Topic: Mr. Gainsborough's Introduction

Hi, I heard about this forum so I decided to check it out. It seems pretty cool. My name is Mark. A diehard shoujo anime and manga fan, Final Fantasy 7 lover (if you didn't guess that), and well i watch other anime and play other games too. I'd like to take part in some of the discussions here so I thought it would be proper to introduce myself instead of just barging on in like, "Hi, you don't know me but I'm gonna talk!" So, here I am. If anyone wants to inform me of anything I did wrong with this intro or if I should add something, please do. Or, if you wanna argue about why Aeris is so ridiculously awesome I'm up for the challenge. Have a wonderful day, afternoon, whatever...

Final Fantasy and Anime both suck. Well, Anime only mostly sucks. At least it has Cowboy Bebop. Final Fantasy has no redeeming value.

Well, I guess the quote, "You spoony Bard!" is a redeeming quality, but that was like twenty years ago and nothing of the caliber has been achieved in the series since.

And this is all we needed; another random person with random anime/poorly drawn FF characters sig pics who talks about nothing but said anime or random FF characters.

Here is a site you may find better suits your needs.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

Hi!

What is Aeris doing in the picture? Looks like she's wielding a chainsaw...

Paragraphs. PARAGRAPHS!

This is your block of text. Figblossoms, stenchflowers, pig intestines, high school, balloon animals, Snoogins. See how it spans so many lines and conveys so many ideas within those lines? Now honestly, who wants to read all that? I know I sure don't.

Now paragraphs can seperate ideas properly, so that it's easier for all of us to read.

This makes your posts more enjoyable, and your presence less insulting!

Get the idea?

Is it a chainsaw? Looked liek a giant penis to me, at first.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

Welcome to EC

Your name is pink for your first week here, after which it turns to teal. It goes bronze after a year, silver after two, and gold after three.

The board is segregated by hobbies.

Aquablue is for those of us who like oceanography.
Silver is for those who are fond of weaponry.
Bronze is for those who are avid pet-enthusiasts.
Gold is for geologists.
Purple is for gay people.

If you think you might have been mis-classified, PM someone about it.

You can't do it until your name isn't purple anymore.

Wow, you're unlucky with your timing. Most of the intro posts have the nicer people welcoming you, with the required bashers flaming you in the middle.

I'd say if you last your first week or so, you'll be fine after that.

Mr Gainsborough in the attic with the wrench.

This one seems decent enough. No punishment from me. Though I really should get more use out of the volcano. Hmm...

(*blasts Parcelan with the volcano*)

Not the best use for molten lava, but it was fun for a little while. He'll probably just burrow his way out once it cools.

A gyro burrito?

...does it have lamb mixed with the refried beans? O_o

Oh, it is truly delicious. It's got the gyro bread, then a layer of cheese, then a taco shell (like that cheesy crunchy gordita thing).

Then it has refried beans, ground beef, and the lamb.

Throw whatever sauces you want on it (preferrably BBQ, hot sauce, and/or dill sauce) and you got yourself indigestion and other bathroom problems for a while.

But its all worth it.

Except for the whole black hole "like omg" thing. And the shojo. And the crazy C++ programming (Hey Mark, the purple name is like that purple gay house you did for the graphics project in AP Computer Science!)

...ok, so there's a few things.
