Me, a DUFFER?!? (please do not delete)

[SweetWaters]

Cool. A legend. It's great to finally meet you, DR! (Even though I'm a not a Duffer, I admire them greatly.)

Derny, I added your song in my sig...

 

[Lady of Lorien]

your know what I find funny is, there's a bunch of member who wish they were duffers or think they are falsely, yet there are member you deny there obvious dufferness.

'Tis part of what maketh her an...a...Duffer.

Do you have to be knighted to become a duffer?

Nah...just a Duffer Knight. Many try, some succeed (The Can Clan), some succeed more (the Brotherhood), some succeed more and more (The Knights...) And then there are people who ARE Duffers, but don't claim any of the above titles because they won't admit it...*glare*

Yeah, waterhogboy, you've been a duffer almost since the day you came. You can't get around that. And though Dernhelm is still somewhat sane...she passes as a duffer quite easily. Good to know that we always remain duffers. Even if we get a more mature, reverting back to our dufferhood(is that a word?) is always possible. It's when you an easily go back and forth between the two that you become...a master.

DR

EXTRAORDINARY! The legend WAS...I mean is, of course...a real person! Good to meet you.

 

[waterhogboy]

I think your legend status, DR, derives from the fact that you and BC were the original Duffers. Did we ever work out who won???

 

[Olórin the Wise]

I thought BC did... simply because DR was less well-known. Who started it, anyway? Somebody must have been first.

 

[Nightfire]

Who's BC?
heh.....

[Dead Rain]

Haha! Man, that was so long ago! How did all these new peoples find out about me? (no. seroiusly. how?)

And while I may be reluctant to admit it, black definitely won. But not for being more well known, but rather for being more....eh... Let me put it like this: I still carried on normal conversations while she was entirely barking mad. In other words, while I was being 'normal', BC was upping her dufferness. If that makes any sense... But even if I didn't admit that, the truth would still stand for itself, even if no onw knew it...in this case they did...but you get the point.

EDIT: haha! exactally, Olorin. Exactally.
DR

 

[Rhyanidd]

I think everyone found out about you, Oh your Legend-ness, because...well some of us read the old threads, but also because all the original Duffers (HB, WHB, Derny, etc.) talked about you.

 

[Olórin the Wise]

...with nostalgic tears in their eyes. Seriously, though... the Golden Age hath passed, and all Duffers are sorrowed thereby, for BC hath left, and Smog, and HB doth post but occasionally. And so we need the Duffers back, and if we succeed in persuading them to return, mighty in lore shall be the Second Golden Age, for it shall have the old Duffers, and many and great new ones, and all shall be exalted.

 

[Rhyanidd]

^What he said.

 

[Olórin the Wise]

I am glad that thou dost agree with me, RF, for verily 'tis foolhardy to disagree.

 

[Rhyanidd]

Well, sure I know that! I may not be a Duffer myself, but I ain't an idiot (much)!

 

[Dead Rain]

"Much" being the operative word..... jk, I don't actually know you that well, so I shouldn't joke around until I do... haha. sorry.

Strange that they should talk about me though... I mean seriously... It's strange. Almost everywhere I go, people are like "DR!!!!" and my thoughts are as follows:
*audible..or..eh.readable* "Hey!.... "
*in head now* "should I know this person? shoot. I should know this person.... no...I don't know this person. they joined recently.... ok... so.... wait... "
*readable* "good to see you too"
*back to the head* "yeah I definitely don't know them...but how the heck do they know me.... all of htese people... they all know me. HOW! I don't understand. is there some inside joke that i odn't know about? I nkow I used to be known around here and loved oh so very dearly...but .....they all talk like they know me. what's goign on! was my last returning a disgrace to my own name so much that even these have heard of it!? oh no!!!!!!"
*readable again* "I'm sure we'll see eachother around more now that I'm back"
*head* "wow...I am so confused right now....will someone explain...help!"

So that's my story on how I reacted to people. And that's realyl what went through my head. I know.. old habits die hard, I guess. There are the few who were around before I left that I know. and it's good to know that I"m not the only one of hte oldies around.

Well, I think that a lot of it has to do with the Order of the Can, where you can find links to all the Duffer training resources (old threads where old people posted). And while not many of us new members have earned the title of Duffer, we all look up to the founders of our present Dufferland with great admiration. It's a position of honor...

 

[Olórin the Wise]

Yeah... you're one of the few Knights. Was the Order of the Can around when you left?

 

[onlymystory]

ya know, for claiming duffer status, this thread makes an awful lot of sense.

i quite love the recipe for duffering though DR, (hehe its like DR Duffer, excuse me DR. I'd like a prescription for slight insanity mixed with a side cocktail of nonsense and perhaps an extra dose of boredom for the late nights). although personally I prefer a dash of oregano for my final duffering needs. and a little basil, cumin, maybe some old bay seasoning for the good old days...actually scratch that, I think I just made spaghetti sauce


and the order of the can is a fairly new creation. founded in the hopes of teaching the rest of us how to duffer

 

[Olórin the Wise]

Is that so?



(read: I didn't understand a word of that.)

 

[Dead Rain]

Oh goodness. It's been a while since I've said such insane things as this.

Onlymystory, thank you. I can up with it a that evening and decided to enrich your minds and taste-buds with it's delicious and succulent flavour.
But I must warn you that you are not to take the side cocktail with the late night bordem, as this leads to permanent deformaty of the mind and absolute endangerment to all who come into contact with you--which we would not like to inflict upon anyone. Take the cocktail of non-sense once in the morning with a large class of orange juice--not forgeting to mix the slight insanity. Without that, the whole thing could go wrong. And we wouldn't want that. Follow these instructions carefully.

The Order of the Can came up a little after I left--well... it was durring a time when I was on and off. I wasn't much able to participate in it as life got in the way....So I appologize to you all for that (though I'm not entirely sure why...). It is fairly new though, as onlymystory said. Good stuff, though I admitt that I've read little of it.

"Much" being the operative word..... jk, I don't actually know you that well, so I shouldn't joke around until I do... haha. sorry.

No, thats quite alright. I don't get offended easily by insults when I open myself up for them And in Dufferland I never get upset.

 

[Olórin the Wise]

Really? I seem to remember that time...

And I just noticed something. DR is a chronic misspeller! Fear ye, fear ye the Spelling Police, for they shall correct thy spelling by means of force (if need be), and if thou dost not comply, they shall descend upon thee as ravenous wolves, and eat thee alive, and thou shalt be greatly sorrowed thereby.
