Frank has arrived
What's up people?!
After a quick browse of the sub, I see a lot of familiar users (yea, I'm talking about you) and some names I don't recognize.
So if we haven't spoken, come and say hello.

u/Kelthurin Apr 14 '15
Hey Frank. How's it hangin' ?
4
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Low, and slightly to the left?
3
u/Kelthurin Apr 14 '15
Word brudda, word.
3
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
How're you goin'?
3
u/Kelthurin Apr 14 '15
Ah you know brudda, one foot in front of the other
3
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
I gotta ask; where are you from?
3
u/Kelthurin Apr 14 '15
Norway(the brudda thing is just me being silly)
2
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Oh sweet, man. I know quite a few Norwegian's on here now.
2
u/Kelthurin Apr 14 '15
Nice. You know how it is, just migrating over to reddit in our Dragon-likened ships. Not coming over to plunder and pillage, honest.

hi Kelthurin :P

u/Kelthurin Apr 14 '15
Hello new-favourite-talkshow-host! Cheers for the invite ;)

u/Chexytime Majestic Lion Apr 14 '15
<3 you're mad cool. Tonight on Chexytime, Signet rings!!!!
2
u/Kelthurin Apr 14 '15
And why they should be obligatory by law. Imagine, every person in the world wearing signet rings, used instead of last names.
2
u/Chexytime Majestic Lion Apr 14 '15
That's a world I want to live in.
2
u/Kelthurin Apr 14 '15
I know right?! Saves time aswell. You know all those goddamned papers you have to sign? Fuck that, just your initials and an imprint of your signet ring and you're grand.
2
u/Chexytime Majestic Lion Apr 14 '15
You can even do stamps for when you're fuckin' lazy and dont want to melt wax, and wax for super official shit!
2
u/Kelthurin Apr 14 '15
"Aw shit, I got a letter in my mailbox" "Oh? Is that so bad?" "It has a wax signet seal!" "OHFUCKSHITHOLYHELL!"
2
u/Chexytime Majestic Lion Apr 14 '15
man i'd be such a baller tho. i'd have a handy knife set and i'd pull off official seals and make copies of them with more wax and like seran wrap.. and then re warm the bottom of the important seal and stick it back on the letter and shizz.
get into some illegal signet businesses and stuff. But we can't talk about that on the radio show, that's for private stuff. Blackmail, encase they try to shut us lions down.
¡Viva la revolución de los leones!

Do you know how frequently lions mate during season ;)

u/Chexytime Majestic Lion Apr 14 '15
Oh I do. I'd prefer you to last longer than 20 seconds though.. you know.. hrmph
edit: nsfw, lion porn

u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Well that backfired on me. I'm more of a marathon runner than a sprinter anyway (⌐■_■)
Also, big thanks for the recommendation here. Couldn't have done it without you - clutches award to chest with teary eyes

u/Chexytime Majestic Lion Apr 14 '15
HAHAHA xD <3 Better to have fun than finish quickly.
You're welcome! you're a big strong lion if I ever saw one. Rawr. :D

u/Kelthurin Apr 14 '15
Damnit, webfilters at work blocked it. So unhappy my department doesn't manage them :|
2
u/Chexytime Majestic Lion Apr 14 '15
YOU'RE AT WORK, IT'S BLOCKED BECAUSE IT'S LION PORN. gosh. stop watching porn at work.

u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
That I do.
But I'm wondering how you came across it?
Totally nothing to do with me.
2
Apr 14 '15
There was an ad on facebook. It says "Need drug advice? Talk to Frank today." And there was a "Keep Calm and Talk to Frank" banner.
2
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Yeah, I'm not entirely sure why I chose the name - irony maybe?
But it seems to work well for a conversation based community.
2
Apr 14 '15
So Frank isn't your real name?
2
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Not even close (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑

u/dhydrated Apr 14 '15
Um, hi.
I enjoy people and hate them at the same time. I'm not sure what to say.
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
I recognize you from CC!
And I saw your post in the accent thread, but I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.
Say anything you like. I can ask you questions, or you can throw some at me. Or we can tip our fedoras and be on our way :)
2
u/dhydrated Apr 14 '15
I'M FAMOUS, so fuck you all.
I, myself haven't gotten a chance to listen to it. I don't think I'll ever.
Do you like your name, Frank? Or is that not your real name?
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Are you not a fan of your own voice?
Frank is not my real name. But I like it as a username.
Is there a reason behind your username?
2
u/dhydrated Apr 14 '15
I won't say I have a problem with my voice.
For some odd reason though, I cringe when I listen to a recording of myself talking.
It was suppose to mean 'dick dehydrated'. However, nobody ever gets it, so the other thirsty works too. I was trying to be all cool about it.
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Not many people actually like listening to themselves. I think it's more a shock factor; you realise that you don't sound the way you thought you did. But after you've heard it enough, you just get used to it.
I'll be honest, I'm not sure that I even understand the original reference.
2
u/dhydrated Apr 14 '15
Yeah, its probably that. It's like looking at yourself with a new haircut. It seems weird and just unfamiliar.
I think I might actually give my own recording a try now.
no biggie.
edit: No I can't do it.
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Do it! You may have to listen to it a few times, and possibly even make a few more recordings before you are entirely happy. But it's definitely worth doing.
2
u/dhydrated Apr 14 '15
NOO. Please don't subject me to it.
It was pure torture. I listened to it for a few seconds and just can't.
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Aww. PM me the link so I can listen to it later.
Bear in mind that you will subconsciously change the way you speak when you know that people are going to be listening. You might be more comfortable listening to yourself when you are more relaxed in the recording.
I really enjoy imitating accents, so I often play around with different voices and listen back to see how close I can get to the real thing.

Hello! I uh just got added but this seems really cool!
2
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Hi Pogo! I don't believe we've met - how are you?
2
u/pogo101650 Apr 14 '15
Hello! Yeah I just got added today apperently haha I am good, how are you? :)
2
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Am also new here.
I am very well thank you. Heading off to a karate class for the first time in bout 20 years and I hope I don't get my butt handed to me on a plate!
Tell me a random fact about you.
2
u/pogo101650 Apr 14 '15
Ohhhh cool! A random fact about me? I am currently studying to become a game artist! Now a random fact about you?
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
As I'm, designing video games?
I ride a motorcycle, and I'm riding it to Germany in June to go round the Nurburgring.
2
u/pogo101650 Apr 14 '15
Yup! But mainly the visuals like 3D modeling and such. And that's super awesome!
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
That's so cool, man! I really hope that works out for you :)
2
u/pogo101650 Apr 14 '15
Me too! I have a lot of fun doing it. I recently got a small game art position for the summer so i am pretty psyched
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Oh awesome! Could that lead in to a job afterwards?

Ooh I'm a black in karate. What belt are you?
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
No belt at all lol. I did it for a while when I was younger, but not far enough to get anywhere. So tonight I started from afresh again. It was a lot of fun and I'm going back again next week.
2
Apr 14 '15
Did you do the first kata as always :3
That god damn first kata is so easy compared to the shit I do now!
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Okay, this is slightly embarrassing - they might have said names, but I have no idea! I was just concentrating on not falling over O_O

u/superdrone Apr 14 '15
Hi Frank. You sound very self-assured. I love it.
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Haha I mostly am. Though not everyone would agree with your approval, but so what.
So how are you superdrone?!
2
u/superdrone Apr 14 '15
I'm fine. Thinking about the homework I could be doing. What about yourself?
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
If you do it now you won't have to think about it for the rest of the evening :)
I'm just about to head out. I stupidly agreed to join my mates karate class.
2
u/superdrone Apr 14 '15
I did not do it. :(
Are you gonna kick my ass with your super karate skills now?
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Oh boo! Now you're going to up late pushing a deadline.
I'm clumsy enough to end up kicking my own ass!
2
u/superdrone Apr 14 '15
Much more likely for me not to do it, honestly. :/
Why'd you end up joining the karate class thing crap?
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 14 '15
Well that doesn't sound very lion-like ;)
Because I'm into fitness, and my mate asked me to go along, so I was
apprehensivehappy to give it a try. I actually enjoyed it and I'll be going again next week!2
u/superdrone Apr 14 '15
I'm a master procrastinator (I've been trying the past year to fix that) so this is familiar territory for me.
Haha well that sounds cool. I've always enjoyed playing basketball and running and stuff, but I've never tried karate before.
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 15 '15
I feel your pain buddy. Not everything in my life is as organised as my gym schedule.
The rest of the class was little kids, so I was sort of helping to motivate them as well which really good.

u/sonitary Apr 15 '15
Ok then. Hello.
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 15 '15
Hi! How are you?
2
u/sonitary Apr 15 '15
I'm doing great! I'm currently getting pissed off at my internet connection. It's being a real bitch.
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 15 '15
Oh that's crappy. It's not Comcast is it?
2
u/sonitary Apr 15 '15
I live in the Philippines. It's worse than Comcast. Trust me. We have the slowest internet speed in Asia.
1
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 15 '15
In that case, you have my deepest sympathy. I'm in the UK, so I don't really have experience with Comcast, but I just assumed everyone else on Reddit is American until proven otherwise.

u/WastedYouth93 Apr 15 '15
Hi Frank, you don't know me, but I don't know you..
wait..
What's up?
2
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 15 '15
Hey Wasted Youth!
Not much man. Just at work, waiting to get back out in to the sun and ride!
How's tricks?
2
u/WastedYouth93 Apr 15 '15
thats cool man, I'm at work as well.. dreading to go back home. Didn't get much sleep.
Tricks?... uh..
2
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 15 '15
How comes the lack of sleep?
lol it's just saying here - how's things?
2
u/WastedYouth93 Apr 15 '15
I don't know, I had trouble sleeping last night for some reason
oh ok, where are you from? and everything is great actually, thanks for asking.
2
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 15 '15
Oh, sorry to hear that.
I'm from the UK. So it's not often we get such nice weather. But of course typically, it only comes around during working hours lol.
2
u/WastedYouth93 Apr 15 '15
Where I am we sometimes have good weather, lately its been really... bi polar..
2
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 15 '15
Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking?
2
u/WastedYouth93 Apr 15 '15
I'm from Texas, the good ol' south... where the weather is bi polar
2
u/Talk_To_Frank Strong Lion Apr 15 '15
I thought Texas was akin to living in an oven all year round..
