Title: A belated hello
Post by: Leon on May 31, 2008, 07:09:30 PM
Greetings  :)

Extreme laziness has stopped me from registering till now. This may be my first post but I've been lurking on the forum and enjoying the comics for quite a while.

For a living I work in I.T.; mainly coding and database work. I enjoy sci-fi, fantasy, gaming (mostly online) and football. So pretty much a stereotypical geek.

Welcome. Welcome to Clockwork Mansion. It's safer here. Beware of the box of doom, random fires and napalm showers, guys with swords and the people who tell you to beware of the people. Follow the rules, venerate the immortal Empress (Mab) and have fun.

Welcome aboard.  Remember to read the rules, have fun, don't annoy the moderators and so on and so forth.
Interesting that you like football - I never really managed to square that with the IT geek type.  To be sure, I never really got over my detestation of the sport from being forced to play it back at school...

Hi, This is a place where everything that is associated with mental stability gets lost, or is lost the moment you enter.  We generally blame the same thing but it would rather remain a secret, cause it want to act like it doesn't like getting blamed which is a total lie.

Zombies, why did it have to be zombies?

I read the rules before I joined. It seemed rude not to seeing as someone had gone to the trouble of writing them all down. Plus I had to check in case there was an immortal soul clause.

I didn't care for it that much at school either. Lots of freezing cold afternoons stuck in defence or goal along with all the other kids who were no good. *shudder*
It only started to get fun later on playing 5 a side with people of similar ability (i.e. almost none at all  :))

I'll keep an eye out for these dodgy characters

That's the one that is in tiny font, upside down, on the back.

You do that. Try to keep the nerves attached, though, you might need the eye later.

I want to know how it's safer here.  That's the one that has been screwing with me.

I have no idea either. :. It's a paradox, I guess.
