Introduction

Postby Disgustipatedatu » 14 Jun 2005 17:18

Hola ppl,

Just dropping a line to introduce myself and say Hi. I'm currently deployed in afghanistan and needed a hobby to burn time. So here I am.
I can't say the whole day is a total waste. If i spent the whole day totally wasted.

Howdy all. I have been interested in puzzles ever since I was a child, not only the ones with pictures also the get the ring off the chain type (If that makes any sence to anyone else). I just recently visited Washington DC and one of the sites I saw was the spy museum, and when I got home I bought a 5 piece set and got to work.

Hello Everyone. I'm new to the whole lockpicking thing. Sure, I know some of the basics behind it, but I've never tried it for real...

I like to learn new things. This is new to me.

Alias: Santos
Age: 19
Location: As stated on left under name
Kit: Southhord MPXS-32
Level: Still a rookie

Yea I know, ^ kinda formal, but accurate. I'm still a rookie on most locks, and just got an official tool. Ahh the paperclip days are long behind me now. Searched for a place online where I could enhance my skills, and thanks to howstuffwork.com, I found this "Unlocked Paradise." Plan to be here for awhile. Seems to be the place to be.

Santos, a word of warning:

Whether your sig reflects your ethics/views or not I don't think that you
will get a lot of help with a signature that says:

"What is yours can be mine" unless of course you are talking of
information?

Anyway, I may or may not speak for everyone here, but I certainly
speak for myself when I say,

I am going to be wary of what info I give to a person with a signature
that could be (hopefully) misinterperated to suggetst, "Hey everyone!!
I'm looking to have the power to take what I like!!"

Hopefully this is not the case, but if you do need to know how to take stuff
look up the anarchists cookbook on the web. That site is all dodgy stuff
like that. Here, ethics is a huge thing and rightfully so.

I AM NOT HAVING A GO AT YOU.
Happy picking, dude.

P.S. Don't try any of the Jolly Rogers' recipes.
He can't balance a chemical equation and will get you blown up.

Mods should be able to see the last time when someone has logged in, perhaps a 3 month (or six week) inactivity period should result in a cancellation of membership. Who knows?
