Welcome, Jack_! Good to have you here!

Even if you aren't sure what to say, there's always something happening in Forum Community! Or perhaps the Humor section. Either one.

Jack_ · 2nd November 2009, 04:07 PM

Thank you.

I shall crawl before I can walk.

Scyldemort · 2nd November 2009, 04:09 PM

Hey. I'm Paul. I've been going to TAM for the last two years, and it never really occurred to me to get on the forums before now. O_o

Well, at least you're here now.

grandmastershek · 2nd November 2009, 05:32 PM

Hi all.I am Bill. I am not so new to the JREF, I have lurked here and there, primarily 9/11 stuff, and recently decided to join. I am out of work social studies teacher. I majored in history/ed. and minored in philosophy. I am currently getting my MSEd. My primary interests here are conspiracy theories. I became a rationalist a few years ago when I slowly began to realize logic and science had more to offer than my religious beliefs.

Nice to have you with us, Bill, and sorry to hear that you're out of work. But we're always glad to have another rationalist with us!

Femke · 3rd November 2009, 10:01 AM

Well, this is wonderful, so many new arrivals!

Please make your good selves at home, take off your southwestern/fur hat/sombrero/sun screen/<insert appropriate headwear>, hang up your raincoat/umbrella/parasol/hawaii shirt/<insert appropriate outdoor garment>, pull up a thread of your liking and start enjoying our little island of rationality here.

Where are my manners? Have a minty, some cookies, and a glass of fresh goats milk, and if you see the goat, give it a friendly pat on the head and send it to Colonel.

And now off to Forum community and start upping those post counts!

LostCatSoda · 4th November 2009, 06:20 PM

Been lurking for some time. A lot of great reads in the Forums.

Was a kid who believed in everything and anything. Age and experience made me a pretty solid atheist and skeptic. Though I would be *thrilled* if indisputable proof of Ghosts, Bigfoots, UFO's, Black Helicopters .... were ever produced! Until then I shall debunk and critically think out the Boogie Men.

Anyhow, Hello.

Yes, you have to crawl to the mighty Zoroaster before you stand and walk!

Welcome all new bloods! the vampires were getting mighty thirsty. Glad you can supply them with new blood, they may now leave us alone for a while.

Triglypha · 5th November 2009, 09:06 AM

Hi all - I've been lurking here for a long time, and thought it was high time I finally introduced myself. I grew up Catholic, but never really believed any of it; I remember feeling a vague embarrassment every time I went to church with my parents. When I finally figured out where the embarrassment was coming from, I realized I had been an atheist all along.

I tried really hard to believe in ESP and paranormal phenomena when I was a teenager, but, alas, my skeptical nature won out there as well.

Welcome afrer reading this resume I think you will fit right in . Now go have a glass of goats milk ,a cookie and a MINTIE and wait by the green door . seeing as you are a friend of Pure Arget I will have him show you to your room . be nice and pat the goat on the head if you meet up with it.

I wouldn't say "friend" so much as "total archenemies", but sure, I'll show him to his room. On the way, perhaps we could view my sharp objects collection...?

:P

Arkyrion · 6th November 2009, 04:43 PM

Yes, well, that's because you normally do not call someone your archenemy while occupied with stabbing them to death with a broken bottle. It just doesn't have the same zippy quality as "************ ***********".

Arkyrion · 7th November 2009, 05:56 PM

"Broken bottle?" Is that what you're calling it now?

That's right. Make the new blood wait to find out what they're really gonna deal with.

COLONEL · 9th November 2009, 04:59 AM

Well I guess we will have to keep them locked in their rooms until they learn to play nice together or kill one another

amb · 9th November 2009, 05:56 AM

If it's a duel they want. Be here tomorrow at dawn, and please choose your weapons before arriving. You shall be back to back, walk 20 paces, turn and fire. May the best man win a packet of Minties.

Arkyrion · 9th November 2009, 09:20 AM

Is a Rocket Launcher an acceptable dueling weapon? I forget.

Pure_Argent · 9th November 2009, 10:04 AM

I know what I want.

...or the trusty Bio Rifle, a.k.a. Goop Gun. Either works.

"New blood" here if that is the preferred title for new members.

EclecticSkeptic here. You may already know my DH, CriticalThanking. I'm a former physics/math high school teacher. I currently tutor and craft.

Prometheus · 9th November 2009, 07:11 PM

Welcome ES! What sort of craft?

EclecticSkeptic · 9th November 2009, 07:26 PM

I do a bit of a lot of things. If it's interesting to me, I may try it. Currently I have been making some home decor from a sycamore tree that turned up its toes in our recent drought, I do some photographic art and I design a wide range of jewelry from a variety of materials. Since I'm brand new, I can't give you a link, but if you want to see some of my items, you can visit, www dot craftgawker dot com/post/archive/eclecticdesignchoices/ .

Northern_warrior · 10th November 2009, 02:43 AM

Hello ,ive been lurking in this forum for some time now,so Im guessing its time to make an account and introduce myself..
I expecially valued the constant debunking of the so called 9/11 truth movement"..that people can be so stupid in this day and age are beyond me..
Furthermore im a US/norwegian double citizen..and an ISAF veteran..thank you that is all for now..

justcharlie09 · 10th November 2009, 11:43 AM

Hi,

I'm Charlie, a mom to 3 (almost 4 kids) and a skeptic that still holds onto a modern version of Christianity (don't worry, I'm okay with evolution and probably like creationists less than most atheists do...if that's possible). That said, I got kicked out of my last church for not being mean-spirited or superstitious enough (thought picketing homosexuals and/or abortion clinics was wrong--go figure). Fan of Carl Sagan, The Skeptic, and even a bit of Penn & Teller (can't go for *some* for the Bible-bashing or the Libertarian schtick, but generally like them).

I studied psychology as an undergrad and will try to start grad school sometime next year in informatics. Hopefully.

I live in the US and....not sure what else to say other than I'm a bit of an oddball. It's not so much by choice as by happenstance.

Arkyrion · 10th November 2009, 04:39 PM

A warm welcome to my fellow Oddball. And also to Northern. Glad to have you aboard the Logic train.

That said, I got kicked out of my last church for not being mean-spirited or superstitious enough (thought picketing homosexuals and/or abortion clinics was wrong--go figure). Fan of Carl Sagan, The Skeptic, and even a bit of Penn & Teller (can't go for some for the Bible-bashing or the Libertarian schtick, but generally like them). I studied psychology as an undergrad and will try to start grad school sometime next year in informatics. Hopefully. I live in the US and....not sure what else to say other than I'm a bit of an oddball. It's not so much by choice as by happenstance.
