Heyz Josh, nice to meet ya. There's a little list of questions that would be neat for you to answer if you don't mind, it's at the top of the introduction page. I'd give you the link to it, but I'm too lazy to go get it, copy it and then paste it here. Eh, I'll post it in an edit so it's easier to find. But it's just something polite for newcomers to do so we get to know a little bit about you.

Follow that link to the usual questions that we ask newcomers. Answer them, try not to use the word "Gay" or "Retard" as an insult and you'll get on with most people here. So, I say welcome and give ya a big man hug if you're a guy or a not-so-manly welcoming hug if you are a lady.
