Newbie to Groupie in about a month and a half!

Arguing with anonymous strangers on the internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be or seem to be self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free
time.

Hey, welcome! A Stephen Donaldson fan, how great is that? I must admit I haven't read anything by him yet, but I'm planning to write a doctoral thesis on high fantasy, and from what I've heard Thomas Covenant is a must in that genre... maybe you'll be able to help me out if I have any questions regarding the series.

As much as Gdub's filled you in, you should be in need of a sphincter replacement.

 

 

 

 

 

BTW Reerrrrr, er, Tony. Stop changing your lipstick... my sw***tz is beginning to look like a rainbow.

 

 

Welcome aboard, Grimbo... Don't feed the trolls.

No, I came up with it as a username for the very first forum I joined, kevinswatch.com, a message board for my favorite sci-fi / fantasy author, Stephen R. Donaldson. The Grim was an evil, magic storm that rained a black ash on its victims that burned like acid when the flakes landed. I just thought Grimm suited me, and it was related to the best-known story of SR Donaldson so I added an 'm' and used it. After joining a few more forums I decided it would be best to keep the same alias & avatar for all of them.

Are you sorry you asked?

Ah, your welcomes are most appreciated, even from Snow Dog, with whom I seem to have gotten on the wrong side of already. I have no brothers, so you must be mistaken.
