Noob Here

TheyCallMeManiX · 06-28-2005, 10:36 AM

Hi, i posted a huge long first timer post and this stupid thing logged me out cause i didnt post after two seconds and it deleted my whole post.

so here is my new post, sorry you missed the first one(it was really good) but this one will have to be short and sweet . . . well maybe just short.

i didnt know where else to post this cause i didnt see a "dumb noobs post here" section so here it is.

hi, im new to the forum(not to the software or forums in general) and hope to make some new friends and learn more about cigars. if you'd like to know more about me please ask

this is my blog: 5x50.blogspot.com [/blatant shameless advertising of my blog OFF] it's updated every other day or so cause im lazy.

i started my cigar hobby about a year and a half ago or so, i cant remember ( i have a real bad memory)

im 24, married with a 2 yr old. i like photography, deep sea fishing, blues and rock and country
im currently going back to school to finish my triple doctorate in ceramic figurine engineering( i'm kidding-im going back for my dual B.S in Business/M.B.A.)

what else? i cant think of anything right now so you'll just have to find out later.

oh yeah, to the admin/owner(s) of the site: thanks for doing this and thanks to the members for keeping it alive.

anyone on here in or near miami and not an @$$hole(can i cuss on here?) or a prick??

awesome, in that case, i will be doing all my posting from this thread. even when i respond to other threads, i will just come back to this one and post. you will all have to search through this thread to find your . . . ehh forget it, im too lazy to finish the joke.

ok so one last question i guess and the rest ill pick up along the way i hope. . . anything special i should know about the threads? e.g. i noticed one thread started on post 23 and i quadruple checked to make sure i was on page 1(????) some glitch in the software?

**CoventryCat86** · 06-28-2005, 12:43 PM

Which thread? Could have been a thread where a moderator or the site admin deleted some posts. If you tell us which specific one, we can tell you the gory details

**ggiese** · 06-28-2005, 01:05 PM

Welcome!!! Glad you found us!!

I'm the OTHER asshole on the board (besides CC) when they talk about MOST members here!!! (although you've yet to meet SFG75 - he's on vacation right now recharging his batteries and thinking of some new ways to bust some chops - he'll be along shortly, trust me)

TheyCallMeManiX · 06-28-2005, 01:51 PM

it was some post about a lamp? the post started out on number 23 and it was a quote about divorce and went on to comment how the words divorce and bargain shouldnt be used in the same sentence or something like that . . . then others continued to talk about some lamp that burns alchohol????? sorry, thats the best i could remember

thanks ggies . . . ill keep a look out lol

**Bkcloud114** · 06-28-2005, 02:07 PM

Sticklers about post whoring ??? I we gave a shit about post whoring CC would not have over 800+ posts.

Stay away from CC..... and watch your spelling and grammar, and if ya don't... CC will.

The only real asshole on the board right now is Spencer..... but that is another thread
