I just found this site yesterday and signed up.

I have a general fascination with how things work and have spent most of my life taking things apart and putting them back together (not always successfully :D ) It’s just natural that I would eventually move on to locks.

I never knew how much info was available on the topic until I stumbled upon this site. I can't believe how much I've learned just in two days browsing of the site.

See ya on the boards

Welcome to the site everyone,

Make sure your sig pictures fit in with the rules as per size requirements (popsicle yours is too big) and dont type in text language it gets the backs up of the regulars,

Click the picture in my post to link you to lots of helpful guides on site to get you all started in picking,

wow...i never posted here. never. didnt even realize this was here until after i was already introduced to people.

and oh- brandy? that sounds like a girls name....just to warn you...there arent many girls here (not to drive you away) but a bet a lot of guys are going to pick up on this and jump at the opportunity to "meet" a female picker.

just so ya know. also, shrub can be mysterious sometimes, he means dont type like ur n da ghetto n ya have 2 type all ur sh!t like dis, n have wannabe 1337 5k!112 1!k3 m3.

and for those interested in the girl theory, i have another, and that is that varjeal is a girl. i cant remember what triggered this, but i vaguely remember varjeal saying something or someone saying something to varjeal and me going "wait thats a girls name or something like that"
