Welcome from another Austinite!

Austinite? Do people really say that? It sounds like a rock! Come see our scenic deposits of natural Austinite! Visit our shop where you can buy exquisite gifts carved from local Austinite!

(I've lived in Michigan for a decade and still can't bring myself to say Michigander.)

Welcome, Waypoint3D.

Indeed we do.

You're confusing it with the substance that's deadly to the 6 Million Dollar Man.

After searching pages and pages about 6MDM (and his potential susceptibility to rocks) and wracking my brain for memories (I have exactly two memories about 6MDM: some guy running in slow motion with weird sound effects and some woman (who, it turns out was not Jamie Lee Curtis, but Lindsay Wagner (playing a character named Jaime Sommers) ripping apart a phonebook in front of a classroom), I realize that 6MDM's name is Austin and begin to *consider* the possibility that bootedbear is pulling my leg.

Sly ones, you Austinites.

Austin was my stomping ground for about 3 years while I was getting my Master's at UT. A sly dome would have been great for cooling off during those horrid summers. Too bad they weren't quite as popular back then.

(By the way, is a female "Michigander" a "Michigoose?" LOL)
