View Full Version : A New forumer approaches...

Hello everyone,
I did have a quick look for the "introductions" thread, but either i'm not looking hard enough or I'd rather have one to myself - hard to tell.
Anyway, I'm a 3rd year undergrad student studying Mathematics and Physics (prolly more a physics dude but when in Rome...) with varying nerdy interests of different kinds. "ground_effect" for e.g. comes from a love of F1, and not because I've done any fluids stuff or actual aerodynamics. Plus it's a cool name - shame on your community for not using it earlier!
I guess i'm really posting so as to give an alternate first impression to: "poor guy isn't very good at QM is he?", which is the one you'd get from reading my next couple of posts.
Anyway, thanks for reading if you did, and have a nice day.

Hmm, 'Forumite' seems to be the more commonplace word, but it gets one as well. Ah well, I like making up words, makes me feel like a fantasy author.

It doesn't count if I have to ASK for it... I want you to want to welcome me!

Like Evo said, we need to know what your favorite fish is. Then we can welcome you properly.
[Added: oops, you're not the person who started this thread, who Evo was talking to. That's what you get for horning in on someone else's thread.]

My name is cooler.

I'd use forumer instead of forumite, forumion, or forumanian because we commonly use PFer.

Favorite fish as far as what?
Salmon have made me the most money
Fresh halibut tastes the best
Cuttle fish are the cutest. Ok, maybe theyre not fish...

Dare I ask?
No, i don't
Make it an Atlantic Salmon if you can't find a Magikarp...
Edit: I didn't post up my hw problem because when I was transcribing it I realised that I'd been misreading it (I know, I know, first time for everything). Fear not, i'll stick around anyway - ty for all the welcomes.

Well, I can honestly say that is the first time that has ever happened to me. An interesting feeling to be sure.
So, uh, what are the ethics on retaliation around here? I don't wanna get suspended on my first trip to the playground...

The first time for me was in chat (usually chat is open every Sunday, sometimes Saturday). If you come in chat for around 100 (1000?) times or so, they slap you with a whale.

I have no idea, I never tried retaliating. I just wait for new people to come along so I can see what it's like to be the fishslapper.
But it probably wouldn't get you suspended, just a couple tons of fish back at you...
Fear not, i'll stick around anyway
Are you a piece of gum? It sticks to stuff.

Yeah, that was lame. :rolleyes:

Hrmm...this sounds a bit fishy...
I wonder if "Crushed by a whale" is covered by my life insurance?
Make it an Atlantic Salmon
Ah, good choice!

Oooh, I hope your health insurance is up to date! :uhh:

Yeah, I feel like I got off lightly. Glad it was you that slapped me and not Evo...
So, I guess... Thanks for slapping me with that mackerel, broham.
