Hello from The Nebraskan!

Should fit in here nicely.


Uh... I take that back.

Good luck with your stay... however long it turns out to be...

Oh, and we always give the "newbies" a welcome gift... a sort of "thank you for being a Bruce fan" type thing....
(just in case)

Well, I don't need anyone to tell me this was sarcasm like I did on the other poster.

Thanks for those links though. I don't know a lot of Bruce sites yet.

are you certain you don't need a "us" at the end of your screen name?

It was tounge in cheek dude(or "dudette???) from Cal-if-orin-i-a. If you wanna play here, you will have to put up with a lot worse, trust me. Even the women here have balls.

I thought I was actually pretty nice, and helpful, in my post. I was the only one who replied... you GOTTA give me points for that at least. C'mon... don't be mad. Friends?

And...I KNOW you will like the links I provided to you. Judging by your post. Really. No sarcasim. Seriously.

Personally, I think it would be cool if you stuck around for a bit, and posted regular and stuff. Might be interesting. (No, that wasn't sarcasim...sigh.). You might fit in to the "coffee club thread" at first, but maybe... and I'm just spit-ballin' here... just maybe you might adapt and grow a thicker skin, and have something real interesting to post. And maybe, I will read it too! (Ok. That was a "little" sarcastic).


SPL Tip #0342: "Sarcasim": Learn it. Use it. Live it. Breath it. Accept it. Otherwise, you will never know when everyone is laughing at you instead of with you.

Seriously, welcome.

I'm not mad at all. We grow thick skin in Nebraska. I do live in California now and I have for about nine years but my heart is always in Nebraska. That's where I'll retire to.

Anyway, friends is fine.

Oh that coffee club post says it's for Europeans so I don't quite get your joke this time.

Have you met Buddhabone?

Priceless.

Well, everyone here seems to just want to make fun of me but what the hey, I can play along. Maybe I'm new to the internet but what is everyone on the internet except regular people and I am by no sight new to people! One thing I know is anywhere you go in life when you're the new guy you get the poop.

I will say I don't get the humor here yet. I spelled sarcasm right so I don't get Ev's joke and I don't know why I'd want an "us" on my name either. Don't know Buddabone either.

The reference to "us" was regarding our new member "Comicus" over in the I'M Goin Down Thread. If you want to understand that you would need to use the search function, Acosta would be a good key word and read the many amusing threads during the era of the Great Schism. Here is one of them:

Or you could forget all the BS and just hang out, post a little. Flaming is relatively tame.

Speak for yourself.

Correction. Flaming is tame for all those to the left of the political spectrum.

Julius, as the lone conservative gets flamed mercilessly.

That's a lot to read and I have to be honest to say that I don't really get it.

It wasn't a reply to you, I quoted Gerk. And I thought the "us" joke was something involving "anus" but I don't suppose most people here are as juvenile as I am.

Speak for yourself.

Hey, some bootlegs I downloaded say Ev2 version. Is that you?

That's a good thing. Not worth understanding.

Holy crap I just figured this out ...
I think you are Bruce Springsteen himself. He is challenged as far as the internet is concerned, but why make up the bullshit farm story?

Truly ... you are overplaying the kid in a candy story view of the interweb..

Yep. That's the legend himself. You shoud feel honored he posted in your thread. Usually he's too drunk to find the keyboard (hasn't affected his hearing yet though, thank God).

As for your comment about "being the poop of the internet" or something like that. Hey, we all had to pay our dues. That "quante" dude was refered to (and it still cracks me up) as "qunte" (if you don't get it, say it out-loud phenetically). Don't thin you are being targeted or anything, it's not personal. That's the beauty of boards. It can't be personal as no-one knows anyone, really. Unless they met up at an SPL tailgate at a show or something.

The reason you are getting so much attention is because, well, mainly we were all bored. Hell, I was posting about my lovelife falling apart. How sad is that?

So, remember... it's JUST a message board. REAL people are the ones you see every day. We are not an accurate representation of people here. Or so, I have found. And the sooner you realise this, the sooner you will flame right back at any asshole that gets under your skin. Hang tough buddy.

My farm story isn't bullshit, Mars. It's true. As far as acting like a kid in a candy store, sorry, I'm just enthused about this, that's all. Did YOU really grow up on a farm? Or was that more sarcasm?

welcome to another Husker, stick around awhile and you'll fit in soon enough

My family had a farm, and I lived there. I have never grown up.

Haha, actually I was a little drunk at the time I wrote on this thread, otherwise I wouldn't have even replied

And my hearing is affected (but thanks to army, not drinking), I have very little hearing in my right ear nowadays. Don't tell anyone.

I was wondering when HuskerMike would show up. If we accept the Euro's, our good friends from Nebraska should be welcome with open arms.

Move the Husker love and cobb shucking over to the Official SPL College Football thread.

Welcome Nebraskan. You'll have to hang around here for awhile to get to know the people and their humor. Of course, being a newbie, you will be targeted for many jokes. It happened to me (and still does) and it will happen to you. Of course, it will take you longer to understand the jokes and sarcasm coming from our friends "across the pond". It's a good group, small in numbers, but you will find a lot of important information and not so important information here. Check out all the forums here. You will find great information on anything Bruce in Gereral and the other forums having to do with Bruce's work. Enjoy your stay here.

Well, considering the state of Husker football, HuskerMike was bound to show up sooner or later.

Hi Huskermike! Another Nebraskan here, huh? Crete? Wow. No kidding!! Then you know where Auburn is for sure. I grew up near there but I always tell people Lincoln cos no one in the world knows where Auburn is. Well, unless you're from Nebraska or west Iowa.

I know Nebraska, used to live in Colorado and drove I-80 many of times so I know the hell you speak of.

I miss it. It's Heaven to me.

What is a heavenly meal for y'all?

A glass of corn syrup to wash down the corn chips, creamed corn soup, corn beef hash, and corn bread.
