Don't blame me, it's my first day

[Hawknc]

Or, if I was feeling less creative, my introduction thread. (Mods/mentors please feel free to relocate or lock this thread as neceesary if I've posted it in the wrong place.)

I'm Nathan, and I'm currently midway through my fourth year of a double degree in aerospace and mechanical engineering down here in Australia. I'm also interested in physics (at both the very large and very small scales), so signing up here seemed like a logical progression after lurking here and reading a few discussions. I mod at another fairly large forum so I probably have no excuse if my e-manners are out of line. ;) You'll most likely find me lurking and asking silly questions in the mech & aero eng forums, so...hi.

 

[Evo]

Welcome to PF Hawknc! This is the right place to say hi.

If you're lucky there might still be some fish left in the PF Welcome Tent. Feel free to take one.

Welcome to pff, Hawknc!

G'day Nathan, and welcome to PF. As Evo mentioned, you posted in the right spot.

We look forward to interesting discussion in the Mech & Aero Engineering forums, and others as well.

In addition to fish, we might have some Vegemite sangers.

Cheers!

 

[Hawknc]

Like most engineers, just give me a beer and I'll be fine. ;)

 

[JamesU]

Welcome to PF...now that you've posted in General Discussion...You NEVER go back...

Welcome to PF, Hawknc! Sure - go ahead and have a beer!11 However, it's good to know that when one of the PF Sisterhood offers you a welcome fish, you'd better say "THANK YOU"!111 You see, we are Nuns with Guns (DANG!11 - I can't find that picture! Can anyone help me out here?) and TOTALLY run this show (from our barstools).

[JamesU]

Here you go.

I'll take what I can get...


...does that come in blue?

 

[brewnog]

Word up dude, welcome, one more engineer to add to the brigade!


Do you know Kylie?

 

[Astronuc]

The last time I checked it 'Dos Equis' was

Yomamma, you have to be able to reach the bar before you can have one.

Does anyone remember Tres Equis, or is it my imagination. I think Tres Equis was a dark beer.

Personally I prefer Guinness Stout or Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout or other stouts, and Chimay Ale's.

 

[JamesU]

I think at 6 feet tall, I can reach the bar just fine

 

[Astronuc]

Yom, I hope you know I'm kidding about the size, but your still too young for a beer.

 

[brewnog]

Too young for a beer?! I won't hear of such impiousness!

 

[Moonbear]

Yomamma can have an Uno Equis (the other Equis is the half with the alcohol ).

Welcome to PF, Hawk! Now that you have your welcome fish and a beer, please don't feed the penguins. If you do, they never go away.

 

[JamesU]

then I'll have a corona

 

[Hawknc]

Many thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. I'll just avoid all wildlife for the moment to be safe...
