A Newbie Says Hello

[InBanana Jones]

I'm new to the Raven Forum, but certainly not new to the world of Indiana Jones! I'm what you'd call a "First Generation" fan. I was 10 when the movie opened in 1981 and have nothing but great memories of the Indy films. Raiders of the Lost Ark was one heck of a "snack" for all us "Star Wars" fans in-between TESB and ROTJ. The great toys, Marvel comics, Topps trading cards and the soundtrack (my #1 most-anticipated gift during X-Mas '81) were fine "artifacts" that I've held onto for nearly 25 years now. Most kids of the so-called "Gen-X'ers" lived Indy! We wanted bullwhips for gifts, we wanted a fedora and leather jacket, we always said we'd jump on trucks and knock the driver out of it, we were simply mad with Indy and the thrill of adventure! I'm very glad to see that people who weren't even born when ROTLA opened are die-hard fans! It's kind of like my friends and I, who were huge Steve McQueen fans, even though his best films were made before we could really appreciate them! Anyhow, let this be a big "Hello" to all of you out here at the bar and I really look forward to sharing your thoughts on all things Indy...

[Indy_(heheheh)]

hello,and welcome, inbanana.

...the floors on fire...a-and the chair.

[Strider]

Hi InBannana! Im new here two.

[Webley]

Hi InBanana and Strider welcome to the bar. Tell me are you two fans of Short Round?

[Tennessee R]

Hello, InBanana, and Strider. And as 00Kevin says:
"Welcome to the Raven, Where paths cross" (C) 00Kevin

I like your location InBanana (on your profile) "Barnett College"

Although I've been reading the posts at this site regularly, I just registered in Jan.

[Strider]

Short Round is awsome but Indy is still my favorate.

[Webley]

Its always nice to meet a Short Round fan, believe it or not some of the bar flys in hear think Mr. Round sucks.

[Strider]

Blast them!

[Tennessee R]

Can you remember their names, Webley? :) No...I don't want to start a fight between you and others. :)
I like Short Round. I mean, I like a lot of others too, but I ceartainly have nothing bad to say about Mr. Round.

[Strider]

Yeah, Short Round was a real sorce of humor in the otherwise very dark Temple of Doom.

Welcome to the Raven, Where Paths Cross

[MP3]

Welcome, Banana Man and Runner! ;)


No offense/insult intended; my newest self-appointed, [un]official job around here is to assign comical nicknames to everyone, like "Double-Oh!" (00Kevin) and "The Grand Canyon" (Canyon).


Disclaimer: Your nickname is subject to change without notice - although if does change, you'll find out soon enough, anyway. ;)

[Tennessee R]

Yes, and MP3, what is your nickname:
Music Man? (One of my favorite musicals by the way) ;)

oh, and I like my nickname. I understand it fully now, its just, you need to call it out phonetically:
Whatever Arkansaww. ;)
for us that have a southern accent ;)

[MP3]

That's one of the good things about being me - I'm exempt from coming up with a comical nickname for myself. ;) You can call me whatever you want, though - I'm not too picky. ;)

And yes - Tennes saw whatever it was that his friend Arkin saw. :D:D:D

[Canyon]

Welcome InBanana Jones and Strider! :D

I have also been an Indy fan for many years, and was eight when Raiders came out. Although I did not see it in the cinema at the time (my parents probably thought that it wasn't suitable for girls) :( Indy always stayed with me and I officially became an Indy fan when I saw Last Crusade in the cinema in 89' and have been a huge Indy fan ever since. Last year I got to see the trilogy on a big screen and seeing Raiders up there on a giant screen is amazing.

Welcome once again.

<small>"The Grand Canyon, voted friendliest Ravener, kinda got a nice ring to it." - If you've played Emperor's Tomb, you'll get that. ;)</small>

[TommyJohnson]

Hello and welcome to the bar!
Are you selling these fine leather jackets?

[intergamer]

Excuse me, I believe its pronounced ark-kansas

just like arcsin is pronounced arc-sin. Just say ark, then say kansas. None of this "saw" nonsense, you tool (no pun intended).

[Strider]

Thank you for welcoming me.

And Strider, you're welcome (no pun intended). ;)

Excuse me, but what's the big idea of giving me the name of a disease for a nickname? :rolleyes:

[00Kevin]

"Kevin, you're Such a disease!"

Home alone



er uh.....
It's the name of a Disease, it's a TYPE of disease ;)

[MP3]

And how is that any better? :confused:

[Kate]

Hi there Inbanana! Did you get your name from the "MAD" magazine takeoff of "Temple of Doom?"

Yeah, I'm new too. Just joined today. Can I have a nickname too? (yes I know Kate is boring name...)

Hi Kate! I got my user name from the April 1982 MAD magazine parody of Raiders. That issue was all the rage with my buddies and I during 5th grade!

I DO like Short Round! It turns out that Jonathan Ke Quan is a mere 2 days older than me. He was born 8/20/71 and I was born 8/22/71 (but then you probably figured that out when I wrote that he was 2 days older than me)

[grumpus]

howdy InBanana im sure youll have a jolly good time here

[00Kevin]

dude! we've had several great raveners new TODAY!


The 2004 Wave has begun, and by the looks of it, it may be one of the best waves of raveners ever!

[grumpus]

o yes it has begun and it is good o so good i hope it never ends, i just feel so much better now

[00Kevin]

good times.

well, most everyone is asleep now.

[Kate]

[Strider]

[Kate]

Strider my old friend! You have returned!

[grumpus]

00Kev, many a nights I've sat waiting for the right time to show myself, but alas now that day has come, and it shall never end hehe yes im here to stay and you will BOW DOWN BEFORE ME!!!

[Strider]

I always return.

[MP3]

Y'know something, I think one of the mods should check the "logged" IP addresses of some of these people. I have a funny feeling that one person has multiple identities...

[Aaron H]

Thanks for the suggestion...will do.

[Indyologist]

Hi Inbanana! Welcome to the Raven, where uh... you fill in the blank as far as what you'd like to experience at the Raven. Have a drink on us and watch for stray bullets...
