Hello newbies...

[ChristopherMaxwell]

And I'm American....TRUE North American, not the imported kind.

Ah, the indigenous sort. I see. Neat.

Not sure how "neat" it is, but yes, the indigenous sort.

I prefer a government that isn't either a racist regime or a Marxist-Leninist tyranny. I use Rhodesia as a way of signaling that I am unreconciled to Mugabe and shall remain so. He betrayed every promise that he made to the people. This is my own witty protest against his criminal regime. Too bad Murozewa lost.

Ah. Thank you for the explanation. Brace yourself: I'm sure it's not the last time you'll have to post it.

Of course he didn't read it. He's a guy.

I'm a guy, and I read it. All of it.
And I italicized a Lot of words that didn't Need it.

Me, too.

Well, about a quarter or so, if family lore and appearance is to be believed.

Which tribe?

Not really sure, probably little bits of every tribe who was in southeastern Iowa in the mid 1800s. My grandmother took me to a statue in a park of Chief Blackfoot and said I was related to him, but I don't recall if that was his name or tribe. She's dead now and the only one who really knew. I do remember that the "Indian" relatives mentioned were all males, which I thought was rather unusual.

Now I'm embarrassed that I don't know. I really should.

If you're a quarter, then that's enough to qualify you for membership in most tribes. Might be worth looking into.

Blood quantum says I'm only a quarter (could be more, who knows?), but I'm still considered Choctaw.

I don't think it's any particular tribe. My family moved around quite a bit and gathered members as they went.

Not if you don't want to be turned into a frog.

or something worse.

Oh, fuck the frog, baby.

We destroy testicles.

Ahem.

Know what'd be worse than being turned into a frog?

Being turned into a frog while retaining your human testicles in the original proportions. Just the balls.

Yes, same here, only about 1/8 in my case. Mostly Cato, but some La Kota might have gotten into the mix, I'm not sure.

My niece is 1/2 Navajo.

Gawd. I'm not even a dude and that still makes me squinch my legs together in pain.
(It's the hopping that does it.)

BWAH!

OK, call me evil, but the thought of a little frog hopping with giant gonads made me laugh out loud.

Scared the cat.

Well, I've read about the differences between this board and the GB. I didn't believe them, until now.

I am not certain if this thread was indicative of The Author's Hangout.

Believe me. After what I've seen on the GB, I doubt that you have cause for shame.

Thanks, CM.

Quick, quote some esoteric 14th century Moldavian poet to earn back our street cred.

Can't I quote Anais Nin instead?



The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.

Much better. We can all rest a little easier on our writer-y laurels now.

Wait, wait - I found something that might suffice.

Limericks by Edward Lear

Limerick
There was an Old Man of Moldavia,
Who had the most curious behaviour;
For while he was able,
He slept on a table.
That funny Old Man of Moldavia.

That's how you can tell you're a real author. A limerick for every occasion.
