Hi - I'm Jason. Consider this my intro. I've lurked here for about a month, and finally sucked it up and joined this afternoon. I'm a procrastinator. There's times I wanted to join but my wallet and credit card information was all the way over there. And I'm hardly frugal, in fact, I spend money like an asshole, like I have it. I'll buy beers all night long, not even considering the tab I'm racking up. Then I'll analyze whether I should spend a measly 9 bucks on myself which will help better myself and connect me to a community of other like minded folk? I'll ask myself if this is worthy of another monthly expense. Yet I have overpriced exotic stuffed olives in my fridge that I've never used. I'll buy them again if I have to. The mind is a strange place.
See you around LR. I look forward to reading & contributing round these parts.
You can send me money, if you'd like. $9 bucks a month and I'll join the real site too, for now I stay a poor post stalker.
And hello.
Would you settle for the olives?
Hello.
"Settle" is my middle name!
Meat Settle Seeker? Is it a family name?
It's actually Meat Settle Seeker III, but who's counting?
I come from a long line of Settlers.
The olives are good to display prominently in your condiment rack in order to gain credibility within your peer group.
"For the cost of a few beers" - Your beers are much less costly than mine it seems! :D
Nice to have you around. Really quick, your favorite:
- Shape for a processed food item
- Book with a RED cover
- Misspelled word
- Band that should have stopped playing more than 10 years ago, yet continues on ruining their legacy
Processed food item: Anything in the shape of an animal
Red cover: Paperback edition of Glamorama
Misspelled word: Any word with a red squiggly (is that misspelled?) line underneath it.
Band: The Rolling Stones
Well, I live in the Boston metro area so beer is expensive unless you go the PBR/High Life route (about 3 bucks) whereas a craft beer is about 5.50 and up. So, yeah, I can sacrifice 3 PBRs a month to join this site.
Nice to have you around. Really quick, your favorite:
Shape for a processed food item - easy, phallic. All the best kinds of food. No other answer.
Book with a RED cover - Chuck P - Survivor (it's redish, ,right, or is it orange? Let's go with red)
Misspelled word - Michael - it's my middle name. I mispelled it until about age 15. Still looks weird to me that way.
Band that should have stopped playing more than 10 years ago, yet continues on ruining their legacy - The Dead/Further - I love the guys that are still around, and I love their individual projects. But when they get together and hire a guy who was previously the "Jerry" in a tribute band, it just reaks of lameness and goes against a band that always pushed things "further.".Bring on Phil & Friends!
My Chuck P - survivor cover is yellow.
-Shape for a processed food item - I'd also have to go with phallic, or circular (common but no point improving on the design)
-Book with a RED cover - The end of Mr Y 'Scarlet Thomas'
-Misspelled word - colour/color
-Band that should have stopped playing more than 10 years ago, yet continues on ruining their legacy - Alice in chains (the demise of layne should've been 'fin'. His voice made the band.
That's funny... If i spell check this it says 'colour' is wrong. I realize the majority on LitReactor would disagree, but where i come from 'colour' is correct and 'color' is lazy. <-- Ha, Jokes.
Ash, if you click the spell-check button and select options, you can set the language to "British English" which this will ensure that your incorrect spelling of "color" won't show as being wrong :P
Thanks Kirk I'll do that, But you should remember, The language you speak came from this little island. :D So it has to be the correct way as it was invented here :P heh.
Though you may be historically accurate, you're forgetting one important fact:
USA! USA! USA!
I thought the way we speak came from God... That's how it's written in the bible... ;)
If that's the case, and it came from God i would it not be Aramaic? Heh. At any rate, English from England can go suck the big one! I'm Scottish :) Furthermore, I'd love to get to America so i cant debated that its awesome.
If I didn't spell colour with a 'u' I'm pretty sure the ghost of my grandmother would come smack me in the back of the head. Same with neigbour, favour, and all those other fun 'u' words. America hates U!
<3
Ash, thank you for not writing your posts the way Irvine Welsh would write his. I fookin have a hard time with that.
Welcome Otis TheBulldog
Shape for a processed food item: Cone shaped meats
Book with a RED cover: The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore
Misspelled word: Mississippi. I think that's how you spell it.
Band that should have stopped playing more than 10 years ago, yet continues on ruining their legacy: Metallica.

I find it annoying reading irvine welsh stuff. They're good stories for real but i hate the dialect.
Welcome Jason!
Really quick, your favorite:
• Shape for a processed food item - triangles
• Book with a RED cover - The Catcher In The Rye
• Misspelled word - "reprot" for "report" esp. in newspapers
• Band that should have stopped playing more than 10 years ago, yet continues on ruining their legacy - The Rolling Stones play great - they should stop "composing" because it's all lame. Please - no new material...
Hello, Jason!
A band that should have stopped playing 10 years ago...that's obivious. NICKELBACK
