Hi. My name is Facial, and I come from the small world of Sciforums (if you go on SF you might know me from there).

My name has several well-known connotations, and you may interpret it as any of them, or a combination thereof since I really don't care (btw, I am male).

Nice meeting you all.:smile:

Welcome Facial!
my first thought was mmmph mmph mmpph, but you know how some people around here think about mmph. Especially when I start mmmph mmph mmph underneath mmph mmph about mmph. Guess how many mmph mmph into mmph mmph a mmph?
lol
7 one to mmph and 6 mmph mmph mmph.
 
Welcome Facial!

No, not too many people here venture into sciforums, you will find this a much different type of place. I hope you enjoy it here. :smile:
 
Welcome Facial! I'm glad to see we don't have to decorate tribdog in any more lace curtains here, despite the set-up he's just dying to respond to. :smile: *wraps tribdog in another layer of duct tape*

That's plenty-o-pink for a manly male. It puts hair on your chest. :biggrin:

So... why don't you tell us all about these connotations... we are a curious bunch.

When I worked at the Texas Gate (that stupid cowboy bar), and my darts team played primarily in Calgary, I deliberately bought pink shirts for us just for the sake of pissing off the cowboys. It bugged them, but they knew better than to mess with us. :biggrin:

Welcome aboard Facial. While I'm not familiar with the site that you mentioned, I can assure you that this is the absolute best science area that you could hope for.

I'm sorry, but I can't stop laughing at this. I'm a degenerate, I know.

Evo! What did you do to poor little tribdog and why don't you do it more often?

she would have to talk to me to do anything to me and she's STILL not talking to me.

I could be wrong, but I strongly suspect someone around here is walking around with only one sock. I've been assured by my prime suspect that they're innocent. But I believe that if a thing seems too good to be true, it is.

How the heck was "Facial" an available name?

There may still be hope, run for your life!

Two days later, and "Facial" has not posted one single additional post anywhere: I say sock puppet.

There's a distinct possibility. Should I rile up the villagers and have them grab their torches and pitch forks?

Actually, looking back over the past year, no one that has introduced themselves here and were "warmly welcomed" stayed, most never returned. :redface:

No, but I notice neither of them named themselves "Facial".

That's true. It seems that only those who slowly insinuate themselves without fanfare end up staying.

Maybe we need to try smacking them with the welcome fish instead of just allowing them to select one from the bucket out back? They are finding the bucket when we send them there, right? I mean, you just have to follow your nose until you detect the aroma of fish left out in the hot sun; they couldn't miss that, could they? :rolleyes:

Slapping the salmon? Is that what they're calling it these days?

Thats seriously disgusting on a level I almost thought was not possible. Almost as bad as pesto salmon. I mean really, pesto salmon? WTF?

My profound apologies. In the future I'll limit myself to levels of disgustingness you already realize are possible.

Because of your username. What would happen if they put another line on your username? Nothing, we just see 2 lines (or perhaps a larger line)!o:)
