New members: introduce yourselves here

[The Dynasty]

New member here. Got here initially from Doug Benson, but have discovered a lot of great comics, and a lot of awesome Podcasts. Glad to join the community.

[DriftRoberts]

Been lurking for a long time. I'm an open miker in Peoria, IL. I'm eighteen and just placed second out of forty-five at my local club's annual competition. I hope to be a moderately-sized deal some day. Love the community here. Found a lot of great comedy because of it. Glad to join.

Hi new friends. I'm an open miker trying to make it through the DC/Baltimore comedy scene until I graduate and move to NY or LA. I hope to know you all personally!

Hello everyone,

I have posted before, but this is the first time in a while I have tried to go into the chat. I cannot find the chat anymore. Either there is no more chat or I am not computer illiterate. I prefer to think the chat has been disabled.

Is there no more chat?!?!?

If so, BOoOOOOO!!!!!

That is all. (John Hodgman's quote. Don't sue).

Oh i forgot about this, Hello I'm Jamey Suede from Melbourne Australia, I'm a drunk antagonistic sweetheart who will gently stab words in your thought hole. Phil Collins is really good too then, not now.

Hi there - name is Derek. Been lurking for awhile on the board, been listening to AST/offshoots for some time but still a bit overwhelmed with the depth of this place. Cheers!

[SeanX3]

Hello. Just joined the other day and am really enjoying the vibe here. White, male, Irish, NY; married, child, dog; designer, procrastinator, over-eater. And lately, at night, I've been rubbing tabasco on my balls as I work up the courage to try out some jokes at an open mic.

[MASep10]

Hey all, Yup, I am new to aspecialthing.com. Really finding the site interesting. Be back once I have a chance to look around some more.

Forgot to do this I guess! Hi, my name is Zilla. I am 29 and live on the west coast (USA). Been lurking on here for months but decided to join in the fun! Nice to "meet" you all.

What up bros and/or whores

I like masturbating and getting cooked.

[Litiot]

Hi! I'm litiot & i work in the saddness factory where i listen to music and podcasts. I love Maria Bamford, Bruce Willis screaming at Tom Scharpling, Little Gary introducing Ott Scockerman, Todd Glass explaining himself, Jesse Thorn's weird socks, Guided By Voices, Eddie Pepitone, GWF, Mark E Smith, PFT, Daily Show, .. stuff like that.

[Mike Brown]

Hello,

Put me down as another long time lurker who made the change. It all came from the annoying my friend about podcasts one too many times I guess.

[AnnE]

Greetings all.

I joined in June so maybe it's time that I introduced myself.

The capital E in my name is just to emphasize the silent but important E. It does matter.

I am a comedy fan. Stand-up, movies, television... stuff that makes me laugh.

I spend entirely too much time watching movies and TV.

I found this place through Doug Benson's DLM podcast. I joined after whining to my 19-year old son about not having anyone to talk to about podcasts. His advice:

Find an online forum. Join. Post. Don't be obnoxious. Initially, they will ignore you. Some might even give you shit about your posts. Stick around. If it's a good place, it'll be worth it.

Smart kid.

Hi everyone, Needless to say I also am new to aspecialthing.com. I am very please to have found this forum as I find the subject matter well worth spending my time on.

[cofeo]

Hi there, not really a comedian, just a lover of fine comedy. Felt it was about time I joined the AST community.
