Hello, I'm not new to this forum but this is my first introduction. I've browsing through the forum for about 3 years when my friend first introduced me to this site. I hope to contribute to this great community because I've gained a lot of knowledge through this site and hope to pass my knowledge too.

Yep I do like fish though I never about my favorite type of fish before. I would have to say its the Blobfish...naw just kidding. I took some time to look up that fish and its exceptionally strange. But my favorite fish would have to be salmon. Why? Cause my mom makes some delicious food with salmon. I appreciate the salmon for being so tasty. Haha

And I've never seen Monty Python with Dutch subtitles before. I think it adds to the zany atmosphere. (with apologies to our Dutch and Flemish friends here :uhh:)
