Just kidding. I’m tasha, and I’m half Icelandic, and part of the origin of my handle. Have fun on the boards, and don’t worry about being foolish. It’s not to be avoided for long. ---

**Skümmet** , if you think I’m going to open CharMap everytime I want to address you just so I can get the blasted umlaut over the “U” you are wrong. I’ll try to remember [Alt] 0252 instead. Welcome aboard. Hope you like it here. One question, though, seems to have been skirted by everybody, surprisingly: Are you male or female? We are going to need proof, too. ---

Welcome, Skummet! Please ignore anyone who tries to tell you deviant sexual acts are required of new people. I’m not saying they wouldn’t be _welcome_, just that they aren’t required. Chief Scott is a great guy; a brave military man now somewhere around Bangkok and not always able to keep in touch. Just so you know, he _hates_ smilies. Welcome to the madhouse. It grows on you.

Hi there, Skümmet, and welcome. First things first: What’s with that weird name ? Even I don’t get it, and I am after all a Dane myself. Some sort of trendy in-joke circulating back home ? “ü” isn’t even a bona fide Danish character! Well, as has been said: Don’t be a jerk, don’t direct smilies at ChiefScott and don’t be surprised when your Internet fee triples - this place is addictive. Velkommen! S. Norman ---

Welcome to the SDMB. Hey, you guys never felched me before i hit 100 posts. :: thinks to himself, oh shoot, i shoulda kept my mouth shut :: And yes we will need proof of being female/male. Female pic must be sent to ChiefScott first and every other male member (pun alert) after that, nude of course. Male nude pic must be sent to all female members. 😃 ---

You name yourself after low-fat dairy products and then have the audacity to question the wisdom of me moving to Germany ??? The story is rather banal, though: I moved to Hamburg because I was offered a pretty good job in a (Danish-owned) German company and because my old contract had a clause expressly forbidding me to seek employment in a lot of attractive Danish companies. I’m staying for a while due to a very enjoyable job, good beer, low taxes and cheap vehicles. In a couple of years, I’ll either go back to ole Denmark or try for yet another country, perhaps a bit more exotic. I told you, boring story. Rats, I’ll have to get some work done today.

Hiya Skümmet, and welcome to the board! My name’s Audrey, and I live in Hawaii. (Should I have said “aloha” then? ::shrug:🙂 My advice to you? Stay away from that fellow who spouts Shakespearean quotations. He’s _weird_, dude, just weird! Other than that, well… Look before you leap. Don’t piss anyone off unless they really deserve it. Offer sympathies when needed. Join in the celebrations. (Bring GOOD beer!) Find someone to flirt with. The more, the better! Have fun! The last is the most important, but you know, it also comes most easily. See ya around! ---
