Welcome to our jungle, mPK. Just curious, are you originally from Zambia, or just currently living there?
My name's Eric, I don't post here as often as I'd like, but this is one of the best forums on the net. My wife is Cindysnoopy, you'll just love her, she's great. Other people to get to know here include GT, Halo, AbbySue, slider, Lev, Phantom, Kodo, goldfish, among many others. People to avoid include Star, Star, and Star. He's trouble, all three of him! And Adrynalne....he does trig and uses a Mac, that's why he's so grouchy.
Just kidding about Star, he's harmless, just smile, nod your head, and say things like, "Yes, Star, that's a very nice picture, you stayed inside the lines and everything" and he'll love ya for life!
Like I said, welcome to OUR jungle!!
Eric

 

You forgot me boyo!!!!!!!!!!

 

cool. I was born in Poole, Dorset southern england. Lived in africa all my life.. was in Zimbabwe since i was like 6months old until end of 2002. 2003 went to Uganda (kinda behind with some stuff but it was a COOL place to live) end of 2003 came back to zim till about end of august when i moved to zambia...

 

Hello and welcome to Major Geeks.

I did my tour of duty in Zimbabwe, which was hardly a vacation, back '79-'80.

Friendly and helpful folk here, kick , relax and have a chat or two.

 

so you was in the Rhodesian army i take it Phantom? what were you? you better not say selous scouts!

 

British, actually. U.X.O/U.X.B. clearance. Some one had to do it. Also convoy protection for farmers. Pretty unpleasant business.

 

cool...

 

This is a typical post from someone who has been holding their breath waiting for the WhiteSox to win the World Series

 

Whats the matter with my white socks and sandals???LOL
It brings the ladies running (unfortunatley ther old enough to be my grandma)
Now where did I put my speedos. It's time for a walk on the beach!(shudder )

 

Wanting to add my welcome to Major Geeks. Seems I got forgotten, too.

Great bunch of people here. Well, most of us.

Gal

 

Run awayyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Note he didn't say just kidding about me, only Star?

 

Yes, welcome to MG. I do say the community here is quite friendly, as long as you don't step on a few toes like I did here. But, I believe those sore toes are about healed.

I didn't forget anybody, I just named a few old friends is all.

i knew you'd pick up on that, and no one's as grouchy as MA, even though he's a teddy bear at heart!

 

Nope! No White Sox fans post here that I know of, unless GT claims them, but I doubt he cares about them or baseball. I'm a Mariners fan (cough, sputter, gack!)
But you're right, that did sound like something a Sox fan would say...I'm surrounded by them, they might be rubbing off on me, and that's a bad thing!

 

Welcome to our virtual world mPK. Some good folks hang out here. Some crazies too. Some are both. You can have fun figuring out which is which.

 

You get by with calling them "old"?

Gal

 

aloha and welcome.

 

Not me. I didn't even realize they were in the Series until I heard it on the news after Game One of the series. LOL. My only interest was that ANY Chicago team won something... it happens so seldom.

Of course you're not a Sox fan. You live on the north side of Chicago. Who are the Mariners?

 

i don't really follow baseball as i never been in the USA where it is huge...

anyone enjoy rugby and/or hockey? now those are good sports that i follow!

 

That's OK. I don't really follow baseball and I've lived here all my life.

Likely some of the Brits & Europeans around here follow rugby, and I know there are some hockey fans around.

 

Welcome to MG mPK, Hope you enjoy your stay here!

Welcome mPK...take your coat off and stay awhile!! It's a great bunch of people to chat with, and even if you don't want to talk...It is quite humorous to see what the others have to say...you can always find a laugh around here!!!!

My wife is always asking me...what the hell are are laughing so much about!!

Hope you too find this as the best site on the WWW!!

Roger

 

That's how I ended up here, leaning over Eric's shoulder because he was laughing at the monitor all the time. Have her log on sometime.

 

mPK,
Welcome to the jungle!

@eclayton,
Have you escaped the wrath of AbbySue and Lev for being referred to as old?

 

DID THEY REFER TO ME AS OLD AGAIN? I TOLD THEM THE WORD IS "WISE', NOT 'OLD'.

 

Welcome to MGs mPK.....strap your safety belt on tight...here we go

 

welcome, mPK! Africa, huh? very cool.

 

I can't fault Eric on that one...after this weekend's hunting I know I am no longer a spring chicken. I felt my age physically for the first time and had to admit defeat........... after 20 hours

 

I don't follow sports at all.. I couldn't tell you the first thing about them

 

I follow sports. I don't turn on the TV until the sports are over.

 

LOL ....good one Gary!

 

@me???? If so...I've tried but she is stubborn and she is even worse than me about wondering if she is saying the right thing or not...or am I stepping on anyone's toes, etc., etc.!!!! Maybe one of these days!!

BTW...just noticed you are from Chicago, or atleast the area anyway???? Where approximately are you...can't be TOO far from us, being that we are over on the south side of Aurora!!??

Roger

 

Roger, yep, me and Cindy live on the Northside, in Uptown, just about 5 blocks from LSD.
