Hello new forum internet family lovers! This is my first post on this board and I’m hoping to have a long and productive relationship with you fine young proactive gentlemen and butch manly women! I do have a love for literature, movies, and especially music, and after being told about this board by a friend, I couldn’t refuse. So, you’ll be seeing some of me around here nowadays… Hope we have fun. ---

Welcome. But to be honest, you’re not _really_ a member until you’ve . . . umm. . . “met” the goat at a Dopefest. Don’t worry. The scars eventualy heal. Mostly. DaLovin’ Dj ---

He’s correct. Not only do they not heal, you feel unparalleled pain when you are within 10ft of a goat. But hey, at least you become a true member. Oh yeah, welcome. ---

Welcome aboard! Technically, this is supposed to be in MPSIMS, but we look forward to lively discussions on The Princess Bride, LOTR, Star Wars vs Star Trek (Trek is better ;)), Simpsons, etc… Oh, and I’m not butch. I have been known to check my car’s oil though. ---

Can we call you AJ for short? And if you want a _productive_ relationship here, well, that’d be a First for round these parts, I think… 😉 ---

Welcome aboard… somehow, your name puts me in mind of cereal and a kid I know who keeps calling me a mister. Great imagery there. 🙂 F\_X
