Title: Stand at ease!
Post by: tanstaafl on January 02, 2011, 03:26:08 PM: Good afternoon. Ladies, gentlemen, lurkers. Since I was a young boy, knee-high to tall Indian, I have dreamed of one day joining an organization of such prestige, such fortitude and of such a mission as you have all endeavored.

So I come to you, CC'ers. Armed with rapier wit, mind like steel trap, eyes like hawk.

Looking forward to many hours of frolicking in the mire that is the DUMPSTER.

I say to you.....

Jump on. I have donned my battle tested asbestos underwear and hoist my shield made of "What? Me worry".

Hopefully, thanks for having me on board.

No malicious intent behind the question; just simply for market research, to figure out what brings people here.

And by the way, welcome.

Read your Christmas story. Interested me because I'm NW of the Sandhills, Campbell County WY.

Not trying to suck up, but Nebraska is my favorite state of being.

Well, there's a wide variety of people here, including grouches.

Not many, but some.

Just go with the flow.

chris_ is pretty laid back and mellow, an inspiration to all of us.

Post by: Carl on January 02, 2011, 04:19:27 PM: Welcome to CC,we are a little more laid back then FR but also a bit more personal.
That happens with a (for now) small size.

Hoping you enjoy yourself! :cheersmate:

Post by: tanstaafl on January 02, 2011, 07:15:04 PM: I wish to thank all of you for the gracious welcome.
I have recognized some names from my days of lurking around the DUMPSTER. Hope I have several chances to converse with y'all soon.
Others I haven't yet had the pleasure of acquainting with. But I'm sure that the odd occasion will arise where we sit under our respective shade trees, or on our patios and commisserate on the happy/sad yappings of the prims on the island, butt-munchers all.

Regards, and remember

You said: "You live in Gillette? Poor bastard."

I've only got six more months, been here exactly one year. I don't think it so bad.
I luvs to shoot the little burrowing critters. And there seems to be a lot of them around these parts.

Yup. That's who it is. Reminds me of my Dad. When I was at college, he would end his letters with "Always Remember, TANSTAAFL. Love, Dad."
