Hoodlumman on October 19, 2006 at 10:17 AM

So you mean we are no longer teh kewl any more?

JasonG on October 19, 2006 at 10:21 AM

Apparently not.

mojo on October 19, 2006 at 10:23 AM

My only regret in registering early is that I missed the boat on the username “Olbgasm.”

World B. Free on October 19, 2006 at 10:24 AM

Welcome Newbs!! Don’t worry, we’ll be gentle.

BacaDog on October 19, 2006 at 10:25 AM

Welcome to the jungle. Heh.

dallas94 on October 19, 2006 at 10:30 AM

“Nuke the Moon” is okay though, right?

Pablo on October 19, 2006 at 10:33 AM

Heed the sign on the gate:

“Beware Of Deity”

infidel4life on October 19, 2006 at 10:36 AM

I question the timing.

EFG on October 19, 2006 at 10:37 AM

I hope we get more lefties to join. It’s sorta fun to watch them bounce off the walls …

Fogpig on October 19, 2006 at 10:40 AM

Play nice.

Ian on October 19, 2006 at 10:42 AM

I’m new to this whole blogging thing, so be gentle. I’ll try not to insult anyone, be politically correct, blah, blah, blah. Liberals suck.

MikeyB on October 19, 2006 at 10:42 AM

Noobie here….LOVE HA and MM!!!

Suzy-Q on October 19, 2006 at 10:42 AM

Don’t let too many in. I kind of liked our exclusive comment club.

Vincenzo on October 19, 2006 at 10:43 AM

I was wondering if it would ever be opened again. I tried waiting, but Allah asked for a Christian perspective on the Amish thread, which prompted me to write him an email.

Anyway, great group and welcome to any newcomers.

Esthier on October 19, 2006 at 10:43 AM

Noobie here…love HA and MM!!!

Suzy-Q on October 19, 2006 at 10:43 AM

Are you going to let Greenwald register all his puppets?

Mr. Bingley on October 19, 2006 at 10:43 AM

Hey, what discussion would be complete without having to scroll past actus, Lee, Mary Q, Mike, Gordon….

Excuse me, I’m going to be sick.

a4g on October 19, 2006 at 10:45 AM

This is the greatest day in my life! But it may turn into Caddyshack 2 when Jackie Mason turned the club into a public course.

Personally, this is one of my go-to sites. I get so anxious and stressed out by the MSM, and then I open HotAir, or the WSJ Editorial page, or Michelle…Calgon take me away!

budorob on October 19, 2006 at 10:45 AM

Thanks for the opportunity to join. Looking forward to lively debates. Love Hot Air and Michelle Malkin. She is my favorite commentator. Rick1

Rick1 on October 19, 2006 at 10:47 AM

Whoo hoo!! I’m in!!

suckas!!!!!!!!!

just kidding. I am a lurker, but it’s nice to be able to say something if I wanted to. Yelling at my computer screen was getting old.

newfiewife on October 19, 2006 at 10:47 AM

Are you going to let Greenwald register all his puppets?

You mean Mr. Ellers, right?

JasonG on October 19, 2006 at 10:48 AM

Remember, folks, don’t abuse the privilege by becoming Link Whores. —pjcomix (reformed Link Whore with minor relapses).

pjcomix on October 19, 2006 at 10:50 AM

Thanks.

steveegg on October 19, 2006 at 10:50 AM

Sweet! I’ve been waiting for this.

“I’d like to thank God, for without him none of this would be possible, my parents, my third grade teacher …”

matd on October 19, 2006 at 10:52 AM

Man, it is like lgf on a Sunday night around here.

Valiant on October 19, 2006 at 10:54 AM

Thanks, I’ve been looking forward to this day

ct256a on October 19, 2006 at 10:54 AM

Wow! You all finally let the peasants into the mansion. I’ve been waiting a long time to hang with the cool kids.

Trooper on October 19, 2006 at 10:57 AM

Yes!!!!!! Finally! Oh it’s on now! :o)

m on October 19, 2006 at 10:57 AM

Hmmm, a semi-open door policy. Do I get a copy of the daily Repub talking points now?

sunny on October 19, 2006 at 10:57 AM

Wow! I truly feel elite now. I can die a happy man.

Long time reader, 1st time poster

mordechaijefferson on October 19, 2006 at 10:58 AM

I question the timing.

Indeed!

SouthernGent on October 19, 2006 at 10:59 AM

Thanks to Matt Drudge for helping me find the site. Hey regs glad I can now be a part of the site

Dittohead on October 19, 2006 at 10:59 AM

Let’s party like it’s Andrew Jackson’s inauguration!

budorob on October 19, 2006 at 11:02 AM

Thanks for giving me my Christmas present early :)

rocked on October 19, 2006 at 11:02 AM

Ok, I’m in… now shut the door!!!!!

DarianCounts on October 19, 2006 at 11:03 AM

Hello HA and /graceful bow to MM!
Been a long time lurker, and have wanted a chime in a time or two, but you all usually have it covered anyway haha.
Glad to be here!

lowfibass on October 19, 2006 at 11:07 AM

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,

I missed the last registration and have been kicking myself ever since.

Michelle, if you’re listening, could you try talking O’Reilly into a long interview with Robert Spencer? Bill’s a decent enough interviewer, but he’s just as clueless as the Feds on the nature of the Islamic enemy we face. If he could be effectively educated, his audience could receive a simular (and much needed) education.

Thanks again.

P. James Moriarty on October 19, 2006 at 11:08 AM

Weeeeee thanks!

bj1126 on October 19, 2006 at 11:09 AM

The jungle can be a friendly place….Permission to come aboard.

serenity on October 19, 2006 at 11:10 AM

OK now, just so you know, all of you newbys are on double secret probation until you complete this initiation task……………

Go find out why Bethany hasn’t posted on RealVerse this week!

BacaDog on October 19, 2006 at 11:10 AM

Yeaaaah baby! Greetings from the land of Dixie!! Hmm.. So this is what it looks like in here.

AngryHank on October 19, 2006 at 11:12 AM

Thanks for letting us in.

Someone get me a beer, please?

chitown55 on October 19, 2006 at 11:13 AM

It’s About Time!

Really Dig Shire Network News too.

Thanks Michelle!

NeoConSnakePlissken on October 19, 2006 at 11:13 AM

Go find out why Bethany hasn’t posted on RealVerse this week!

I didn’t just register (though I’m probably still a noob here), but isn’t it because she’s sick and got the guy she was supposed to interview to fill in for her?

Esthier on October 19, 2006 at 11:17 AM

Alrighty, then! Hello from Arizona!

Shay on October 19, 2006 at 11:18 AM

Oh please Bacadog, she’s sick. Like I don’t refresh that site every 30 seconds until a new video is posted. Er, you know in between the important duties of my…life. yup.

sunny on October 19, 2006 at 11:18 AM

COOOOOOL Man!

Best thing I’ve done in Years.
So when do I find out the secret hand shake?

MusicMan on October 19, 2006 at 11:19 AM

It’s all good.

Brian on October 19, 2006 at 11:21 AM

didn’t just register (though I’m probably still a noob here), but isn’t it because she’s sick and got the guy she was supposed to interview to fill in for her?

That was the 10/9 vlog. Should be a new one this week. 10/17 update says new video in 24 hours.

Where is it? HELP!!

BacaDog on October 19, 2006 at 11:21 AM

Test – seal the borders now!

Shay on October 19, 2006 at 11:22 AM

yet another N00B. Can’t wait to start commenting…O where to start.

KineticJustice on October 19, 2006 at 11:23 AM

It took me several months and a lot of emails to finally get here

William Amos on October 19, 2006 at 11:23 AM

Man, she’ll let anyone in here.

Hazmat on October 19, 2006 at 11:24 AM

I read every day and there have been many times I’ve wanted to pitch in. Thanks for the opportunity.

jematlock on October 19, 2006 at 11:27 AM

Look, Ma . . . No hands! :-)

sissywillis on October 19, 2006 at 11:28 AM

Hello from South Carolina. Thanks for letting me join. Hot Air and Michelle’s blog are my favorites.

SCGOPgirl on October 19, 2006 at 11:29 AM

jstueve on October 19, 2006 at 11:30 AM

Please Help. I meant to type JayHawk now I am JayHaw. :(

JayHaw Phrenzie on October 19, 2006 at 11:31 AM

Thank you!

Jose Chupacabra on October 19, 2006 at 11:31 AM

Thanks to HA and MM for letting a conservative from Long Island, NY here (If that’s not the definition of oxymoron, I don’t know what is)

HarryStar on October 19, 2006 at 11:31 AM

Hey! One registration down… two to go. This constantly staring at the site and thinking ‘Open, darn you, open!” works… ;)

Ile on October 19, 2006 at 11:33 AM

Could we link this to LGF too?

smitty031 on October 19, 2006 at 11:33 AM

So you mean we are no longer teh kewl any more?

Were we ever?

High Desert Wanderer on October 19, 2006 at 11:33 AM

How many libs crossed the border this time?

Rick on October 19, 2006 at 11:33 AM

I’m in. Thanks!

jugger on October 19, 2006 at 11:34 AM

Finally. I’ve been dying to register since I found this place. I don’t think I’ll comment all that often, but just knowing I can is well worth it.

Krydor on October 19, 2006 at 11:34 AM

Alright!!!

Joshua P. Allem on October 19, 2006 at 11:36 AM

Sure, jump on NOW, after all the hard work is done….

shooter on October 19, 2006 at 11:39 AM

Oooh! My first comment! *waves hello*

dscherck on October 19, 2006 at 11:40 AM

I FINALLY get to register!
My birthday’s Saturday-and this a great early present.
Woo-Hoo!

annoyinglittletwerp on October 19, 2006 at 11:40 AM

I’m a noob, I’m a noob!!!

jerkychild on October 19, 2006 at 11:40 AM

Woot! I’m in. Thanks.

c.a. Marks on October 19, 2006 at 11:42 AM

Hey Newbie Commentors,
Welcome to the clink. It can be rough on the inside. I can protect you though. Just drop off your payments on the first Monday of each month, and I can assure your safety. Miss a payment, and you will regret it.

(Just kidding! Welcome all!)

realVerse on October 19, 2006 at 11:42 AM

pjcomix,

Sniff.

Please, the term “link whore” is so, um, harsh. It conjures up images of quick, anonymous couplings in dingy alleys, cheap bourbon, smeared lipstick, and hot pants, mesh nylons and white plastic knee-high boots.

I prefer the term “link escort,” myself. Where witty repartee, intelligent conversation, gourmet dinners, chiffon, Dom Perignon, and exclusive gatherings of the socio-economic and political elites is the vision.

After all, it’s not just a job, it’s more like a calling.

Welcome aboard newbies.

And to you libs joining us, you will no doubt notice the many beautiful CONSERVATIVE women that post and appear here in the videos [and one liberal woman that Allahpundit is in the process of converting]. You may look and enjoy the vision. But they are a reminder of what your subspecies is lacking as long as you refuse the light and live on the dark-side as a liberal.

But despair not. We will be pleased to help you repent as you learn to see the error of your ways.

;^)

georgej on October 19, 2006 at 11:42 AM

Alright!!!

Howdy Michelle from the Land of Enchantment!

Frantic Freddie on October 19, 2006 at 11:42 AM

Yay!!!!!!

Another conservative NYC’er in the house. So glad to be here. Thanks so very much for opening the registration.

Yippeeee!!!!!……I’m so excited I have to go and change my pants.

pyro poodle on October 19, 2006 at 11:43 AM

H

ow many libs crossed the border this time?

I don’t think Allah cares that much about the liberals. It is all the new Southerners I see who will get his goat.

Valiant on October 19, 2006 at 11:44 AM

Thank you, thank you Michelle et al. This site is one of my first reads of the day and I have noticed that the commenters, too, are exceptionally bright. I’ll try not to lower the curve :)

eucher on October 19, 2006 at 11:44 AM

Yay! I’m so excited to be here!

Radish on October 19, 2006 at 11:45 AM

realVerse,
I can deal with anything and everything-I’ve got an (almost) teenager.
*siiigh*

infidel4life on October 19, 2006 at 10:36 AM

Welcome NEWBIES!! More brains=more comments=more interesting!

labwrs on October 19, 2006 at 11:46 AM

annoyinglittletwerp on October 19, 2006 at 11:40 AM

and some honesty, wonderful!

shooter on October 19, 2006 at 11:47 AM

Thanks for re-opening the registration. This is a great site!

Zoy

zoyclem on October 19, 2006 at 11:47 AM

i may now comment on this, my new favorites site as of 3-4 months ago!

i will spell poorly.

jummy on October 19, 2006 at 11:48 AM

Allah be praised, I am in worker’s paradise now, comrades!

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Kai on October 19, 2006 at 11:50 AM

Is this someone’s October Suprise?

Thanks for finally letting us from the cold!

CanuckInPA on October 19, 2006 at 11:50 AM

Ok, call me an elite lurker.

I joined when the site started but I haven’t posted much – so I may as well pile on with everyone else.

I’m pleased with what I’ve seen here.

AtomicAmish on October 19, 2006 at 11:51 AM

Welcome all newbies! Hugs and kisses to the ladies (and manly handshakes to the guys) from 40,000 feet up!

As mentioned above, I question the timing. Rush plugs us on the radio, the DOW hits 12,000, it must be Karl Rove’s October suprise!

Tony737 on October 19, 2006 at 11:51 AM

When does the hazing begin?

Anybody have a goat to loan for a couple of days?

natesnake on October 19, 2006 at 11:52 AM

Somebody’s been watching a lot of The Sopranos …

thirteen28 on October 19, 2006 at 11:52 AM

Allahpundit.

I’m curious as to the total number of registered commentators that are on board.

georgej on October 19, 2006 at 11:55 AM

So glad to be here finally. Allah, you’re the best, next to MM of course.

JohnnyD on October 19, 2006 at 11:56 AM

Hey Hey..finally get to say a few words..So Hi everyone

davy on October 19, 2006 at 11:57 AM

Wow… thanks for opening the doors. Staring in through the windows is nice n’ all, but there’s nothing like finally being able to walk in. Do I need a coat and tie? ;-)
