Introduction of a new member

TomGolden · July 18, 2002, 06:24 PM

Howdy all,

Just joined the site, and wanted to take a couple of minutes to introduce myself.

I live in northern California, where it's semi-civilized

Have been a hunter and firearms lover my whole life. I am also involved in Freemasonry (currently Master of El Dorado #26 F. & A. M. of California) and various different diesel pickup truck internet clubs.

I'm no expert on anything, but I look forward to a wealth of new knowledge on this site, and meeting lots of new friends.

Regards,
Tom

Hi, Tom, and welcome!

You'll probably get a better response if you post this in the "General Discussion" forum.

It tends to be read a lot more, as this forum is really for questions about the operation of the site.

Welcome, Tom. I think you'll find the "introduction" ceremonies here a bit less painful than the "pinkbellies" some of us had to endure during Boy Scout introductions.

Shhhhhhhh everyone makes fun of us Californians!

MULLETHEAD!!!!!!

That's your official TFL name now, mullethead. Exclamation point optional.

Welcome to TFL, the biggest little crock of crapola on this side of the mountain. I am the supreme master-being here, and most everyone here regards my word as law, except for Mike Irwin. I am a virtual plethera of firearms' information, and quite knowledgable in any other things manly. When I drive down the street, I have to keep my windows rolled up, for fear of the hoardes of women that try to jump in my truck.

Yep, that's right, I'm the friggin man. Get in line.

Welcome to TFL.

**Bud Helms** · July 21, 2002, 03:24 PM

Well. That was interesting.

**Mal H** · July 21, 2002, 04:27 PM

Hmmm.
