib might be helpful if you have one handy.

[Muddy]

Hugaphobia?

[Muddy]

Oh, add "Spit Conjurer" to the title list!

[Atom]

Hugaphobia?Yes. I think I have that, I'm always embarrassed by hugging, even members of my bio family. Hugging isn't something I've engaged in as a rule, I usually avoid it at most all costs.

[Atom]

Oh, add "Spit Conjurer" to the title list!Yes that's right, and how many other SC's do you know? None right? There ya go. Do drugs, kids, you find cool stuff out.

[Atom]

Like I said I probably should not have even mentioned where I learned it.

[Atom]

Thank god doctors stopped prescribing that good pharma crank, now that was some addictive stuff. They stopped giving it out back in the 80's.

[Atom]

From what I understand, the crankers today do bathtub meth which is primarily the same thing.

[Atom]

Ah yes.. someone's intro thread, very good then..
welcome, Duke. lol
