... I stumbled upon this homely Apple rumor site. I was a stranger, another "new member" with my post count sitting at 0. I think the first thing I posted was in the mockups sticky, definitely speculations and rumors. I was scared of that Apple Outsider place, people like Windswept and Murbot patrolled that area. I lived humbly, earning rep points every now and then, mostly trying to figure this place out.
Now I am a year old, with 1300 posts and some nice rep, so I'd like to thanks everyone who has made me feel at home. I won't give you a list of names, because there are too many of you guys. I hope I have been a positive addition to this community, and thank you all again! |

Homely? Fuck off! Or do you mean comely?

Homely:
1 (of a person) unattractive in appearance. 2 Brit. (of a place or surroundings) simple but cozy and comfortable, as in one's own home : a modern hotel with a homely atmosphere. |

I think any web site would struggle to satisfy the criteria necessary to attract the description "homely", let alone "comely". "Comely" conjures up images of gingham dresses, large, bouncy breasts and ringlets.
One out of three is simply not enough to describe the place as "comely", I'm afraid billybob. |

Mmm, my breast meter is on high today... keep wandering into threads with 'em.
Though the word has been turned into a "street" term for people from your neighborhood, some people say "homey". Happy 1st Year with AppleNova. Damn, you know I've been with the whole AppleInsider/AppleNova thing since '98.... wow!! |

Gus Guys chill. It's Christmas spirit of goodwill to all men yada yada. So what if a rubber is a condom and an item to remove pencil marks. Can't we all just get along!
I used to be undecided.....But now I'm not so sure. No trees were harmed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. |

And... a 'bog roll' is *what*, exactly?
Who's "Gus"? Quote:
I harbor a particular fondness for the word "whilst". It's just so... quaint and charming. I *love it* that we have so many Brits at AN. How did that ever happen, I wonder? Hmm. |

Yeah, WLP, you're an all-around good guy. Glad you're here. I think one of the true marvels of messageboards is that a 16-year-old can participate fully in extended conversations with adults of various ages. In 'real' life, I don't think that would happen to the same degree, would it? On a side note, I have been *so* surprised from time to time when I have found that someone I considered rather curmudgeonly and surely at least in their late 30s (no offense to pscates and others ) turns out to be, like, 18 years old! Quite a shock, I can tell you. |

As for bog roll "read roll of toilet paper" As for up your ring I'll leave that one for someone else to explain. I used to be undecided.....But now I'm not so sure. No trees were harmed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. |

Oh. haha
The 'bog roll' I was imagining as a... well... a bog roll. You know, a piece of mud with some grass on top, cut out of an actual bog near a lake or marsh. Silly me. The opportunities for miscommunication between us seem endless. Kinda fun though, don'tcha think? |
