Ok, after much persuasion and beatings by Bok, Dyany, cocobeem, and Polly (did you have to use that stick, Polly???), I've decided to add humor, grace, beauty, and humble attitude to this forum.
I, beefche (pronounced beef-che--e as in egg), from the Land of Nauvoo, do hereby state that I will cause much laughter, snorting, spewing of spit, perhaps a little cursing (just the hecks, flips, and dangits), and little thinking. I have that affect on people.
So what do you want to know? What brand of toothpaste I use? The color of the banners used by the Rhohirrim used in LOTR? Why does the rain fall from up above? Why do fools fall in love? Why am I quoting silly songs?
That's my cheesy smile....

So, Beefche what brand of toothpaste DO you use? And, why do you quote silly loves songs? I don't know why, but it doesn't surprise me that you are already friends with all the ladies you just mentioned. (That's everyone else's cheesy smile around here too). Nice ta meet ya!
Umm, Gleem, white horse on green field, because if it was pushed up from below it would be artesian and not rain, to confound the wise, and because you can.
Did I get them all right? Do I get a prize?

I'd love a good D&D campaign. Failing that, I'm up for Settlers.

From everything I've heard so far, I wouldn't want to touch D&D 4th edition with a 10 meter cattle prod.

Who said anything about 4th Edition? I'd be thrilled to do 3rd, since that's all I've ever played.

Point of protocol... in Bountiful we refer to pasture from whence thou hast been grazing as "the place across the river", thereby, heretoafter, henceforth, and forthwith avoiding calling down curses upon us all...

Did anyone ever watch a cartoon on Saturday mornings called Science Court? It was the best. But only DH and I can remember it, so maybe we imagined it. Anyway there was a really great cow hand puppet thing, that often played See You Later, Estimator with Tyrannosaurus Tex. Awesome.

I get the "Beef" part of your name, but why the "Che" part?
And is it pronounced like you might in Italian and say "Kay" - Beef-Kay or Beef-Keh
Or is it pronounced like you might in english and say "Cheh." - as in Beef-cheh... or beef-chay... and what does the che signify.
In italian "Che" is a common word meaning "that" like que in spanish... I believe...
Oh yeah, and welcome, welcome... for some reason I thought you'd been here for a while... and was just innactive... so it's great to have you here officially... :)

Hey Beef-Chay... (there's your answer, Ray). :wave:
Don't mind Catherder, our Stuffed-Shirt-in-Residence. The only people who refer to Nauvoo by another name are the ones who tend towards mocking tones when referring to that fair land. The rest of us can call the beautiful city by its rightful name.
Hi beefy! I've been here about four times now, and it's been lovely every time. I joined the forum and then quit turning on my computer. Nothing personal. Just an aversion to the on button that I get every so often.
Have you ever tried those fruity-flavored kid toothpastes? Heinous and awful stuff, that.
And the "che" part of her name means "dear" in Hungarian. Really.
I always thought "che" was either a cuban thug revolutionary or a way to spruce up the name of a restuarant. Like that place in Virginia I ate at near Cheriton called Stingrays but everyone called it Che Exxon because they also sold gas there.
Jason, the "che" used for restaurants is french and it's spelled chez and it means roughly "home of."

So it was Chez Exxon. I don't think the folks eating there could have spelled it either. So it must be Beefche is a bovine revolutionary. Put on the beret why don't ya!

Wait. Protocol in Bountiful states if I go to Nauvoo, I can't talk about what a great place Nauvoo is? And I can't talk about the wonderfulness of Nauvoo? Or the fun time I had in Nauvoo? Perhaps I could talk about the insight I gained while in Nauvoo? Nauvoo has some great fudge...can I relate that? I like all the free things you get when you visit Nauvoo, can I share that? Just trying to get some clarification on the rules of Bountiful when discussing Nauvoo.

Wow! I didn't know that. My last name is Bulgarian and means bully or commander. Hmmm, wonder what that says about my personality?
You didn't know that? I could have sworn you were the one who told me that. If I'm going to hallucinate, shouldn't it be about more interesting things than the meaning of 'che'? I'm so confused.
no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing... the truth of God will go forth till it has penetrated every website, sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the great Jehovah shall say the work is done

Oops, I thought you were telling me what "che" meant in Hungarian. In Bulgarian, "che" is a diminuitive showing endearment.

Which would you prefer? Because either would be beneficial if you could join the quartet Ray and I are putting together over in the saloon. The audience is rather, um, neanderthal, not to put to fine a point on it. And if you've got any of those French stockings with the seams up the back, you might as well wear them. We're gonna need all the help we can get

Well, uh, actually, I have a pair of those stockings in bright pink. I got them on my mission (seriously, it was a gift from one of my baptisms). So, I'll be over to distract those primitive souls...as long as they can contain themselves from my svelte bovine figure stuffed in pink thigh-hi stockings.

Bright pink thigh-hi french seam up the back stockings? Are you sure they weren't a gag gift?

Umm, unfortunately, no. Bulgarian women are very fashion conscious and she thought I needed some fashion in my wardrobe. I tried to talk mission pres into letting me and my comp wear these (she would have to get her own) and go contacting in the evening around all the cafe's for more priesthood. We needed priesthood and I saw a perfect way to attract more into the church. Imagine that prez said no to my suggestion.

BTW, the Russian word for "calf" (as in baby cow) is "tyolka". It also happens to be the slang word for a loose woman. So if you visit a Russian speaking country, I'd avoid beef references.

When my mom, sis, bil and I visited Russia back in '88 we were having dinner in this place and suddenly my mom calls out, "Skole pafiskin!!" (That's the phonetic spelling.) She thought - well, I don't know what she was thinking really - thought it was some kind of cheer or something. Anyway, the whole place went dead quiet and we just sat there for a moment. Heh.
