I'm another new member poking around on a visit from TU. A little about myself --
I'm 46 years old, the father of a fifteen-year-old boy, and a business manager by profession. I'm a musician who's played semi-pro, and a writer by hobby trying to sell a couple of pieces.
I was born in Dallas, Texas. I spent four years of my childhood in Iran under the regime of the Shah, and when the Revolution overthrew him, my family settled in California. I'm an Air Force veteran of Desert Storm, and I've recently returned to my home state. I currently live outside Austin.
I've been an atheist for three decades, and active in online freethought sites since the AOL days, where I was a regular in their "Evolution is a Fact" and "God is a Myth" chats. Anyone here from those days might know me as Thump, because I've been using this name since forever, but I was first online as "DiggingWes".
Thump!!
How goes it :-)
Greetings. Always glad to see atheists from Texas. Need some sanity down that way.
Hiya Wolf.
Here in Austin, Strom, there's a healthy enclave of freethinkers. It's still more religious than SoCal, where I lived the last two decades prior to moving here in August.
Hey man, welcome. Good to have an internets old timer on here :)
ouch :-)
I thumped a lumpicus yesterday
Lots of fun, I must say
It don't matter if you're straight or Gay
Just grab your lumpicus and thump away
Lumpicus come in sizes galore
One is not enough? Buy some more!
A variety of colors too
oh goodness me! What shall I do?
Oh my lumpicus I need you so
Fedex it here thru ice and snow
I'll use that lumpicus like a boss
Till I'm satisfied, then give it a toss
You can prod and push and poke
just anything, and that's no joke!
and at the end, i have to say
lumpicus are here to stay!
Welcome, Thump!
(Sorry, too lazy to type your full handle)
Lumpicus: an item difficult to describe that has multiple uses. I am so pleased with myself right now.
<----- impressed with Strom's creativity 8-)

No sweat, bub, it's you and seven thousand three hundred and sixty-one others. In like manner, I bet you get called "Dunk", and it's all good.

Forgive me, Strom.
You play the bass don't you?
That's my second instrument. I'm primarily a guitarist. But my last paying gig was bass in a band called "Blues Bullet" out of Ventura CA. I'm a simple bassist, play with my fingers (NO PICKS!), can't slap or thump all that well, but I know my theory and can craft a cool melodic bassline that is not "ah shit, the guitarist is playing bass" kinda stuff.
I've got some old demos (recorded in the 90s, on analog tape 4-track, yikes) on my Soundcloud (//https://soundcloud.com/thumpalumpacus) page. I played all of the instruments on all but one of those songs.

That's what most of us call him anyway. 8-)
Welcome T.. I'm even lazier.. my old AOHell name was MYRIGHTARM.. you might have been around the shitstorm when I was kicked off aol for using nasty language that undoubtedly ruined the lives of the youth of the nation at the time when I inadvertently used the filthiest word in the English speaking world, 'ass'. I feel so ashamed.
A friend hacked in aol's impenetrable security to mailbomb thousands of email accounts with..uhh.. asses. :D
lmao, they were a bunch of persnickety asses, eh? I don't remember that SN, but no doubt I would certainly remember such a shocking event as someone using the A-word on AOL.
**does Butthead imitation:: ehehehe heheheeh.. I said ass! :P
