Just thought I'd drop a note of introduction.

I am a 48 year old small business ( one man ) owner here in Florida. I am married with three children...24, 20 and 17.

I have, in the past, been a mod on a discussion forum and I've got several thousand posts under my belt. I am here to discuss issues and have some fun. I have a potty mouth......and I am terminally sarcastic......but I try not to pick the low hanging fruit. Being snarky is not the same thing as being sarcastic.

I will be honest here. While it is necessary to be dishonest on occasion in real life, this is an anonymous forum. What's the point of being dishonest?

Let the fun begin.

Welcome!

Nothing wrong with sarcasm, as long as it's not a substitute for facts. :wink:

Should be interesting to watch and see you collide with a few of our other sarcastic posters. :popcorn2:

The fun already began some time ago. I'm glad to see you joining in.

We could use a bit more sarcasm, anyway. You hardly ever read any here. There is a bit of irony being posted from time to time however.

Yes! How did you know that. You are the first person to ever guess correctly! Sadly, it's previous owner, a resident of Fukushima, mistakenly thought it was a tsunami detector.

I've seen variations of them before. Mainly those with the multiple frog or dragon heads spaced around the rim. Marvelous contraptions.

I trust its previous owner didn't share your keen humour. lulz

Actually.....it is a clay dog. My highly intelligent, beautiful and remarkably athletic 17 yo daughter suffers from an acute lack of artistic ability. That was her best effort.

Since she was aiming to make an egg cup, I think it showcases her creativity.

When she showed it to me.....I had to tell her how great it was. She threatened to SING if I didn't!
