New Member Introductions Thread

[Greg]

Going to move this to Miscellaneous. I'm also going to make this the official introductions thread. Perhaps this will encourage some more lurkers to join the fun.

 

[smitty77]

I'm 23, hold a BS and an MS from WPI and work for FM Global as a fire protection engineer. I currently live in the small farming town of Woodstock, CT in the extreme north eastern part of CT (thats extreme directionally, there's nothing else extreme about the town save for our bovine population).

Hey Marc, I'm also a WPI grad (civil engineering, class of 2000) and a former volunteer EMT. I don't ski though. (Ducking the masses of tomatoes hurled in my general direction)

[Marc]

Thanks, guys, I don't know about an increase of posting during the ski season though.

I'll have to turn into a crazy digital photographer to keep up my posting... which of course is going to require a digital camera I suppose... :dunce:


Hey Smitty, I won't hold it against you that you don't ski

Some of us are just more enlightened... :beer:


PS I think I have a better chance at buying my own ski area than I do surpassing Greg's post count.

oh, thank God I have found you. I've got your back. They don't call me noski for nothin' you know...

It must suck to live in the MRV and be a boarder, doesn't the MRG ban really piss you off??





















:lol: Just kidding... :lol: :beer:

You big lunk. I do not ski. nor board. The tomatoes heading my way will be significantly larger than smittys. But we had this conversation once in the "how did you select your username" thread. I know from there that it is ok I am here. One can be a very, very good friend of skiing (a couple of you can vouch for me) and not actually have to DO it. I tried it. SB & MRG. It wasn't for me.

Actually I am kind of a big lunk.

I know you don't do either, I remember it being brought up a time or two before... I was just having a little fun, hence the:

So...does this mean I can edit the database manually to change your username to "BigLunk"? :lol:

I was thinking about asking you to do that... I'll back to you

 

[Marc]

Yes well, what else do I have to do on my lunch breaks...


Obviously they need to give me more work to do... wait, that's not something I should be wishing for.




Well anyway, I figured posting here and having my computer write back to me is better than talking to myself and having the voices in my head talk back to me...

:dunce:

I am going to try a little dogsledding this year. I've only got one pup, so she'll be pulling a sled with the little one on it. I don't think she has enough in her to tow my fat arse around. Now if I can convince the wife to let me get 3 more dogs..... :roll:

And you skiers are not more enlightened than me, you just have bigger paychecks. Money is really the only thinkg that kept me from taking up skiing. My dad Max was a hell of a skier. He probably still is, though he hasn't gone in years due to back problems. He used to work at Sugarbush as a ski bum long before I entered the picture.

Look what you did, ruined your father's career. Shame on you...

Well, just like my dad says to me "You know, it's still not too late to have you aborted, son."

Down to 8.31 posts per day...come on, Marc. You're slipping. Time to get crackin'!

My name is Andy, I'm a skier/poster.

What am I thinking?!

I need to program a Marc bot to say things I would so he can come here and post in my absence. I was too busy sailing and doing 'other things' this weekend to post much. I'll try not to screw up again.

I wish I could take credit for that. No, a nasty fall while skiing that resulted in a slipped disk in his back is what "ended" his career. He still skied afterwards, not not as aggressively.

I thought I might note for new people or people who weren't aware, there are some other old introduction threads floating around in Misc Disc that you can read if you want to get to know the member base. Here is the most recent one:
