Hello!

Hi all,

Found you guys by googling -- philosophy monty hall math problem forum.

It appears not a great deal of math but lots of other interesting stuff.

Cheers.

Redlemon

Cremaster. Heh.

Hello I'm new and clueless, what goes on here?

warrrreagl

Hello, there, Ann Detox. Since you've posted something on the world famous TFP boards, you're automatically less clueless.

Hi! I'm Siren and I don't know what to say, exactly. I know I've posted here a couple times before.

Background? It's all so boring. I am a financial aid administrator in a giant college. Questions welcome.

I like movies, mostly old ones and independent film. I love to read. I like an occasionally occasional beer. Or ten.

Freetofly

hmm... I'm new to this forum.
Looks like I will need to take the time and figure out how this all works.

Always good to learn and be involved in something new.

warrrreagl

Free To Fly, you've already figured out the most important thing - type something and click Reply.

And it's always good to learn about someone new.

Hi, I'm new! I hope I'm going to be part of some productive discussions, and learn some new things - who knows, maybe someone can learn something from me as well (:

Freetofly

warrreagl thank you for letting me know someone heard me.

warrrreagl

Meequa (I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly) I love your avatar. It makes me think of this song.


You're welcome. Just know that the TFP higher-ups are cringing right now because I'm the goofbag who just welcomed you.

Hi there all-you-new-folks-who-are-too-numerous-to-list-since-I-last-welcomed-folks-in-this-thread! Glad you all made it and introduced yourself!

I can't think of a better goofbag to welcome folks. Unless it's me.

Thanks (: Actually, I've always pronounced it "m-q-a", but I think I like your way better! Maybe it's time to change the pronounciation =D

Jetée

Pleased to meet you postpacific (you, too mqa).

I do hope you enjoy your venture here, and come to stay a while.

It says "New Users Visit Here FIRST".

I am a New User.

So here I am...uh...here. First.

I like politics, hate slower drivers in the left lane, protect my friends with zeal, and take care of my staff and loved ones better than I take care of myself.

Retired military, been around the block and the planet, and appreciate the incredible luck of being born in the USA where you can get a frozen berry drink at three o'clock in the morning, from your car, less than ten minutes from your house.

Favorite book: Cannery Row.

Not a big sci-fi reader, but I evangelize Snow Crash every chance I get. Like right now.

Read it.

Favorite movie: Koyaanisqatsi.

Sometimes, if someone ticks me off, I might bludgeon them with a ton of evidence. Especially if they are a Nazi type. Especially if they are an Illinois Nazi.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hit it.

dlish

welcome G5000.

i think you and warrreagl will get along just fine

Signing up to this because at first glance, the intelligence level of the posters seems above average. Please don't disappoint me. I'm trying for average myself, so I need inspiration!

OK, I was told to come here first, so here I am.

I live in the 4-corners area of the U.S. I am a retired librarian and I like books, cats and intelligent discussion. I don't like the fact that pluto is no longer a planet. I know how to be polite. I don't know how to spell.

This looks like an interesting place and I look forward to participating in the discussions.

genuinegirly

Welcome, Sly. Sounds like you'll fit in great here!

Hey guys! Seems like a great community! Glad to have found this place! Greetings from NYC!

Jetée

Welcome all. Enjoy our splendors and conversations for however long they may last.

I might start keeping a tally of how many of you actually graduate to more than three posts over the course of a week, and then see what kind of "retaining factor" we might have for any given, and average, month (my presumed guess is not all that high).

Goes with the wicker basket.

(OK, I'm sure I'm the only one to get that reference. But it amuses me.

There's this one-man musical, "Miss Gulch Returns". It's about Miss Gulch, who is the woman in the beginning of The Wizard of Oz who steals Dorothy's dog. The opening number has the performer imagining meeting Miss Gulch in a bar, and trying to make a move on her. Thus, "Nice hat. Goes with the wicker basket".

Oh, nevermind.)
