Its cooler if you make your first post on something entirely random, like penguins wearing sweaters, but hey... an introduction thread is acceptable as a first post.
i still remember being chastised for posting an intro thread a few times on a few other boards... so anytime I see these I await the flaming .... and it never comes... WHY ME!?!?! *hates all new posters from here on.... you being spared for now*
