Just Saying Hi... I'm New

[handsomeharry]

I’m not new here, but, I am new to the ways of the people here. They frighten me. But, I do know that when a new member introduces himself, he is to bring presents to the first 25 posters after him.

Welcome.

[Intergalactic_Gladiator]

Party! New guys bring the beer, right?

@Capt_Kirk

If you wish come and join us in the MMP (Monday Morning Post). There is one going on all week every week, the MMP FAQ is at the top of this forum. We are friendly and happy to have newcomers. It is a good place to get a feel for the Dope IMHO, plus you get a nickname.

Cheers

Capt

You get a nickname? I’ll have to go check this out.

@M253-The-Invader

An all week Monday… hmm. I’m sure to certain working people that sounds like horror. It also sounds like a full-time hangover (joking).

Thank you for the invite. Now I can really not do the Paleo Florida web work I have vowed to do. I also have a football pool to not get results and post. Oh happiness.

I see you get what the Dope is really all about already.

Welcome, all you new folks! Have fun!

@Lute Skywatcher

Hm. Follow my family tree back to the 1400s and you end up in Denmark.

A great likelihood of Haplogroup I1 (pure and original European) and then a further breakdown to M253 or a couple of others.

@Prof.Pepperwinkle

Welcome, welcome, welcome! Glad to have you with us.

Than you Professor.

Welcome - we’re happy to have you joining us!

[Sunspace]

Welcome, welcome, welcome! Would you like some ice cream? There are enough of you to catch it this time.

[drewtwo99]

Welcome! Don’t mind the goat and the squid you see in the corner. We’ll get to that soon enough.

Did Marley give you your complementary (and totally temporary and “accidental”) banning yet?

Also, don’t forget to head on over to ATMB (About This Message Board) and accuse the mods of circling the wagons. They love that!

@M253-The-Invader

I guess I’d remark that a specified thread be established stating: New To The Forum… thanks I’m here anyway.

To answer questions before they arrive. M253 is a genetic group where M253 is a mutation different enough to change it from its original assignment: Haplogroup I1. M253 originated in Denmark around 5000 years ago. It was named “The Invader” by British geneticists because it came to Britain by way of invaders from Denmark and Frisia (what is now Holland), as well as Germany. Roughly 400 years later the Vikings from Scandinavia invaded bringing more M253. I think the ability to watch the movie series “Saw” and other so-called bloody horrors are thanks to the head-chopping distant relatives of mine.

I had a DNA analysis done by Genographic Project, it showed M253 big time and right there. Present in every Germanic tribe, M253 was taken south across Europe to Constantinople and to Rome where that genetic group got to having a party and sacked the city.

Soooo…you come from the land of the ice and snow, from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow? Then you are, I presume, proficient in blunt weapons, navigation, and singing of your imminent arrival in the afterlife?

[Happy_Lendervedder]

Hello, I’m Happy. You can call me Happy.

[not_what_you_d_expect]

Always nice to have new folks to talk to. Enjoy your stay.

[cochrane]

I, for one, welcome our new M253 overlord.

[johnpost]

welcome.

P.S. watch out for people with vowels in their user name, they’re all nuts.

[twickster]

Welcome!

(It’s the middle of the night and I’m only up because I can’t sleep – got nothing witty to add. Oh well.)

[Kenm]

Is there a genetic group 666?

If not, there should be.

HAha,
The squids got Sunspace. Welcome to the SDMB; Pay no attention to the three headed dog at the door, feel free to look around and have a glass of pink champagne.
BTW, M253 why do you have my bathrobe, pray tell? Oh, wait, mine’s the red terrycloth…

[Czarcasm]

No pressure here at all. Just remember that you can check out any time you want…
