Hello all
My name is Steve and I'm addicted to firearms. They say that admitting you have a problem is the first step in overcoming your addiction. I say . . . . . bah!!
I've lurked the CO-AR15 forums for awhile now. I finally joined and have had some great interactions with a few different people. I just hadn't made it a priority to create my intro thread. My bad.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candle lit dinners, and . . . . . uh . . . whoa . . .wrong forum. I enjoy collecting and learning about all sorts of different firearms. How's that saying go? Jack of all trades, master of none. That would probably describe my knowledge when it comes to firearms. I've got a lot to learn and it seems like this is a good place to good place to do it. I like shooting, camping, video games, and making stuff. I'm a CNC machinist during the week (yes) and give lap dances to amazingly gorgeous women on the weekends (no).
Well that's about it. I look forward to BS'ing with everyone. Longest / stupidest intro ever? You decide!

Not a bad intro ... only one little nit to pick.
"I've trolled CO-AR15 forums for awhile now."
The correct terminology would be "I've lurked on the CO-AR15 forums for awhile now."
"Trolling" a forum is when you post incendiary things on forums trying to stir up conflict.
And I guess this post officially makes me a Forum Protocol Nazi [Tooth]

In Internet slang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_slang), a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/extraneous#Adjective), or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_forum), chat room (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chat_room), or blog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog), with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion) response[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29#cite_note-PCMAG_def-0) or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29#cite_note-IUKB_def-1) In addition to the offending poster, the noun troll can also refer to the provocative message itself, as in "that was an excellent troll you posted". While the term troll and its associated action trolling are primarily associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels highly subjective (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/subjective#English), with trolling being used to describe intentionally provocative actions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harass) outside of an online context. For example, recent media accounts have used the term troll to describe "a person who defaces internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."
GLOCK = Grenade
That's trolling.

See guys . . . I'm learning stuff already. Thanks!

I replaced trolling with lurked and troll with lurker. Is there a way to change the thread title?
You have to ask a mod, but it's not a big deal. Welcome.

Naw, you're stuck with it.
Welcome. That was an amazing intro. I only wish more folks took the time to let the rest of us know who they are.
I see that you have a unique sense of humor - much like my own. This will probably cause humor-filled chaffing with Stuart and Troublco. So long as you don't feed them after midnight you should be okay.

Welcome!
I've never seen it myself, but I'd be willing to bet that the longest, most drawn out, etc etc, intro was probably Ginsue. Just seems logical. He likes reading about long moonlit walks on the beach, where you're from in nauseating detail, your favorite color, caliber, and so on. And now you have his attention. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.....;)
Ginsue is definately accurate on one point. Unique.......[ROFL1]

Would it be safe to assume to keep them away from water also? And since you brought it up Ginsue . . . what time in the morning is it ok to start feeding these guys again? There was never any real clarification on that. Sun up? 6 or 8am? I'd hate to ruin Christmas . . . . [Stooge]

It's usually safe after 0600, but just to be safe you may wish to wait until sun-up. - Definitely keep them away from water, no matter the time of day!

Pained though I am to say it, Ginsue is right (at least in my case). Gotta keep me away from water. I am only to receive beer, specifically Easy Street Wheat, Fat Tire, Blue Moon, or Avalanche. It was hard for me at first, but I have acclimated to this and am used to it now.
Stu takes only Heineken.
