Hello,

So I was just cruising around and somehow I clicked this link. Brought me here where I see there is alot of various topics and many people......:driving:

I'm 26yrs. I live near Chicago (outskirts) and I dabble in Web Page design and Skinning Layouts......I'm a country boy at heart as I am from Texas, just moved up here a long while ago and haven't quite made it back..........I'm pretty friendly so if you have any questions, fire away, I'm not too shy......

A man doesn't automatically get my respect. He has to get down in the dirt and beg for it.

Elgin is in Scotland everyone knows that ! Not Chicago !

Ok heres my 1st question (there will be many more)

If you were stuck on an island by yourself and the only available food was coconuts and bananas, would you eat just coconuts ? Just bananas ? Coconuts and bananas together ? What ? Dont hold back just lay it on the line ok ?

Question # 2

Have you or have you not visited an Oprah show ?

And dont lie please.

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Fri Oct 21, 2005 12:54 pm

Question # 3

Are you a Bears fan ?

Be very careful when you answer this question !

Blush, Blush, ........... I'd like to think so. We don't say things like ' Top of the morning to ya" though.... Those corny irish accents they used in old films is quite funny..

Not sure honey, it just kinda crept up on me. But hey I make everyone else look normal right ?

Johnny 5 · Post by **Johnny 5** » Fri Oct 21, 2005 3:36 pm

OK, so I just wanna say thanks alot for the 55 emails I got in the last 3 hours.

Holy Christ you should warn people about teh instant email notification......Make than an option you have to turn on instead of being default. I about pissed myself when I saw 55 emails just now. I fixed it but gosh.........what is that some type of forum newbie joke?

Honestly it should be changed so that you don't get any email at all unless you select that option....

Well.....for what it's worth.....I got all excited for some stupid reason and made me a signature for here.....And to my ultimate disappointment I came here to put it on and I can't.

I dont understand why the forum NAZI has all the features tucked away in the closet...... Loosen up a bit........I guess one day I'll maybe kiss the right ass here and get to actually use this thing....

and you........you probably amaze me the most.

how's it going? hamster? I think I'm in a daze or maybe "Hamster just posted a hello in my thread"

I'm thinking this is one crazy Brit I wanna know. I love originality and you have it reaking off the name "Hamster".......not totally something I would choose in pretty much any circumstance. That is exactly why I think "Hamster" is a cool ass mofo.

And I don't care what anyone says Hamster, I got your back all day........:driving:

Greetings Johnny 5, I'm also a newbie here.

I only joined up yesterday and haven't had the time to fully explore the place yet.

G-man · Post by **G-man** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 12:21 am

Welcome Olin! That's an interesting avatar you've got there. :wah:

I followed somebody over here late one night awhile back,and decided to come back and join after I discovered I knew quite a few folks over here, already. It seems like a legitimate cool site... there just aren't many good sites out there like this one to just hang out. This is one of the best I've seen in awhile. Enjoy! :driving:
