Qermaq
That's a pretty unusual name, I'm curious, how you come up with it? That might be some good info to start building your User page off of. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 22:14, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Wow, where to begin! It's just made up to sound cool, I've been using it online forever. Do a Google search on it.... Qermaq 22:23, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

- Hi, The thing! I guess you missed that part where I am a n00b. (I even had to look up how to type that link in the previous sentence.) I saw the site, looks pretty fun, but I doubt I'm ready for that! - Qermaq - (T/C)

Pronunciation
A question for you in this style of your userpage:
subject: QermaqDear Qermaq,
That's a pretty cool name, but I'm curious,
how do you pronounce it?
Totally not gettin' old,
Heimstern Läufer00:07, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Well, that's a very interesting question you pose.
The first part of the name, "Qer", is like the
first part of "current" except you lay on the "k"
sound a little too hard, like you had a few too
many cold ones. Then the "maq". That's like the
word "mock", as in "Gee, your name sounds foreign
and funny. I will mock it."
So I hope that answers your question, Hauptschule
Verlierer. Thanks for asking!
Your pal,
Qermaq
An Ancient, eh?
Hi Qermaq. I noticed on your userpage you've been around H*R since July 2002. I'm curious, do you perhaps remember anything from H*R that we don't know, from back then? The one thing in particular that's bugged me is the wireless bizness thing. Do you remember anything about it? Apparently the "I drank too much salty plum soda. - Stu" rollover email on the Toons Menu used to featured on it. I'd love to build a page about it, but currently there's not enough info. Anything else you remember from way back when would be awsome too. Thanks, ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 20:46, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- Ya, I'm an oldbie. But I don't remember encountering that WPI thing - not that I'd have even looked at it if I had, since I don't use a mobile to access the Web. But if I do remember anything cool, I'll be sure to spread the love! - Qermaq - (T/C) 20:56, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Homestar Number
If all goes well on Tuesday, my H*R number could spike right the way to one. As it stands right now, I'm a four. I know this guy on the wiki who's cousin is a guitarist who worked with TMBG, who had TBC do a video for "Experimental Film". But I guess that number's kind of a cheat. :P ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 03:52, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, even the folks who got an email from TBC have me beat! Have fun Tuesday! - Qermaq - (T/C) 04:54, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Chords
Well, a few people mentioned in chat they liked the "different town" transcription, but I don't know what to do next! I mean "Because It's Midnite" is D F C D, done; "Trogdor" is riff-based so a chord transcription would be useless; "Secret Song" is just impossible. (That is a Gb major triad over a C major triad at the end, though.)
So what now? Any ideas? - Qermaq - (T/C) 18:02, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- Could you send me the tab sheet? I tried playing it and have chord'd the CGNU fight song. LePorello / T / C 23:50, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Welcoming
Hey Qermaq. Thanks for welcoming those two. Here's a quick tip: Remember that edit summaries are for the page itself as much as (or even more than) for the recent changes list. A new user might be confused by a summary of "standing in, no welcomers aboard". Keep on tranglin', though! — It's dot com 18:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
