Might as well join in and say hello to all! I’ve been using (and abusing) computers since the old Texas Instruments days, am a rabid Frank Zappa, Yes, ELP, Bela Flec fan and sometime musician. Play guitar, piano, banjo, bass, drums and sing somewhat. Spent 10 years in the Army in Germany and the Middle East. Served in Desert Storm with distinction. Divorced AND handled my own case AND got full custofy of all three of my kids. Remarried to a wonderful lady. Kind of opinionated but so is every body else around here. Started reading Straight Dope in Germany and have NOT been able to stop. Any advice - good, bad or indifferent is always appreciated. Am not a troll and won’t like sock puppets until cloning is a reality…
I HAVE BEEN SMOKE-FREE FOR:
Two weeks, four days, 13 hours, 46 minutes and 41 seconds.
742 cigarettes not smoked, saving $92.87.
Life saved: 2 days, 13 hours, 50 minutes.
Welcome aboard. Thank you for this opportunity to gratuitously inflate my post count.
Also, it sounds like you may have a pretty good idea about the board already. That is a good thing. Sit back and enjoy the running jokes, sexual tension, and double entendres that have become a hallmark of our happy home.
Well, honey just tastes better when it comes from a bear’s head.
I first saw xploder in the “Porn Czar” thread. xploder and I live in the same city. Cool, huh? We’ve emailed a few times, and this has led me to believe that xploder is a really, really nice guy. So you guys better be nice to him, okay? Because we’re from Flint, and you don’t want to mess with people from Flint. We’re worse than Detroiters.
(xploder: I just talked you up really good, okay? Now go forth and don’t make me look bad. :D)

Well, I HAVE been lurking for quite a while now I just never bothered to register until very recently.
CRISTI IS THE MOST AWESOME POSTER ON THIS BOARD!!! I bow before her magnificience and majesty. I’d eat a mile of dead skunk butts to see her in person!!!
Oops…guess I shoulda turned my brain to Army mode OFF.
Now that, for any and all newbies on the board, is the way to get yourself in good here. You don’t have to say nice things about me, but if you just pick a reg, bow before his/her majesty, and eat a few dead skunk butts, you’ll be juuuuust fiiiiine.
