    Default I found the Washburn people

    I love google! I searched some of my favorite user names from the old place and it took me here.

    I really missed how good the old place use to be and this new place looks great. There is some great topics in the "open mic" forum. I hope I can add something worth while to this forum I know that the other people that came over from the old place will add a lot.

    I feel like I was at a lame party and I found the cool people outside drinking beer.

    Welcome Merlin! I'm a recent émigré, too, but there are a bunch of old faces (nicks?) here. Somebody will be by to collect the immigration tax any moment now . . .

    Hey Shiner,
    I ripped my pants jumping the fence to get in here.

    Is there any Pearl TX threads yet? I enjoy reading those.

    There are few Pearl pictures in "How about a thread showing a picture of yourself", and we've been trying to talk Katastrophe and any other Texas Fretters into meeting up with us there.

    Oh, Pappy's over here too.

    Good to be here Ted.
    That question can probably be answered better by other people. There has been a lot of "drama" over there with the moderator and I have stayed out of it.

    By the way, great avatar. "I need more cowbell"

    Hello Merlin, good to see you didn't let the fence become an obstacle that prevented you from coming in. Ditto on what everyone else has said and enjoy the best place on the net.
