Well, I only have it because we had a H. Giger weekend and I liked it so much that I decided to keep it all the week. But my usual avatar is way cuter, the silly Lilah of Control-Alt-Del

I have finally, at the age of 30, started a fire under my ass and began studying part-time. I've finished my first module and a small side course that's necessary for my next module, everything looking good so far, have yet to drop under 85%. I'm on my way to becoming one of the worlds most boring people: An Accountant!

Here in the forums we sometimes do "theme weekends" but it's mostly the Weird regulars who do that. This time not so many of us changed-
DoT, I have to admit I dislike the account related things, but I respect people who can do that. All the best for you, DoT!

Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, with a minor in Philosophy.  Now I have my full Professional Engineer credential (think the Bar Exam or your medical license, only for engineers) and am a practicing engineer in the field of Industrial Instrumentation and Control Systems.

Hiya CP
Weird is a thread where most anything, (Save TT topics) can be talked about.
And goofyness may ensue and often does.
No particular structure to it.
It isn't dedicated to one of JBs series or what JB is up to.
Nor is it the Writing section.
(TT = Touchy Topics.  Certain topics we stay clear of - Politics, religion except in JBs stories, sex as the site
is PG-13, other stuff that might bring on a firestorm.)

Yes, I remember having talked with you before, I thought it has been in Weird.
Well, "Weird" is a thread in the "Bar" section, which is renewed every week. It's where many of us spend the time chatting about all sort sort of things. You are welcome there!
And, in case you want to have more info, check this thread: http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,36876.0.html

PS; Snowleopard was faster than me  :D

Pretty much what keeps this place from becoming an argument riddled forum place like most other places? yeah, its also probably why i like this community so much as well.

You're probably the first centipede fan I've run across.  They're weird but cool little critters.  My background is wildlife biology but I have a soft spot for the creepy crawlies.  (I love spiders).

I read "Do's and Donuts" for some reason.
