We may need to place roo meat on the menu for newbs. :D
Well I may not be a Ausie, but I will go along with the Roo meat . I found a place in Albany NewYork that carries it. $48.00 for 8 1 pound steaks but they are worth it to me.

Welcome to all you NewB's In honor of our newest Newb Saarahali. We have fresh squeezed Goats milk, Gayman oatmeal cookies ,MINTIES and Roo meat cooked any way you want it .

Are kitties in Australia extra bouncy?

Welcome to all the new members. Btw, amb: have you run fresh out of hamsters? Percent's hamster is still thriving and, in fact, was caught doing the nasty in a passageway. More hamsters will, likely, be on the way. These, however, will only be suitable for companionship--not the barbie :).

Greetings, Folks--

I was put onto this site by a friend from another forum. I don't know his screen name here but will find out.

I'm an English teacher in the California Community College system, and I live in Butte County, northern California. My first degree was in Music and English, and my Master's is in English.

Besides music, playing and listening, I have many, many other interests. I'm 57, so I've had some time to develop them. Among these are politics, firearms, archery, bonsai, cooking, history, woodworking, gardening, and outdoor recreation.

Since this is apparently a philosophy board, I think this will be an interesting membership.

Hi, I'm a technologically altered ape with a particular dislike for politician's inability to take an official line on the existence of heaven (what with all the suicidal Jihadi koranic literalists motivated that way) and/or hello :)

In the US, Iams used to sell Eukanuba® kangaroo and oat diet for food allergy (dogs).

I think it is currently unavailable.

[FringeFin440]

Hello all!

[trixta]

Sushi!?!?!? No one mentioned sushi to me.. I've had enough of these stale oat meal cookies.

Jason V. That is a mighty fine first post.

Welcome all you fellow noobs, astrophysicists, parapsychologists and ornithologists. One word of advice. OK five. Don't drink the Goats milk. The Colonel been plucking a turkey.

As for the best reference to "How many pairs of sandals dose it take to get from Greece to Persia?" I offer you this (just stick a few double ewes in front of it) badassoftheweek.com/alexander.html

Welcome, everyone. :)

[Ateophile]

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. There's nothing really attached to having an "account" here. If you don't wish to post, just don't post. If you don't wish to read, just don't log on. Being a registered forumite really doesn't require much of you and doesn't convey any real world privileges, so "deleting" an account is just a lot of work for something you can achieve rather easily by just not involving yourself.

If you merely want to change your name, you can achieve that by the a.m. advice from Roadtoad - just PM a mod (LashL,Lisa Simpson, Darat).
The "problem" is that I get email solicitations from JREF as Ateophile. I wish to standardize on the new name across all freethought sites, and dispense with Ateophile as much as possible. Anyway, thanks for being explicit about who the moderators are.

[Barney Gumble]

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie too and also from Australia, just outside of Sydney.

I once felt lost and even guilty for questioning everything and not accepting popular ideas and beliefs.

It's refreshing to have found a society of like minded people and look forward to some sensible discussion on a variety of topics.

Not necessarily. Try the meat department of any Coles Supermarket. There you will find roo steaks, roo sausages, roo mince and already marinated roo steaks ready to grill. Delizioso! :)

[Skeptic at birth]

I am new here and I have been lurking for about a week now. I found this site because I had read read some of Sylvia Browne's books and I was googling her to see if I could find out if she was at all accurate at being a psychic. I did not find that in my research. What I found instead is a you tube video of Browne and Randi in an interview. I googled James Randi and I watched some of the videos he has on you tube and I found that I have been thinking the way he does for my entire life. As a child I couldn't even believe in Santa Clause for the appropriate amount of time. When I was four years old I asked my mom if the handwriting on the gifts from Santa was my father writing with his left hand...she told me not to ruin it for my sisters. My mother claims I was born 30 years old because I was an odd child in that I thought very logically and rationally as a child having been 'expected' to think magically.

I have picked up versions of what happens to us when we die lately because I have had 3 miscarriages and my rational mind is not matching my emotional state over the losses. I picked up the bible and I told my husband after I had read it that I didn't really like that God. He seemed to be just as susceptible to the less desirable of human traits as we are and that isn't someone I want to have any kind of power over me. I also read up on Buddhism. I like that one as it pertains to this life and how to just be a good person, as in aware that the person across the table from you really isn't all that different from you. I also read Sylvia Browne's account of "The Other Side". I liked that one for a minute because it appealed to my intellect. I liked a good challenge and the idea of furthering the education of my soul was intriguing. I have found that a small part of my envies those who have faith (religious faith), but there's a larger part of me who enjoys having control over my life and the road it has taken. I like that I have what I have because I worked hard for it and not because some being I cannot see or hear has deemed me worthy.

Well, that's my progression from being totally rational most of my life, to dabbling in the idea of religion, to going back to being who I was to begin with. Thanks for reading!

[Matt78]

Hello everyone. I have been a skeptic and an atheist since I was 14. I was raised in a fundamentalist Lutheran family in Wisconsin, and was sent to a Lutheran elementary school. Starting in my teenage years, I developed an insatiable appetite for books by Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov (mostly his nonfiction, but some of his fiction as well), Stephen Hawking, and others. I have a B.S. and M.S. in engineering, but have a wide range of interests in addition to the natural sciences, including history and philosophy. I am a hardcore metaphysical naturalist and decided to join this board in order to associate with like-minded people.

[Raoul Mitgong]

I am Frank from Alabama. I go by Raoul Mitgong because he was not much help:D

I have been a member and moderator of the Habitablezone forum for over 10 years, in case anyone is familiar with that small community.

I look forward to future exchanges with this group.

Hi,
Im a newbie at JREF and found out about it through stop Sylvia Brown. Its great to finally find a community of critical thinkers. Im from Australia, and look forward to participating in the forum.:)

Hey hey, kudos to RSL for bringing more into the fold.

Even if there are way too many Aussies here already. ;)

Just kidding... I have to admit that the strong Oz contingent here only raises my estimation of the continent.

If you're looking for critical thinkers, you'll be very happy here.

I don't know of any other community with a larger (or more welcoming) contingent of critical thinkers than you'll find here.

Welcome, new blood.

And hey, can I crash on your floor when I make my trek to Australia? :D

Please, linger longer in the science and culture threads. Come over to the dark side. I promise you'll like it. :)

The truth shall set you free.

It shall also kill you and doesn't give a rat's ass what happens to you.

Like Bette Davis famously said about old age, skepticism ain't for sissies.

[Piggy]

Starting in my teenage years, I developed an insatiable appetite for books by Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov (mostly his nonfiction, but some of his fiction as well), Stephen Hawking, and others.

When I was a young teen, my mother insisted that my brother and I watch a TV series called Cosmos, hosted by Carl Sagan.

It literally changed my life.

Or, more accurately, it allowed my life to be what it was supposed to be.

Welcome, brother.

Welcome, Skeptic at birth, sorry to hear about the tribulations in your life, but if you're looking for “a good challenge” you’ve come to the right forum. Though I can’t guarantee that all challenges will be good I’m sure there will be challenges and at least some good ones.

Chicken.
(That's the traditional answer, of course. No one would eat it if you told them it tastes like rat - large hoppy-happy rat.)

Hi All,

Relatively new skeptic from Australia here. Went to TAMOZ recently and had an awesome time!

Since TAMOZ, I've had one friend try to convince me that Lloyd Pye's theory that humans were genetically engineered by aliens is true and another try to convince me that evolution isn't true (and bizarrely cited Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey as an influencing factor in his realization).

The woo runs deep!

Welcome JamesBeattie. What the hell has 2001 A Space Odyssey got do with evolution?
The aliens would have had to evolve, just as if a creator would have had to evolve.
That's the way the universe works. Simplicity evolves into complexity.

[arthwollipot]

The point of 2001 was that the primitive apes were "uplifted" and their intelligence considerably boosted by contact with the Monolith.

Essentially, it was the Monolith that cause human intelligence to appear, not evolution.

Hi All,

Relatively new skeptic from Australia here. Went to TAMOZ recently and had an awesome time!

Since TAMOZ, I've had one friend try to convince me that Lloyd Pye's theory that humans were genetically engineered by aliens is true and another try to convince me that evolution isn't true (and bizarrely cited Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey as an influencing factor in his realization).

The woo runs deep!

James

I would have brushed up against you at TAMOZ James.

Welcome and enjoy.

Uh, hello from Australia. Found this place in the weirdest of ways. Was googling something (long since forgotten), which lead me to the Loose Change Forums (I know, I know! :p), and I ended up in a thread where your man Gravy was debating them very logically,calmly, and armed with excellent facts. Somewhere amongst what I was reading linked back to here (actually, I'm not entirely sure which I found first, this or there, but whatever), and I've found myself just trawling thru things since, and been very impressed with the level of debate ion here, and the ability to stick to the DAMN FACTS! (something many others seem incapable of)

I've spent the last several weeks catching up on threads (reading the 911 Conspiracy thread started by delphi_ote (many thanks, most excellent and informative, I learned a great deal of factual data and sources from that thread and it's offspring), and have been looking around, feeling very pleased with the state of the place. Is nice to find a place where logic and reason are the order of the day. :)

As for me, just turned 38, currently living in Western Australia (the opposite side of the country to where I originated), and always reading, reading, reading, looking to learn more.

I'll be around, but I'm trying to familiarise myself as much as I can so I limit just how much of an ass I make out of myself. See you all; around. Cheers

Hello from Sweden. I have been reading this forum for so many years I have forgotten how I found it, but I am pretty sure I was researching something about scepticism. I probably spend most time at the CT-subforums, especially the invaluable collection of information about 9/11, but I have found lots of interesting discussions all over the place. I have finally decided to register as a user, not because I plan on doing a lot of debating (that isn't really one of my strengths), but i thought that I may wan't to say at least something about some issues. It's nice to finally be a part of the forum (hopefully that feeling will last for a while...)

Hi, everyone. I'm brand spankin' new to the JREF forums today! I found this place by searching for intelligent discussion forums. I got tired of the other boards I'm a part of, and I'm looking for some interesting and stimulating conversation. I've been recently trying to keep my creative juices flowing - if you don't use it, you lose it, right?
Just tryin to stay sharp! And my new boyfriend is really intelligent, so I have to keep up...

What is this place coming to? A female newbie arrives talking of spanking and not even a single spicy risqué double entendre from the lot of you?

I've come to expect more. This is the JREFF Harass the New Meat thread, after all. And c'mon nerds. It's another Skepchick. They're harder to come by than a sommelier at an AA meeting.

FloatingLotus, I apologize for my fellow miscreants. They must be off their feed. (Grayman hasn't been around with cookies for a while so they're forced to eat those horrid Minties and Tim Tams.)

Like all geek/nerds, we generally greet a new female with a good deal of snickering and posturing. We will try harder in the future.

I know what you mean, but unlike some people I have seen here, I actually take some pride in knowing what I'm talking about before I talk about it, so to speak. Probably won't stop me from messing up from time to time though.

But you are right, given some of the posts you see around here, I guess I shouldn't worry too much about that.

You do eat shrimp. You just call them prawns. :)

The Wikipedia article notes that it was an editorial decision so that Americans would know what he was talking about. That makes it more insulting to me because it presumes Americans are too stupid, if they weren't familiar with the word prawn, to look it up in a dictionary.

[Elypsis44]

Just wanted to say hello!

I've lurked here and read for about a month, thought I may as well participate. Although I will freely admit I lack the debate skills that some of you posess!

I am interested in shooting and the outdoors. I am currently working on two degrees, one in Criminal Justice, the other in Crime Scene Investigation/Latent Evidence. I was an MP in the US Army.

I am a moderator at a gun forum, and am constantly subjected to the stereotypes that come with it; all gun owners must be Conservative (read Republican), god-fearing, Palin-loving, etc. Sometimes I feel really out of place.

I do not believe in God or gods, ghosts, etc. I try to place reason and logic firmly in her seat (ala Thomas Jefferson) with anything I see, read or hear.

Thanks for having me!

SCOFF fears that he is becoming senile with his constant insistance on eating Cats and Hamsters (SCOFF has taken Hamsters under its protective umbrella as well as Cats). SCOFF is dedicated to rescuing the unfortunate Cats (and, now, Hamsters too) from the hands of a probably senile madman who wants to serve them to poor, unsuspecting Newbs. End the Madness! Oppose the Colonel! Join SCOFF and fight the crazy old man.

End the Madness!

On a not-quite related thought: I occasionally wonder whether cats blend - usually when they break out of the other end of the house and demand breakfast at an obscenely early hour.

Hello everyone! Been reading posts on the JREF for a long time and finally joined so I could shoot my mouth off and get in trouble for my opinions :-D
Well, now, unless I've missed something, it looks as if they're all so busy talking about cooking cats that there is not yet a 'Welcome Pteranodon' post, so hope this one will be suitable.:)

It was a cat that ate my best and biggest silver fish in my pond. If I had caught it, it's entrails would be scattered all over the neighborhood :p.

Well because of people like me, people like you have the freedom to say what you want and I know a lot of people woud disagree with you. My service record speaks for it self and for you to say something like that and mention my rank and service which has nothing to do with this forum ,shows you have no respect for us Veteran. And I am just doing this because it is fun and you seem to get all upset over it .BTW I am not Senile, but I am sick and my sickness comes from serving my country. So until you have been there and done that please don't disrespect us Veterans you have no clue, To what we have been thru . I also apologize to the mods if this is out of place ,but as I said insuting a person over their service to their country has no place here in the forum.

I was out of line and had no right to say to you what I said. My only (feeble) excuse is that I was upset at something personal when I posted and typed before my mind engaged. I was thinking (more like emotioning) along the lines of "my father would never have done that." He is my ideal military person.

I do appreciate the service of veterans; my father was a veteran of both Korea and Vietnam, and as a child I lived on a Navy base during Vietnam. I remember too many fathers killed or missing (including my next door neighbor) to believe that service to country is not worthy of respect. I again apologize for impugning your service.

I'm sure you are not senile; I'm sorry that you are sick, and especially sorry that it is as a result of your service to your country. I'm sorry that I went too far with what started as an "insult the Colonel" joke.

I made this apology in the thread instead of a PM because I insulted you in the thread. I'm sorry for the derail, but I felt I owed you a public apology. I am also sorry for taking the fun out of something you enjoy so much.

I will still be a member of SCOFF, and will still try to keep Cats and Hamsters off the menu, but I will try very hard not to cross the line between good fun and meanness in my efforts

That said, you and amb (whom I also, obviously, adore) aren't off the hook for serving up cat and hamster :D. Heh heh. I, too, will remain a SoCal Oppossing Feline Filleting.

Percent, btw, is still enjoying the hamster amb gave her in early October. Newbs, you will have months of joy with the hamsters and cats you don't eat. Grill them and the fun is soon over. Sigh.

Hi USEagle13. I say go for the minties, btw. Save a few for the pet hamster you can also collect. But be careful with the hamsters as they seem to be breeding in the corridors. (Hence the endless supply and need to unload them.)

Hamsters make nice 1st pets for children. Cats are real teasey at times, and rabbit sounds good right now. They are in season along with squirrels also.

Never tried Goat milk but I like Feta cheese.

Colonel do you know how to cook Armadillo?

I, personally, enjoy the SMMAT threads. To get the hang of posting, you can always check out the humor threads in Community. Percent played with her hamster there for a few days and learned a lot about nerves, posting, nerves, hamster poo, silly and wonderful members, etc.

First welcome USEagle13 and the answer to your question ( pause for drum roll )

BAKED OR BARBECUED ARMADILLO RECIPE
2 lbs. armadillo meat
1 stick oleo or butter
Lemon juice
Dash onion salt
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Lemon pepper to taste

Season with salt, pepper, lemon pepper, lemon juice, and rub with butter. Wrap in foil and bake at 325 degrees F. for approximately 45 minutes. Remove foil, add more butter and brown. For barbecued armadillo, baste with barbecue sauce over grill after removing foil.

[USEagle13]

Yes! Love the barbecued dilla! Nice touch....you can never go wrong with a lil barbecue sauce!

BTW avoid the ones with sores....supposed to be sum form of dilla lepracy or sumin!

i saw him in an interview with ricardo rocha, and after duplicating some of the uri geller tricks ricardo kept saying that perhaps james randi had the same kind of powers as uri geller but was trying to trick everybody into believing something else... and i was thinking to myself, "how thick can a skull be?"

@TubbaBlubba Not too far away, in Lerum.Welcome to JREF, uncommonman. I would like to invite you to join SoCal Opposing Feline Filleting (SCOFF), a wonderful organization doing good work in the Welcome thread.

If, however, you persist in your intention to consume cats, SCOFF will do everything in its power to forestall you. In addition, we will place you on our newly created (just now) and already infamous WATCH LIST, so be warned. Besides, a nice California Roll or Cheese and Bean Burrito would taste much better.

[uncommonman]

@CT Thanks for the fanfare

@FattyCatty As, for the cat fare, cooking does not necessarily imply eating, and this is also true when it comes to Norwegians. Even if there is plenty of meat on the Norwegian Forest Cat, I would never eat a Norwegian - in any sense of the word(s). I'll stick to sushi and mexican food at least until I'm off the (dreaded) watch list.

I'm glad to hear you plan to stick to sushi and Mexican food instead of cat.

I'm a little concerned about your willingness to cook cats even if you don't eat them, so I'll have to consult with other SCOFF members as to whether or not that is watch-list worthy.

Anyway, enjoy yourself at JREF; there are pictures of cats in the Forum Community thread, although I don't remember any Norwegian Forest Cats offhand. I'm not sure if this is one or not.
