Dyson Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hey,I had an idea (nothing spectacular) of a way to get to know each other better on the forums. I really like to know the person who I regularly see posts from without having to track them down through facebook etc. Like I now know quite a few people on good terms, Rafaelmfernandez and CFD for example.So... I thought how about a topic where you can introduce yourself so, when people see your username pop up on a thread they recognize you for who you are rather than just as some text in cyber space.Well I'll go first if anyone wants to join in then..I'm Dyson, my actual name is Ashley Dyson, I'm from the U.K. (Manchester North West) and I'm actually not a wannabe (or actual) firefighter like most of you guys. I'm a student, 17 and studying to go to Uni. I do all my modding in my spare time, as a bit of an extreme hobby along with Drumming and sound tech engineering.My facebook if you wanna know what I look like haha .. http://www.emergency-planet.com/1649401337So yeah, anyone else..?Dyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theocd Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I've always toyed with the idea of this sort of thread, but I've always enjoyed the anonymity, or at least the collection of random facts I slowly reveal about myself across the forums. What happens on the other forum I post on (DakkaDakka.com) is a "Show Yourself!" thread. Basically, you post a picture of yourself but with no additional info. You can be you dressed up, side on, full face if you want people to know who you are, but it just says, this is me, rather than this is everything about me.The OC-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Yeah, I like the idea too, I just wanted to get to see who people actually were, people to post as little or as much as they want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray the Wise Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I'm Ray. But you knew that already.I live in the Greater Los Angeles area. I'm rich, but slightly less rich than filthy rich, which means I can afford to possess many vehicles, but none of them are new. Or a Lamborghini. But hey, I can live with that.I like to collect gadgets and prototypes that have very few uses but which are great conversation starters. I believe I already told you that I own the Zamboni Impala from that whatchamacallit show with Jesse James. I also have a discarded Samsung prototype microwave oven with a built-in laserdisc player (Man, weren't the 90s great?). That and a couple of other odd things - I bet I could open a museum.Apart from that, I played the President of the United States in the C&C Red Alert 2 cutscenes. Man, those were fun times... apart maybe from having Udo Kier walk around the set in ladies' underwear. That guy just freaked me out... but then again, so do most Germans. When I think about Germans, I always think about that fat kid screaming at his computer, and that gives me the creeps. Him and that other fat kid from the Simpsons who won't stop eating candy and pastries. Can't stand him. Barry Corbin and me really hit it off though. He once brought a rifle to the set and we'd go outside and shoot pigeons between takes. But then we accidentally shot Kari Wührer's Mustang and she got extremely pissed at us... Heh, fun times anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHawk504 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Well i'm barack obama,His story is the American story — values from the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the conviction that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others.With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas, President Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. He was raised with help from his grandfather, who served in Patton's army, and his grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle management at a bank.After working his way through college with the help of scholarships and student loans, President Obama moved to Chicago, where he worked with a group of churches to help rebuild communities devastated by the closure of local steel plants.He went on to attend law school, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Upon graduation, he returned to Chicago to help lead a voter registration drive, teach constitutional law at the University of Chicago, and remain active in his community.President Obama's years of public service are based around his unwavering belief in the ability to unite people around a politics of purpose. In the Illinois State Senate, he passed the first major ethics reform in 25 years, cut taxes for working families, and expanded health care for children and their parents. As a United States Senator, he reached across the aisle to pass groundbreaking lobbying reform, lock up the world's most dangerous weapons, and bring transparency to government by putting federal spending online.He was elected the 44th President of the United States on November 4, 2008, and sworn in on January 20, 2009. He and his wife, Michelle, are the proud parents of two daughters, Malia, 12, and Sasha, 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritishArmyReserveCadets Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I havent been active on the forums much so i suppose id better start coming back more .Im Tom from West Midlands, UK, feel free to add me on Facebook, just Message me both on Facebook and on the forums who you are http://www.facebook....thomas.attewell . Im currently in the Army Cadet Force and at High School (Yr. 10) and am planning to join the 1st Royal Tank Regiment, Joint Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Team in the British Army.

Ray the Wise Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Well i'm barack obama,His story is the American storyObviously you're not Obama. He wouldn't be talking about himself in the third person. Which is a behavior that I never engage in either.You think Herman Cain is going to be the GOP candidate? I gotta say, I love his friggin' pizzas, they taste like there's an orgy of 1980s female porn stars in my mouth.Remember when there weren't no Interwebs and you had to fulfill your filthy material needs by purchasing video tapes, in weird, dark, smelly stores?...Well, me neither. But you get my point. Godfather's Pizza makes good pizza. Too bad they had to play on the Italian gangster stereotype to name their store chain.

C.F.D Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 What's the Godfather's typical pizza ingredients, Ray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray the Wise Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Pizza ingredients, I guess. Cheese. Tomato sauce. Crust. And then, whatever you want to put on it.I usually have them put tuna on mine. That probably explains the earlier reference to OH DEAR GOD I'VE SAID TOO MUCH!Forget this. Forget everything.
