Hi,

I'm new to the forums (well, I did post one other post when I registered last week or so) and thought I'd introduce myself. I kind of feel weird writing this actually, but I think I'd feel more awkward just randomly inserting myself into the conversation (wait, am I doing that right now?). Anyway, I'm currently a third year physics undergraduate in Canada. *twiddles thumbs*

Okay, that's all I got for now.

*slides away*

Hello, Bienvenue etc to PF. I'm sure someone will be along presently with your fish (best not to ask). :smile:
 
Welcome to the forum xfoo!

What's your favorite fish?
 
Hi xfoo! No need to feel uncomfortable, folks here are pretty nice :smile: .
 
Welcome! (Don't worry about the fish. Its a one time thing.)

I'm sure you will enjoy the forums.
 
Oh, err... I don't really have a favourite fish, but I like goldfish!

Welcome to PF, xfoo.

Thumb twiddling is a popular competitive sport at PF. You're probably just in time for tryouts. Do you twiddle singles or doubles?
 
Welcome to PF, Xfoo.
You Yanks had better watch your backs; another Canuk in the fray. We'll have you outnumbered soon. :devil:
 
Welcome Xfoo!

Goldfish!

Ok.

You have been officially fishwacked and initiated into the forum.

Goldfish, geeze. :biggrin:

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. I think I'll go with doubles twiddling -- keeps my brain in check. Sort of.

Evo: Good thing I didn't say sunfish otherwise I might be unconscious by now... ! But a puny goldfish, heh, can't do much harm. :D

That depends upon how it's applied. Believe me, you don't want to test Evo's imagination.

Aha! I see the treachery!

But I'm ok with being slapped with an angelfish.
Or...not...lol.

Welcome, I'm new too :]
