I got ahead of myself. I didn't read the help file carefully (I've read it twice now, as recommended.) I could give you a bunch of excuses explaining why I did so many posts so fast, but I hate making excuses for myself. So lets just leave it at the fact that I was wrong to post so many quarter-baked ideas at such a high rate. This is a noob's realization of his status as such. All my [m-f-d] posts pretty much deserve it, and I'm not contesting any of them in the least.
All in all, I think I'll wait a bit before I hit 'new' again.
(Note: Yes, I read the part where it said to avoid posting in the Halfbakery catagory. I realize that this is a violation of that suggestion, but I felt like I had to say something to put my anti-fans and I on level ground.)-- notmarkflynn, Dec 20 2005 Khrelnik's Halfbakery Newbie Idea Posting Rules http://krelnik.home...g.com/half_faq.htmlThe title is long enough to serve as a description, rendering this sentance useless. [notmarkflynn, Dec 20 2005] applause! welcome nmf. no worries, this is mostly a fun place...
where does it say - avoid posting in the Halfbakery catagory?-- po, Dec 20 2005 Nice choice of categories - I hadn't seen this one before.-- normzone, Dec 20 2005 Hooray!
Take a breather, wait a while, and think your ideas through. Then post the good and/or funny ones.-- DesertFox, Dec 20 2005 It doesn't say it in the Help file, it says it in Krhelnik's FAQ. Sounded like solid reasoning, but rules are meant to be ignored conveniently.-- notmarkflynn, Dec 20 2005 I still think everything I say, do, and write is hilarious. That's just scientific. Can't argue with science.-- notmarkflynn, Dec 20 2005 That link leads ,to the U.S. Postal Service. Why?-- DesertFox, Dec 20 2005 Heh, some people never have this realization. Sorry about the MFD’s -nothing personal - just steering you towards the help file. Welcome, and [+]. Please keep this one around.-- Shz, Dec 20 2005 I don't know why, but maybe you should read up on the men and women who assist you daily.
And, uh, I'll look at the link.-- notmarkflynn, Dec 20 2005 :) Nicely done.-- Zuzu, Dec 20 2005 Okay, I figured out why the post office stole my link. I'm using a public terminal in a music library, so that's what the person before me had copyed and pasted.
Since I'm used to my friend's Mac laptop, I hit Alt instead of Ctrl to copy, since that's where the Apple Button is on a Mac. This resulted in me copying nothing and pasting something else.-- notmarkflynn, Dec 20 2005 Well, you screwed up.
Welcome, and good luck. Venomous Puffins have been spotted in the area, we don't want any more "incidents" like we had last year.-- AfroAssault, Dec 21 2005 Oh dear.-- bristolz, Dec 21 2005 Since when did this place have rules?-- The Acrimonious Obfuscator, Dec 21 2005 Good for you [nmf]! Nice category choice, too. The HB _is_ fun to be around, honest. The few ideas of yours I read weren't well received, but you did defend them with restraint and humour, which is not something you can say for everyone! I'm sure you'll be a welcome addition to our happy band.
Good luck!
Hey [IT] - does this mean we'll be going through a period where our ideas are required to be extremely protracted? <goes away cackling>-- moomintroll, Dec 21 2005 [nmf] Ha ha, this idea has buns! which ruins your impressive line of fishbones.....-- Minimal, Dec 21 2005 Welcome to the club, nmf. That's enough hand-wringing though. On with the 'baking!-- DrBob, Dec 21 2005 Your profile page looks hilarious! Doubtless the bones will be watered down by more buns in time. Welcome.-- wagster, Dec 21 2005 Judging by all the fishbones you have gotten for previous ideas, I'm worried that you are going to challenge me for my title, which is, ahhh.... ummmm...-- pathetic, Dec 21 2005 i remember when i was that young..with balls like watermelons. nostalgic. good on you [nmf].-- rainbow, Dec 21 2005 I didn't know watermelons had balls. They must be very small.-- Shz, Dec 21 2005 Welcome (not)markflynn. It's nice to see someone being nice. You remind me of how I felt when I was new and anxious.-- blissmiss, Dec 21 2005 what [Unabubba] said.-- neilp, Dec 22 2005 ? //what [Unabubba] said.//
I can't find an anno by UB anywhere on this post.-- DesertFox, Dec 22 2005 What the crap is a Venemous Puffin, and where is its weak point? It sounds like I'll need an artifact to kill it.-- notmarkflynn, Dec 22 2005 This is kind of embarassing. You guys only like my ideas when they end up in me admitting I'm wrong. Or maybe I'm wrong about that...-- notmarkflynn, Dec 22 2005 Wow, what an excellent anno.-- blissmiss, Dec 22 2005 [blissmiss], do you not like to invent? Your profile screen only has a nice quote.-- notmarkflynn, Dec 22 2005 actually one of the most inventive people here...-- po, Dec 22 2005 [DrBob] was right. Onwards!-- moomintroll, Dec 22 2005 [nmf] I think she likes to delete as much as she likes to invent. Very tao.-- Worldgineer, Dec 22 2005 Like Shiva.-- notmarkflynn, Dec 22 2005 random, halfbakery
