Hey! Do you guys (fluther) feel like you were in a nice, quiet, calm pool--and suddenly all these people strange, nekid people are doing cannon balls in it?
Sorry ‘bout that!! I kind of wish something like that had happened on wis.dm at some point. May be somewhat frustrating, but also socially interesting.

Actually I’m having a pretty good swim.
YAY!! :) It’s been a bit rough for us too, but interesting! Like…surfing when you never have before. I’m in Kansas so….well, wait…I HAVE surfed, but on a card board box down a weed covered hill….and it hurt when I fell. My kids made me do it.
Ha! It was never quiet & calm in here, but I love your analogy nonetheless! It’s great having some of you here, for exactly the reason you mentioned – it’s interesting to have new insights & views to share.
No because the pool was already filled with wild, partying, splashing neekid flutherites.
We like to do cannon balls too!
Spiced things up, for sure :)
Ah, it’s good to get shaken out of your complacency every now and then, right?
Tranquility is overrated.
Were we tranquil, Harp? :)
I think it’s great…I was a bit surprised with the amount of questions from newbies, but that’s just because it was alot of questions from newbies that I didn’t know anything about, it takes time to get to know someone and now there are alot of new someones. :) Sometimes we can get a bit flat, so fluffing the pillows is a good thing. We’re glad you’re sticking around and giving us a chance!
DutchCat, several of the users here have been or have officially come over from another social site, Askville.
It’s different here. All change takes a bit getting used to. I’ve made some nice connections here and hope you will, too!
We were quiet? Tranquil? Us??? No way! You just caught us all taking a big collective breath. Back to the party, now! Welcome!
Just don’t pee in the pool! Nahh, I’m just kidding. Let ‘er rip.
No, no, come on in the water is fine and the party is in full swing. I like the music you guys brought. Who wants a beer?
This thread is making me miss summer something fierce. Can I get a corona with lime?
Oh, and don’t sit on the pool drain.
@miasmom—yeah…on wis.dm sometimes people would change accounts, but even if you didn’t know it you could spot them instantly…there’s a difference between the questions a REAL newbie asks, and the questions someone who is familiar, at least generally, with this kind of thing…
@DutchCat We’ve got our own version of that here.
@3or4monsters Will you ever get a Summer there? If not, come visit me and I’ll have the corona waiting for you.
Nice quiet pool on occasion with moments of turbulence, it will be again soon. May have to categorize questions though so we can sort quicker.
We’ve had our moments, I like a good stimulative debate on hot button issues.
Welcome all, enjoy. A great bunch now greater.
Somebody help me! I don’t have Pnl on my fluther list yet…and I need to send her a pm…how do I find her??
@DutchCat If you go to the search window (upper right of this page) and enter any username, it will find them for you.
Oooooo – what’s that in the bottom of the pool?
<grabs the pennies> Got ‘em!
@jonsblond you said, “Who’s ready for a belly flop contest?”....But…but…a couple of our people are PREGNANT!!!
@DutchCat You can als go to my profile, PNL is part of my fluther! :)
Look at you all having a pool party. =]
I am sitting on the edge dangling my feet and doing a cannonball myself now and then. I am really enjoying the pool party! Now excuse while I head over to the swim up bar for a nice margarita…
If anyone does a belly flop, send them over to me at the First Aid stand. ;-]
<—- Joining supermouse at the bar before next cannonball.
It’s rather wet around here, isn’t it!
Dutchcats do not like water?
Dogs do. Grin
@Dog… Well, I’m up in a tree sticking my tongue out at you!!
This pool is huge and there is room enough for everybody. Please, before engaging in a cannonball maneuver though, look out for me and don’t jump on my head. And a warm welcome to all of you new cannonballers. =)
@Harp: ... Guts by Chuck Palahniuk?
Wow! So many in the pool and no one has peed in it yet!! That’s a good sign!!
Wait a minute, who did this?
@Bluefreedom Thank you for the welcome!—Um, sorry about your head. It was kind of crazy there for a bit…. :(
@DutchCat. You’re welcome. The head is now healed also. =)
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahoooooooooooooooooooooo! (Splash!)
@JellyB Come on in, the water’s fine, bell.
@Zen Oh alright…... WEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
The fluthbot wrote that i have a certain, je ne sais quoi. I’m blushing. Watch out, cannonball aiiiiiiiiyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee splasheroonee
@Zen Why that bot, it gave me the same line!! Hmph!
Hey now! You just splashed water all over my snacks!
Watcha eating? Chocolate from Vietnam?
@Zen Actually, it was fries with BBQ sauce. ;)
It’s the next day already, how many fries were there in your mouth, sheesh!
;-) Muah.
@Zen LOL! Hey, i was hungry. And after the fries came the pizza. And then the chocolate cake. ;)
Always chocolate – I knew it!
strange nekkid people—heh-heh
Hey, the more, the merrier. It has always been swim suit optional and the beer flows endlessly here….you guys will fit right in. Another sixer and I’ll do my famous cannonball with wheelchair from the high dive! I’ll show you who is fuckin’ crazy! See ya….wtf
