Hiya Tuerca8 –
Welcome aboard! Don’t listen to anyone who has told you not to listen to anyone else (this includes me). Enjoy yourself, we’re glad to have you.
Hey there, Tuerca8. Nice ta meetcha.
Y’know, SF, I find that by looking at someone’s profile, an amazing amount of information can be discovered.
“Location: Sylmar, CA
Occupation: Musician/Student
Interests: Music, Jazz, drums, piano, vibes”
His AIM SN is drumdude83, which I take to mean he’s male and 17, or will be shortly. You may, however, take that some other way if you so wish.
Bonjour, Tuerca8 et Tabithina!
Just dropping by to say hi and welcome (already saw Tabithina’s contribution to the limerick thread :D).
Well Jamie, I don’t give a flying fuck (Sorry Mods) about welcoming you ;). J/K, you should have told me you joined and I would have started (another) thread welcoming a friend.
BTW, BratMan, he will send nude pictures of himself to you.
Hellooooo Little Jamie Bear :*) …Hmm…I suppose that “Fifi” and “Sparky” welcome you too! 
You lucky guy. We’re “Starbucking” (that could sound quite wrong…) it tomorrow…right?
Uh oh, Dave’s invited all his friends to the SDMB. I remember doing that a while back. Some joined, and now I have to be careful about how much I say.
Welcome, and have a nice time. I’d like to be the first to offer the spankings when you’ve misbehaved. [“and then the oral sex…”]
G’day Tuerca8 and Tabithina!
Welcome to hell. Okay, it’s not really hell, just addictive. The people are great, the wit is wonderful, the interests diverse.
Be honest, open and always speak your mind. Don’t take anything too personally. Read everything with a smile.
Enjoy.
Coldy forgot to add: “And trust that dpr fellow - he’s a stand-up sort of guy.”
And watch out for the hazing ceremonies… (translation: quick, get some posts up quickly so you’re no longer a rookie)
Wow, so many replies. Didn’t expect to see this. Yes, I am 17 and a half (that half is important, it just means that much closer to 18). No… not married. Hey Goldstein, nice to see another Jew. Thank you sailor for catching the “nut” reference. Hey there LittleStar and Monster. What’s this about Dave having friends though? Perhaps just mere aquaintances… j/k… sorry Dave. Oh, I made a mistake in my profile, my AIM screen name is DrumFool83, not Dude. Alright, got my tinfoil helmet on my head and my latex helmet on the other one and ready for take off… and then the oral sex (caught that one too). I look forward to the insanity.

I find that by asking a person these questions, it “breaks the ice” and makes them more comfortable. I also think that Tuerca8 is intelligent and responsible enough to answer questions directed at him without your assistance. If you care to “lecture” me on things I can or cannot ask another poster, start a new thread. You don’t need to clog another’s thread with your garbage. Thank you.
