Hmmm, he’s a guy AND a Canuck BUT he likes crappy old computers. I guess that makes him okay, anyway.

Sheesh, SOY MILK? Like regular milk doesn’t give you enough gas? Here, have a beer.

I’d just like to point out that I accept NO RESPONSIBILITY for this guy! He’s just some student who was reading over my shoulder one day, and nagged at me until I told him about the SDMB.

So when he turns out to be a troll, throw him in the Pit, and don’t blame me!

😉

(Actually, he seems like he’ll be fun to have around. But students are _supposed_ to suffer.)

Oh you’re CANADIAN? Double welcome then. I like Canadians. And Connecticans. Pretty much if you’re from a place starting with C 🙂 But Canada is nice.

Hi jovius!

I’ve been here about a month; this board is seriously addictive! You’ll have fun here.

Pssst… you really, really DON’T want to know about felching, squicking and monging. Curiousity got the better of me, and now I’ll NEVER BE THE SAME!!!:eek:

Hi all!

I typed something earlier but somehow it didn’t get to the thread… anyways, I’ll rewrite them…

It’s nice to see that you all do care ☹ \<=(can’t find a crying face so I’ll use a frown).

… pillow fights, soy milk and cookies (Mmmm!), and Bumbazine’s last Internet page (it now official, the cyberspace is finite and no longer expands!)…

Thanks to RJK, I can now roam in this realm and explore quite a bit (and join the fight against ignorance!).

Cheers!  
jovius  
PS: What’s with the gerbil thingy (RJK wouldn’t elaborate) and felching and squicking?

PPS: I know about Wally and RJK nicely explained to me yet we can’t figure out the Jewish Orthodox Smily Face. Anyone wanna explain?
