I think 82 just "Seagulled" Gerg's Intro thread.

Gracious. Do you eat with the same hands you've used to type that? That has to be one of the most disgusting introductory salutations from one individual to another that I have ever encountered. Shame on you. I shall remember never to take a meal from your place of employment should I find myself once again in your fair city, which has forever been tainted for me by that remark.

Gerg (may I call you that?) - gerg, I hope you don't take this unspeakably offensive and filthy suggestion as representative in any fashion of the quality and caliber of personages which commonly frequent the board. I can't begin to apologize enough for such a travesty of decency to be visited upon a new member of our community. The outrage! - to think that such a low, hazing comment might seem appropriate in the context of a simple introduction is something that I hope would be simply repellant to the vast majority of the posters here, who, I know, attempt with the utmost grace to rise above such putrescent bawdiness and ascend to a more rarefied realm of discourse unsullied by such barbarous and unclean hooliganistic scrabble. It is simply reproachable and beyond my understanding. As well as very yucky, and icky and kind of smelly.

:lol2:

no worries, pretty thick skin here. I hear a lot worse from some of the curmudgeons I tend to associate with on a regular basis. It did actually make me laugh to be honest. Right before it made me sick, then made me hope deep inside that isn't actually happening in real life.

oh and gerg will do fine :)

Where I use urbandictionary, Barracuda uses the thesaurus.

(tell me you used the thesaurus for at least one of those words, Barracuda)

There's this guy I know who is always up on the latest Internet memes and one of his latest one's was laughing his ass off about seagulling and having to tell everybody about it. To him seagulling is apparently more like a flip of the hand and then he goes "Yahhh" like trying to get a horse to move and then he laughs his ass off. So, in deference to this sordid pal of mine, I repent by giving you one of his other "most hilarious things he's found on the web". Enjoy, if you ain't seen it yet. :yay

Nah, but I think I made up "hooliganistic". Never really heard anybody say that one before.

my wife walked in on me watching that and now has major questions. I'll have that refrain in my head all morning now, have to go listen to Black Sabbath to cleanse. Nice tight cheeks on that guy though :)

Welcome Gerg! I too lurked for a long, long time and then finally signed up. I never quite know what to expect at RI. For example, this morning I went from the monster thread, to learning about the term "seagull", to that Gunther video. My brain is now trying to furiously remap pathways to reroute around the decimated areas. Repair teams are on site but are having trouble assessing the scope of the damage.
