Greetings, humans

Post by Sigmund » Sat Jun 25, 2011 5:07 am

Hello everybody !

My name is Simon, I'm 29 and I live in France, in a town called Toulouse, not far from the spanish border. Next year I plan to visit the USA for about 2 or 3 months, and you'll certainly agree with me on this one, there's no way to miss such an event as the Burning Man !!

So I really look forward to know you all a little bit better, and to share with you this incredible moment next year !

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

I don't know if we can have another Simon, if he's anything like the first. Someone open his luggage and see how many socks he has!

>AntiM : lol you have no idea... Glad to see that they are some Doctor Who's fans around here, although it's not really surprising... But truth is, the main reason for coming to BM next year is to expand my "inner me", I feel I still have some rooms that remain unexplored !

>Graidawg : that's alright, we joke about our town's name like... everyday, or so ! 'Cause when you think you're about to loose, you only can win, right ?

>Jkisha : Thanks ! At last a place where feet doesn't burn ?

>Foxfur : Thank you ! But I don't know where you've been in France, or who you met, but even the lamest English-speaking French guy can pronounce "ice" correctly ! (see the topic I'm talking about ??). Not like these Aussies who pronounce "oyshh" !

>theCryptofishist : well you can call me Sigmund, if there are too many Simons. I don't know the other one, but I can assure you that I have one pair of sock for the week, and they smell nice !

Hum...

Of course, in my last post, I meant "a pair of socks FOR EVERY DAY of the week". Let's not encourage some people (see who I mean ?) to say or think that the French have a problem with the elementary hygiene.

Oh, come on ! There are now so many French in London that it will be soon our new 22nd county ! (and that's also because I've never been there, I hate meeting lots of my fellow citizens in foreign countries. Unless I've chose it).

Hi Simon! Welcome to the board.

Thank goodness you clarified about the socks. I was feeling a little faint.

Now if we can just convince him to shave his balls before he goes to the Playa.

Dude passed the test with flying colors.
Siggy's well read around here.
I think we can use him in our evil plan.

Thanks for the reminder Fishy. I need a sock (other foot always in mouth).

>Savannah : Hi there ! Yeah, I quickly noticed that socks can be a real matter. Reading through the forum, I even learned that if you wear black socks when doing nude yoga, you're probably a cop. So, even if I love wearing black clothes, I'll make an effort and only wear happy shiny underwears.

>Oneeyeddick : uh... I never dreamt of becoming a pornstar, so I never shaved my balls, but hey, why not ? As long as you give me a good reason for that. Is it considered as a gift ? And if it is, am I supposed to offer my pubic hair ?

Thanks Foxfur ! I don't know what your evil plan is, but it sounds interesting. What is it ? Conquer the world ? A coup ? Financial crisis ? Business opportunity ? Revenge on BM's cops ? :twisted:

Hmmm that's interesting... I wonder how such an horrible death camp could have surged in BM, and what are Doc Pyro's most secret and horrific experimentations yet to discover... If this mad man shows up again in 2012, I volunteer for reconnaissance & sabotage. If I don't get caught by Doc Pyro... There something in his... Hair... That is a little bit hypnotic... Can't take my eyes off... Him... Must... Resist...
