Welcome rcmacdonald(it's not in official welcome unless it's done by psycho 101)

Finally someone who like me, loves anime and...Hates,no detest country music. seriously that blasphemy is not audible,listening to that noise kills me inside. And I live in Texas(unfortunately).


Just so all know I'm not the "official" welcome guy. There actually isn't one. I'm like the official unofficial welcome guy.....if that even makes sense. Anime dazed Truth be told abominaSion I don't even remember how I started this lol. After so many welcomes I just sorta forgot why I started in the first place hehe. Oh and while I don't "hate" it country music is second to last on my list of music to listen to. The first place spot is reserved for what I call "most new rap that sounds the same and is not original." Anyways on to more welcomes. Very Happy

So a big welcome to retty, eternaltorture, rcmacdonald, Mindphlux, Blackmoonlight, and jigoku_hime. There's sure been a surge in new people lately, well new people posting here and saying they're new anyway. Is there some campaign drive I'm unaware of? I see most of you have started posting elsewhere on the forums so keep it up. Fresh new ideas and posts are always welcomed. As part of the official unofficial welcome you all get you're very own mystery grab bag of goodies. ::hands them each a brown paper bag:: So on this evening you all have such illustrious items as a old and totally dirty used air filter from a car, the letter S patch from the logo of a "Dickies" zip up hoody, the little round stopper that keeps the weights on the barbel from a weight set my friend was getting rid of, and 2 left over peppers each from a bottle of homemade hot sauce I made that's been sitting in my pantry for over a year (I finally strained and bottled the sauce). I have no idea if eating those is even safe, heck they may even be combustible at this point and have enough energy in them to power a nuclear reactor. Shocked While you ponder over what to do with those fabulous items don't forget these words of wisdom I found just today; Sex is like art. Most of it is pretty bad, and the good stuff is out of your price range.

Hey Mike, welcome. Those are very interesting band names and I've never heard of most of them, but if they are anything like NIN I'd probably like them. Given your other interests I'm guessing they probably are, so would you classify some of those as industrial or goth type of music? Which I like and am constantly looking out for new favorites.

More fresh meat for the grinder hehe. Almost time for Thanksgiving so it's nice to have a bunch of new members we can stuff the turkey with.....I mean help stuff the turkey....yea. Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop So a nice big welcome to WTFAnimeGEek, athrun_ryoma, suna_suna, Depraved, and Veoryn87. Nice to see you've all started posting elsewhere on the site, even if one of you has rather abnormal food choices in their diet. As part of your welcome though you'll all now get your very own mystery welcome bag of goodies. ::hands them each a brown bag:: You lucky chaps are the proud owners a used car air freshener (one of those tree shaped ones), 2 nails bent into an S shape, 2 random bones from a rotisserie chicken, and 3 leaves from a Green Ficus tree. I hope you enjoy those wonderful gifts and while you post here ponder these words of wisdom; I remember when legal used to mean lawful, now it means some kind of loophole.

I think he means that the law doesn't seem so reliable, since it seems that more people are not being convicted at trial anymore because they're getting off on a legal loophole, which is also known as a technicality. Smile

BTW, I like your avatar. I love the golden tones in the pic and Ed Elric is one of my favorite anime heroes. Smile

It's not my quote actually. Some are and some aren't. That one isn't mine but one I found. I wish I could remember the guy who said it but I can't. For me however, being a criminal justice major actually, it means that there's too many weasel lawyers who get off murderers, rapists, and the like through little minute loopholes. So instead of justice it's all about how a cop said one word wrong in the Miranda Rights so the rapists gets off because his confession isn't admissible in court since he wasn't fully aware of his rights, and letting the confession in just wouldn't be fair now would it? That's all I plan to say on that since it's way OT but feel free to PM me.

Oh and you're quite welcome WTFAnimeGEek. And don't worry, it will be delicious. Once I fill you, and the other new posters, with some sage, garlic, and other herbs and stuff that turkey and baste it I know it'll be delicious. Wink
