 |
|
Hey guys, I just wanted to say thank you for providing a sanctuary. I have been mostly lurking the past week just to get familiar with everything/everyone and to catch up on some of the more engaginf posts.
I got weary of trying to force good discussion on the other board so here I am. It's really sad that the MLB board has gotten to the point that it's at now. Kind of like seeing your old house torn down.
Anyway, I look forward to contriuting to something that is worth my time and thanks to Shoe again for hooking me up with the link. I notice the monikers of a few guys I have spoken with for years at the other site so that's cool.
Mods, I realize this post may be inappropriate in this thread so feel free to delete at some point. I just wanted to say hi and wasn't sure where to post it.
Thx,
xjwheelr |

Well, if an avatar is supposed to be a caricatured expression of ones self, I just want to say that my avatar is nothing like me! I just dug this picture of a pretty girl and used it until I could find something better. I can't
So I looked her up and found her name: Elin Grindemyr. She is so my type. And a quick GIS found me my new wallpaper. |

She's a Swedish model and her name is Elin Grindemyr. I'll let you Google up the rest. That avatar pic has been around the net for a couple of years now.
What else was this thread about? Oh, welcome from a lurker.

That's Lauren Haire, the ASU student that backed into the job of walking around the field, looking hot, and talking to people on the jumbotron.
